An effective encapsulation solution for flexible CIGS is urgently needed to ensure a competitive market entry of the technology. In this work, we demonstrate feasibility effectively encapsulate module-level (10 × 10 cm2) CIGS/glass solar cells by employing thin Al2O3 barrier layer grown atomic deposition (ALD). As determined direct methodology, nm ALD-Al2O3 proved be sufficient in preventing el...

Software developers are expected to protect concurrent accesses to shared regions of memory with some mutual exclusion primitive that ensures atomicity properties to a sequence of program statements. This approach prevents data races but may fail to provide all necessary correctness properties.The composition of correlated atomic operations without further synchronization may cause atomicity vi...

let $r$ be a commutative noetherian ring with non-zero identity and $fa$ an ideal of $r$. let $m$ be a finite $r$--module of finite projective dimension and $n$ an arbitrary finite $r$--module. we characterize the membership of the generalized local cohomology modules $lc^{i}_{fa}(m,n)$ in certain serre subcategories of the category of modules from upper bounds. we define and study the properti...

let $r$ be a ring and $m$ a right $r$-module with $s=end_r(m)$. a module $m$ is called semi-projective if for any epimorphism $f:mrightarrow n$, where $n$ is a submodule of $m$, and for any homomorphism $g: mrightarrow n$, there exists $h:mrightarrow m$ such that $fh=g$. in this paper, we study sgq-projective and$pi$-semi-projective modules as two generalizations of semi-projective modules. a m...

we consider the class $mathfrak m$ of $bf r$--modules where $bf r$ is an associative ring. let $a$ be a module over a group ring $bf r$$g$, $g$ be a group and let $mathfrak l(g)$ be the set of all proper subgroups of $g$. we suppose that if $h in mathfrak l(g)$ then $a/c_{a}(h)$ belongs to $mathfrak m$. we investigate an $bf r$$g$--module $a$ such that $g not = g'$, $c_{g}(a) = 1$. we stud...

In this paper‎, ‎we introduce the notion of $(m,n)$-‎algebr‎aically compact modules as an analogue of algebraically‎ ‎compact modules and then we show that $(m,n)$-algebraically‎ ‎compactness‎ ‎and $(m,n)$-pure injectivity for modules coincide‎. ‎Moreover‎, ‎further characterizations of a‎ ‎$(m,n)$-pure injective module over a commutative ring are given‎.

During behavioural synthesis, an abstract functional description of a system is mapped automatically onto a physical structure. In a competitive setting, this mapping will be highly optimised the dataflow is re-arranged, units and registers are multiplexed and so on to deliver a final structure that meets some overall user supplied specification. Ultimately, however, the physical functional uni...

The fair exchange problem is key to trading electronic items in systems of mutually untrusted parties. We consider modern variants of such systems where each party is equipped with a tamper proof security module. The security modules trust each other but can only communicate by exchanging messages through their host parties. These are untrusted and could intercept and drop those messages. We sh...

BACKGROUND The main function of red blood cells is to transport oxygen to all parts of the body with the help of hemoglobin. Other proteins of the cell membrane can attach xenobiotics (eg, drugs) from the blood and transport them throughout the body. Only drugs able to bind to the membrane of the red blood cell can modify its structure and elastic properties. The morphology and local elastic pr...

 The class of ads modules with the SIP (briefly‎, ‎$SA$-modules) is studied‎. ‎Various conditions for a module to be $SA$-module are given‎. ‎It is proved that for a quasi-continuous module $M$‎, ‎$M$ is a UC-module if and only if $M$ is an $SA$-module‎. ‎Also‎, ‎it is proved that the direct sum of two $SA$-modules as $R$-modules is an $SA$-module when $R$ is the sum of the annihilators of thes...
