Building integrated photovoltaic's sf2013
BIPV stands for building integrated photovoltaics and refers to solar panels that are integrated into standard building materials like the roof or facade during construction. Unlike standard solar panels, BIPV systems are customized for each building application and engineered to both generate electricity and satisfy structural or aesthetic requirements. While BIPV systems may have higher upfront costs compared to standard panels, their value lies in their dual functionality as both a construction material and electricity generator. As new materials and techniques are developed, the power generation of BIPV systems is improving as well.
Building Integrated PV - BIPV
This document provides an introduction and state-of-the-art report on Building Integrated
Photovoltaics (BIPV) products in 2013. It defines BIPV as solar photovoltaic cells and modules that are
integrated into the building envelope as part of the building structure, replacing conventional building
materials and providing at least one additional functionality besides power generation, such as
weather protection, aesthetics, shading, or insulation. The report categorizes BIPV products based on
their installation location, including products for pitched roofs, flat roofs, and facades. It presents over
80 representative BIPV product examples and intends to release yearly updates on new developments.

Multifunctional, Coloured - BIPV (Glass+Glass) Solar Modules
ONYX Solar BIPV can integrate photovoltaic elements like solar panels into building materials to turn structures like roofs, facades, and canopies into solar power generators. This provides multiple benefits - it generates renewable energy on-site, improves building value, and saves on construction and energy costs. Power Gen-Solar is the sole Indian distributor for ONYX Solar's BIPV products, which include crystalline and amorphous silicon solar panels in varying levels of transparency.
What Market Movements Will Spur BIPV Growth?
The multimillion-dollar question about BIPV is this: what will convince customers -- architects, builders, and homeowners, even construction materials suppliers and financing entities -- to justify the extra expense in a BIPV application? Companies and organizations continue to improve and innovate around the technologies involve with building-integrated photovoltaics (PV), from new cell designs and technologies such as PERC, metal wrap-through, and "smart wire" structures, to new and improved materials from thin-film CIGS to dye-sensitized and organic PV, and the latest solar PV wonder-material perovskite. Standardization will help reduce the complexity (and thus costs) of BIPV installations; this already has made some headway in the U.K. for products such as roof tiles and shingles. These are needed progress in performance and cost reductions, but they're not enough.

How To Jump Start Clean Tech Links
Mark W. Johnson and Josh Suskewicz argue that focusing solely on developing individual clean technologies is not enough to transition away from fossil fuels. They propose a disruptive innovation approach that considers:
1) Enabling technologies paired with innovative business models and careful adoption strategies.
2) Creating whole new energy systems rather than just parts, as seen in the example of Better Place developing electric vehicles and charging infrastructure together.
3) Factors like government policy, as projects like Masdar City and its cleantech investments have advantages normal private projects lack due to government support.
Transitioning energy systems requires a holistic approach beyond technology alone.

Emerging and Innovative Approaches in Photovoltaics
It’s time to reinforce and reshape R&D efforts to speed-up the PV business
NOW IS THE TIME FOR INNOVATION!
2012 - 2013 was a tough time for most PV manufacturers, as they faced difficulties due to strongly decreasing market prices resulting from an overcrowded market and high total manufacturing overcapacities. During this period the industry was focused on securing short-term sales, and there was little investment in new equipment and R&D activities.
But now the PV market is showing signs of renewed optimism. Investors are renewing their interest in PV start-up companies developing emerging PV technologies and applications. Equipment makers are finding new opportunities in equipment sales, either to increase production capacity in existing facilities or to build new ones. Big players, especially in China, are increasing their acquisition activities in order to secure a competitive advantage.
All of these developments open new opportunities for R&D funding, and the possibility to transfer R&D achievements into an industrial environment. At the same time, the increased performance and decreasing cost of PV components and systems will allow for new applications and wider use of PV technology for electricity generation.
PHOTOVOLTAICS: WHERE ARE THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR INNOVATION?
Although photovoltaics (PV) has reached a relatively high level of technological maturity, with many PV products commercially available today, strong efforts are underway to develop new solar cell technologies, to improve the performance of existing ones and to develop new applications for solar cells.
In this report, the PV industry’s main technology and market trends are presented, and the suitability of different PV technologies (crystalline silicon, CIGS, organic PV, etc.) for various applications is analyzed - with a focus on existing potential for further innovations.
For most conventional applications, where PV serves solely to generate electricity, it’s difficult to compete with continuously improving crystalline silicon technology, which dominates the PV market (>85% market share). Therefore, most developers of alternative PV technologies are focused on other PV functionalities (flexibility, color, low-light performance, indoor light performance, etc.) and on alternative application segments. Moreover, tandem and multijunction hybrid approaches, such as a multijunction solar cell, are also being studied.
The large number of process steps in PV product manufacturing provides great potential for innovative solutions: by avoiding, replacing, improving or adding process steps and materials used, a combination of many “small” improvements can lead to better performance and lower manufacturing costs.

Uri Hasson - Film and Music Workshop
This document discusses several studies on neural synchronization during viewing of audiovisual content like movies and during natural speech. It summarizes findings that brain responses are highly correlated between individuals viewing the same movie segments. For speech, it finds coupling between production and comprehension regions in speakers and listeners, and that greater coupling predicts better comprehension. It proposes that shared neural responses may underlie communication and discusses applications like using neuroscience to improve filmmaking, psychotherapy or education.
Steffen Schmidt - „tone and mood“ – Music in Film
This document discusses how film music constructs emotive narratives through leitmotifs in the genre of film noir. It analyzes a scene from the film Double Indemnity, where Miklos Rozsa uses four leitmotifs to represent musical characters, emotive states, and narrative functions. Specifically, the leitmotifs reflect the protagonist losing his moral compass, trespassing laws and norms, and ultimately reflecting the feeling of guilt through the musical narration of recollection and reflection. The document argues that film music provides an emotive contour that works together with the cinematic narration to give meaning and shape a ritual of recollecting one's actions and feelings in the story.
Uri Hasson - Neurocinematics: The Neuroscience of Film
1. The document discusses research on how the brain processes complex natural stimuli like movies, stories and music. It finds reliable synchronized neural responses across individuals when exposed to such stimuli, indicating shared representations.
2. It examines how the brain integrates information over different timescales, finding a hierarchy of temporal receptive windows in different brain regions. Early auditory cortex responds over short timescales of seconds while prefrontal cortex integrates over longer timescales of paragraphs or more.
3. Open questions remain about the role of the hippocampus in sustaining long temporal windows and how information is represented at event boundaries. The research has implications for theories of working memory and how memory systems represent the real world.
Patrizia Lombardo - Music Magic in Film

This document discusses the nature of artistic research conducted by musical artists at art universities in Switzerland. It defines artistic research as research done by artists for the arts that involves exploring questions through experimentation and bringing new perspectives. The document outlines four principal areas of inquiry for musical artistic research: musical production, performance, teaching, and music in society. It notes that artistic researchers are likely to investigate questions emerging from their own artistic practice and standards, taking their own perceptions as the object of study, and producing research that can be applied to their artistic work.Marc-André Rappaz - Metaphors, gestures, and emotions in music
This document discusses conceptual metaphors in music through the lens of the Study and Research Group on Musical Metaphors (GERMM). It provides examples of conceptual metaphors that understand musical ideas in terms of other domains, such as architecture, language, and the body. The group aims to study the links between metaphorical language, conceptual metaphors, and our physical and sensory experiences of music through techniques like questionnaires, interviews, motion capture, and neuroimaging. Their research could provide insights into how metaphor, expectation, and embodiment relate to musical meaning and response.
James Davies - What is operatic emotion?
- The document explores the question "What is Operatic Emotion?" through examining portrayals and accounts of Maria Malibran's performances as Desdemona in Rossini's Otello
- Malibran was seen as a preeminent singer and tragedienne who made audiences weep, shudder and suffer as if witnessing a real scene through her emotional performances
- However, some accounts note she sometimes exaggerated emotions to the point of nearing ridiculousness
- The document suggests emotions in opera are cultivated and constructed rather than natural through exploring where emotions belong and how we make them

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

- 23. “ DSC modules yearly generated 10–20% more KWH than conventional crystalline-Si modules of the same rated output power.” About DSSC - Diffuse Light Gain for DSC, even higher under non-optimum angle of incidence (building fa ç ades)
Editor's Notes
- Model evolved form a maker of panels to material supplier over the last 10 years, and we believe we have found our place in the value chain
- Over half is used during the day when the sun is shining – massive PV opportunity!
- Need to get the volume up and the costs down…can’t rely on Government Subs for long term success.
- Good example of an ideal partnership – corus has both mfg exp and routes to market!
- Soldiers “hump” close to 40 lbs of batteries into the field!
- AT 7% Efficiency, using the NREL SAM program, we were able to get to 10.6 cents/kwh LCOE in high volumes!!!
