Spectral filtering experimentation on Photovoltaic cells using novel bio-fil...IJECEIAES
The challenges facing solar power grid system in Africa is huge. Most salient of these challenges is the inefficiency of the photovoltaic (PV) module to sustain its output for more than a year. Certainly, the harsh weather condition in the region can be said to be one of the reasons for the shortcoming that was earlier highlighted. In this research, bio-filters were suggested to filter the harmful radiation hitting the PV module. The bio-filter is made up of copper coated hibiscus extract. The hibiscus extract was done using ethanol solution. It was observed that the bio-filter was able to filter the some of the harmful radiation as expected. Using the current, voltage and power output, it can be observed that the efficiency of the PV module improved by >8%. This result is impressive compared to other simple optical filters. The quantity of the harmful solar radiation was not estimated because of the limitations of the equipment used for the research. The authors recommend that the spray pyrolysis device be used to have the exact layer of the bio-filter. It is also recommended that the degradation of the spray film due to prolonged exposure to sunlight should be studied within some months. More work can be done in estimating the percentage of infrared the biofilter can absorb per time.
Image Analysis of Periapical Radiograph for Bone Mineral Density Prediction IJECEIAES
Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disease. Parameter from any bone site in the body has possibility to be developed as a predictor of osteoporosis. The alteration in the mandible trabecular bone is visible in periapical radiographs. The aim of this study was to correlate the area parameter and the integrated density of periapical radiograph with bone mineral density. Image analysis of periapical radiograph i.e. measurement of area parameter and integrated density was done on Region of Interest (ROI) by using canny edge detection method. Result of this study showed that the area parameter has asignificant (α<0.05) negative correlation with the bone mass density (BMD) of the lumbar spine (r = -0.371) and T-score of the lumbar spine (r = -0.383). The linear regression test showed that the area parameter only can be used to predict T-score of the lumbar spine (F=5.822, α<0.05). The integrated density showed a significant (α < 0.05) negative correlation with T-score of hip (r = -0.332) and T-score of lumbar spine (r = -0.377). It can be concluded that the area parameter can be used as one of input parameters for computeraided system of osteoporosis early detection by using periapical radiograph.

Synthesis and characterization of zno thin films deposited by chemical bath t...eSAT Journals
Abstract ZnO thin films have been deposited on silica glass substrate using the chemical bath deposition technique. The precursors used were zinc chloride and aqueous ammonia. The solution was stirred continuously with the help of a magnetic stirrer at a bath temperature of 70 oC and a deposition time of 70 minutes. The elemental composition and the surface morphology were studied using energy dispersive and scanning electron microscopy. The band gap was 2.72, 2.66, 2.60 eV for as-deposited, annealed at 200 oC and 300 oC respectively. There was a red shift in the band gap energy as the annealing temperature was increased. This might be due to an improvement in the crystallinity of the ZnO thin films. Index Terms: Zinc oxide, chemical bath, band gap, annealing
The document summarizes the synthesis and characterization of ZnO thin films deposited by chemical bath deposition technique. ZnO thin films were deposited on silica glass substrates in a chemical bath containing zinc chloride and ammonia at 70°C for 70 minutes. Elemental composition analysis using EDAX confirmed the formation of ZnO. SEM images showed the films had a nanorod morphology. The band gap was determined to be 2.72 eV for the as-deposited film and decreased to 2.66 eV and 2.60 eV for films annealed at 200°C and 300°C, respectively, due to improved crystallinity.
The document discusses improving light trapping in perovskite solar cells by developing a nano-structured transparent contact. The goal is to enhance the quantum efficiency, short-circuit current, and open-circuit voltage of perovskite solar cells to increase overall efficiency. A methodology is proposed that involves simulating flat and nano-cone structured perovskite solar cells and modifying the nano-cone structure parameters to optimize light trapping. Simulation results show reduced power losses and reflections with the nano-cone structures compared to flat structures, demonstrating enhanced light trapping. Future work could involve developing lead-free perovskites and texturing multiple layers.

7. To whom it may concern:
My name is Hung-Zen, Kuo. I joined the project of concentration photovoltaic
(CPV) project when I worked in the Institute of Nuclear Energy Research (INER)
from Oct. 2004 to Jun 2010. During this project, I worked with a bunch of excellent
people. They are so great that I learned a lot from them such as the procedure of doing
the research, the experiment techniques, the ways of solving problems and the ways
of dealing with the relationship of human beings.
In this project, I was responsible for the solar power plant planning, the power
system analysis and design, the design and simulation of optical lens, the automated
inspection apparatus design for optoelectronic component, the solar cell
indoor/outdoor measurement and the data analysis, the reliability verification of solar
cell and module. Through the above tasks, there are obstructions , like automated
inspection for solar cell, alignment of Fresnel lens with solar cell, solar cell package
and heat dissipation…, etc. However, our team worked together to solve these
problems. We earned several USA and Taiwan invention patents. We developed the
reliable and stable CPV models according to the IEC 62108 and UL8703 standard; I
planned and developed the project of 100kW and 1MW CPV power plant. At the
preliminary stage, it was set in the INER. And then was accomplished in Kaohsiung
County, which is the biggest CPV power plant demonstration in Asia at that time.
In order to enhance my professional knowledge, when I worked in the INER, I
went to the optics and photonics semiconductor classes after work (no credit). By
doing so, I acquired more knowledge to solve the problems when I encountered in my
experiments. I was encouraged by Dr. Shan-Ming Lan, who is a senior researcher, to
pursue the PhD degree in National Central University in 2007.
I have been working in CompSolar since July 2010. I not only improved the
short comings of the designs offered by the prior research team, but also made the
procedures of photovoltaic module more efficient and perfect. I am in charge of the
project of high efficient photovoltaic module and the project of high efficient
photovoltaic receiver. I am also an instructor of the Beijing Green Science and
Technology Industrial Co., Ltd. (BEGI) in Beijing and the 25MW photovoltaic
module assembly line and solar power plant planning.
I am an outgoing person. There is no limit in my career. I hope to apply what I
learned in school such as optical lens design theory and manufacturing method of
optoelectronic component, project management work practices, production line
planning and the final product reliability verification experience to help your
company to solve optoelectronic product design, development, electrical
measurements, reliability verification, the system was built setting and planning as
well as the other problems encountered.
