Can hydrogenation mitigate Cu-induced bulk degradation in silicon? [PDF]
, 2020 Many defects can cause significant bulk degradation in crystalline silicon, which inherently limits solar cell efficiency. Perhaps the most well-known source of light-induced bulk degradation (LID) in Czochralski-grown silicon is the boron-oxygen defect.

Proteasome nuclear activity affects chromosome stability by controlling the turnover of Mms22, a protein important for DNA repair. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2010 To expand the known spectrum of genes that maintain genome stability, we screened a recently released collection of temperature sensitive (Ts) yeast mutants for a chromosome instability (CIN) phenotype.

Amplitude response and singularity behavior of circadian clock to external stimuli
npj Systems Biology and Applications, 2023 Amplitude changes caused by environmental cues are universal in the circadian clock and associated with various diseases. Singularity behavior, characterized by the disruption of circadian rhythms due to critical stimuli, has been observed across various

Second-stage potential-induced degradation of n-type front-emitter crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules and its recovery [PDF]
, 2023 We investigate the second-stage potential-induced degradation (PID) of n-type front-emitter (n-FE) crystalline silicon (c-Si) photovoltaic (PV) modules. The PID of n-FE c-Si PV modules is known to occur in three stages under negative bias stress.
