Low‐Temperature Gold Deposition Improves CdTe Back Contacts

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Cd(Se,Te) samples are cooled during the evaporation of Au back contacts to thermally quench CdTe degradation. Reduced temperature during Au evaporation boosts PV efficiency, open‐circuit voltage, and fill factor. XPS associates these improvements with less chemical perturbation of the CdTe surface during metallization.

Enhanced Photostability and Reduced Burn‐In Losses in Organic Solar Cells via a 2PACz‐Modified PEDOT:PSS Hole Transport Layer

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
A PEDOT:PSS/2PACz hole transport layer reduces burn‐in degradation and enhances the photostability of organic solar cells. The interfacial modification with 2PACz mitigates photo‐induced interfacial disorder, enabling stable power conversion efficiencies under continuous illumination for over 650 h.

Chaotropic Surface Arginine Correlates With Protein Corona Formation on Anti‐Fouling Biomaterial Surfaces: A Quantitative Proteomics and Protein Structure Study

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Why do specific proteins accumulate on “non‐fouling” surfaces? Quantitative proteomics and structural analysis reveal surface‐exposed arginine as the key molecular determinant. ABSTRACT The protein corona determines the biocompatibility of medical devices, yet predicting its composition on anti‐fouling surfaces remains challenging.

Testing and Simulation of Multilayer Polyvinylidene Fluoride‐Based Piezoelectric Energy Harvester Devices

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
The study considers the use of polymer/dielectric‐based multilayers piezoelectric Energy Harvesters (EH) to produce an output voltage and current, by exploiting the mechanical energy provided by human organs movements. In particular, the heart motion is considered from the kinematic viewpoint, and a multiphysics theoretical model is developed to assess

Programmable Pneumatic Actuator System for a Bioinspired Artificial Colon

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A modular soft robotic colon simulator driven by programmable pneumatic actuation is developed to mimic physiological and pathological‐like motility patterns of the large intestine. Finite element–guided design and distributed control enable anatomically realistic deformation for peristalsis, segmentation, and mass movements, supporting capsule ...

On the Summability of Power Series

Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society, 1932
The author \(1^\circ\) gives a necessary and sufficient condition for the summability \((C, \gamma)\) of the power series \(f(z) =\sum a_nz^n\), \(a_n =o(n^\gamma)\) \((\gamma > -1)\) on the circle \(| z| = 1\), \(2^\circ\) applies the condition to obtain some (mostly known) theorems on the summability of power series, bounded (or even satisfying a ...

The Summability of Fourier Series

The Mathematical Gazette, 1931
One of the oldest problems in the theory of Fourier series is that of looking for a criterion that a Fourier series shall converge. No one, however, has been able to find a simple, necessary and sufficient condition for this. Thus, for instance, bounded variation of the function is sufficient but not necessary.

On Strong Summability of Fourier Series of Summable Functions

Ukrainian Mathematical Journal, 2000
Summary: In the metric of \(L\) we obtain estimates for the generalized means of deviations of partial Fourier sums from an arbitrary summable function in terms of the corresponding means of its best approximations by trigonometric polynomials.
