The role of solar ultraviolet irradiation in zoster

open access: yesEpidemiology and Infection, 2002
Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) suppresses many aspects of cell-mediated immunity but it is uncertain whether solar UV exposure alters resistance to human infectious diseases. Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) causes varicella (chickenpox) and can reactivate from latency to cause zoster (shingles).

Addressing the Energy Trilemma: The Role of Entrepreneurship, Regulation, and Climate Finance

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Balancing energy security, energy equity, and environmental sustainability has become increasingly challenging as economies pursue low‐carbon growth amid climate risk and persistent disparities in access to modern energy. Although entrepreneurship is widely recognized as a driver of innovation, its role in addressing the energy trilemma ...

Investigating the effect of solar modelling using different solar irradiation data sets/sources within South Africa

open access: yes, 2011
Includes bibliographical references (leaves63-64).When designing a solar energy system, accurate solar data for the specific site in which one plans to install the system is required to accurately determine the sizing of the system components based on ...

Optimization of moth-eye antireflection schemes for silicon solar cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Nanostructured moth-eye antireflection schemes for silicon solar cells are simulated using rigorous coupled wave analysis and compared to traditional thin film coatings. The design of the moth-eye arrays is optimized for application to a laboratory cell (

Passive Moisture‐Driven Cooling via Low‐Cost and Shape‐Stabilized Hygroscopic Composite Foam for High‐Power Electronics

open access: yesCarbon Energy, EarlyView.
A passive moisture‐driven cooling strategy is proposed to effectively manage the heat in high‐power electronic and energy devices, reducing the chip temperature by 37°C, the lithium‐ion battery temperature by 26°C, and the photovoltaic panel temperature by 15°C, thereby to enhance the battery safety and PV efficiency with a low‐cost, shape‐stabilized ...

Reproducing cloud microphysical and irradiance measurements using three 3D cloud generators

open access: yes, 2007
Using three cloud generators, three-dimensional (3D) cloud fields are reproduced from microphysical cloud data measured in situ by aircraft. The generated cloud fields are used as input to a 3D radiative transfer model to calculate the corresponding ...

Sunlight‐Driven Green Synthesis of Platinum Nanoparticles From Double‐Vacancy Halide Perovskite Precursors for Methanol Reforming

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The development of synthetic procedures for preparing metal nanoparticles with controlled size using sunlight opens new avenues toward more sustainable methods with lower energy consumption. Herein, we propose the use of double‐vacancy halide perovskites as precursors for engineering highly crystalline and small platinum nanoparticles (< 3 nm)

The Role of Current Mismatch on Reverse‐Bias Stability of Monolithic Perovskite/Silicon Tandem Solar Cells

open access: yesEcoEnergy, EarlyView.
Reverse‐bias stability in monolithic perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells requires a silicon–current‐limited regime. When the perovskite current exceeds the silicon current, the reverse voltage is mainly borne by the silicon cell, reducing perovskite stress.
