One-dimensional study of both electronic and electrical parameters of a silicon solar cell in the presence or not of an electric eld, a magnetic eld, or an electromagnetic eld does not take into account the grain size and the grain boundary recombination velocity. A three-dimensional study, on the contrary, takes those factors into account.(...)

3-D Modeling of Temperature Effect on a Polycrystalline Silicon Solar Cell under Intense Light Illumination
Boubacar Soro, Martial Zoungrana, Issa Zerbo, Mahamadi Savadogo, Dieudonné Joseph Bathiebo
The efficiency of a silicon solar cell is directly linked to the quantity of carrier photogenerated in its base. It increases with the increase of the quantity of carrier in the base of the solar cell. The carrier density in the base of the solar
cell increases with the increase of the flux of photons that crosses the solar cell. One of the m(...)

H i kinematics and mass distribution of Messier 33
S Zacharie Kam, Claude Carignan, Laurent Chemin, Tyler Foster, Ed Elson, Tom H Jarrett
A new deep H i survey of the galaxy Messier 33 is presented, based on observations obtained at the Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory. We observe a perturbed outer gas distribution and kinematics in M33, and confirm the disk warping as a significant twist of the major axis of the velocity field, although no strong tilt is measured, in ag(...)
