Abstract

Few prosecutor offices have thorough, systematic intake procedures. In this study, we evaluate a new “Equity and Safety Screening Process” in a jurisdiction that had no formal screening process in place. Through random assignment to screening, we will measure the causal impact of screening on several outcomes related to racial equity and office efficiency via the timing and disposition of cases.

Abstract

This article describes the setup and performance of the near and far detectors in the Double Chooz experiment. The electron antineutrinos of the Chooz nuclear power plant were measured in two identically designed detectors with different average baselines of about 400 m and 1050 m from the two reactor cores. Over many years of data taking the neutrino signals were extracted from interactions in the detectors with the goal of measuring a fundamental parameter in the context of neutrino oscillation, the mixing angle {\theta}13. The central part of the Double Chooz detectors was a main detector comprising four cylindrical volumes filled with organic liquids. From the inside towards the outside there were volumes containing gadolinium-loaded scintillator, gadolinium-free scintillator, a buffer oil and, optically separated, another liquid scintillator acting as veto system. Above this main detector an additional outer veto system using plastic scintillator strips was installed. The technologies developed in Double Chooz were inspiration for several other antineutrino detectors in the field. The detector design allowed implementation of efficient background rejection techniques including use of pulse shape information provided by the data acquisition system. The Double Chooz detectors featured remarkable stability, in particular for the detected photons, as well as high radiopurity of the detector components., Comment: 49 pages, 29 figures

13. Homelessness Prevention through Eviction Diversion: an RCT

Author

Subjects

Abstract

Evictions, both informal and court-ordered, are one of the most common pathways to homelessness, but proven interventions to interrupt this pathway are few. Two of three rigorous studies completed in this area show that providing a lawyer to a defendant in formal court eviction proceedings results in fewer court ordered evictions. But there are no corresponding studies regarding whether legal advice provided before the landlord files a formal eviction will result in favorable resolutions for tenants, including improved housing conditions and fewer formal and informal evictions. Is early, low-cost legal assistance an effective, and cost-effective, intervention to prevent evictions that may lead to homelessness? This study hypothesizes that such is the case and will provide rigorous evidence in partnership with Legal Services of Greater Miami. With an anticipated study size of 616 people and a treatment including brief legal advice for individuals threatened with informal eviction by landlords refusing to make repairs, we will learn whether so-called “eviction diversion” is a useful tool to divert individuals and families away from a court eviction, to combat homelessness, and to keep people housed longer.

Abstract

This study will deploy an RCT to understand whether providing encouragement to use an Online Dispute Resolution (“ODR”) platform to resolve traffic compliance matters will result in more use of the platform and whether those that use the platform versus those who do not experience better outcomes. Compliance cases in traffic matters are those where an individual is issued a citation because they were not able to produce some documentation to show they possess it, such as a valid driver’s license or proof of insurance. We will randomly assign who gets encouragement to use the platform and who gets the status quo information about the existence of the platform. We will study whether providing this encouragement results in greater usage of the platform and whether using the platform, as compared to those who do not, affects the following outcomes: 1. Time to disposition, 2. Number of hearings conducted, 3. Length of time expended by users for court matters, 4. Frequency of settlements, 5. Perceptions of procedural justice, and 6. Frequency of failure to appear determinations.

Abstract

Algorithmic recommendations and decisions have become ubiquitous in today's society. Many of these and other data-driven policies, especially in the realm of public policy, are based on known, deterministic rules to ensure their transparency and interpretability. For example, algorithmic pre-trial risk assessments, which serve as our motivating application, provide relatively simple, deterministic classification scores and recommendations to help judges make release decisions. How can we use the data based on existing deterministic policies to learn new and better policies? Unfortunately, prior methods for policy learning are not applicable because they require existing policies to be stochastic rather than deterministic. We develop a robust optimization approach that partially identifies the expected utility of a policy, and then finds an optimal policy by minimizing the worst-case regret. The resulting policy is conservative but has a statistical safety guarantee, allowing the policy-maker to limit the probability of producing a worse outcome than the existing policy. We extend this approach to common and important settings where humans make decisions with the aid of algorithmic recommendations. Lastly, we apply the proposed methodology to a unique field experiment on pre-trial risk assessment instruments. We derive new classification and recommendation rules that retain the transparency and interpretability of the existing instrument while potentially leading to better overall outcomes at a lower cost.

Abstract

Significant structural evolution occurs during the deposition of CuInSe2 solar materials when the Cu content increases. We use in situ heating in a scanning transmission electron microscope to directly observe how grain boundaries migrate during heating, causing nondefected grains to consume highly defected grains. Cu substitutes for In in the near grain boundary regions, turning them into a Cu Se phase topotactic with the CuInSe2 grain interiors. Together with density functional theory and molecular dynamics calculations, we reveal how this Cu Se phase makes the grain boundaries highly mobile

18. Glow discharge optical emission spectrometry for quantitative depth profiling of CIGS thin-films

Author

Abstract

Determining elemental distributions dependent on the thickness of a sample is of utmost importance for process optimization in different fields e.g. from quality control in the steel industry to controlling doping profiles in semiconductor labs. Glow discharge optical emission spectrometry (GD-OES) is a widely used tool for fast measurements of depth profiles. In order to be able to draw profound conclusions from GD-OES profiles, one has to optimize the measurement conditions for the given application as well as to ensure the suitability of the used emission lines. Furthermore a quantification algorithm has to be implemented to convert the measured properties (intensity of the emission lines versus sputtering time) to more useful parameters, e.g. the molar fractions versus sample depth (depth profiles). In this contribution a typical optimization procedure of the sputtering parameters is adapted to the case of polycrystalline Cu(In,Ga)(S,Se)2 thin films, which are used as absorber layers in solar cell devices, for the first time. All emission lines used are shown to be suitable for the quantification of the depth profiles and a quantification routine based on the assumption of constant emission yield is used. The accuracy of this quantification method is demonstrated on the basis of several examples. The bandgap energy profile of the compound semiconductor, as determined by the elemental distributions, is compared to optical measurements. The depth profiles of Na-the main dopant in these compounds-are correlated with measurements of the open-circuit voltage of the corresponding devices, and the quantification of the sample depth is validated by comparison with profilometry and X-ray fluorescence measurements.

19. The Final Stage Reentry Project: an RCT of Expungement and its Effect on Recidivism, Housing, and Employment

Abstract

Direct evidence establishes that the existence of a criminal record, even a record devoid of convictions, constitutes an impediment to stable housing and employment. Equally direct evidence establishes that lack of stable housing and employment are risk factors for recidivism. Together, these two truths establish that the existence of a criminal record is a barrier to the finalization of a successful reentry strategy for justice-involved individuals. The unresolved question is, what if anything can be done about it? One proposal that has gained recent momentum is the destruction or suppression of official records of an individual’s criminal justice involvement. Popular across the political spectrum, the concepts of “expungement” and “sealing” has drawn the attention of state legislatures, who are extending eligibility criteria and the scope of records subject to suppression or destruction, and legal aid providers, who are dedicating more of their scarce resources to record-clearing. But does record-clearing work? Can it serve effectively as the final stage of successful reentry by reducing housing insecurity, employment insecurity, and thus recidivism? There is reason for hope, but there is also reason for doubt. All this leads to two questions: First, does expungement or sealing cause stabilization of housing and employment with concomitant reductions in recidivism? Second, should oversubscribed legal services providers dedicate their scarce resources to meeting the vast demand for assistance in record-clearing under state law? This study proposes to answer both of those questions with a two-site randomized control trial (“RCT”) analyzing both expungement and sealing as potential useful reentry tools. In the analysis of expungement, individuals eligible for expungement under state law will be randomized to different levels of service (self-help materials or attorney representation) from oversubscribed legal services providers. In the analysis of sealing (applicable only under the law of one site), individuals eligible for automatic sealing will be randomized into receiving notification of impending sealing or no notification. We anticipate expungement outcomes will differ based on service level. We similarly anticipate that individuals will be more motivated to improve their employment and housing outcomes when reminded of the automatic sealing of their criminal record. This allows us to deploy an instrumental variables design to infer the effect of expungement and sealing on recidivism, housing stability and employment. If the expungement or sealing remedies are successful tools in a reentry strategy, then the present momentum toward greater access to these tools should continue. We propose a seven-year timeline which includes eighteen months of enrollment and randomization of eligible participants and five years of follow up to determine recidivism, housing and employment outcomes. Our sites in this RCT will be Western Pennsylvania and the state of Kansas. Sealing is only available under Pennsylvania law and thus will be the only site involved in the sealing portion of the study. Our partners will be Kansas Legal Services (Kansas) and Neighborhood Legal Services Association, the University of Pittsburgh School of Law, and Duquesne University School of Law (Pennsylvania).

Abstract

The local efficiency of lamellar shaped Cu(In,Ga)Se2 solar cells has been investigated using scanning near‐field optical microscopy (SNOM). Topographic and photocurrent measurements have been performed simultaneously with a 100 nm tip aperture. The lamellar shaped solar cell with monolithic interconnects (P scribe) has been investigated on a nanometre scale for the first time at different regions using SNOM. It was found that, the cell region between P1 and P2 significantly contributes to the solar cells overall photocurrent generation. The photocurrent produced depends locally on the sample topography and it is concluded that it is mainly due to roughness changes of the ZnO:Al/i‐ZnO top electrode. Regions lying under large grains of ZnO produce significantly less current than regions under small granules. The observed photocurrent features were allocated primarily to the ZnO:Al/i‐ZnO top electrode. They were found to be independent of the wavelength of the light used (532 nm and 633 nm).

Abstract

33rd European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 1127-1132, The influence of a KF-treatment of Cu(In,Ga)Se2 absorbers alone, without the influence of an excessive Se atmosphere and Na from the glass substrate has been studied. K-induced surface modifications differed for varying [K]/([In]+[Se]) (KIS) concentration ratios with a low KIS (0.74) absorber having a K-alloyed CIGSe surface growth and a high KIS (2.16) absorber having a mixed K-alloyed CIGSe and K-In-Se containing small spherical islands growth leading to devices with enhanced efficiencies as compared to the untreated absorber, while a medium KIS (1.73) absorber also having a mixed surface species led to a device with a decreased efficiency than the other two KF-treated absorbers.

Abstract

31st European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 1114-1117, The effect of Al incorporation into the ITO/i-ZnO seed layer (i-ZnO-SL)/ZnO-nanorods (ZnO-NRs) stack applied as electrode in organic solar cells is investigated. ZnO-NRs were prepared by electrochemical deposition in the presence of an Al-precursor with varied concentrations onto ITO substrates covered with a sputtered intrinsic ZnO seed layer. In a second step, the i-ZnO-SL was replaced by a sputtered ZnO:Al seed layer (ZnO:Al-SL). The effect of Al incorporation into both ZnO(Al)-NRs and ZnO:Al-SLs is tested on solar cells with a C60/ZnPc:C60 active layer stack on top of nanostructures. With increasing the Al-precursor concentration in the electrochemical bath, beside the growth of ZnO-NRs, an additional formation of ZnO(Al)-“nanosheets” is detected. Lower shunt resistances of photovoltaic devices with nanosheets were observed pointing to creation of shunting pathways. Thus, the presence of nanosheets resulted in solar cell devices with reduced PV parameters compared to Al-free prepared ZnO-NRs. In contrast to i-ZnO-SLs, ZnO:Al-SLs clearly improve the device performance demonstrating the potential of the ITO/ZnO:Al-SL/ZnO(Al)-nanostructure stack as highly structured electrode.

Abstract

La Espectroscopía de Impedancia Electroquímica (EIS, desus siglas en inglés) es una potente herramienta para elanálisis de sistemas metal-recubrimiento orgánico ya queproporciona información acerca del comportamiento delsistema estudiado tanto a nivel cualitativo como cuantitativo.A través del ajuste de los datos de impedancia obtenidosexperimentalmente a un circuito eléctrico equivalenteadecuado, se puede obtener información directamente relacionadacon la resistencia y durabilidad del recubrimientoanalizado. Para el análisis paramétrico de estos datosse han venido empleando tradicionalmente algoritmos deregresión no lineal que presentan el inconveniente de quepara una correcta estimación se han de proporcionar parámetrosde partida que favorezcan una rápida y buenaconvergencia en este proceso de ajuste. Como métodoalternativo a estos algoritmos, en este artículo se planteael uso de algoritmos evolutivos (más concretamente algoritmosde evolución diferencial), como estrategia para labúsqueda de los parámetros del circuito que permitan realizareste ajuste. Para testear y validar el procedimiento quese propone, se emplea software comercial de uso habitual(ZSimpWin). Los resultados obtenidos muestran un mejorgrado de ajuste en la totalidad de los casos estudiados.

Abstract

29th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 1439-1443, Since 2007 a German consortium of academic and industrial partners develops an extremely light and flexible Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGSe) thin film solar cell technology for space applications. The combination with a light support structure and an appropriate interconnection technology enables the construction of a solar generator with previously unmatched specific power (W/kg). This can be attractive as power supply for large platforms in space and is also compatible with alternative, flexible large area applications. The idea of the project is to utilize a solar cell technology, which - in comparison to the highly efficient, multi-junction III-V technology - is cheap and can be fabricated using manufacturing facilities for the terrestrial technology. Project activities encompass topics as fundamental as CIGSe thin film growth, individual aspects of single device components and also device interconnection, together with a corresponding support structure development. So far a maximum efficiency of 12.6% (57.8 cm²; AM1.5) could be demonstrated on an in-line roll-to-roll fabricated single device and a support structure prototype with a projected area density

Abstract

The Double Chooz experiment has determined the value of the neutrino oscillation parameter $��_{13}$ from an analysis of inverse beta decay interactions with neutron capture on hydrogen. This analysis uses a three times larger fiducial volume than the standard Double Chooz assessment, which is restricted to a region doped with gadolinium (Gd), yielding an exposure of 113.1 GW-ton-years. The data sample used in this analysis is distinct from that of the Gd analysis, and the systematic uncertainties are also largely independent, with some exceptions, such as the reactor neutrino flux prediction. A combined rate- and energy-dependent fit finds $\sin^2 2��_{13}=0.097\pm 0.034(stat.) \pm 0.034 (syst.)$, excluding the no-oscillation hypothesis at 2.0 ��. This result is consistent with previous measurements of $\sin^2 2��_{13}$., 6 pages, 2 figures; published version

Abstract

7 pages, 3 figures, see paper for full list of authors; The Double Chooz experiment presents an indication of reactor electron antineutrino disappearance consistent with neutrino oscillations. An observed-to-predicted ratio of events of 0.944±0.016(stat)±0.040(syst) was obtained in 101 days of running at the Chooz nuclear power plant in France, with two 4.25GWth reactors. The results were obtained from a single 10m3 fiducial volume detector located 1050 m from the two reactor cores. The reactor antineutrino flux prediction used the Bugey4 flux measurement after correction for differences in core composition. The deficit can be interpreted as an indication of a nonzero value of the still unmeasured neutrino mixing parameter sin⁡22θ13. Analyzing both the rate of the prompt positrons and their energy spectrum, we find sin⁡22θ13=0.086±0.041(stat)±0.030(syst), or, at 90% C.L., 0.017

Abstract

7 pages, 3 figures, see paper for full list of authors; The Double Chooz experiment presents an indication of reactor electron antineutrino disappearance consistent with neutrino oscillations. An observed-to-predicted ratio of events of 0.944±0.016(stat)±0.040(syst) was obtained in 101 days of running at the Chooz nuclear power plant in France, with two 4.25GWth reactors. The results were obtained from a single 10m3 fiducial volume detector located 1050 m from the two reactor cores. The reactor antineutrino flux prediction used the Bugey4 flux measurement after correction for differences in core composition. The deficit can be interpreted as an indication of a nonzero value of the still unmeasured neutrino mixing parameter sin⁡22θ13. Analyzing both the rate of the prompt positrons and their energy spectrum, we find sin⁡22θ13=0.086±0.041(stat)±0.030(syst), or, at 90% C.L., 0.017

Abstract

27th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 2945-2947, An ITO/PEDOT:PSS (poly(3,4-ethylendioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate)) electrode is widely used as anode in organic solar cells (OSCs). Aluminium doped zinc oxide (ZnO:Al) is presented as a possible substitution for ITO in such anodes. Containing only abundant elements, ZnO:Al serves as cost effective alternative to the indium requiring ITO. To optimize the surface work function of the ZnO:Al/ PEDOT:PSS anode the pH value of the PEDOT:PSS dispersion is modified. In this work 2-dimethylaminoethanol (DMAE) is used for the pH-modification of the PEDOT:PSS dispersion. PEDOT:PSS dispersions modified by different DMAE concentrations were applied to both ITO and ZnO:Al films. The surface work functions of the prepared electrode stacks were determined by ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS) and related to the corresponding pH value. Additionally, we investigated the influence of the modified PEDOT:PSS layers on the photovoltaic properties in ZnPc:C60 based organic solar cells using ITO as well as ZnO:Al as TCO. By analysis of the solar cell performance of ZnO:Al based devices we identified a range of the DMAE concentrations showing the highest device efficiency. In this range we observed a solar cell performance similar to that of solar cells with ITO as TCO. Comparison of the open circuit voltage and the surface work function shows that a minimum work function of ~ 4.7 eV is necessary to form a charge selective contact at the anode/absorber interface.

Abstract

The Double Chooz experiment has observed 8,249 candidate electron antineutrino events in 227.93 live days with 33.71 GW-ton-years (reactor power x detector mass x livetime) exposure using a 10.3 cubic meter fiducial volume detector located at 1050 m from the reactor cores of the Chooz nuclear power plant in France. The expectation in case of theta13 = 0 is 8,937 events. The deficit is interpreted as evidence of electron antineutrino disappearance. From a rate plus spectral shape analysis we find sin^2 2{\theta}13 = 0.109 \pm 0.030(stat) \pm 0.025(syst). The data exclude the no-oscillation hypothesis at 99.8% CL (2.9{\sigma})., Comment: Modified for PRD referees

Abstract

The Double Chooz Experiment presents an indication of reactor electron antineutrino disappearance consistent with neutrino oscillations. A ratio of 0.944 $\pm$ 0.016 (stat) $\pm$ 0.040 (syst) observed to predicted events was obtained in 101 days of running at the Chooz Nuclear Power Plant in France, with two 4.25 GW$_{th}$ reactors. The results were obtained from a single 10 m$^3$ fiducial volume detector located 1050 m from the two reactor cores. The reactor antineutrino flux prediction used the Bugey4 measurement as an anchor point. The deficit can be interpreted as an indication of a non-zero value of the still unmeasured neutrino mixing parameter \sang. Analyzing both the rate of the prompt positrons and their energy spectrum we find \sang = 0.086 $\pm$ 0.041 (stat) $\pm$ 0.030 (syst), or, at 90% CL, 0.015 $, Comment: 7 pages, 4 figures, (new version after PRL referee's comments)

Galvan, B., Salazar, D., Greiner, D., and Mendez, M.

Abstract

En el presente trabajo se describen las metodologías necesarias para realizar la optimización desde criterios, tanto económicos como de confiabilidad, de sistemas industriales complejos. Se utiliza como ejemplo ilustrativo la optimización conjunta del diseño y la estrategia de man-tenimiento de un sistema de seguridad de una central nuclear. Las metodologías que se des-criben son los Métodos Evolutivos de Optimización Global y los Árboles de Fallas con alter-nativas de diseño. Se describe también como es la relación entre ambas metodologías para que sean capaces de trabajar conjuntamente en un proceso de búsqueda de soluciones óptimas ba-sado en ordenador. Se incluye una selección de bibliografía que permita al lector interesado ampliar estudios y especializarse en la materia, la cual ha sido realizada atendiendo a dos fac-tores: Lo importante y Lo Novedoso. Se concluye que ya es posible hoy en día abordar indus-trialmente problemas como el tratado dada la madurez y eficiencia alcanzada por los resulta-dos de las investigaciones realizadas, así como que las universidades y centros docentes son ahora claves para la transmisión a las empresas de los conocimientos metodológicos y colabo-rar con las empresas en las aplicaciones prácticas de interés.

Abstract

24th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference, 21-25 September 2009, Hamburg, Germany; 2924-2927, In the standard configuration of chalcopyrite based thin film solar modules a thin (50 – 200 nm) undoped ZnO film is situated in between the CdS buffer and the highly doped ZnO transparent front contact. This film is commonly referred to as i-ZnO. Conflicting views on the function of the i-ZnO in a chalcopyrite cell or module can be found in literature. However, deposition of the layer adds to complexity and production costs, in particular because cycle times need to be minimised in large-scale production. It is therefore mandatory to justify deposition of the i-ZnO film in terms of efficiency, reproducibility (production yield) and long-term module stability. In this contribution we report on our findings concerning the undoped ZnO and its preparation method for CuInS2-based modules. Key parameters such as the thickness of the layer have been varied and the effect on the performance of monolithically integrated module test structures and their stability in damp heat tests has been quantified. We generally find that the damp heat stability of the test structures is influenced more significantly than the as-grown efficiency.

Abstract

Objective: An increased number of drugs used by patients enhances the risk of potentially hazardous drug interactions. So far, no representative data are available about how common this problem is in German general practices. Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis using a prescription database for a German region. The 50 general practitioners (out of 1,457) who wrote the most prescriptions during January to March 2003 were included. Data on 4,153 patients who were prescribed at least 10 drugs were analyzed for 92 predefined Drug Combinations Prone to Interact (DCPI) to a clinically relevant extent and possible contraindications. Results: From 92 DCPIs, 71 occurred in the analyzed population between 1 and 275 times. The total number of DCPI cases was 1,295, which included 10% (n = 129) of contraindicated combinations. Among 4,153 analyzed patients, 822 patients (19.8%) were affected by at least 1 DCPI. In 268 patients (6.5%), multiple DCPIs occurred. The most frequently found drug pairs were digitalis/diuretics, digitalis/calcium channel blockers, and theophylline/quinoloncs. Among contraindicated combinations, tricyclic antidepressants, St. John's wort and antiarrhythmic drugs were most frequently involved. In about 1/3 of patients treated for chronic heart failure, pharmacotherapy appeared not to be guideline-adherent. Conclusion: Drug interactions, especially in polypharmacotherapy, represent a potential hazard which must be taken into account by the prescribing physician. Our study is the first to use a prescription database for the evaluation of drug prescriptions within a German region.
