Nowadays, solar power generation has gradually become a part of electric energy sharing. How to effectively enhance the energy conversion efficiency of solar cells and components has gradually emerged as a focal point of research. This paper presents a boosted atomic search optimization (ASO) with a new anti-sine-cosine mechanism (ASCASO) to realize the parameter estimation of photovoltaic (PV) models. The anti-sine-cosine mechanism is inspired by the update principle of sine cosine algorithm (SCA) and the mutation strategy of linear population size reduction adaptive differential evolution (LSHADE). The working principle of anti-sine-cosine mechanism is to utilize two mutation formulas containing arcsine and arccosine functions to further update the position of atoms. The introduction of anti-sine-cosine mechanism achieves the populations' random handover and promotes the neighbors' information communication. For better evaluation, the proposed ASCASO is devoted to estimate parameters of three PV models of R.T.C France, one Photowat-PWP201 PV module model, and two commercial polycrystalline PV panels including STM6-40/36 and STM6-120/36 with monocrystalline cells. The proposed ASCASO is compared with nine reported comparative algorithms to assess the performance. The results of parameter estimation for different PV models of various methods demonstrate that ASCASO performs more accurately and reliably than other reported comparative methods. Thus, ASCASO can be considered a highly effective approach for accurately estimating the parameters of PV models., (© 2023.

In right congenital diaphragmatic hernia (RCDH), several clinical diagnostic pitfalls are possible and should be known to those caring for infants and children with this disorder. The records of the 18 patients at Hotel Dieu de France Hospital with a history of CDH between 1990 and 1999 were collected; those of the ten who had a RCDH were reviewed retrospectively. The mean age at diagnosis was 6 months; the male-to-female ratio was 2:3. The delay between the first symptom and the diagnosis ranged between 0 and 10.5 months (mean 4.5 months). An acute presentation was observed in four cases, consisting of respiratory distress in three; the 4th presented with gastric volvulus and intestinal obstruction. The presenting symptoms were mild in four cases; recurrent respiratory infections in three and failure to thrive in one. The diagnosis was incidental in two cases during the evaluation of respiratory symptoms attributed to an atrial septal defect. The radiologic findings provided by a chest radiograph (CxR) were sufficient to make an accurate diagnosis in eight cases and peritoneography was useful in one. In six cases, the presenting CxR had been misinterpreted as normal or acute lobar pneumonia. Pathologic findings at surgery consisted of lateral and posterior right diaphragmatic defects in nine cases; the defect was lateral and anterior in one. A hernia sac was found in seven cases; malrotation was present in three. Surgical correction was done by an abdominal approach in nine cases and a thoracic approach in one. The diaphragmatic defect was repaired by transverse closure in six cases, diaphragm plication in three and prosthetic closure in one. The postoperative outcome was uneventful in eight cases. Two patients died. Thus, RCDH seems to cause less severe symptoms than left-sided LCDH. It usually manifests beyond the neonatal period as respiratory or gastrointestinal symptoms. The diagnosis should be made easily by a CxR. The presence of a hernia sac correlated with a mild presentation. An abdominal surgical approach is preferred. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
