TL;DR: In this article, an acid pretreatment of a Pb metal foil followed by dipping into polysulfide solution provides a counter electrode which improves the short circuit current, open circuit voltage, and fill factor compared to commonly used Pt electrodes.
Abstract: We show that a significant improvement of the light to electric power conversion efficiency of quantum dot sensitized solar cells with a polysulfide electrolyte can be achieved when a PbS counter electrode is used. An acid pretreatment of a Pb metal foil followed by dipping into polysulfide solution provides a counter electrode which improves the short circuit current, open circuit voltage, and fill factor compared to commonly used Pt electrodes. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy reveals a low charge transfer resistance between polysulfide and PbS, indicating the high catalytic activity of PbS. Moreover, a comparison with reported charge transfer resistance values at open circuit potential for alternative counter electrodes for polysulfide shows that PbS is the most catalytic of all. For a CdSe quantum dot sensitized mesoporous TiO2 electrode, we achieved a conversion efficiency of 3% using PbS as a counter electrode.

19 May 2008TL;DR: An optimal polynomial-time algorithm is offered for finding the probability p such that the minimal probability of penetration detection throughout the perimeter is maximized.
Abstract: This paper considers the problem of multi-robot patrol around a closed area with the existence of an adversary attempting to penetrate into the area. In case the adversary knows the patrol scheme of the robots and the robots use a deterministic patrol algorithm, then in many cases it is possible to penetrate with probability 1. Therefore this paper considers a non-deterministic patrol scheme for the robots, such that their movement is characterized by a probability p. This patrol scheme allows reducing the probability of penetration, even under an assumption of a strong opponent that knows the patrol scheme. We offer an optimal polynomial-time algorithm for finding the probability p such that the minimal probability of penetration detection throughout the perimeter is maximized. We describe three robotic motion models, defined by the movement characteristics of the robots. The algorithm described herein is suitable for all three models.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived the distribution function of occupation times in a bounded region of space, which, in the ergodic phase recovers the Boltzmann-Gibbs theory, while in the nonergodic phase yields a generalized non-ergodic statistical law.
Abstract: The continuous-time random walk (CTRW) model exhibits a nonergodic phase when the average waiting time diverges. Using an analytical approach for the nonbiased and the uniformly biased CTRWs, and numerical simulations for the CTRW in a potential field, we obtain the nonergodic properties of the random walk which show strong deviations from Boltzmann-Gibbs theory. We derive the distribution function of occupation times in a bounded region of space which, in the ergodic phase recovers the Boltzmann-Gibbs theory, while in the nonergodic phase yields a generalized nonergodic statistical law.

TL;DR: The author suggests that the personality of the net user is, for the most part, ignored by Internet designers who decide the future development of the Internet, and the only way to redress this balance is through a cooperative effort by Internet designer and psychologists working in the field of personality.
