TLDR
In this paper, composite solar cells of improved efficiency comprise two cells of different characteristics arranged in optical series but electrically insulated from each other, each cell is of larger crystal grain size than its substrate, which grain size is achieved by growing the cell semiconductor on a molten intermediate rheotaxy layer of a suitable semi-conductor which solidifies at a temperature below the melting temperature of the solar cell.Abstract:
Composite solar cells of improved efficiency comprise two cells of different characteristics arranged in optical series but electrically insulated from each other. Preferably, each cell is of larger crystal grain size than its substrate, which grain size is achieved by growing the cell semi-conductor on a molten intermediate rheotaxy layer of a suitable semi-conductor which solidifies at a temperature below the melting temperature of the solar cell semi-conductor. The substrate and the intermediate rheotaxy layer of the overlying cell are transparent to that fraction of sunlight which is utilized by the underlying cell. Various configurations of overlying and underlying cells are disclosed.read more

Social Status and Health in Humans and Other Animals
TL;DR: It is argued that socioeconomic status (SES) is the nearest human approximation to social rank and that SES dramatically influences health, as well as the varieties of hierarchical systems in animals.

Health literacy: addressing the health and education divide
TL;DR: A health literacy index could become an important composite measure of the outcome of health promotion and prevention activities, could document the health competence and capabilities of the population of a given country, community or group and relate it to a set of health, social and economic outcomes.

Evaluating Health Promotion—Progress, Problems and solutions
TL;DR: The article concludes that the four key challenges to the evaluation of health promotion are 1) using research evidence more systematically while planning activities 2) improving the definition and measurement of outcome 3) adopting an appropriate evaluation intensity and 4) adopting a appropriate evaluation design.
