Spray pyrolysis of CuIn(S,Se)2 solar cells with 5.9% efficiency : a method to prevent Mo oxidation in ambient atmosphere by Ho, John C. W., Zhang, Tianliang, Lee, Kian Keat, Wong, Lydia H., Tok, Alfred Iing Yoong, Batabyal, Sudip Kumar

“…In this paper, Mo oxidation was prevented by using excess sulfur in the precursor solution under a gradual heating and spray process. A thin precursor layer was initially deposited as a barrier layer to prevent oxygen adsorption on Mo surface before the temperature was increased further to form polycrystalline CuInS2. …”

Mechanical and hygrothermal analysis of 3D printed carbon fibre reinforced plastics by Das, Shomir

“…A hygrothermal study is also done in this project in order to evaluate if the specimens; and by extension the Onyx material, are affected by the addition of heat and moisture. Specimens were printed at a different angle to previous reports in order to evaluate if this new printing angle is more suited for the composite. 16 specimens were printed in total for this project, with 12 for bending test and 4 for tensile tests. …”

Socially constructed or physiologically informed? Placing humans at the core of understanding cooling needs by Mazzone, A, Khosla, R

“…We integrate these perspectives with insights from psychology and neuro-architecture to discuss the influence of space in the perceptions of thermal comfort beyond heat-exchange. We navigate the different studies reviewed from a variety of fields within the social science and humanities and argue that cooling needs and preferences are grounded in both cultural and corporeal perceptions, and are the result of individual subjective experience of external stimuli within the body, culture, space, and society. …”
