Analysis of mismatch power loss and degradation in aged PV modules and arrays: Insights from an indoor experimental investigation by Islam, Md. Imamul, Al Mansur, Ahmed, Mohd Shawal, Jadin, Maruf, Md Hasan, Shihavuddin, Asm S.M.

“…Moreover, in the analysis of PV module degradation, Mono 1 was found to be the most degraded panel (0.344) among the four panels that were exposed outside for 10 years. These results emphasize the need to address irradiance and ageing in solar energy systems by stressing their negative impacts on power degradation and MML in PV modules and arrays.…”

Coseismic and postseismic slip of the 2005 Mw8.6 Nias‐Simeulue earthquake : spatial overlap and localized viscoelastic flow by Qiu, Qiang, Feng, Lujia, Hermawan, Iwan, Hill, Emma M.

“…We estimate the coseismic slip using near-field static GPS offsets, and vertical displacements based on satellite and coral data, while we estimate the afterslip simultaneously with viscoelastic flow using approximately nine years of GPS data following the event. With the current spatial resolution of our GPS network it is difficult to accurately resolve contributions from different postseismic mechanisms, that is, afterslip and viscoelastic relaxation from oceanic or continental mantle. …”
