Alkali metal Na is beneficial to the performance of CuInGaSSe thin film solar cells. This work studies the addition and optimization of a sputtering SiO 2 barrier layer on the SLG to optimize the Na content that diffuses into the absorber layer from the SLG. The resulting Se content and...

Climate change poses a significant threat to the development of young children, but its impacts are not well known because of data and methodological limitations. Using a unique panel study in disadvantaged rural communities, we find that exposures to low temperatures undermine subsequent...

Despite extensive literature on peer effects, the role of peers on personality skill development remains poorly understood. We fill this gap by investigating the effects of having disadvantaged primary school peers, generated by random classroom assignment and parental migration for employment....

In this paper, we study the system of strong vector quasi-equilibrium problems without assuming that the dual of the ordering cone has a weak* compact base. We show the existence and essential components of solution set for system of strong vector quasi-equilibrium problems by defining the...

In this paper, we study minimax regret equilibria. First, existence theorem of minimax regret equilibria is proved. Further, the generic stability of minimax regret equilibria is studied. We show that the set of minimax regret equilibria for most of problems (in sense of Baire category) is a...

The converse comparison theorem has received much attention in the theory of backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs). However, no such theorem has been proved for anticipated BSDEs. In this paper, we derive a converse comparison theorem by first giving an existence and uniqueness...
