    On the way from solar cell to the solar module, the output efficiency decreases. For example when a multi-crystalline PV solar cells of 17.8% efficiency is used, the resulting efficiency of a module is around 15.9 to 16.3%. This decrease in efficiency is mainly because of three distinct losses listed below. 1. Optical losses generated by material reflectance and absorption 2.…

    Jonathan Desmond DCN Lab 5 Kali Kali is a live Linux distribution which can be put onto a USB and loaded directly onto a computer. Kali, having being bundled with a variety of testing tools such as Wireshark and Metasploit Framework, is utilized to assess the security of a target machine. The creator of Kali, Mati Aharoni first thought of the idea during a consultation which banned the use of external hardware as well as the stipulation that client computers could only be used if the data remained untouched. He then thought to use a live Linux distribution to assess the client’s security flaws.…

    b. When measuring the resistance value with the Avo 8, possible reasons for varience include a parallax error (not looking at the reading from directly above the meter), a reading error due to less divisions when measuring resistance, or the device not being properly zeroed. When measuring current, there are also fewer division, parallax is still a potential issue, and finally, incorrect zeroing of the meter. Voltage has an additional error, the loading of the meter itself. Alongside this issue, there is also parallax, zero, and accuracy/divisions.…

    I chose to change the inclination to a 75-degree angle for the third lab assignment. If I were a bird researcher studying a population of birds and the earth began to shift to a 75-degree inclination, the biggest change would be a rise in temperature at the latitude marked with the white “X”. At the original 35-degree inclination, the average temps for early spring are mild and as the months continue into summer; the average daily temperatures do not go above what is described as mild and a half. If a gradual shift began towards a 75-degree inclination, you would begin to see a rise in the temperatures for this region. In the early spring, you might still find mild temperatures but as the spring progresses into summer, the temperatures…

    The first objective of Lab 4 is to use structure activity relationships to predict the properties of an acid and the potency of hallucinogenic compounds. The overall goal of the laboratory is to examine quantitative structure activity relationships (QSAR) in a system that is either chemical or biochemical. The lab is divided into two parts; predicting the acidity of an organic acid, and predicting the hallucinogenicity of derivatives of mescaline. The materials of this lab for both part 1 and part 2 are small training sets, which are groups of similar chemicals with known biological activity, a computer to graph the data that is recorded in the tables, the internet resource MiLogP to generate LogP data, and computational programs that will…

    In this experiment, two cations in an unknown solution were found using qualitative analysis. For Part A, the solution was to contain either silver or lead, while in Part B, the solution that was set on the side form Part A was identified to contain either calcium or barium. Part C explored a different method through the use of cation flame tests to observe colored flames from six metal chloride solutions. In Part A, the initial step was to add HCl to the unknown sample.…

    There are eleven elements in this group and they can be found bordering the dividing line between metals and nonmetals. Metalloids typically have a metallic appearance, but are very brittle and are poor electrical conductors. Because they are so brittle metalloids are not usually used for structural uses but can form alloys with other metals. Chemically they act as nonmetals and most of their physical and chemical properties are intermediate in nature. Metalloids and their compounds are also used in electronics, glasses, semiconductors, and pyrotechnics.…
