Analysis of measured high-resolution doublet rovibronic spectra and related line lists of CH and OH.

Detailed understanding of the energy-level structure of the quantum states as well as of the rovibronic spectra of the ethylidyne (CH) and the hydroxyl (OH) radicals is mandatory for a multitude of modelling efforts within multiple chemical, combustion, astrophysical, and atmospheric environments. Accurate empirical rovibronic energy levels, with associated uncertainties, are reported for the low-lying doublet electronic states of CH and OH, using the Measured Active Rotational-Vibrational Energy Levels (MARVEL) algorithm. For CH, a total of 1521 empirical energy levels are determined in the primary spectroscopic network (SN) of the radical, corresponding to the following seven electronic states: X Π, A Δ, B Σ, C Σ, D Π, E Σ, and F Σ.

Individualized Exercise Prescription for Athletes Using a Construct-Based Model.

Rehabilitation professionals prescribe exercise regularly with the goals of decreasing pain, increasing function, and returning athletes to competition. To maximize the effect of an exercise intervention, the program must be individualized and in context for the athlete considering biopsychosocial aspects of care. Current models of exercise prescription may not be ideal considering that less than 50% of injured athletes return to their pre-injury level.

Swift evaluation of electron density profiles obtained by the alkali beam emission spectroscopy technique using linearized reconstruction.

A method is presented for the swift reconstruction of electron density profiles measured by the alkali beam emission spectroscopy. It is based on the linearization of the governing rate equations and leads to a direct calculation for obtaining the profiles. The uncertainties of the measurement are incorporated into the problem through the utilization of Tikhonov regularization and the generalized least squares method.

Correlation between in Situ Diagnostics of the Hydrogen Plasma and the Interface Passivation Quality of Hydrogen Plasma Post-Treated a-Si:H in Silicon Heterojunction Solar Cells.

Passivation of the interface defect states is crucial to mitigate the recombination losses in silicon solar cells. In this work, we have investigated the role of hydrogen plasma treatment (HPT) to passivate the interfacial defects between crystalline (c-Si) and hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) in silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cells. For the first time, we have found a correlation between the dynamic properties of hydrogen plasma and passivation quality of the films by using in situ optical emission spectroscopy and quasi-steady state photoconductance measurement.

Micro-Faraday cup matrix detector for ion beam measurements in fusion plasmas.

Atomic beam probe is an extension of the routinely used beam emission spectroscopy diagnostic for the plasma edge current fluctuation measurement at magnetically confined plasmas. Beam atoms ionized by the plasma are directed to a curved trajectory by the magnetic field and may be detected close to the wall of the device. The arrival location and current distribution of the ions carry information about the plasma current distribution, the density profile, and the electric potential in the plasma edge.
