Under continuous human disturbance, regeneration is the basis for biodiversity persistence and ecosystem service provision. In tropical dry forests, edaphic ecosystem engineering by biological soil crusts (biocrusts) could ...

This thesis examines carrier lifetime instabilities in oxygen-rich boron-doped p-type Czochralski-grown silicon (Cz-Si) with the focus on the permanent deactivation of the boron-oxygen (BO)-related defect center leading ...

In the regeneration process of complex capital goods, the definite workload is uncertain until the goods are disassembled and inspected. Due to the uncertainty and long repair lead times, regeneration service providers ...

Regeneration comprises the maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) of complex capital goods such as jet engines, wind turbines and stationary gas turbines. Service providers of such regeneration processes face many challenges, ...

In this contribution, we focus on improving the fundamental understanding of the carrier lifetime degradation and regeneration observed in block-cast multicrystalline silicon (mc-Si) wafers under illumination at elevated ...
