The Dire Wraiths, a sub-species of Skrulls warped by their dark magic, lived 'peacefully' for an unknown amount of time on a world hidden in the extremely dangerous Dark Nebula, apparently somewhere in the Andromeda Galaxy. But one day more than 200 years ago, an exploratory ship from the human planet Galador entered the Nebula, and was attacked by the Wraiths and slaughtered without cause. The male Wraith population overruled the usually dominant female portion, and left the Nebula to assault Galador itself. The Galadorians fought back, sacrificing their humanity to become cyborg Spaceknights, who drove the Wraiths back and then scattered them to the stars. Where the Wraiths went, they infiltrated other planets and brought death; and where the Wraiths went, the Spaceknights followed them. The last of the Wraiths were hunted down to earth by the greatest Spaceknight Rom, who, with the help of the X-Men, the Avengers and many normal humans, killed the Wraiths or banished them to the dimensional prison of Limbo, and banished their homeworld as well.
But rumors circulated that the Wraiths' queen survived the Spaceknights' genocide of her species, and travelled across the universe plotting her vengeance and constantly changing disguises. That queen is Volx, who may well be the mother of the entire Wraith species, and who made her way across galaxies to earth, to revenge herself on the entire human species for her childrens' deaths. Her history and nature, as well as her true relationship to the rest of the Wraith species, remains unknown.
BTS - Volx makes her way to Xandar, an artificial biosphere planet that her children's destroyer Rom once aided in repelling a Skrull invasion.
(Nova II#17) - Volx ambushes Reban, a pilot of a Xandarian ship on its way to earth, and assumes his identity, jettisoning the remains of his body into space, and assures his co-pilot Kanan that everything is allright.
(Nova II#18 (FB) ) - The Xandarian battlecruiser piloted by Kanan and Volx-as-Reban departs Xandar for earth, with Rich Rider, formerly Nova I, and his replacement Garthan Saal as passengers. While Saal deposits the ship's cargo of surveillance spheres in Mars' vicinity, Kanan runs a Class One scan on the ship, and discovers an anomaly in the cabin. To distract him Volx throws the ship out of control, and the two engage in a firefight using energy weapons, leaving Kanan disintegrated. The ship crashes on earth, but both the remaining passengers survive thanks to Reban's piloting skills, exercised by Volx. Rider, assuming Volx is a Skrull, arms himself and is amazed when Volx morphs up out of the ground. He's saved from Volx's tongue when Saal arrives, but Volx gets away when Rider accidently shoots Saal instead. Saal digs a scanner device out of the shipwreck and heads after her.
BTS - Saal tracks Volx down, but she knocks him unconscious, and brings him to a Dire Wraith-built complex hidden in Yosemite National Park.
(New Warriors I#60) - Saal awakens inside a 'nucleic pump,' as the living power-source of the Magnetic Oscillator, a machine designed to cause a slight tremor in earth's magnetic field, a polarity-shift that would kill most life on earth. Including, Volx (impersonating a humanoid) explains, her children who built it. "Not very good planners, those boys... can you blame me for replacing them with the girls?" When the New Warriors track Saal's energy signature, Volx shapeshifts a spacesuit around her human disguise, so that when Alex Power uses his density power to enter the complex she tricks him into thinking there's a poisonous gas leak long enough to contain him in an airtight capture bubble. When the other Warriors break in, Volx mimics a control console, but Turbo's Spaceknight-charged visor sees through her disguise. Volx realizes that Turbo wears the Torpedo armor, the prototype created for her sons as the ultimate battle armor, and tries to acquire it, but is attacked by Garthan Saal. Rich Rider, formerly Nova, turns some belt-guns Volx's human disguise was wearing on the machinery, and the entire complex explodes. The Warriors and Saal believe Volx dead, but a lump of grassland shifts into a deer with glowing eyes, and escapes.
Volx in the Torpedo armor BTS - Volx kills and replaces Jacqueline Zanca, City Editor of the San Francisco Observer, and begins researching the New Warriors and the Torpedo armor.)
(New Warriors I#64) - After several weeks of research, Volx-as-Zanca reassigns a reporter named Walter to the story behind the explosion in Yosemite. He protests, as his articles about Garthan Saal's taking up residence in 'frisco as the new Nova have been selling papers. She quickly decides that the 'story' would be better served ub her hands, and tongue-spikes Walter and assumed his identity.
BTS - Volx tracks the Torpedo armor through its owner Brock Jones, aka Torpedo II, through to his cousins the Jeffries family, and deduces that Michael Jeffries must have found the armor. She adopts the form of Brock's son Dan Jones, though whether she kills him or not is unclear.)
(New Warriors I#73) - Volx as Dan Jones arrived at the Jeffries' family residence in Glen Cove, Long Island, and after startling the younger daughter Maggie, is directed inside to Mike, aka Turbo. 'Dan' explains who 'he' is, and how he traced him.
(New Warriors I#74 (fb) ) - Volx tongue-spiked Mike and absorbed his identity.
(New Warriors I#73) - As Mike, Volx calls the headquarters of the Warriors, and tells Mickey Musashi/Turbo I about Dan Jones, and tells her that he'll meet her there. When he does, he finds the other Warriors assembled, and is made to tell them the story of how 'he' found the Torpedo armor in his attic, and gave it to Mickey to wear as a halloween costume. Volx-as-Mike convinces the Warriors to let him wear the Torpedo suit while he goes to get Dan Jones, and Volx reshapes the armor and reveals her true form!
(New Warriors I#74) - Volx shrugs off the attacking Warriors, explaining Mickey just what she did to Mike. Volx then blows a hole in the wall, and uses the armor to interface with Friday, the Warriors' Kymellian Smartship, who she takes control over and uses to make her escape, evading pursuit with the ship's cloaking device. Garthan Saal observes her escape from his orbiting battlecruiser, and brings the Warriors aboard to formulate plans to fight her. Volx seizes Forge's Neoneutralizer, a giant-sized version of Rom's Wraith-banishing weapon used to send her homeworld to Limbo, from a military base. The Warriors realize that she hopes to power it with the Torpedo armor, and irradiate the entire planet with it from orbit, neutralizing every superhuman on earth.
BTS - While the Warriors search for her, Volx mounts the Neoneutralizer Friday's hull, and uses the Smartship's databanks and Kymellian technology to partially reconstruct Rom's neutralizer, with which to power it.
Volx goes down on the Silver Surfer (New Warriors I#75) - To distract Volx while he searches for a method of alerting the Xandarian ships, Friday urges Volx to halt her plans. The Battlecruise fires on the cloaked Friday, who crashes in Greenland. When the Warriors attack Volx she scrambles their powers using the Torpedo armor, and sets the Neoneutralizer to overload, hoping to rid the earth of superhumans that way. Rich Rider engages her, and is about to die at her hands (tongue) when Kymaera, Night Thrasher and Rage arrive, and attack Volx. The three were alerted to the battle by the Mad Thinker who calculated that earth had little chance of survival without their assistance. Garthan Saal throws himself at Volx and sucks out much of the armor's power, sacrificing himself and passing his powers back to Rider, who leads the renued attack on Volx, just as the Neoneutralizer overloads. The area is bathed in power-dampening energies, but due to Timeslip's tampering with it for hours in a time-warping field, the blast only affects the superhumans present, not the entire earth. Volx crawls towards Timeslip to get revenge for having her plans thwarted, but Night Thrasher plunges his forearm blade into Volx's head, and she died, dissolving to ashes.
(Annihilators#3/1 (fb) - BTS) - Volx returned to Wraithworld, which was held in Limbo. Her drive to free her race drove her mad and she took on an offer from "Dr. Dredd" (actually the Skrull Klobok in disguise) to free them. With his aid, Volx took on the form of one of the Galadorian queen's retinue to manipulate the Galadorian queen.
(Annihilators#2/1) - Klobok used his reality-cutting power to rip the Wraith's Black Sun from the Dark Nebula, allowing the Dire Wraiths to return. Volx appeared in the Galadorian Queen's chambers as the assembled Annihilators sought to stop the Wraith incursion; Volx blasted her opponents back.
(Annihilators#3/1) - Volx attacked the Silver Surfer, spearing the Surfer's forehead with her tongue spike, but was unable to destroy the surfer, instead revealing Volx's past actions and motivations to him. The feedback incapacitated Volx. Shackled, Volx was transported with the Annihilators into Limbo and Wraithworld, who used he psychic link with other Wraiths as a guide. Once there, Volx tried to rally her fellow Dire Wraiths, but they rejected her. At that point, Immortus' legions attacked, dominated by Tempus, who were drawn by the Annihilators' presence.
(Annihilators#4/1) - Silver Surfer persuaded the other Annihilators to defend the Dire Wraiths and Ikon protected Volx. Immortus stopped the attack after speaking with Quasar and the Annihilators returned to Galador where Wraithworld was shunted into harmonious orbit with the Spaceknights' planet. However, Klobok was there and bound Volx and other Dire Wraiths, using his sorcery and the Dire Wraiths' mutual genetic heritage with Skrulls to transform them into Skrulls. The Annihilators retaliation distracted Klobok sufficiently that Volx was able to spear the Skrull with her spike tongue and unraveling Klobok's spell. The two were drawn into the disintegrating energies of the spell.
Powers / Abilities
Volx possessed the Dire Wraiths' enhanced version of the Skrull's shape-shifting—she could quickly transform her body to mimic other living creatures, and even mimic the ground beneath someone's feet. Like the other Wraiths, she could bolster her humanoid disguises by sucking out the brains of her victims through her barbed, razor-sharp tongue, giving her their memories and allowing her to simulate their personalities.
Volx could wield mystical abilities like the rest of her species, but when the rest of her people lost their powers in the destruction of Wraithworld she presumably did too. However, once restored outside Limbo, her magic was able to repel the powerful blasts of the Annihilators. She seemed even better with technology than her children, who certainly couldn't have recreated Rom's neutralizer, and was more crafty and a better strategist as well. She had a psychic link with other Dire Wraiths. Her body was larger than other Dire Wraiths with additional spiked fingers and tentacles.

The patch I am submitting allows modules to edit data after a > handler has finished with it. This is basically Greg's approach. I'll detail my approach here, as your patch has some pieces, but it is quite different. All of this is obviously IMO... *) we definitely want multiple output filters. each filter is recorded in a linked list in the request_rec. *) a filter has a name and is implemented by a module. this mapping is set up similarly to handler maps in the 'module' structure. *) output from normal modules is identical to today. they use ap_rputs, ap_rwrite, etc. Filtering occurs under the covers. *) Apache defines ap_lwrite(ap_layer *next_layer, const void *buf, size_t len, request_rec *r) and possibly some similar ones for printf, puts, etc *) struct ap_layer_s { const char *layer_name; layer_func_t *func; struct ap_layer_s *next; } /* filters implement function with this type: */ typedef ap_status_t (*layer_func_t)(ap_layer *next_layer, const void *buf, size_t len, request_rec *r); /* ### dunno about that return type */ /* looks remarkably similar to ap_lwrite(), eh? */ *) ap_status_t ap_lwrite(ap_layer *layer, const void *buf, size_t len, request_rec *r) { if (layer == NULL) { ap_bwrite(r->connection->client, buf, len, &amt); return OK; } return (*layer->func)(layer->next, buf, len, r); } *) a new Apache directive can detail the sequence of filters and install them into the request_rec. *) ap_rwrite() and friends calls ap_lwrite(r->first_layer, ...). this will perform actual output filtering, or go off to the BUFF stuff. *) a new hook is added: install_filters. it is called right before invoke_handlers and is responsible for setting r->first_layer and/or elements along the list. *) a new, small module can implement a directive which responds to install_filters and sets up a sequence of filters based on their names. for example: SetFilters PHP SSI *) content handlers (e.g. during invoke_handler processing) have a new function to call: ap_set_content_type(r, const char *type). when the type is changed, such as during CGI processing, this function is called and an opportunity (somehow? haven't thought on this part) is provided for new output layers to be inserted. [ this provides for a CGI output'ing application/x-httpd-php3 ] ap_set_content_type() should probably know where it is during the request processing so that it can be used any time. maybe it should be allowed to set up layers at any time? That's it. :-) Helper functions to set up a pipe and a sub-thread would be handy. That would allow some modules to keep their "read from an fd" approach, rather than switching to a stateful parser approach. As Dean stated before, output filtering is necessarily asynchronous: a sub thread or a state machine thingy is required. [ flipping things around, you could say that the initial content can be generated asynchronously (where the first filter demands the next chunk of output). this would be incredibly difficult for things like mod_autoindex. at some point, somebody is pulling content and shoving it down the BUFF. the above form is "everybody shoves content" ] Cheers, -g -- Greg Stein, http://www.lyra.org/

I've just spent the last few days in Melbourne with L&D peeps at LearnX and OzLearn chat and there's a clear theme that I've picked up on through the time here; L&D people need to upskill to meet the demands of the modern environment. This is in no way a knock on the skills or attitudes of the many good people who work in learning and development or people and performance or any other name for assisting with the learning function of organisations, but it should act to serve as notice that in order to effectively lead and manage learning functions in today's world our L&D managers need to embrace learning technologies like never before.
Now you'd think this was maybe just me speaking as a clear advocate for learning technologies and, well, yes in someways it is, but the fact remains that there are still severe shortages in the workplace of those with an understanding of what's out there and how it can benefit their people. You wouldn't catch it any other part of learning would you? Can you imagine an L&D type person saying 'I don't do evaluations, I just don't believe in it' or 'putting objectives on things just ruins it' or how about 'I don't believe in face to face sessions'? Of course not, our job in L&D is to make use of the right tool for the job, make sure we engage with sound instructional design and use everything in our toolset to help people learn and develop. So if you don't do learning technologies, or you don't want to get involved in elearning let alone social learning or heaven's forbid a MOOC (whatever that may be); then you're probably not offering the best you can to your people in L&D.
Don't get me wrong here, there's a time and a place and I'm not suggesting that elearning replaces everything for your or any organisation (unless it really is the best tool), but you can't ignore it all together. Anyone who thinks that elearning is just a phase and is going away is as deluded as anyone who believes that face to face training is finished. Sometimes nothing will do but having a facilitator, trainer or educator actually there with a group of people to enable the learning, but sometimes that's not only unnecessary but the wrong thing altogether. eLearning often makes its way into organisations because of the efficiencies it can present. That doesn't mean its not the most effective tool either, these are not mutually exclusive events.
I also don't think that if you're an L&D manager or advisor you must automatically be the world's greatest elearning provider or technical guru. I don't think it's realistic for everyone to go from no skill in the area to being a guru overnight, but you should be taking an interest in the area and gaining some experience along the way. The Australian market is more mature than the New Zealand market (but both are immature compared to the UK and much of Europe, let alone the US) but in both those countries I've come across numerous L&D people who know as little about elearning as they do about nuclear physics (yeah, those of you who've read some of my earlier blogs now know about my past…). I can understand an organisation still not having any elearning - it's expensive business to get into and you have to look closely at the benefits and ROI before embarking in that direction; particularly if you're a small organisation. But for the L&D function to not even have looked at the options and what's available is far harder to understand.
Not only is this a challenge to those in that boat (if they've read this far) but it's also an offer to help. I'm going to put some resources together for everyone to look at and also start bring in other areas off the web so that there can be no excuses moving forward. On top of that contact me directly and I promise I'll help where I can. You can contact me via my LinkedIn profile (see the about me) or Twitter handle or email if you need more or engage me on any of the social media tools that form part of my daily work.
We're coming in to land now (yes, in flight blog again) so I've got to pack away the computer, but without wanting to sound too corny, it's time for your learning to really take-off and make the most of the technologically accelerating world that we're living in.

An Awesome doctor for a horrible condition
Dr. Haws has been taking care of my son even before he was born! He met with me shortly after we found out that he had PKD while I was pregnant and has been taking great care for him ever since. He is a doctor who truly cares about his patients and only wants the best for them. He takes time to call the parents and talk to them rather than having the nurse do it, which don't get me wrong his nurse is awesome, but hearing it straight from the doctor is better. He has a way of calming people down and making things ok. He is and awesome doctor and highly, highly recommended!!!!

Simply the best!
Dr. Haws is the most dedicated, professional and caring doctor I have ever had the pleasure to know. He is down to earth, easy to talk to and truly cares about his patients. I trust Dr. Haws and know that what he recommends for his patients is weighed in sound medical evidence. Bob is different as a physician in that what he wants for your child is what he would do for his own and that level of trustworthiness sets him apart from his colleagues. Dr. Haws will make sure you understand, on your terms, your childs diagnosis, needs and all you can do to help your child live his/her most healthy life. Choosing Bob Haws puts you and your child in good hands.

Much of the buzz around Nebraska's 2013 class has been focused on New Zealand guard Tai Webster, who averaged 13.5 points per game in the 2012 FIBA World Olympic Qualifying Tournament for his national team.
But FOX Sports NEXT national recruiting analyst Brian Snow points to another player in the Huskers' class who could surprise in a big way. He pointed it out in a recent article featuring five players across the country that could surprise folks.
"In the Big Ten Nebraska has a lot of catching up to do to get to the top of the league, and they are hoping the 2013 class helps them get there. One big piece to the puzzle that they signed is Nick Fuller. The native of Wisconsin is someone who can really shoot the ball on the wing, but he also has the ability to take his man to the rim off the drive.
Fuller has more athleticism than most give him credit for and is just an extremely tough kid. Also he has done battle against many of the top wings in the country, and usually has held his own. He could definitely be one of those under the radar type players who has a very good career and helps Nebraska make strides within the Big Ten."
Fuller averaged nearly 25 points per game for Sun Prairie high school in Wisconsin during his senior year. He ended up the nation's No. 25 small forward in the 2013 class.

GOODBYE HELLO NEIGHBOR!! HORRIBLE Alpha 3 UPDATE? GLUE SMASHING + KEY Gameplay! (FGTEEV Part 7)
We waited this whole past week to play this! We woke up nice and early to prepare for the update at 10am EST but then it was delayed... FINALLY, we downloaded, so excited to play it and BOOM, we were hit with a bunch of whack game mechanics! It's such a shame, we love, love, love Alpha 2 so much!! Alpha 3 reminds us of a Pre-Pre Alpha. The neighbor seems to NEVER move around but stays in one area, we had so many fails trying to do things because he teleports everywhere and is not realistic, he sees you all the time, there's no hiding, when you do hide he stays around and NEARBY forever! He doesn't nap or wander, we can't even nap so it stays NIGHTTIME! Who wants a game all at night! WE MISS THE DAY! It's so dark, it literally made Duddy feel like he was going to have a heart attack from all the stress this game caused today, for that reason we will NEVER ever play ALPHA 3 AGAIN, unless there was some sort of another update to fix the bad parts of this newly updated for the worse game. Anyways, we managed to get the key and go to the 2nd floor and then even the 3rd floor but it's still not as fun and Chase agrees. So sad! Well, hope you enjoy the gameplay! For better gameplays and us having fun, watch Episodes 1-6, they are 100 times better!

Tyrannosaurus Chicken
"Artist of the Year:Tyrannosaurus Chicken AR Times 2011 But of all the thrilling features of the band, it's truly amazing how they can effortlessly balance between such oppositional forces.

Dr. Muriel Ubel was a Manticoran research biologist.
She worked as a scientist for BioNeering on the planet Sphinx. One of her projects attempted to understand the nature of the mechanism by which picket wood trees dissolved the cellulose in the branches connecting them to diseased trees. Her work produced a substance which resulted in an ecological disaster near the facility when accidentally released.
To prevent knowledge of the problem from getting out, she sabotaged an aircar, killing her research assistant and two pilots, one of whom, Arvin Erhardt, was bonded to a treecat. She intended to escape, leaving Sphinx for Mesa and to sell her development to the highest bidder. When Dr. Scott MacDallan discovered what she was doing, she attempted to murder him, but MacDallen's and Erhardt's treecats intervened; the latter jumped in front of her rifle and was killed, distracting her, shifting her aim just enough to allow MacDallan to shoot her instead, all just before his treecat killed her.

The Amazon Original Series Transparent debuted on Friday, and much like the show's pilot, there was plenty of nudity, everywhere you looked!
Hit the jump for more pics and info...... read more
It's been an unseasonably cold winter here at the Skin Central offices in Chicago. Fortunately the boob tube is in the middle of a skintense heat wave that could warm up the chilliest of climes!
Let's start off with everyone's favorite crime-thriller, Banshee, which last week brought us a spectacular self-spelunking scene from Lili Simmons and this week debuted Trieste Kelly Dunn nude for the first time! Some Sheriffs have all the luck!
True Detective couldn't possibly beat last week's full frontal sextravaganza provided by Alexandria Daddario, but this episode's stiff-nipped look at Michelle Monaghan is sure to please nonetheless.
Finally, the ever-reliable Girls brought us Lena Dunham hopping out of bed and getting dressed for work. Works for us! Elsewhere in this episode, guest star Gaby Hoffman goes cartwheeling around a graveyard in an XXL Mickey Mouse shirt and no bra. Keep up the good work, Gaby!

It's pretty early in 2014 to call this week the peak of the year, but as far as must-see TV, lust-see TV, we've definitely hit a high note!
The second episode of HBO's True Detective delivered everything we hoped for from Alexandra Daddario's nude debut. Playing Woody Harrelson's fling in the detective series, Alexandra shows up and strips down, baring all 3 B's in a couple of amazing scenes.
The second episode of Banshee reached great nude heights as well, with hot-bodied blonde babe Lili Simmons beating around her bush at the beginning of the episode. Plus, nudecomer Baby Norman hanging out topless in a hot tub!
Shameless also had some nudecomer skin, with the copiously curvaceous Taylor Cardace showing off her super-sized swingers and plump rump in an enthusiastic sex scene.
Girls had Gaby Hoffman offering up her massive muff for the first time since her full frontal debut in Crystal Fairy (2013).
Bitten continued to employ body doubles for the shy butt of Laura Vandervoort, but we're just glad changing into a werewolf still requires you to take your clothes off.
Finally, Starz debuted its new pirate series, Black Sails, and immediately had Jessica Parker Kennedy's treasure chest onscreen for some girl-on-girl action with Hannah New. Now that's how you get to full mast!

Netflix has released a feast of flesh just in time for the Spanksgiving holiday including several servings of full frontal from Gaby Hoffman! The former child star went from zero to sexy in her nude debut for Crystal Fairy (2013) playing a free-spirited (i.e. naked) world traveler.
Next up there's model mams from Charlize Theron in The Burning Plain (2009), and Emma Glover bare as the body double for Michelle Williams in My Week with Marilyn (2011). Leonor Watling won't leave you waitling for a glimpse of her T&A in The Oxford Murders (2008), and Emmanuelle Seigner shows off her top floor for In the House (2012). Finally Tilda Swinton shows absolutely EVERYTHING including close-ups of her redhead rug in the arthouse flick I Am Love (2009).

If you are going to see the non-nude blockbusters Grown Ups 2 or Pacific Rim this weekend, be sure to check the SKINtastic un-dress-umes of stars Salma Hayek, Maria Bello, and Rinko Kikuchi before hand!
The real release action is coming from former child star Gaby Hoffman, who makes her nude debut in Crystal Fairy (2013) with a fantastic full frontal flash! Plus, you can see "found footage" funbags from Mindy Robinson and Hannah Hughes in the sequel V/H/S 2 (2013).

Our Skin Skout is at the Sundance Film Festival this week, and he reports that former child star Gaby Hoffmann makes her nude debut in the indie flick Crystal Fairy! Gaby is best known for playing the little girl in Uncle Buck, and Kevin Costner's daughter in Field of Dreams, but now she's following in the skintastic footsteps of her notable mother, Warhol Superstar Susan "Viva" Hoffman.

This is a nice looking flash drive. it is small but I think it may not be that durable. I received it right on time and was in very good condition. The price was very good. I am not very satisfied with its durability though. It seems that I'll break this in few months. But a good product for the price.

The coherent propagation of four optical pulses through a multilevel resonant medium is investigated theoretically. We present a self-consistent analytic solution without steady-state or adiabatic approximations and use numerical simulations to indicate that the analytic formulas can be used as a guide in an experimental setting.

University of Texas at Arlington, Department of Electrical Engineering, P.O. Box 19016, Arlington, Texas 76019
We theoretically explain and experimentally demonstrate light trapping in thin-film solar cells through guided-mode resonance (GMR) effects. Resonant field enhancement and propagation path elongation lead to enhanced solar absorption. We fabricate nanopatterned solar cells containing embedded 300-nm period, one-dimensional gratings. The grating pattern is fabricated on a glass substrate using laser interference lithography followed by a transparent conducting oxide coating as a top contact. A ∼320-nm thick p-i-n hydrogenated amorphous silicon solar cell is deposited over the patterned substrate followed by bottom contact deposition. We measure optical and electrical properties of the resonant solar cells. Compared to a planar reference solar cell, around 35% integrated absorption enhancement is observed over the 450 to 750-nm wavelength range. This light-management method results in enhanced short-circuit current density of 14.8 mA/cm2, which is a ∼40% improvement over planar solar cells. Our experimental demonstration proves the potential of simple and well-designed GMR features in thin-film solar cells.
Thin-film solar cell technology offers benefits of low-cost material usage and processing relative to currently dominant crystalline silicon solar cells. In contrast to classic thick, wafer-based silicon cells, the higher absorption coefficients of materials used in thin-film photovoltaics allow for a film thickness of hundreds of nanometers to micrometers. The quality of material can be relatively poor since the charge carriers only travel a distance on the order of the film thickness. However, the low-energy photons suffer from short optical paths that ultimately cause low spectral uptake in the cells near the material's bandedge.1–3 Consequently, efficient light-trapping mechanisms are necessary to obtain comparable performance from thin-film solar cells.
By incorporating properly designed photonic nanostructures, incoming sunlight can be trapped inside the absorbing layer while reducing loss caused by reflection and scattering. With a highly concentrated field, a thin absorbing layer sufficiently absorbs most of the solar spectrum. This allows further reduction of the absorbing layer thickness and ensures minimal usage of materials and better collection efficiency for low-quality materials. Numerous studies have been conducted to improve light-capture and collection efficiency of thin absorbing layers. The application of diffractive optics,4–6 random texturing,7,8 antireflective layers,9,10 plasmonics,11–13 photonic crystals,14–16 guided-mode excitation,6,17,18 and three-dimensional structures like nanowire, nanodome, and nanocone solar cells19–21 shows distinguished improvements in solar absorption. Though each mechanism contributes to the manipulation of optical path lengths inside the films, the most efficient light-harvesting scheme is yet to be convincingly identified. Using numerical simulation tools, it is possible to design microdomain or nanodomain photonic structures showing enhanced absorption and photocurrents. However, from a practical point of view, application of such features into solar cells has to be technologically and economically feasible.
Here, we report guided-mode resonance (GMR) effects in waveguide-grating structures for enhanced optical absorption. We experimentally demonstrate the application of simple designs of one-dimensional (1-D) nanograting patterns into thin-film hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) solar cells. With these particular operative effects, the periodic spatial pattern couples the input sunlight into a collection of waveguide modes associated with thin wave-guiding films that resonate in the cell and concentrate the light in the active layer. Thereby, the photon interaction path is elongated within the silicon film, which helps particularly to harvest the low-energy photons. We describe the fabrication processes and present experimental results that comply with our theoretical analysis.
A subwavelength periodic pattern and a waveguide layer over a substrate constitute a generic GMR element, as shown in Fig. 1(a), with characteristic parameters, period Λ, grating depth dg, waveguide layer thickness dwg, fill factor F, incident beam I, reflected beam R, and transmitted beam T. At resonance, an incident light beam couples to leaky waveguide modes through the grating structure. An efficient energy exchange occurs between the reflected and transmitted waves, resulting in sharp peaks in the diffraction efficiency spectrum of the resonant waveguide grating.22–24
(a) Schematic view of a guided-mode resonance (GMR) element featuring period Λ, grating depth dg, waveguide thickness dwg, and fill factor F. (b) Schematic GMR coupling at resonance according to the model provided by Rosenblatt et al.25
The grating couples the incident wave into the resonant waveguide-grating structure. A resonance occurs when one of the diffracted waves generated by the grating element phase matches to a leaky waveguide mode admitted by the waveguide structure, as schematically depicted in Fig. 1(b). At the phase-matching condition, the effective mode propagation constant βi, corresponding to the i'th order evanescent diffracted wave, is given by24Display Formula
Depending on the device parameters, operating wavelength, and incident angle, there can be a single resonance or multiple resonances. Using powerful electromagnetic design methods, the spectral bands of these resonant leaky-mode elements can be engineered for various photonic device applications. For example, it has already been shown that a single periodic layer with 1-D periodicity enables narrow line filters, polarizers, reflectors, and polarization-independent elements.26–28 An example of spectral response of a single-resonance device is shown in Fig. 2. For the computations, we use a computer code based on rigorous coupled-wave analysis (RCWA),29 which is a proficient algorithm to evaluate diffraction efficiency of periodic structures as further discussed in 30. In our numerical simulations, we use 11 harmonics and we verify good convergence by test simulations using 21 harmonics. For a simple waveguide-grating structure28 with Λ=280 nm, dg=55 nm, dwg=110 nm, F=0.5, nwg=nH=2.02, nc=nL=1, and ns=1.5, a complete energy exchange occurs between transmitted and reflected waves and a sharp resonance reflectance peak occurs at the 487-nm wavelength when illuminated with normally incident transverse electric (TE: electric field vector being orthogonal to the plane of incidence) polarized light. On the contrary, a homogeneous layer with an effective refractive index of the grating layer does not exhibit such spectral signature, as evidenced by dashed lines in Fig. 2.
GMR spectral response of a waveguide-grating structure with Λ=280 nm, dg=55 nm, dwg=110 nm, F=0.5, nwg=nH=2.02, nc=nL=1, and ns=1.5. The GMR occurs at the 487-nm wavelength with transverse electric (TE) polarized normally incident light. The dashed line represents the reflectance of a corresponding homogeneous layer with the grating replaced by a simple layer with an effective refractive index.
However, the GMR effect is strongly sensitive to material loss. The presence of material loss (complex refractive index N=n+iκ, where κ is the extinction coefficient) diminishes the external signatures of the resonance. If κ=0.05 is considered in the previous example (nwg=nH=2.02+i0.05), the reflectance decreases significantly, as depicted in Fig. 3. The total internal electric field distributions of these elements for both lossless and lossy materials are shown as insets in Fig. 3. We observe that even though the reflectance decreases, the field distribution with loss maintains key features with lower field levels. This shows that the field-enhancement aspect of the GMR effect can be beneficial without the traditional external signatures being present. If we compare the absorbance with a planar reference, an enhancement ratio of around 2.3 is obtained at the resonance wavelength, as shown in Fig. 4.

The solid line represents the GMR effect for lossless material where nwg=nH=2.02, and the dashed line represents the reduced reflectance for lossy material where nwg=nH=2.02+i0.05. The total internal electric field distributions for both lossless and lossy materials at the resonance wavelength of 487 nm are shown as insets.
The solid line represents TE polarized absorbance spectra of a GMR structure with Λ=280 nm, dg=55 nm, dwg=110 nm, F=0.5, nc=nL=1, ns=1.5, and nwg=nH=2.02+i0.05. The dashed line represents the absorbance of a corresponding homogeneous layer with κ=0.05. The absorbance is 2.3 times greater for the GMR element at the resonance wavelength of 487 nm.
In this study, our interest lies in showing absorption enhancement in thin-film solar cells by applying the GMR effect. The grating layer, which is a phase-matching element, forces the incoming light into multiple resonances in the device, eventually increasing the probability of light absorption. A simple planar structure fails to offer such light confinement. Thus for efficient solar absorption, the GMR structure should support multiple resonances over the broadband solar spectrum. Designing the grating-pattern period to be smaller than the wavelengths in the solar spectrum (Λ<λ) allows the GMR structure to operate as multiple resonant devices. To demonstrate the multiresonant GMR spectral response, we consider a structure consisting of an a-Si:H grating and a waveguide layer over a glass substrate with Λ=350 nm, dg=50 nm, dwg=250 nm, and F=0.5. Hydrogenated a-Si has a complex dispersive refractive index, N(λ)=n(λ)+iκ(λ), capable of absorbing light up to the 750-nm wavelength corresponding to bandgap energy of 1.7 eV. The numerical value of N(λ) provided by Fontcuberta i Morral and Roca i Cabarrocas31 is given in Fig. 5.

Figure 6 shows the spectral responses of a multiresonant GMR structure with three different κ values. Plot 1 indicates lossless a-Si:H with κ=0, plot 2 indicates a constant κ=0.05, and plot 3 indicates the original dispersive κ(λ) over the spectrum, while n(λ) remains the same (as in Fig. 5) for all three plots. The observed resonance peaks originate from input light coupling to leaky-modes across the spectrum. We observe the reduction of reflection and subsequent enhancement of absorption with the increase of the κ value over the spectrum of 450- to 750-nm wavelengths.

Plot 1 represents the GMR effect for lossless material where κ=0, plot 2 represents the reduced reflectance for lossy material where κ=0.05, and plot 3 represents reflectance for lossy a-Si:H with the original dispersive κ(λ).
The total electric field patterns for the three different κ values (κ=0, κ=0.05, and κ=0.082) at the 651-nm resonance wavelength are shown in Fig. 7. The original value of κ at 651 nm is 0.082. The field pattern gradually decays with the increase of the κ value. Based on the simulation results, we intend to implement the photonic resonant structure into a real p-i-n thin-film a-Si:H solar cell to observe enhanced absorption through intensified field patterns and subsequent increased electrical efficiency. However, fabrication of resonant patterns into the active region of a planar solar cell requires sacrifice of materials and junction interruption, which will cause electrical performance degradation. Instead, we consider a superstrate cell configuration to incorporate the patterns into the active region as schematically shown in Fig. 8. We fabricate a nanopattern on a glass substrate, and the pattern is gradually transferred to the silicon region without interrupting the junctions. We consider a thin indium-tin-oxide (ITO) layer in between the glass and silicon as a top contact. To observe the GMR-induced absorbance enhancement exclusively, we conduct the optical characterization before the bottom contact is made.

We fabricate the 1-D nanograting patterns on a glass substrate; Fig. 9 summarizes the fabrication steps. First, a 1×1 in.2 glass substrate is cleaned with acetone, isopropanol, and deionized water and dried with blown nitrogen. Then an 80-nm bottom antireflection coating (BARC: DUV30J-6) is spin-coated over the glass substrate at 1200 rpm and baked for 60 s on a heating plate adjusted to 205°C. A 350-nm thick photoresist coating (PR: SEPR-701) is spin-coated at 1100 rpm and baked for 90 s at 110°C. A 1-D grating pattern with a 300-nm period is transferred into the PR by UV laser interferometric lithography using a laser with λ=266 nm. The purpose of using the BARC layer beneath the PR is to reduce the reflection from the glass substrate and ensure uniform pattern exposure over the PR. After developing the PR, the BARC is removed from the open area of the pattern by reactive ion etching (RIE) using oxygen plasma. The glass substrates are etched using an argon (Ar) and trifluromethane (CHF3) gas mixture. The remaining PR and BARC are removed by RIE using oxygen plasma. In a systematic experimental process, gratings with 50-, 60-, and 70-nm depths are fabricated on glass substrates. Here, we present the results obtained from solar cells with 60-nm grating depths since the results are similar to those obtained with 50- and 70-nm grating depths.
Schematic view of nanopatterned solar cell fabrication steps.
The patterned glass substrates are coated with a 140-nm thick film of ITO by sputtering. From the scanning electron microscope (SEM) images, we confirm that ITO film deposition over the 60-nm deep grating area conforms to the grating structures and serves well as the top contact. The ITO-coated glass substrates are annealed in a rapid thermal annealer in a vacuum chamber at 490°C for 15 min. The resistivity of the film is 50 Ω/sq. The average transmittance of the annealed ITO thin film is around 90% over the 450- to 750-nm wavelength range. Figure 10 shows the measured transmittance of the annealed ITO film. Using a multichambered plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition system, a complete p-i-n single-junction solar cell with an approximate thickness of 10-nm p-type, 290-nm i-type, and 20-nm n-type a-Si:H is deposited over the ITO pattern. Finally, consecutive sputter deposition of 130-nm thick ITO and 300-nm thick aluminum films constitutes the bottom contact. Thin-film solar cells on planar glass substrates are also deposited with identical film thicknesses for performance comparison. Recently, we have shown that using thermal nanoimprint lithography, the nanopatterns can be fabricated by single step on plexiglas substrate which offers cost-efficient large area fabrication of nanostructured thin-film solar cells.32

The surface image of the ITO-coated oxide grating with a grating depth of 60 nm, taken with an atomic force microscope, is shown in Fig. 11. The grating specifications are Λ=304 nm, dg=60 nm, and F=0.5. Figure 12 includes images from an SEM; Figs. 12(a) and 12(b) show cross-sectional images of the ITO-coated glass pattern and Fig. 12(c) shows the top view. The cross-sectional images of the complete patterned solar cell, including top and bottom contacts, are presented in Figs. 12(d) and 12(e). Figure 12(f) displays a photograph of the patterned solar cell.

Regarding the superstrate structure of the solar cell, Fig. 8 illustrates that light is shone from the glass side of the structure at normal incidence. We obtain optical absorbance measurements before the bottom contacts are made in order to ascertain GMR-induced absorption enhancement exclusively. The reflected and transmitted light associated with the patterned a-Si:H solar cells are measured with a fiber optic spectrometer. The light source used is a tungsten halogen lamp with a wavelength range of 360 to 2400 nm. We conduct the same measurements on a corresponding planar solar cell to establish a comparison. Since the grating pattern has a 300-nm period and the refractive index of glass is 1.5, the Rayleigh wavelength of the patterned structure is λR=nΛ=450 nm, i.e., only the zero-order diffraction prevails beyond the 450-nm wavelength. The primary reason for selecting a 300-nm period is to operate the solar cells in a zero-order diffraction regime for a substantial portion of the solar spectrum. Since no higher diffraction orders exist beyond the 450-nm wavelength, it suffices as a good approximation to measure the reflectance and transmittance for normally incident light without using an integrating sphere. We measure zero-order reflectance (R0) and transmittance (T0) spectra normalized to the source spectrum and the absorbance is obtained as A=1−(R0+T0) for λ>450 nm. The measurement setup is schematically shown in Fig. 13.
Schematic view of the optical measurement setup.
Figure 14 shows the comparison of unpolarized absorbance between the patterned and planar solar cells. Integrated absorbance enhancement of ∼35% is obtained in patterned solar cells with 60-nm deep grating depths over the wavelength range of 450 to 750 nm. Figure 15 shows the unpolarized reflectance comparison between planar and patterned cells. The reflectance is significantly suppressed in patterned solar cells. Designing the period to be smaller than the operating wavelength permits the antireflection effect to contribute to the enhanced optical absorbance. Due to this interdependency, it is difficult to differentiate the impact from the GMR effect.6 However, the absorption coefficient of a-Si:H weakens beyond 550 nm. The propagation distance of the captured light along the weakly absorbing film, i.e., the decay length of the resonant leaky mode, must be much longer than the film thickness to achieve successful absorption in the long wavelength region. Thus, the GMR effect can ensure such optical path elongation through multiple resonances. Figure 16 shows the TE and transverse magnetic (TM) components of the total absorbance of the patterned solar cell, where the electric field vectors in TE and TM polarizations are orthogonal and parallel to the plane of incidence, respectively. As described in the previous section, the spectral signature diminishes with a higher extinction coefficient. Therefore, the individual GMR peaks are not visible over the entire wavelength range. In the long wavelength region, where the absorption coefficient is low, distinguishable GMR resonances are visible at 716 nm for TM polarization and at 675 and 723 nm for TE polarization.

The absorbance of the patterned solar cell is theoretically calculated using the RCWA computational method. The simulated and experimental absorbance comparisons for a 60-nm deep patterned solar cell are shown in Fig. 17. There are two possible reasons for the discrepancy. First, the dispersion data of a-Si:H used for simulation is not measured from the fabricated device, rather taken from literature.31 Second, the fabricated pattern does not completely follow the sharp binary pattern as schematically shown in Fig. 8. According to simulation, the integrated absorbance enhancement factor is ∼32% for patterned solar cell compared to a homogeneous reference, over the 450- to 750-nm wavelength range.
Theoretical and experimental comparisons of unpolarized absorbance of patterned solar cell with dg=60 nm at normal incidence of light.
Solar cell efficiency measurement is carried out under AM1.5G illumination. The current density (J) versus voltage (V) plots for the patterned and planar solar cells are given in Fig. 18. Open-circuit voltage (Voc), short-circuit current density (Jsc), fill factor (FF), and conversion efficiency (η) for the patterned and planar solar cells obtained from J–V plots are summarized in Table 1.
Current density/voltage plot of planar and patterned solar cells.
Short-circuit current density improves by ∼40% from 10.5 to 14.8 mA/cm2 for patterned solar cells with dg=60 nm, compared to the planar cell. Each cell has an effective area of approximately 0.1 cm2. Open-circuit voltage is 0.82 V for both types of solar cells. The power conversion efficiencies of the planar and patterned solar cells are measured as 2.6% and 4.1%, respectively, with ∼57% enhancement. The fabricated solar cells exhibit rather low FFs, which is the main reason for the low conversion efficiencies obtained. FFs for the planar and patterned cells are 3 and 3.3, respectively. By enhancing the contact resistivity, a-Si:H material, and p-i-n interface quality, the FF and subsequently the efficiency of these solar cells can be improved. The higher optical absorbance obtained through GMR resonances in patterned solar cells compared to the planar reference cell are reflected in the enhanced electrical performance. The experimental results motivate the application of nanograting patterns in thin-film photovoltaics.
We explain light trapping in thin-film solar cells through GMRs with numerical examples and experimentally implement nanograting patterns into a-Si:H solar cells with 300-nm periods and 60-nm grating depths. Theoretically simulated GMR-enabled enhanced optical absorption is experimentally observed in fabricated patterned solar cells, which leads to improved electrical performance. For the particular device design used, integrated absorbance enhancement of ∼35% over the 450- to 750-nm wavelength range and short-circuit current density enhancement of ∼40% are found in a 60-nm deep nanograting patterned solar cell compared to an equivalent planar reference cell. GMR phenomena strongly depend on dispersion properties and thickness of the absorbing photovoltaic materials. Enhanced optical absorbance leading to an increased conversion efficiency holds the same potential for micro-crystalline and organic thin-film solar cells with optimal structural and material device parameters.

Gag me with a spoon. Instead of newspeak, 1984 showed us valley girls and Michael Jackson, Michael Jordan and an Apple Computer. 1984 didn't exactly go how Orwell predicted, did it? Big brother wasn't watching from the telescreen. Newspeak wasn't the language spoken. Oceania doesn't exist. Censorship was nowhere near the extremeness read about in the book. The totalitarian government didn't exactly take over the world…For those of us sports fans who haven't read a book since 1984, we are on a sports website after all so I won't bore you with talk about "b-o-o-k-s."
1984, however, did bring lots to the world. A surprisingly-not-so-complex-compared-what-we-have-now Apple Computer went on sale. A young phenom by the name of Michael Jordan made his NBA debut. A skinny red headed Mark McGwire entered the MLB. The Cold War was still a threat. Gas prices were a shocking $1.11 a gallon. The second Indiana Jones movie was still a baby and first seen in 1984, and people only paid $2.50 to see it. People would rush home to watch the scandalously exciting "Dynasty" and Michael Jackson's "Thriller" was the number one song heard on all of the radio stations and all over MTV (which, as I've learned in my research today, actually played…Music?)
All these are fun facts and everything, but here's what even more interesting for me and even more important for the baseball world: Brian McCann, Prince Fielder, Dustin Pedroia, Evan Longoria, Hanley Ramirez, BJ Upton, Nick Markakis, Tim Linecum, Felix Hernandez, Cole Hamels, Edinson Volquez, Joakim Soria and Huston Street all had not even experienced their first breath yet. 24 short years later, these young kids are among the games top performers.
Before I go any further, I'd like to discuss with you why I chose "Top Players Under 24". For all you romantics who were hoping there was some kind of cool fact about the number twenty four (you know, like two plus four equals six and 6 flipped upside down is 9 and there are nine players on a baseball team…) Despite all that being true, the reason was far more simple and although I hate to break your ever so tender hearts, it was simply that there wasn't enough qualified 23 year old players for the team. Plus, there were enough 24 year olds for me to pick from and adding 25 year olds meant more decisions…which I didn't want to make.
So, without much more ado, I'd like to introduce to you Baseballnerd423's All American, All Under 25, All Really Really Good Baseball Players Baseball Team!
Starting at catcher for Nerds Americans Really Really Good Baseball Player:
Brian McCann
Brian McCann (not to be confused with Conan O'Brien's sketch comedian) this Athens born baseball player (not to be confused with the Greek Athens named after Goddess Athena), has really stood out for the Braves since hitting a homerun in his second major league game back in 2005. Making friends with John Smoltz was a smart decision for the very young catcher, as he not only became the personal catcher for Smoltz but soon the Braves traded every day catcher Estrada to the D-Backs and McCann took over in 2006. He made sure to not disappoint the Braves as he hit 24 homeruns, batted .333 and drove in 93 as he won the Silver Slugger Award. 2007 was just as good as he put up similar numbers (.270/18/92) and this year he has continued the success for the Braves. He is batting .301 with 14 homeruns and 44 RBIs halfway into the season. He has made himself known as one of the top four catchers in the league (his last name, McCann, does help this considering the top three all have "M" last names as well) and he has loads of talent we will continue to see.
Prince Fielder
Before being known for the donuts on the bat (see above picture), he was known as the son of slugging baseball player Cecil Fielder. Then he became known as that 12 year old son of Cecil Fielder who just hit a homerun at Tiger Stadium. In 2002, his senior year in high school, he became known as the kid who hit the ball 580 feet (for those who care, the actual distance was 430 off of Aaron Cook). He soon became known for hitting an insane 50 homeruns coming from nowhere making him the youngest to ever do so at the ripe age of 23! He and his father also became the first father son duo to ever hit 50 homeruns in a season(take that Barry/Bobby Bonds and Ken Griffey Jr./Sr.!) He was the starting first basemen for the 2007 All Star Team, He has made himself known to everyone as one of the best pure hitters in the league and should be feared by all pitchers league wide and although he was first known because of his father, he is quickly moving away from his estranged dad as having his own identity. Oh and although he was allegedly named after singer "Prince", that shouldn't make you think less of him.
PS He's apparently a vegetarian! Who knew?
Dustin Pedroia
(I'll be honest with you. There are only two second basemen 24 and under. Jose Lopez and Dustin Pedroia. Dustin is on the Red Sox, so he got the nod from me. J In all seriousness though, Dustin is one helluva player and although I think Kinsler should have the All Star spot, Kinsler is too old for this team.) Barely making the cutoff for this team for he will be turning 25 in August, Pedroia has shown the world he too can be a top performing player for the Red Sox. In college, Pedroia and Kinsler shared a middle infield at Arizona State University. Standing at 4'9", Dustin is one of the games top defenders as his fielding percentage was an outstanding .990 in 2007. 2007 was his first year as the starting 2B for Boston, however he slumped early in the season as he batted only .172. However, a 13 game hit streak helped him raise his batting average to at one point .322. His fielding was shown at an exciting climax during Clay Bucholz's no hitter when he made an outstanding catch to save the no hitter. Dustin is the only player on this list who can say he has won a World Series, and he was a key part of the win with his leadoff homerun. He later won the Rookie of the Year Award. So far in 2008, he has played at an All Star (bench) caliber as he has hit .289 with eight stolen bases and 34 RBIs.
Evan Longoria
Evan Longoria (not to be confused with Eva Longoria…don't google his name instead) barely beat out Alex Gordon and Mark Reynolds for my starting third basemen for Nerds Americans Really Really Good Baseball Players. I hope he feels honored. Evan, a former Dirt Bag (Long Beach State Dirt Bags, that is) was always a standout ball player. He won the Cape Cod Player of the Year in 2005 and 2006 Big West Player of the Year. A very young Longoria was drafted third overall in 2006. Evan was an absolutely dominant force in the minor leagues and was soon called up from A to AA to AAA to the Majors in a few short months. In fact, it only took him eight days to go from A to AA. In 2007, Evan hit .307 with 20 homeruns for AA and soon was called up to AAA where he hit .269 with 5 homeruns in 30 games. 2008 has been a very nice success for Evan as he has hit 14 homeruns with a .261 average and 43 RBIs.
Hanley Ramirez
This guy, believe it or not (I chose not to) is only 24. However, he can already be considered the second best player in baseball next to A-Rod. The Dominican born athlete has shown that you can be a big short stop, and he has continued his dominance for all three MLB years now. From 2002-2005, he played for the minor league Red Sox and showed the Florida Marlins enough to trade Mike Lowell, Guillermo Mota and Josh Beckett to call Hanley a Marlin. He did nothing but make it worth their while as he won the NL Rookie of the Year Award right away, batting .292 with 17 homeruns, 51 stolen bases, and 11 triples and 46 doubles in his rookie season. He has a perfect mix of power and speed. 2007 was even better for the young star. His power was at a high, with 29 homeruns and 51 stolen bases for a SB and his averaged raised to .332. In 2008, he became the face of Florida and at the half way mark he hasn't let anyone down with the new contract. He is on pace for all time high as he already has 17 homeruns, 19 stolen bases and is batting .294.
This is part one of this series, because it was already 4 pages at SS. Part two will consist of OF and Pitching.
