Brancewicz, Junior Achievement of Greater New Orleans, Inc. Juli Pattison, Junior Achievement of Greater New Orleans Lillian Y. Fok, University of New Orleans ABSTRACT There were 1329 students from 22 schools participated in the JA BizTown program and 90 students from two schools were in the control group. Comparisons of the JA BizTown and control group were made in terms of increase in matched paired objective test (30 questions), increase in matched paired students’ attitude, overall pre-test and post-test scores, and overall pre-test and post-test attitudinal scores. The MANOVA results indicated that JA BizTown curriculum can dramatically increase the students’ knowledge

  • Effect of Solar-Terrestrial Phenomena on Solar Cell's Efficiency Abstract
    Effect of Solar-Terrestrial Phenomena on Solar Cell’s Efficiency * Kashif Bin Zaheer, ** Waseem Ahmad Ansari and ***Syed Mohammad Murshid Raza *Mathematical Sciences Research Centre Federal Urdu University of Arts, Sciences and Technology, Gulshan-e-Iqbal Campus, Karachi-75300 ([email protected]) ** Department of Mathematics University of Karachi, University Road, Karachi ([email protected]) *** Mathematical Sciences Research Centre Federal Urdu University of Arts, Sciences and Technology, Gulshan-e-Iqbal Campus, Karachi-75300 ([email protected]) Abstract It is assumed that the solar cell efficiency of PV device is closely related to the solar irradiance, considered the solar parameter Global Solar Irradiance (G) and the meteorological parameters like daily data of Earth Skin Temperature (E), Average Temperature (T), Relative Humidity (H) and Dew Frost Point (D), for the coastal city Karachi and a non-coastal city Jacobabad, K and J is used as a subscripts for parameters of Karachi and Jacobabad respectively. All variables used here are dependent on the location (latitude and longitude) of our stations except G. To employ ARIMA modeling, the first eighteen years data is used for modeling and forecast is done for the last five years data. In most cases results show good correlation among monthly actual and monthly forecasted values of all the predictors. Next, multiple linear regression is employed to the data obtained by ARIMA modeling and models for mean monthly observed G values are constructed. For each station, two equations are constructed the R2 values are above 93% for each model, showing adequacy of the fit. Our computations show that Solar cell efficiency can be increased if better modeling for meteorological predictors governs the process.
