Photovoltaic (PV) technology is fast emerging as a viable energy supply option in mitigation against environmental degradation through the burning of traditional fossil fuels.The cost of the technology, however, still poses a major challenge, as the efficiencies are generally still quite modest.Current research efforts to improve efficiency are mai
Recently, States of Low Energy (SLEs) have been proposed as viable vacuum states of primordial perturbations within Loop Quantum Cosmology (LQC).In this work we investigate the effect of the high curvature region of LQC on the definition of SLEs.Shifting the support of Ball - Shoes Rubber - Junior the test function that defines them away from this
