بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

     الحمد لله العفو الغفور رب العالمين، والصلاة والسلام على المبعوث رحمة للعالمين ، وعلى آله الطاهرين ، وصحابته المنتجبين ، وعلى من اهتدى بهديه ، وأخذ بحكمته إلى يوم الدين.

     أما بعد : فإن ما يلفت النظر لأول مرة من شرح صدر الدين الشيرازي لكتاب (شرح الأصول من الكافي) أنه ليس تصنيف محدث إخبارى محض، و لا تصنيف فقيه اصولي انصرف بكليته إلى الفقه، ولا تصنيف كلامي، بحيث لا يعبأ الا بالكبت والاقناع، وإنما هو تصنيف فيلسوف إلهى مجدد فى الفلسفة ومجتهد بارع فى الحديث والفقه والكلام والتفسير، غير أنه شغفته الأبحاث الفلسفية والميتافيزيقية فخاض فى لججها و تلقيها عن تفكير قوى عليه مسحة دينية إسلامية من جهة الأصول والمبادى وجددها وصبها فى إطارات غير ما ألفته الأذهان سابقا، لكن ليس معنى هذا الكلام أنه بقى طول عمره فيلسوفاً لم يفرغ إلى أمر آخر، بل عبر من فلسفته حسب ما يراه لنفسه إلى الإيمان باللّه وكتبه ورسله وحججه وبيناته ، ومن أجل ذلك توجه إلى التدبر فى كتاب اللّه وأحاديث النبي (صلى الله عليه وآله) وأئمة الهدى (عليهم السلام) ، وبذل فيها جهده فصنف تفسيراً كبيراً على شطر من القرآن وشرحاً مسقصياً فلسفياً على أحاديث أصول الكافى إلى شطر من كتاب الأصول، وهو من أعظم شروح الكافى ، حيث قال الشيخ الشيرازي مادحا صاحب كتاب الكافي: " أمين الإسلام،  وثقة الأنام، الشيخ العالم الكامل، والمجتهد البارع، الفاضل محمّد بن يعقوب الكليني، أعلى اللَّه قدره، وأنار في سماء العلم بدره " [1].

     ومن خلال تتبع منهج الشيرازي في شرحه لكتاب الكافي نرى إنه تناول بحوثا حديثية كثيرة لكني اقتصرت على البحوث الرجالية عن رجال الأحاديث المذكورين فى أسانيد الكافى ،حتى لا يطول البحث، هذا ما دفعني إلى تسليط الضوء على هذه البحوث مشيراً إلى الصنعة الرجالية التي استخدمها الشيرازي في شرحه لإظهار الجانب الحديثي من هذا الشرح ، مما يميز مكانته العلمية الشاملة رحمه الله رحمة واسعة ، لذلك جعلته عنوانا لبحثي واسميته (الصنعة الحديثية عند الشيخ صدر المتألهين الشيرازي في كتابه شرح الأصول من الكافي للشيخ الكليني) ولم أجد حسب علمي بحثا في الموضوع، فهو بكرا في موضوعه .

Data Caching at Fog Nodes Under IoT Networks: Review of Machine Learning Approaches
Authors: Tapwal Riya , Gupta Nitin , Xin Qin
Published: April 2020

IoT devices (wireless sensors, actuators, computer devices) produce large volume and variety of data and the data

produced by the IoT devices are transient. In order to overcome the problem of traditional IoT architecture where

data is sent to the cloud for processing, an emerging technology known as fog computing is proposed recently.

Fog computing brings storage, computing and control near to the end devices. Fog computing complements the

cloud and provide services to the IoT devices. Hence, data used by the IoT devices must be cached at the fog nodes

in order to reduce the bandwidth utilization and latency. This chapter discusses the utility of data caching at the

fog nodes. Further, various machine learning techniques can be used to reduce the latency by caching the data

near to the IoT devices by predicting their future demands. Therefore, this chapter also discusses various machine

learning techniques that can be used to extract the accurate data and predict future requests of IoT devices.

Published: April 2020

Hierdie navorsing ondersoek die faktore wat die ontwikkeling van die Suid-Afrikaanse aandelemark (die Johannesburgse Aandelebeurs, JSE) aandryf, ten einde te bepaal of JSE-ontwikkeling oorwegend deur internasionale (globale) of plaaslike (nasionale) faktore aangedryf word. Vir hierdie doel word die ARDL grenstoets (“bounds test”) gebruik as empiriese raamwerk waarbinne die rol van verskeie makro-ekonomiese veranderlikes, geklassifi seer as òf plaaslik òf internasionaal, in die ontwikkeling van die JSE – soos benader deur die markkapitalisasiekoers – ondersoek word. Die navorsingsbevinding is dat plaaslike ekonomiese groei, banksektorontwikkeling en rentekoerse, asook die wisselkoers en handelsoopheid die vernaamste langtermyndrywers van JSE-ontwikkeling is. Dus speel sowel plaaslike as internasionale faktore ’n beduidende rol in die ontwikkeling van die JSE.

The study of fidelity measures in the context of using them as a threshold criterion in the allocation of diagnostic species
Authors: Goncharenko Igor , Senchylo Olexander
Published: April 2020

The paper is devoted to a comparative study of species fidelity measures from the viewpoint of using them as threshold criteria for distinguishing diagnostic species in the vegetation classification. The computational experiment was carried out on two test data sets on vegetation of the Dnieper floodplain in the forest-steppe zone of Ukraine (316 relevés) and forest vegetation of the city of Kyiv and suburbs (832 relevés). Classification of relevés was obtained using cluster analysis by the flexible-beta method on the Bray-Curtis distance matrix and the optimal number of clusters was determined using the Optimclass approach. In all fidelity calculations, classification of relevés has remained constant for comparability reasons. We compared the distribution properties of fidelity values using the most common fidelity indices, including phi-coefficient, IndVal, Ochiai index, chi-square statistic, Bruelheide's u, Fisher test, G-statistic, and TCR. Group-equalized and non-equalized modifications of fidelity indices were considered as separate measures. Each species was accounted in the cluster with the highest fidelity value. Such indicators were estimated as range and quartiles of values, evenness of distribution, variation of shares of diagnostic species with a variation of fidelity thresholds and vice versa, shares of species exceeding fidelity threshold in more than one cluster.

Published: April 2020

The ASO model provides a proposal for a new flight schedule, in situations when a carrier’s flight scheduled is disrupted, and which would minimize the negative effects of the disruption. The objective function of the model is a mathematical formulation of the company’s goals and preferences, where all assumptions and operational constraints must be satisfied. The disruption costs are given in weighted coefficients which present the penalties that can be changed by the dispatcher. One of the goals was to test to what degree the generated solutions are sensitive to changes in penalty values.

Romans are letters written by the Apostle Paul addressed to the church in Rome. One of the purposes of this letter is that in conveying love you have the correct method so that love can be done. The duty of believers is to convey love to those who have not done love like the Lord Jesus did. Problems to love can arise from a lack of understanding about love, understanding but not doing or starting to degrade the meaning of love in believers. Therefore this paper tries to remind again about the warmth of love for believers. In writing this scientific work the writer will explore how the meaning of life in love according to the Apostle Paul based on Romans 12: 9-21. To deepen the study of the writer uses the writing method which looks at the meaning of the right life in doing love especially in Romans 12: 9-21. So that this scientific work is easy to understand at the end, write a practical application in loving.
TINJAUAN TEOLOGIS KONSEP BANGSA ISRAEL TENTANG KEMATIAN

Published: April 2020

The concept of death is something that is often questioned by humans. Because no human being has been able to provide strong evidence of what happened after death. Therefore this question also needs to be answered in the light of the Christian faith. The rationale for discussing death is the Bible. But it must be realized that the Bible is also present in the cultural context and traditions of the nation of Israel. So to get the principle or meaning needed is also an assessment of the context and principle of death of the people of Israel. Theological review is needed so as not to get caught up in Judaism in understanding the concept of death. Therefore, through this paper will explain the theological review of the concept of the nation of Israel about death.

We report on the results of a search for serendipitous sources in CO emission in 110 cubes targeting CO(2 − 1), CO(3 − 2), and CO(6 − 5) at z ∼ 1–2 from the second Plateau de Bure High-z Blue Sequence Survey (PHIBSS2). The PHIBSS2 observations were part of a 4 yr legacy program at the IRAM Plateau de Bure Interferometer aimed at studying early galaxy evolution from the perspective of molecular gas reservoirs. We present a catalog of 67 candidate secondary sources from this search, with 45 of the 110 data cubes showing sources in addition to the primary target that appear to be field detections, unrelated to the central sources. This catalog includes redshifts, line widths, and fluxes, as well as an estimation of their reliability based on their false-positive probability. We perform a search in the 3D Hubble Space Telescope/CANDELS catalogs for the secondary CO detections and tentatively find that ∼64% of these have optical counterparts, which we use to constrain their redshifts. Finally, we use our catalog of candidate CO detections to derive the CO(2 − 1), CO(3 − 2), CO(4 − 3), CO(5 − 4), and CO(6 − 5) luminosity functions over a range of redshifts, as well as the molecular gas mass density evolution. Despite the different methodology, these results are in very good agreement with previous observational constraints derived from blind searches in deep fields. They provide an example of the type of “deep-field” science that can be carried out with targeted observations.

We present a catalog of 5290 RR Lyrae stars (RRLs) with metallicities estimated from spectra of the LAMOST Experiment for Galactic Understanding and Exploration (LEGUE) and the Sloan Extension for Galactic Understanding and Exploration (SEGUE) surveys. Nearly 70% of them (3642 objects) also have systemic radial velocities measured. Given the pulsating nature of RRLs, metallicity estimates are based on spectra of individual exposures that have been matched with their synthetic templates. The systemic radial velocities are measured by fitting the observed velocity as a function of phase assuming an empirical pulsating velocity template curve. Various tests show that our analyses yield metallicities with a typical precision of 0.20 dex and systemic radial velocities with uncertainties ranging from 5 to 21 km s−1 (depending on the number of radial-velocity measurements available for a given star). Based on the well-calibrated near-infrared PM

–[Fe/H] relations, precise distances are derived for these RRLs. Finally, we include Gaia DR2 proper motions in our catalog. The catalog should be very useful for various Galactic studies, especially of the Galactic halo.

We analyze data from the Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array (HERA). This is the third in a series of papers on the closure phase delay spectrum technique designed to detect the H i 21 cm emission from cosmic reionization. We present the details of the data and models employed in the power spectral analysis and discuss limitations to the process. We compare images and visibility spectra made with HERA data to parallel quantities generated from sky models based on the Galactic and Extra-Galactic All-Sky MWA (GLEAM) survey, incorporating the HERA telescope model. We find reasonable agreement between images made from HERA data with those generated from the models, down to the confusion level. For the visibility spectra, there is broad agreement between model and data across the full band of ∼80 MHz. However, models with only GLEAM sources do not reproduce a roughly sinusoidal spectral structure at the tens of percent level seen in the observed visibility spectra on scales of ∼10 MHz on 29 m baselines. We find that this structure is likely due to diffuse Galactic emission, predominantly the Galactic plane, filling the far sidelobes of the antenna primary beam. We show that our current knowledge of the frequency dependence of the diffuse sky radio emission, and the primary beam at large zenith angles, is inadequate to provide an accurate reproduction of the diffuse structure in the models. We discuss some implications arising due to this missing structure in the models, in terms of calibration, and in the search for the H i 21 cm signal, as well as possible mitigation techniques.
The SUPERWIDE Catalog: A Catalog of 99,203 Wide Binaries Found in Gaia and Supplemented by the SUPERBLINK High Proper Motion Catalog
Authors: Hartman Zachary D. , Lépine Sébastien
Published: April 2020

We present a catalog of 99,203 wide binary systems, initially identified as common proper motion (CPM) pairs from a subset of ∼5.2 million stars with proper motions

, selected from Gaia data release 2 (DR2) and the SUPERBLINK high proper motion catalog. CPM pairs are found by searching for pairs of stars with angular separations <1° and proper motion differences

. A Bayesian analysis is then applied in two steps. In a first pass, we use proper motion differences and angular separations to distinguish between real binaries and chance alignments. In a second pass, we use parallax data from Gaia DR2 to refine our Bayesian probability estimates. We present a table of 119,390 pairs which went through the full analysis, 99,203 of which have probabilities >95% of being real wide binaries. Of those 99,203 high-probability pairs, we estimate that only about 364 pairs are most likely to be false positives. In addition, we identify 57,506 pairs that have probabilities greater than 10% from the first pass but have high parallax errors and therefore were not vetted in the second pass. We examine the projected physical separation distribution of our highest probability pairs and note that the distribution is a simple exponential tail and shows no evidence of being bimodal. Among pairs with lower probability, wide binaries are detected at larger separations (>104–105 au), consistent with the very wide population suggested in previous studies; however, our analysis suggests that these do not represent a distinct population, but instead represent either the exponential tail of the “normal” wide binary distribution or are simply chance alignments of unrelated field stars. We examine the Hertzsprung–Russell diagram of this set of high-probability wide binaries and find evidence for 980 overluminous components among 2227 K + K wide binaries; assuming these represent unresolved subsystems, we determine that the higher-order multiplicity fraction for K + K wide systems is at least 39.6%.

Particle Swarm Optimization Based Beamforming in Massive MIMO Systems
Authors: Kareem Thaar A. , Alaa Hussain Maab , Kareem Jabbar Mays
Published: April 2020

This research puts forth an optimization- based analog beamforming scheme for millimeter-wave (mmWave) massive MIMO systems. Main aim is to optimize the combination of analog precoder / combiner matrices for the purpose of getting near-optimal performance. Codebook-based analog beamforming with transmit precoding and receive combining serves the purpose of compensating the severe attenuation of mmWave signals. The existing and traditional beamforming schemes involve a complex search for the best pair of analog precoder / combiner matrices from predefined codebooks. In this research, we have solved this problem by using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) to find the best combination of precoder / combiner matrices among all possible pairs with the objective of achieving near-optimal performance with regard to maximum achievable rate. Experiments prove the robustness of the proposed approach in comparison to the benchmarks considered. 

 
Antidiabetic Activity (Anti-Hyperglycemic Activity, Anti-Hyperlipidemic Activity)/Agents From Medicinal Plants
Authors: Sansi Manish Singh , Iram Daraksha , Narayan Kapil Singh , Kumar Sandeep , Prakash Om , Misra Dipanjan
Published: April 2020

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease caused by inherited or acquired deficiency in insulin secretion and by decreased insulin secretion by the organ. Insulin deficiency causes the DM. Synthetic drugs are widely used in the treatment of diabetes, but they have some side effects. The antihyperglycemic and antihyperlipedemic effects of the plants are related to their ability to maintain pancreatic function. Medicinal plants constituents such as glycosides, alkaloids, terpenoids, and flavonoids mitigate DM. B. ciliata inhibits the α-glucosidase and α-amylase. Cinnamon extracts improve insulin receptor function by activating insulin receptor kinase and inhibiting insulin receptor phosphatase, which lead to an increase in insulin sensitivity. Morinda lucida also had the highest antioxidant activity, and it also inhibited the α-glucosidase. Many plants have also been shown to antihyperlipedemic effects. Finally, it can be concluded that medicinal plants have that ability to treat or prevent DM.

Published: April 2020

Extensive research suggests that a number of plant-derived chemicals and traditional Oriental herbal remedies possess cognition-enhancing properties. Widely used current treatments for dementia include extracts of Ginkgo biloba and several alkaloidal, and therefore toxic, plant-derived cholinergic agents. Several non-toxic, European herbal species have pan-cultural traditions as treatments for cognitive deficits, including those associated with aging. Acute administration has also been found to reliably improve mnemonic performance in healthy young and elderly cohorts, whilst a chronic regime has been shown to attenuate cognitive declines in sufferers from Alzheimer's disease. The present chapter looks at the ethnobotanical and pharmacological importance of various plants cognitive enhancing and other neuroprotective abilities.

While critics have acknowledged the often comic moments in Miller's best-known tragedies and in 1968's The Price, which Miller labeled as a comedy, they tend to overlook other dramas that Miller wrote as fully comic, such as The Creation of the World and Other Business (1972), The Ride Down Mt. Morgan (1991), Mr. Peters' Connections (1998), Resurrection Blues (2002), and Finishing the Picture (2004). These are plays that have a lot of connection to one another in terms of style and have found scarce production and lukewarm reception, mostly, I believe, because critics and audiences just do not know how to accept or understand Miller the comedian. This essay opens up that conversation and asks for a reconsideration of Miller's comic intents.

O objetivo do presente trabalho foi avaliar as correlações entre produtividade e resposta à seca (RS) do eucalipto entre os atributos do solo em dois tipos climáticos distintos no Brasil. Para isto, foram instalados 24 experimentos no Brasil com 4 clones comuns em todos os experimentos para obter fortes contrastes edafoclimáticos, e, desse modo, mensurar a produtividade e a reposta à seca e descrever as suas relações com os atributos de solos. Foram avaliados dois grupos climáticos: Úmido (relação precipitação: evapotranspiração entre 1,0 a 2,5) e Subúmido (relação precipitação: evapotranspiração entre 0,5 a 1,0). Os atributos dos solos avaliados foram: Areia, Silte, Argila, matéria orgânica (M.O.), capacidade de troca catiônica (CTC). Para os sítios localizados na classe climática Úmida, o VCCC correlacionouse negativamente com a M.O. e argila, e positivamente com a Areia. Para a RS, as correlações foram observadas para clima Subúmido para as variáveis CTC e Areia, e para o clima Úmido, não foram observadas correlações entre os atributos de solos com a RS.

Introdução: A contaminação bacteriana em concentrados plaquetários (CPs) constitui um problema crítico devido ao risco de eventos sépticos associados à transfusão. A cultura microbiológica dos CPs apresenta alguns desafios como o volume pequeno do inóculo inicial e o tempo para a liberação do resultado. Neste estudo nós avaliamos o desempenho na detecção da contaminação em 79 amostras de CPs provenientes do Hemocentro do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul de Santa Maria no ano de 2010 por duas diferentes metodologias. Material e Métodos: Cultura bacteriológica quantitativa: semeadura de 100 µL de CPs em ágar sangue; e marcadores metabólicos: medida de glicose e pH com tiras reagentes. Resultados: Em todas as análises deste estudo a glicose apresentou valores positivos e 91,13% ficou com pH acima de 7,5 e 8,87% abaixo de 7,0. No 5º dia 83,55% das amostras apresentaram glicose negativa. Não houve crescimento bacteriano em nenhuma das amostras que apresentaram pH inicial ácido. A taxa de contaminação bacteriana foi de 1,27% (Staphylococcus epidermidis). Conclusão: Concluímos que os marcadores metabólicos utilizados não permitiram a detecção da contaminação bacteriana, uma vez que a amostra positiva não mostrou relação com a acidificação do pH e do consumo da glicose

Tick anaphylaxis triggered by pulling out the tick
Authors: Takayama Noriya , Takagaki Yusaku
Published: April 2020

Background

Reports of tick anaphylaxis are extremely rare in Asian countries, with poor awareness in these regions. Herein, we report a case of tick anaphylaxis that was triggered by pulling out the tick.

Case Presentation

A 66‐year‐old man developed pruritus in his left toes after returning from a mountain. Three days later, he found a swollen tick biting at the skin between the second and third toes and pulled it out. Approximately 30 min after pulling out the tick, he started to feel a burning sensation in his chest and was brought to our hospital. He was diagnosed with anaphylactic shock (systolic blood pressure, 60 mmHg) and immediately received intramuscular adrenaline.

Conclusion

To our knowledge, this is the first case of tick anaphylaxis triggered by tick removal in an Asian country. A tick should be removed without pressure on its body, especially in patients with tick or bee allergy.
Experimental study of the influence of temperature and cooling method on mechanical properties of granite: Implication for geothermal mining

In geothermal mining, the mechanical properties and micro‐structure of the rock under different temperature or cooling modes are highly relevant to the stability of the artificial reservoir. For reflect the actual working conditions, an experimental study is carried out on high‐temperature granite that has been cooled both naturally and rapidly with water. The following conclusions are reached. (a) The wave velocity, elastic modulus, and uniaxial compressive strength of the test specimen decrease with an increase in its heating temperature under both cooling modes. (b) The characteristics of the stress‐strain curve of granite are different after different temperatures and cooling modes. With natural cooling, the stress‐strain curve features double peaks in the range of 200‐300°C, whereas such phenomenon occurs at temperatures greater than 300°C with water cooling. (c) When the temperature is less than 300°C, no obvious change occurs in the crystal structure of the sample. When the temperature is more than 300°C, the original micro‐cracks gradually expand and eventually develop into larger cracks.
An ALE method for simulations of axisymmetric elastic surfaces in flow
Authors: Mokbel Marcel , Aland Sebastian
Published: April 2020

The dynamics of membranes, shells, and capsules in fluid flow has become an active research area in computational physics and computational biology. The small thickness of these elastic materials enables their efficient approximation as a hypersurface, which exhibits an elastic response to in‐plane stretching and out‐of‐plane bending, possibly accompanied by a surface tension force. In this work, we present a novel arbitrary Lagrangian‐Eulerian (ALE) method to simulate such elastic surfaces immersed in Navier‐Stokes fluids. The method combines high accuracy with computational efficiency, since the grid is matched to the elastic surface and can, therefore, be resolved with relatively few grid points. The focus of this work is on axisymmetric shapes and flow conditions, which are present in a wide range of biophysical problems. We formulate axisymmetric elastic surface forces and propose a discretization with surface finite‐differences coupled to evolving finite elements. We further develop an implicit coupling strategy to reduce time step restrictions. We show in several numerical test cases that accurate results can be achieved at computational times on the order of minutes on a single core CPU. We demonstrate two state‐of‐the‐art applications which to our knowledge cannot be simulated with any other numerical method so far: we present first simulations of the observed shape oscillations of novel microswimming shells and the uniaxial compression of the cortex of a biological cell during an AFM experiment.
Multimodal water age distributions and the challenge of complex hydrological landscapes
Authors: Rodriguez Nicolas B. , Benettin Paolo , Klaus Julian
Published: April 2020

Travel time distributions (TTDs) are concise descriptions of transport processes in catchments based on water ages, and they are particularly efficient as lumped hydrological models to simulate tracers in outflows. Past studies have approximated catchment TTDs with unimodal probability distribution functions (pdf) and have successfully simulated tracers in outflows with those. However, intricate flow paths and contrasting water velocities observed in complex hydrological systems may generate multimodal age distributions. This study explores the occurrence of multimodal age distributions in hydrological systems and investigates the consequences of multimodality for tracer transport. Lumped models based on TTDs of varying complexity (unimodal and multimodal) are used to simulate tracers in the discharge of hydrological systems under well‐known conditions. Specifically, we simulate tracer data from a controlled lysimeter irrigation experiment showing a multimodal response and we provide results from a virtual catchment‐scale experiment testing the ability of a unimodal age distribution to simulate a known and more complex multimodal age system. Models are based on composite StorAge Selection functions, defined as weighted sums of pdfs, which allow a straightforward implementation of uni‐ or multi‐modal age distributions while accounting for unsteady conditions. These two experiments show that simple unimodal models provide satisfactory simulations of a given tracer, but they fail in reproducing processes occurring at different temporal scales. Multimodal distributions, instead, can better capture the detailed dynamics embedded in the observations. We conclude that experimental knowledge of flow paths and the systematic use of data from multiple, independent tracers can be used to validate the assumption of water age unimodality. Multimodal age distributions are more likely to emerge in landscapes where the distributions of flow path lengths and/or water velocities are themselves multimodal. In general, age multimodality may not be particularly pronounced and detectable, unless comparable amounts of water with contrasting ages reach a given outflow.

Published: April 2020

Flexible electronics have emerged as an exciting research area in recent years, serving as ideal interfaces bridging biological systems and conventional electronic devices. Flexible electronics can not only collect physiological signals for human health monitoring but also enrich our daily life with multifunctional smart materials and devices. Conductive hydrogels (CHs) have become promising candidates for the fabrication of flexible electronics owing to their biocompatibility, adjustable mechanical flexibility, good conductivity, and multiple stimuli‐responsive properties. To achieve on‐demand mechanical properties such as stretchability, compressibility, and elasticity, the rational design of polymer networks via modulating chemical and physical intermolecular interactions is required. Moreover, the type of conductive components (eg, electron‐conductive materials, ions) and the incorporation method also play an important role in the conductivity of CHs. Electron‐CHs usually possess excellent conductivity, while ion‐CHs are generally transparent and can generate ion gradients within the hydrogel matrices. This mini review focuses on the recent advances in the design of CHs, introducing various design strategies for electron‐CHs and ion‐CHs employed in flexible electronics and highlighting their versatile applications such as biosensors, batteries, supercapacitors, nanogenerators, actuators, touch panels, and displays.
