Authors: Ye Zhicheng , Zheng Jun , Guo Lindong , Wang Haoyu 
Published: November 2018

Human‐machine interaction is the inevitable medium for people to obtain information from display devices. The evaluation of interaction technologies consist one of the most important parts of the rapid development of display industry. Fifty years ago, mouse and keyboard had brought about great convenience for people to operate machines, while the transparent capacitive touching technology led by Apple's ‘Iphone’ 10 years ago, revolutionarily enable people to use fingers‐the native and ultimate locating ‘device’ to touch and operate the displays.Until now, most of the ‘touching’ technologies only work on the plane dimensional of screens. While, in this talk, we will show a novel optical touching technology based on sub‐wavelength meta‐materials which cover the incident rays into wave guided light for position detection and interaction. By using roll‐to‐roll nano‐imprinting, larger scale fabrication of the sub‐wavelength optical films have been fulfilled and a prototype of optical touch screen has been made, paving the way to mass commercialization.
22.2: Invited Paper: Sputtered Molybdenum‐Oxide for Anti‐Reflection Layers in Displays:	Optical Properties and Thermal Stability

Published: November 2018

Molybdenum (Mo) is commonly used for thin film transistor (TFT) metallization in displays. Apart from its outstanding electronic and adhesive properties in the metallic form, it also possesses stable oxidation states, including sub‐stoichiometric oxides. Depending on the amount of oxygen, the properties can be widely tuned and oxygen‐deficient MoO3‐y films can be electrical conducting and optically absorbing, making them suitable candidates for integration as low‐reflection coatings for on/in cell touch, black matrix on array, narrow bezel, or TFT metallization. Deposition of these oxides by fully reactive sputtering from metal targets implies several problems such as lateral inhomogeneities on large substrates (>G5) and difficult control of oxygen flow. To avoid these obstacles, DC‐ sputtering from ceramic Molybdenum oxide targets without the addition of oxygen gas is proposed.In our work, we show the non‐reactive DC‐sputtering of MoOx:TaOx in a stable and reliable process with deposition rates of up to 180 nm/min. Further on, the electrical, optical, and structural properties of the resulting films are studied. The reflectance of light from external sources and the resulting color impression of the dark layer coatings is investigated on different substrates. The color coordinates of the film can be tuned by the layer thickness, the type of covered metal layer (e.g. Cu, Al, Mo), as well as composition of the oxide. From a process stability point of view, we discuss changes during additional annealing steps, and show structural changes at elevated temperatures.
35.4: UV LED ILLUMINATION STEPPER OFFERS HIGH PERFORMANCE AND LOW COST OF OWNERSHIP

Published: November 2018

Flat panel displays (FPD) are electronic viewing technologies used to let people see content in media and entertainment, consumer electronics, personal computer and mobile devices. Other applications and industries are medical, transportation and industrial equipment. FPD is often the preferred choice due to lower weight and less power consumption. Common types of FPD are liquid crystal display (LCD), plasma display panels (PDP) and organic light‐emitting diode (OLED).The global market for FPD continues to grow due to the high demand in the automobile and smartphone industries. As a result of the high demand, the FPD manufacturing industry continues to remain highly competitive. In this cost sensitive arena, FPD manufacturers need to find new ways to reduce the cost of ownership of lithography equipment.Most lithography systems in FPD manufacturing plants use high power mercury ARC lamps to generate i‐line (365nm) wavelength for the photoresist exposure process. This is a costly process as the mercury ARC lamps have a limited lifetime, typically less than one month, which results in downtime to swap lamps.. The cost of replacing the high power mercury ARC lamp, together with the high electricity consumption, and disposal of mercury waste, turns out to be a substantial operating cost.This paper will demonstrate how the use of ultraviolet light emitting diode (UV LED), in replacing the high power mercury lamp, will reduce the overall operating cost which therefore lowers the cost of ownership of the stepper. The breakdown of cost structure will be discussed in detail and show that UV LED is a good replacement solution for the high power mercury ARC lamp.The throughput improvement by using UV LED will also be discussed and compared to the conventional high power mercury arc lamp. The analysis will also show that the consistency of throughput, as compared to the degradation of mercury arc lamp intensity, as well as the time saved for replacement further reduces operating costs.This paper also demonstrates the improved performance of dose accuracy and repeatability, as well as the capability to achieve extremely low exposure doses without compromising dose accuracy. The improvement in stepper reliability by removing the conventional shutter moving parts will also be discussed.The performance data for illumination intensity, dose accuracy, uniformity, spectral line width, CD uniformity and cost reduction will be discussed in detail. The final analysis will show that moving to UV LED illumination offers lower cost and better performance.

Published: November 2018

With the progress of technology, the display devices are also developing in the direction of lightweight, inexpensive, diversification. In order to drive the light emitting devices, people need to research on active‐matrix thin film transistors (TFTs) .In this paper, indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) is chosen as the active layer material, and we use four different types of source/drain materials including indium‐tin‐oxide (ITO),Al, Al‐doped zinc oxide (AZO) and Ga‐doped zinc oxide (GZO) to explore the influence of different source/drain materials on the characteristics of oxide semiconductor thin film transistors (TFT). The results show that TFTs with AZO as source/drain electrodes exhibit good characteristics. After 200°C annealing, the output characteristic of TFT with AZO as source/drain electrodes becomes better and its source/drain series resistance is low.From this study, AZO can be considered as a hopeful source/drain material which would be utilized in the future displays technology.
Selective Production of Furanic Ethers from Lignocellulosic Biomass over Mesoporous Zr‐Incorporated SBA‐15 Catalyst
Authors: Patil Chetana R. , Rode Chandrashekhar V. 
Published: November 2018

AbstractEtherification of furanic compounds such as furfuryl alcohol (FA) and 5‐(Hydroxymethyl) furfural (5‐HMF) to the corresponding ethers was successfully achieved over Zr‐SBA‐15 catalyst. For this purpose, various Zr‐SBA‐15 catalysts with different Zr/Si molar ratios in self‐generated acidic environment were prepared by one‐pot strategy in self‐generated acidic environment. XRD analysis revealed the increase in the d‐spacing from 9.021 nm for parent SBA‐15 to 11.66 nm for Zr‐SBA‐15, confirming the incorporation of Zr into the framework without disturbing the mesoporous structure of SBA‐15. For the lowest Zr concentration of 0.09 M, hexagonally ordered porous structure was found to be retained as confirmed by TEM while, increase in Zr/Si molar ratio to 0.14, resulted in loss of long range order mesoporosity. The presence of both Lewis and Brønsted acid sites in Zr‐SBA‐15 catalyst as evidenced by py‐IR, were due to the introduction of Zr in the frame work of SBA‐15. The co‐existence of Lewis and Brønsted acid sites in Zr‐SBA‐15 was responsible to catalyze etherification of FA and esterification of levulinic acid producing 2‐(Ethoxymethyl) furan and ethyl levulinate selectively, both of which are bio‐derived fuel additives.

Abstract
Understanding the mechanisms regulating recruitment of human skeletal (stromal or mesenchymal) stem cells (hMSC) to sites of tissue injury is a prerequisite for their successful use in cell replacement therapy. Chemokine-like protein TAFA2 is a recently discovered neurokine involved in neuronal cell migration and neurite outgrowth. Here, we demonstrate a possible role for TAFA2 in regulating recruitment of hMSC to bone fracture sites. TAFA2 increased the in vitro trans-well migration and motility of hMSC in a dose-dependent fashion and induced significant morphological changes including formation of lamellipodia as revealed by high-content-image analysis at single-cell level. Mechanistic studies revealed that TAFA2 enhanced hMSC migration through activation of the Rac1-p38 pathway. In addition, TAFA2 enhanced hMSC proliferation, whereas differentiation of hMSC toward osteoblast and adipocyte lineages was not altered. in vivo studies demonstrated transient upregulation of TAFA2 gene expression during the inflammatory phase of fracture healing in a closed femoral fracture model in mice, and a similar pattern was observed in serum levels of TAFA2 in patients after hip fracture. Finally, interleukin-1β was found as an upstream regulator of TAFA2 expression. Our findings demonstrate that TAFA2 enhances hMSC migration and recruitment and thus is relevant for regenerative medicine applications. Stem Cells 2019;37:407–416
Quantifying the irreducible uncertainty in near‐term climate projections
Authors: Marotzke Jochem 
Published: November 2018

If the Paris agreement at the Conference of Parties 21 is implemented very effectively, greenhouse‐gas emissions might decrease after year 2020. Whether this would lead to identifiable near‐term responses in “iconic” climate quantities of wide scientific and public interest is unclear, because the climate response would be obscured by quasi‐random internal variability. I define the climate response as an increase or decrease in a linear climate trend over the period 2021–2035, compared to 2006–2020, and establish the probability of such a trend change being caused by an assumed policy shift toward emissions reductions after 2020. I quantify the irreducible uncertainty in projecting such a trend change through very large (100‐member) ensembles of the state‐of‐the‐art climate model MPI‐ESM‐LR. Trends in global‐mean surface temperature (GMST) are higher over the period 2021–2035 than over 2006–2020 in one‐third of all realizations in the mitigation scenario RCP2.6, interpreted as implementing the Paris agreement, compared to around one‐half in the no‐mitigation scenario RCP4.5. Mitigation issufficientto cause a GMST trend reduction with a probability of 0.40 andnecessarywith a probability of 0.33. Trend increases in Arctic September sea‐ice area and the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation are caused by the emissions reductions with a probability of only around 0.1. By contrast, emissions reductions arenecessaryfor a trend decrease in upper‐ocean heat content with a probability of over one‐half. Some iconic climate quantities might thus by year 2035 exhibit an identifiable response to a successful Paris agreement but sometimes with low probability, creating a substantial communication challenge.This article is categorized under:Climate Models and Modeling > Knowledge Generation with Models
Robotic interfaces for cognitive psychology and embodiment research: A research roadmap
Authors: Beckerle Philipp , Castellini Claudio , Lenggenhager Bigna 
Published: November 2018

Advanced human–machine interfaces render robotic devices applicable to study and enhance human cognition. This turns robots into formidable neuroscientific tools to study processes such as the adaptation between a human operator and the operated robotic device and how this adaptation modulates human embodiment and embodied cognition. We analyze bidirectional human–machine interface (bHMI) technologies for transparent information transfer between a human and a robot via efferent and afferent channels. Even if such interfaces have a tremendous positive impact on feedback loops and embodiment, advanced bHMIs face immense technological challenges. We critically discuss existing technical approaches, mainly focusing on haptics, and suggest extensions thereof, which include other aspects of touch. Moreover, we point out other potential constraints such as limited functionality, semi‐autonomy, intent‐detection, and feedback methods. From this, we develop a research roadmap to guide understanding and development of bidirectional human–machine interfaces that enable robotic experiments to empirically study the human mind and embodiment. We conclude the integration of dexterous control and multisensory feedback to be a promising roadmap towards future robotic interfaces, especially regarding applications in the cognitive sciences.This article is categorized under:

Salinity and Sodicity Adaptation and Mitigation Options
Authors: Shahid Shabbir A. , Zaman Mohammad , Heng Lee 
Published: November 2018

AbstractSoil salinity and sodicity are twin constraints to agriculture production in many countries causing significant losses of crop production and land degradation. Once the salinity and sodicity problems are properly diagnosed, an integrated soil reclamation program may be formulated including combination of physical, chemical, hydrological and biological methods to rectify the twin problems. A combination of adaptation and mitigation technologies are to be adopted, for example adaptation allows the continued use of salt-affected soils by adjusting in response to the degree by which salinity and sodicity development has affected the soil, whereas, in contrast, mitigation refers to the technologies which are adopted to stop salinization to occur. It should be remembered that there is no single universal mitigation technology suitable for all soils, however, diagnostic based recommendations work satisfactorily for a specific site or location. Prior to setting up soil reclamation plan it is essential to review the available resources (farmer budget, availability and quality of water) and the objectives of reclamation and the reclamation plan established suiting the specific farmer needs. In this chapter, various soil reclamation methods such as; physical-leveling, subsoiling, mixing sand, seed bed preparation and salts scrapping); chemical (use of gypsum based on gypsum requirement, sulfur, acids etc.), hydrological-selection of suitable irrigation system-drip, sprinkler, bubbler, furrow, using the concept of leaching requiring/fraction to manage rootzone salinity, flushing, drainage, blending of water etc.; biological (use of organic amendments, green manuring, farm yard manures and selection of salt-tolerant crops) have be described. In addition, various methods of screening crops against salinity including hydroponics, field screening and serial biological concentration approach are described. Climate Smart Agriculture practices, integrated soil fertility management using 4 R nutrient stewardship are concisely reported. Procedures of salt-harvesting from saline lands and deep deposits and their commercial exploitation in industries are also introduced.
Personal Leadership as Form of Spirituality
Authors: van Saane Joke 
Published: November 2018

AbstractIn theories on leadership a paradoxal development can be perceived. The growth of social constructionist theories on leadership with a strong focus on both leaders and followers goes hand in hand with a call for strong leadership with a focus on skills and traits of the leader. Situational and reciprocal theories on leadership flourish as much as theories on effectiveness of leadership in relation to personality traits and leadership skills. This paradoxal development can be overcome when the paradigms of spirituality are taken into account. In this chapter three perspectives are discussed: the impact of spiritual concepts on leadership, the contemporary developments within religious leadership, and the connection between leadership and learning in the concept of personal leadership. Spiritual concepts open the domain of leadership to growth and values. Contemporary developments in religious leadership reveal the redefinition of traditional forms of religion and the impact on leadership. Personal leadership brings in the notion of learning, and offers a promising way of connecting contemporary needs in a complex world to sources of spirituality.
Leading Organisations in Turbulent Times: Towards a Different Mental Model
Authors: Jordaan Barney 
Published: November 2018

AbstractOrganisations that are able to adapt quickly to changing circumstances in their operating environment have a competitive advantage. This level of “agility” involves more than simply developing new strategies and organisational structures to enable the rapid gathering of relevant information and equally rapid response times. Agility also—if not primarily—requires an ability on the part of people in the organisation to collaborate effectively to improve their decision-making abilities both as far as speed and quality of outcome are concerned. Collaboration involves more than the mere acquisition of a particular skills set, e.g., to listen and communicate effectively, or procedural adeptness. Creating a collaborative working environment requires a climate of trust within the organisation and a mindset that is focused on working with, rather than against others to achieve common organisational goals and objectives. Given the human propensity to compete and the so-called trust deficit prevalent in organisations, trustworthiness on the part of leaders and an ability to instil a culture of collaboration are required. However, a number of human and organisational obstacles would need to be overcome to achieve this.

AbstractThis work presents the supervision strategy in an Arduino card PV generator with storage connected to the low voltage grid. The studied system is composed of a photovoltaic generator, a boost converter, a buck-boost converter and a single-phase inverter. The power of the PV module depends on atmospheric conditions. Batteries are often confronted with overload problems and underload.
The objective of this article is to manage the charging and discharging of the batteries, taking into account their protection against overload and under load and supervise the system. For this, supervision algorithms implemented in Arduino developed.
Simulation results under Matlab show that the Arduino board has ensured the protection of the batteries and system supervision.
POETRY, “THE METAL-BOUND COFFER,” AND THE DUKE OF ZHOU
Authors: Huang Kuan-yun 
Published: November 2018

AbstractThe two parts of this study concern the three extant versions of “The Metal-bound Coffer” (“Jin teng”): the two received texts in the Book of Documents and the Grand Scribe's Records and the newly recovered Warring States manuscript now at Tsinghua University in Beijing. The first part considers an uncontroversial detail shared by all three versions: the reference to a poem composed by the Duke of Zhou called “The Owl” (“Chixiao”). Cross-referencing “The Metal-bound Coffer” with a poem of the same title, now found in the Book of Odes, it is possible to explain not only the place of this poem in the overall narrative of “The Metal-bound Coffer,” but also the considerations of the poem's two ancient commentators, Mao and Zheng Xuan. In the second part of the study, the discussion turns to the three versions of “The Metal-bound Coffer,” looking in turn at three different passages. By positing a greater number of testimonies than the ones that happen to survive, I argue that a comparison of the extant versions reveals an effort by transmitters, commentators, and the re-teller Sima Qian to teach a single lesson: the Duke of Zhou occupied a subordinate place vis-à-vis the ruler, and must never undermine him in any way.
The Dawes Review 8: Measuring the Stellar Initial Mass Function
Authors: Hopkins A. M. 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
The birth of stars and the formation of galaxies are cornerstones of modern astrophysics. While much is known about how galaxies globally and their stars individually form and evolve, one fundamental property that affects both remains elusive. This is problematic because this key property, the birth mass distribution of stars, referred to as the stellar initial mass function, is a key tracer of the physics of star formation that underpins almost all of the unknowns in galaxy and stellar evolution. It is perhaps the greatest source of systematic uncertainty in star and galaxy evolution. The past decade has seen a growing variety of methods for measuring or inferring the initial mass function. This range of approaches and evolving definitions of the quantity being measured has in turn led to conflicting conclusions regarding whether or not the initial mass function is universal. Here I review this growing wealth of approaches, and highlight the importance of considering potential initial mass function variations, reinforcing the need to carefully quantify the scope and uncertainties of measurements. I present a new framework to aid the discussion of the initial mass function and promote clarity in the further development of this fundamental field.

AbstractBreakthrough Listen is a 10-yr initiative to search for signatures of technologies created by extraterrestrial civilisations at radio and optical wavelengths. Here, we detail the digital data recording system deployed for Breakthrough Listen observations at the 64-m aperture CSIRO Parkes Telescope in New South Wales, Australia. The recording system currently implements two modes: a dual-polarisation, 1.125-GHz bandwidth mode for single-beam observations, and a 26-input, 308-MHz bandwidth mode for the 21-cm multibeam receiver. The system is also designed to support a 3-GHz single-beam mode for the forthcoming Parkes ultra-wideband feed. In this paper, we present details of the system architecture, provide an overview of hardware and software, and present initial performance results.
