Published: August 2015

AbstractThree-dimensional (3D) stackable memory devices including nano-scaled crossbar array are central for the realization of high-density non-volatile memory electronics. However, an essential sneak path issue affecting device performance in crossbar array remains a bottleneck and a grand challenge. Therefore, a suitable bidirectional selector as a two-way switch is required to facilitate a major breakthrough in the 3D crossbar array memory devices. Here, we show the excellent selectivity of all oxide p-/n-type semiconductor-based p-n-p open-based bipolar junction transistors as selectors in crossbar memory array. We report that bidirectional nonlinear characteristics of oxide p-n-p junctions can be highly enhanced by manipulating p-/n-type oxide semiconductor characteristics. We also propose an associated Zener tunneling mechanism that explains the unique features of our p-n-p selector. Our experimental findings are further extended to confirm the profound functionality of oxide p-n-p selectors integrated with several bipolar resistive switching memory elements working as storage nodes.
Two-photon uncageable enzyme inhibitors bearing targeting vectors
Authors: Anstaett Philipp , Pierroz Vanessa , Ferrari Stefano , Gasser Gilles 
Published: August 2015

Abstract
The activity of two cyclooxygenase-2 enzyme inhibitors, Celecoxib and Lumiracoxib, could be suppressed by coupling to photo-labile protecting groups, so-called photocages. These groups could be further functionalized with a peptide targeting vector for specific cellular delivery. The enzyme inhibition potential of the cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors could be regained upon two-photon excitation with tissue-transparent near-IR light at 800 nm.

Mitochondria play an essential role in synthesis and export of iron–sulfur (Fe–S) clusters to other sections of a cell. Although the mechanism of Fe–S cluster synthesis is well elucidated, information on the identity of the proteins involved in the export pathway is limited. The present study identifies hMIA40 (human mitochondrial intermembrane space import and assembly protein 40), also known as CHCHD4 (coiled-coil–helix–coiled-coil–helix domain-containing 4), as a component of the mitochondrial Fe–S cluster export machinery. hMIA40 is an iron-binding protein with the ability to bind iron in vivo and in vitro. hMIA40 harbours CPC (Cys-Pro-Cys) motif-dependent Fe–S clusters that are sensitive to oxidation. Depletion of hMIA40 results in accumulation of iron in mitochondria concomitant with decreases in the activity and stability of Fe–S-containing cytosolic enzymes. Intriguingly, overexpression of either the mitochondrial export component or cytosolic the Fe–S cluster assembly component does not have any effect on the phenotype of hMIA40-depleted cells. Taken together, our results demonstrate an indispensable role for hMIA40 for the export of Fe–S clusters from mitochondria.

Fibrotic lung diseases, such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, are associated with spontaneous dry cough and hypersensitivity to tussive agents. Understanding the pathophysiology driving enhanced cough may help us to define better therapies for patients. We hypothesized that lung fibrosis induced by intratracheal bleomycin would exacerbate the cough reflex induced by tussive agents in guinea pigs. Disease progression in the lungs was characterized at days 1, 7, 14, 21 and 28 after bleomycin administration. Inflammatory and fibrotic markers, as well as neurotrophin levels, were assessed in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and/or lung tissue. Cough sensitivity to citric acid, capsaicin and allylisothiocyanate was evaluated in conscious animals at days 14 and 21 after bleomycin administration. Pulmonary lesions evolved from an early inflammatory phase (from day 1 to day 7) to a fibrotic stage (between days 14 and 28). Fibrosis was related to increased levels of matrix metalloproteinase-2 in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (day 21: saline, 0.26 ng/ml; bleomycin, 0.49 ng/ml). At day 14, we also observed increased cough reflexes to citric acid (163%), capsaicin (125%) and allylisothiocyanate (178%). Cough exacerbation persisted, but at a lower extent, by day 21 for capsaicin (100%) and allylisothiocyanate (54%). Moreover, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid concentrations of brain-derived neurotrophic factor, suggested to induce nerve remodelling in chronic cough, were also enhanced (day 1: saline, 14.21 pg/ml; bleomycin, 30.09 pg/ml). In summary, our model of bleomycin-induced cough exacerbation may be a valuable tool to investigate cough hypersensitivity and develop antitussive therapies for fibrotic lung diseases.

Published: August 2015

A 60 GHz low‐noise amplifier (LNA) using standard 65 nm CMOS technology is presented. A gain of the 60 GHz amplifier was boosted by using a transformer feedbacked capacitor neutraliser. To stabilise the process variations caused by the positive feedback system, the body node of the triple well was adjusted to tune the capacitor value. The theory, simulation and measurements are presented. An implementation prototype is evaluated using on‐wafer proving. The LNA showed a measured peak gain of 30 dB and a measured noise of 4.6 dB under 8.9 mW power consumption with a 1 V supply voltage. The measured IIP3 was −26 dBm. This is believed to be the first CMOS 60 GHz LNA to compensate the overlap capacitor with a single‐ended structure.

Published: August 2015

A gallium nitride (GaN)‐based gate driver circuit for high power and high speed GaN power switches is presented. The principle of the proposed circuit is based upon two normally‐on GaN HEMTs and a self‐biasing resistance. An integrated pulse width modulation functionality has been implemented using the threshold effect of the presented topology. The gate driver has been built with two CGHV1F006S GaN HEMT devices from Cree, Inc. It has been connected to the gate port of a 45 W CGH40045F GaN power switch operating as a DC/DC boost converter for the purpose of demonstration. Low consumption (≈1 W) and high frequency switching operation up to 60 MHz over the 20–80% duty cycle range is demonstrated. The square waveforms having switching times in the order of nanoseconds have been measured.
Low conversion loss 94 GHz CMOS resistive mixer
Authors: Kim Jihoon , Kwon Youngwoo 
Published: August 2015

A 94 GHz CMOS resistive mixer is presented using the 65 nm CMOS process. Parasitic losses which are serious at high frequencies are minimised by adopting the optimised transistor size and symmetric transistor layouts as well as a scaled‐down 65 nm CMOS technology, which contribute to reducing the conversion loss at 94 GHz by 2–3 dB, the conversion loss being 8.8–9.2 dB from 87 to 94 GHz of RF frequencies with an LO power of <7.6 dBm. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the best performance of CMOS resistive mixers operating in the frequency band of more than 90 GHz. The results also are competitive when compared with GaAs‐based resistive mixers having moderate LO power requirements and a reasonable noise figure.

Published: August 2015

High‐mobility nickel (Ni)‐doped zinc oxide thin‐film transistors (NZO TFTs) have been successfully fabricated on flexible transparent plastic substrates at a low temperature. The devices all exhibited good electrical properties with small subthreshold swing (SS) and high saturation mobility fabricated under different sputtering pressure (0.4, 0.8, 1.2, 1.6 Pa) during channel deposition by RF magnetron sputtering were found. The electrical properties of NZO TFTs reached the best when the sputtering pressure was 1.6 Pa, with an SS of 89 mV/decade, a saturation mobility of 172 cm2·V−1·s−1, a drain current on/off ratio of 108, and a positive threshold voltage of 2.36 V. The results show that Ni‐doped ZnO is a promising candidate for flexible fully transparent displays.
Wideband subwavelength‐profile circularly polarised array antenna using anisotropic metasurface
Authors: Chung Kwok L. , Chaimool Sarawuth , Zhang Chunwei 
Published: August 2015

A cost‐effective solution for the performance enhancement of circularly polarised array antennas by using a thin metasurface is proposed. The array is considered as reconfigurable, where an antenna engineer can arbitrarily add the metasurface onto the original array according to application requirements. Once added, the new array forms a subwavelength cavity having a compact form factor of 1.63λo × 1.63λo × 0.07λo at 2.45 GHz. The array antenna is demonstrated to have remarkable enhancement on its performance metrics including boresight gain (12.8 dBic), axial‐ratio bandwidth (46.5%) and 10 dBic gain bandwidth (24.4%). More interestingly, a sidelobe suppression level of 4.4 dB is achieved.
N − 1 security assessment approach based on the steady‐state security distance
Authors: Chen Sijie , Chen Qixin , Xia Qing , Zhong Haiwang , Kang Chongqing 
Published: August 2015

The traditional N − 1 security assessment approaches give a limited perspective on the degree of power system security. This study proposes a novel security assessment approach using the index of post‐contingency steady‐state security distance (PCSSD). Two PCSSD models are established for contingencies causing or not causing system overloads, respectively. If the system is secure following a contingency, the PCSSD provides the shortest distance of the operating point (OP) to the post‐contingency steady‐state security region (PCSSR) boundaries, to indicate the OP's remaining security margin. If an overload condition arises after a contingency, the PCSSD provides the shortest distance of the OP to the PCSSR, to show the difficulty in eliminating power grid violations. With the index of the PCSSD, one can continuously quantify post‐contingency OPs whether they are secure or insecure and rank all possible contingencies according to their severity. The PCSSD model is a large‐scale non‐linear optimisation model which has to be calculated numerous times. A novel algorithm is proposed to improve the computational efficiency. It identifies the active boundaries of the PCSSR, and then approximates most of the PCSSDs by the corresponding ante‐contingency ones, reducing the number of optimisation problems to be solved. Case studies are performed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
Hydrothermal synthesis, characterisation and growth mechanism of Ni(SO4)0.3 (OH)1.4 nanowires
Authors: Wang Haoran , Wan Lei , Chen Yaqiong , Hu Wenbin , Deng Yida 
Published: August 2015

A report is presented on the facile fabrication of Ni(SO4)0.3 (OH)1.4 nanowires via the hydrothermal synthesis method. The outcome demonstrates that the existence of SO42− and a comparatively lower pH are of great essence to form nanowires morphology rather than flake‐like or amorphous ones. When the molar ratio of SO42− to OH− was 1:1, almost pure nanowires of diameter 20−30 nm and several micrometres long could be obtained. Ni(SO4)0.3 (OH)1.4 is actually a type of α‐Ni(OH)2. The growth mechanism of this hydroxyl‐lacking hydroxide is discussed. The embedded SO42− between Ni(OH)2 layers can realise electrostatic equilibrium which may ensure an hcp crystal structure of Ni(OH)2 having the trend to grow along the (001) direction. On the contrary, when SO42− was superseded by other anions, the nanowires would progressively convert to nanosheets, accompanied by an α‐phase to β‐phase transformation.
The Consolation of Boethius as Poetic Liturgy
Authors: Blackwood Stephen 
Published: August 2015

AbstractThis book argues that the metres of Boethius’ Consolation of Philosophy are arranged in patterns that have a therapeutic and liturgical purpose. The argument moves from an examination of the prosodical interplay of metre, meaning, and sound in the Consolation’s first seven poems; to a consideration of the therapeutic use of the same metre in different poems; to the discovery and exploration of an intricate system of metric repetition that comprehends every poem; and finally, to reflection on how this acoustic system shapes the listener’s memory to an intelligible design. It is argued that the metres enable a bodily mediation of the text’s consolation, in which, by repetition and meditation, the hearer comes to discern the eternal in the movement of time.
Modernity, Faith, and the City
Authors: Strhan Anna 
Published: August 2015

AbstractThis chapter examines the growing scholarly interest in urban religion, situating this in relation to the contemporary analytical significance of cities as sites where processes of social change, such as globalization, transnationalism, and the influence of new media technologies, materialize in interrelated ways. The chapter argues that Georg Simmel’s writing on cities offers resources to draw out further the significance of ‘the urban’ in this emerging field. It brings together Simmel’s urban analysis with his approach to religion, focusing on Christianities and individuals’ relations with sacred figures, and suggests that this opens up a new approach to how forms of religious practice respond to experiences of cultural fragmentation in complex urban environments. This provides a lens through which to analyse the extent to which conservative evangelical faith offers a creative response to conditions of cultural and subjective fragmentation in an urban context.
Speaking Subjects
Authors: Strhan Anna 
Published: August 2015

AbstractThis chapter outlines how ideals for evangelistic speaking are promoted at St John’s. It shows how the church leaders aim to encourage a habitus through which the congregants feel compassion for and a sense of distinction from others around them in the city, and develop the desire to speak ‘publicly’ about their faith in the workplace and in other social spaces. The chapter then describes how individuals often struggle with this, revealing how their subjectivities are formed through the complex interaction of behavioural norms associated with different social spaces they inhabit. As they become conscious of tensions in their logics of practice shaped through their simultaneous inhabiting of differentiated social spaces suffused with differing moral norms, they narrate their subjective fragmentation according to biblical narratives of guilt and sin. This enables them to draw these fragments together into an overall pattern of meaning that shapes their sense of self.
Conclusion
Authors: Strhan Anna 
Published: August 2015

AbstractThe concluding chapter situates the book’s argument about experiences of fragmentation, desires for coherence, and the struggles of everyday life in relation to broader debates about how forms of religious practice encourage particular responses to and acknowledgement of disappointment, disjunction, and the tragic conditions of life and culture. It summarizes the argument of the book’s preceding chapters, and suggests future directions for research in relation to questions of ethical subjectivity, everyday urban life, religious intersubjectivity, and techniques of the self. It concludes by addressing the role of transcendental and utopian elements in moral thinking, motivation, and desire, and how these shape both the everyday realities of religious lives and the stories people tell about their engagements with others.
Introduction
Authors: Progovac Ljiljana 
Published: August 2015

Abstract
This chapter introduces the reader to the basic arguments of this book, as well as to the reconstruction method to be followed, foreshadowing the arguments and achievements of the rest of the book. It also talks briefly about other approaches to the evolution of syntax, including the gradualist approach pursued in Jackendoff (1999, 2002), and the saltationist approach pursued in Berwick and Chomsky (2011). This chapter shows how the proposal in this book builds on the previous gradualist approaches, and how it distinguishes itself from them. The main point of departure from all the other approaches is that this book offers a detailed identification and illustration of each postulated proto-syntactic stage, based on a precise reconstruction method, according to which each stage literally serves as a scaffolding upon which the next stage is constructed.
Made in Africa
Authors: Oqubay Arkebe 
Published: August 2015

Abstract
This book presents the findings of original field research into the design, practice, and varied outcomes of industrial policy in three sectors in Ethiopia, covering export-oriented and import-substitution industries. The three sectors are cement, leather and leather products, and floriculture. Given that there is a single industrial strategy, why do its outcomes vary across sectors? To what extent is this a function of the specific market and political economy features of each sector? The book examines industrial structures and associated global value chains to demonstrate the challenges faced by African firms in international markets. Part of the book’s relevance is the light it throws on the whole question of industrial policy in low-income countries, the subject of renewed discussion among development economists and organizations in recent years. The findings are also discussed in the light of the history of, and the history of thought about, industrialization. Insights for researchers and policymakers emerge from the analysis of failures and successes in the three industrial sectors. The book also challenges prevailing wisdom on how much and what kind of state intervention is required to support transformational industrial policy in Africa. Among other things, the book highlights the significance for policy design of maximizing linkage effects, backward and forward, from particular industries and activities.
Cementing Development? Uneven Development in an Import-Substitution Industry
Authors: Oqubay Arkebe 
Published: August 2015

Abstract
This chapter provides a sector-specific analysis of the uneven development of cement production—a strategic import-substitution industry driven by and contributing to the growth of the domestic market. The industry has acted as a binding agent of economic development and transformation. It has undergone major changes in the period under consideration, growing faster than in most developing countries. The chapter also examines the industrial structure, linkage effects, policy instruments, and institutions of the sector. In sharp contrast to the overall domination by multinationals of the African cement industry, domestically owned firms continue to dominate the industry in Ethiopia. The analysis explores the role that government policy has played through direct and indirect interventions. It probes the successes and failures in policymaking and asks what learning experiences there have been in the cement sector, given the high-risk trade-offs involved in a context of very scarce resources.
The Last Project
Authors: Francis Kimberly A. 
Published: August 2015

Abstract
This chapter marks the beginning of the end for Stravinsky and Boulanger’s creative dialogue. It addresses Boulanger’s complicated connection to the events surrounding Stravinsky’s opera The Rake’s Progress—her joy at its premiere at the Venice Biennale and her frustration at being so distant from its creator. In an effort to aid in its European reception, Boulanger worked to secure performances and send reviews of French productions to Stravinsky. She became involved in the translation of the work into French, and was also the recipient of three volumes of Stravinsky’s summary sketches for the opera. The chapter then places Stravinsky’s reactions to Boulanger’s work alongside a discussion of the influence of Robert Craft, Stravinsky’s amanuensis and advisor post 1946. It also considers changing perceptions of Boulanger’s power as a cultural agent, particularly from the vantage point of postwar America.
An Introduction
Authors: Rajendran Aneeta 
Published: August 2015

Abstract
Narratives of homosexual experience that escape the ‘alternormativity’ of ‘out-ness’ that is often the unspoken basis of much mainstream LGBT political work today can be found in a number of South Asian subcontinental spaces and discourses. These queer, (un)familiar subjectivities, as this chapter calls them, are liable to be missed altogether if one privileges visibility over all else. This project looks for the lesbian un/familiar within the ‘realms’ of familiar space, of home, family, nation and diaspora, in postcolonial India, finding her not only in the ‘lesbian’ coming-out story, but in a multitude of narratives where being female and homosexual is one aspect of subjecthood. Adopting an intersectional analysis, it locates (un)familiar feminine engagements with the normative within a penumbra of intersections of caste, gender, space, race and sexuality. This chapter lays out the potentials this (un)familiar feminine has for exploding normative narrativizations of family, nation, diaspora, citizenship and sexual selving.
Conclusions

Abstract
This book has analysed through the rubric of the (un)familiar different constructions of queerness available to female protagonists in texts generated in South Asia and its diaspora. Imagining queerness not as absolute ‘other’ to heterosexuality, this book in conclusion re-states how the (un)familiar is both a space and an identity wherein productive but quotidian quarrels with heteronormativity may be had and are had in non-Western and/or hybridized worlds. These quarrels, however, will not be visible to an analytic that privileges ‘outness’ or stable ‘modern’ lesbian identity. Rather, this book suggests that queerness seen as unfamiliarity penetrates the familiar so thoroughly, destabilizing heteronormativity not through meta-moments of visibilized conflict, but through everyday small practices of resistance capable of performing the political work that transforms heteronormative/homophobic violence and discrimination when read thus through a prism of (un)familiarity.
