Flexible InGaZnO TFTs With f(max) Above 300 MHz
(IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC, 2018)In this letter, the AC performance and influence of bending on flexible IGZO thin-film transistors, exhibiting a maximum oscillation frequency (maximum power gain frequency) f(max) beyond 300 MHz, are presented. Self-alignment ... -
A three-dimensional framework for multi-tier sustainable supply chain management
(2018)Purpose: This study aims to investigate the under-researched role of the sub-supplier’s direct environment in achieving compliance with multi-tier sustainable supply chain management (MT-SSCM) objectives. Design/methodol ... -
Flexible IGZO TFT SPICE Model and Design of Active Strain-Compensation Circuits for Bendable Active Matrix Arrays
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers ({IEEE}), 2018)The detailed measurement and characterization of strain-induced performance variations in flexible InGaZnO thin-film transistors (IGZO TFTs) resulted in a SPICE TFT model able to simulate tensile and compressive bending. ... -
Improvement of contact resistance in flexible a-IGZO thin-film transistors by CF4/O-2 plasma treatment
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2018)In this work, we analyze the effect of CF4/O-2 plasma treatment on the contact interface between the amorphous Indium-Gallium-Zinc-Oxide (a-IGZO) semiconductor and Titanium-Gold electrodes. First, the influence of CF4/O-2 ... -
Sustainability tensions in supply chains: A case study of paradoxes and their management
(2018)The comprehensive coverage of sustainability issues in a supply chain incurs goal conflicts-i.e., sustainability tensions-and is often limited by market characteristics, such as the availability of sustainable materials ... -
Industry 4.0 Fostering Construction Supply Chain Management: Lessons Learned From Engineer-to-Order Suppliers
(2018)Industry 4.0 will certainly transform the manufacturing industry but it will also have an impact on the construction industry and its connected supply chains. However, construction faces different problems than manufacturing. ... -
Understanding greening supply chains: Proximity analysis can help
(2018)Supply chain management seeks efficiency. Inefficiencies cause various types of waste and commensurate costs. Supply chain actors differ resulting in proximity issues. Proximity is introduced here as distances on four ... -
Antimicrobial effect of Picea abies extracts on E. coli growth
(2019)This study aims to investigate the e ect of essential oils extracted from wood residues of Picea abies on the growth of Escherichia coli. The essential oils were extracted by supercritical carbon dioxide, leading to a yield ... -
Eddy covariance raw data processing for CO2 and energy fluxes calculation at ICOS ecosystem stations
(2018)The eddy covariance is a powerful technique to estimate the surface-atmosphere exchange of different scalars at the ecosystem scale. The EC method is central to the ecosystem component of the Integrated Carbon Observation ... -
Water requirements of short rotation poplar coppice: Experimental and modelling analyses across Europe
(2018)Poplars are among the most widely used short rotation woody coppice (SRWC) species but due to their assumed high water use, concerns have been raised with respect to large-scale exploitation and potentially detrimental ... -
ICOS eddy covariance flux-station site setup: a review
(2018)The Integrated Carbon Observation System Re-search Infrastructure aims to provide long-term, continuous observations of sources and sinks of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and water vapour. ... -
Reduced-order observers for nonlinear state estimation in flexible multibody systems
(Hindawi Limited, 2018)Modern control schemes adopted in multibody systems take advantage of the knowledge of a large set of measurements of the most important state variables to improve system performances. In the case of flexible-link multibody ... -
Numerical study of the interplay between thermo-topographic slope flow and synoptic flow on canopy transport processes
(2018)Canopy flow resulting from interaction between thermo-topographic slope flow and large-scale synoptic flow is very complicated and has been poorly understood. We apply a Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) turbulence ... -
Importance of reporting ancillary site characteristics, and management and disturbance information at ICOS stations
(2018)There are many factors that influence ecosystem scale carbon, nitrogen and greenhouse gas dynamics, including the inherent heterogeneity of soils and vegetation, anthropogenic management interventions, and biotic and abiotic ... -
Design of Engineered Elastomeric Substrate for Stretchable Active Devices and Sensors
(WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH, 2018)In the field of flexible electronics, emerging applications require biocompatible and unobtrusive devices, which can withstand different modes of mechanical deformation and achieve low complexity in the fabrication process. ... -
Ancillary vegetation measurements at ICOS ecosystem stations
(2018)The Integrated Carbon Observation System is a Pan-European distributed research infrastructure that has as its main goal to monitor the greenhouse gas balance of Europe. The ecosystem component of Integrated Carbon Observation ... -
Pushing digital automation of configure-to-order services in small and medium enterprises of the construction equipment industry: A design science research approach
(2019)In order to efficiently transform business processes (such as product design, product engineering, production, logistics, sales, deliveries, etc.) into digitally automated processes, new concepts have been introduced in ... -
Towards long-term standardised carbon and greenhouse gas observations for monitoring Europe's terrestrial ecosystems: a review
(2018)Research infrastructures play a key role in launching a new generation of integrated long-term, geographically distributed observation programmes designed to monitor climate change, better understand its impacts on global ... -
Standardisation of chamber technique for CO2, N2O and CH4 fluxes measurements from terrestrial ecosystems
(2018)Chamber measurements of trace gas fluxes between the land surface and the atmosphere have been conducted for almost a century. Different chamber techniques, including static and dynamic, have been used with varying degrees ... -
Quality, prices and production efficiency: an exploratory study of italian wines with appellation of origin
(2018)Wine is a complex and highly differentiated product of a very wide and heterogeneous compartment, where quality plays an important role in determining demand. Wine production in Italy is unique in the world and important ...
