论王畿的 “三教合一” 观 = Wang Ji's thought and "Unity of the Three Teachings" by 陈碧琪 Tan, BiQi

“…“Unity of the Three Teachings” is a controversial concept, and its impact can be seen in both the philosophical world and society. This idea has a long history, but it is when Wang Yangming created the “School of the Heart-Mind” did “Unity of the Three Teachings” reach a new height in the Ming Dynasty.…”

Characterization of nickel-titanium based thin films crystallized by fast and ultra-fast annealing methods by Motemani Sharabiani, Yahya

“…The first part of the study is concerned with describing and correlating the evolution of structural, surfacial and nano-scale mechanical properties of amorphous Ti-Ni-Cu thin films crystallized by rapid thermal annealing (RTA), where the treatment takes place under a protected atmosphere by electromagnetic irradiation with fast heating rate (< 100 oC/sec). Long range order of amorphous Ti-Ni-Cu thin films was achieved in a few seconds (> 60 sec), with the optimum crystallization temperature of 480oC. …”

Robotic assisted upper limb training post stroke : a randomized control trial using combinatory approach toward reducing workforce demands by Budhota, Aamani, Chua, Karen S. G., Hussain, Asif, Kager, Simone, Cherpin, Adèle, Contu, Sara, Vishwanath, Deshmukh, Kuah, Christopher W. K., Ng, Chwee Yin, Yam, Lester H. L., Loh, Yong Joo, Rajeswaran, Deshan Kumar, Xiang, Liming, Burdet, Etienne, Campolo, Domenico

“…Both groups received 18 sessions of 90 min; three sessions per week over 6 weeks. In each session, participants of the CT group received 90 min of 1:1 therapist-supervised conventional therapy while participants of the RT group underwent combinatory training which consisted of 60 min of minimally-supervised H-Man therapy followed by 30 min of conventional therapy. …”

The Curve of Inflation Expectations and Firms’ Investments by Perinelli, Giuditta

“…Starting from empirical evidence embedded in firms’ inflation expectation curve, we obtain 3 main findings: (1) firms extrapolate for long forecasting horizons, (2) inflation forecasts overreact (underreact) at long (short) forecasting horizons, (3) long-term inflation expectations impact investment decisions. …”

HiPIMS deposition of VO2 thermochromic coating for enhanced optical properties by Vu, Tuan Duc

“…In chapter 4, a HiPIMS deposition technique for VO2(M) thin film on a commercial material, such as soda-lime glass substrate, was established with a high deposition rate of 5.7 nm/min. The VO2(M) deposited on soda-lime glass exhibits excellent crystallinity and thermochromic properties (highest luminous transmission Tlum ≈ 30.4%, and solar modulation ΔTsol ≈ 12%) in comparison with similarly prepared VO2 on high temperature glass and quartz substrates. …”
