A novel polymer quantum dot derived from poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) and its application for sensing and optical imaging by Xu, Qian

“…However, they suffer from several intrinsic drawbacks like rapid photo-bleaching making it difficult to carry out long-term imaging. Semiconductor quantum dots (semi-QDs) have been regarded as alternatives, but they may possess some limitations, including cytotoxicity, carcinogenicity, and too-large size. …”

Global competition for upstream investment: key test for Latin America’s policymakers by Conway, T

“…In August, Mexico completed far-reaching energy reform; many in the industry had long hoped for this, but it had seemed politically unthinkable even after President Enrique Peña Nieto had submitted his proposal to the legislature a year earlier.…”

Automation and the displacement of labor by capital: asset pricing theory and empirical evidence by Knesl, J

“…Empirically, I find that firms with high share of displaceable labor have negative exposure to technology shocks. A long-short portfolio sorted on this variable mimics macroeconomic measures of technology shocks. …”

Introduction - Oxford Energy Forum – Issue, 97

“…The editors have endeavoured to provide commentary on the political and economic context for energy developments, while also inviting recognized specialists to comment on the host of issues – from long-term upstream oil issues to Russia’s domestic electricity market – that are sometimes neglected by big-picture analysis.…”

The GCC states need to focus on green actions, not climate vulnerabilities by Luomi, M

“…In terms of sustainable energy, the Gulf has come a long way since 2008. Resource efficiency programmes, alternative energy projects, clean technology research, sustainable building codes, public transport systems, and green economy strategies are now part of everyday news in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Qatar, and Saudi Arabia. …”

A crosstalk-immune sub-THz All-surface-wave I/O transceiver in 65-nm CMOS by Liang, Yuan, Boon, Chirn Chye, Yu, Hao

“…It is further integrated into the all-surface-wave I/O with a surface-wave transmission line and matching converter. Measured results show that the proposed dual-channel I/O delivers a localized 140 GHz surface-wave signal, demonstrating crosstalk-immune on-chip transmission by supporting 13.5 Gb/s data-rate communication with 2.6 PJ/bit Power efficiency and a bit-error rate less than 10^(-12).…”
