Organic ferroelectric memory devices based on resistive switching by Damar Yoga Kusuma

“…This approach accelerates the switching kinetics as polarization reversal shifts from the nucleation-limited regime to the growth-limited regime. On the other hand, mutual combination of SAM’s fixed dipole and ferroelectric’s polarizable dipole is employed to realize ferroelectric field effect transistor devices with tailored operational parameters, reduced charge trapping and improved retention stability. …”

Tectono-stratigraphic evolution of the foreland fold-and-thrust belt of the United Arab Emirates by Abdelmaksoud, A, Ali, MY, Searle, MP

“…Two different tectonic regimes are identified in the FTB. The northern regime is characterized by major inversion of the rift faults with up to 3,700 m throw, whereas the southern regime has a major pop-up structure with possible basement origin. …”

Factors affecting trans-scleral transport of poly (butadiene-b-ethylene oxide) polymersomes by Anita, Vincent

“…Periocular drug delivery presents an alternative treatment strategy for posterior segment eye disease (PSEDs) by administering drugs into the periocular space surrounding the eye orbit; the drugs then diffuse from this space across the sclera and choroid into the posterior segment of the eye, allowing for improved bioavailability and therapeutic effect. …”
