Judging a book by its cover: cultural differences in inference of the inner state based on the outward appearance by Ji, Li-Jun, Lee, Albert, Zhang, Zhiyong, Li, Ye, Wang, Xin-Qiang, Torok, Debra, Rosenbaum, Sam

“…We showed that Chinese were more likely than Euro-Canadians to make inference of inner state that deviated from outward appearance, whereas Euro-Canadians were more likely than Chinese to infer a convergence between outward appearance and inner state (Studies 1-5). We observed these cross-cultural patterns in various contexts involving people or physical structures. …”

Tunable anti-ambipolar vertical bilayer organic electrochemical transistor enable neuromorphic retinal pathway by Laswick, Zachary, Wu, Xihu, Surendran, Abhijith, Zhou, Zhongliang, Ji, Xudong, Matrone, Giovanni Maria, Leong, Wei Lin, Rivnay, Jonathan

“…In this work, a general approach for tuning anti-ambipolar characteristics is presented through assembly of a p-n bilayer in a vertical OECT (vOECT) architecture. The vertical OECT design reduces device footprint, while the bilayer material tuning controls the anti-ambipolarity characteristics, allowing control of the device's on and off threshold voltages, and peak position, while reducing size thereby enabling tunable threshold spiking neurons and logic gates. …”

Zinc oxide ultraviolet light-emitting devices : design and fabrication by Yuen, Clement

“…This is because the FCVA technique has major advantages: 1) The lattice-matching requirement between the substrate and the deposited film is not needed, 2) it is a low-temperature deposition process (<350 oC) due to the high kinetic energies of the deposited species, 3) it allows the fabrication of thin films on large substrates (as large as 6” in diameter), 4) it provides freedom of choices in the target materials for the fabrication of doped and undoped films, since the stoichiometry of the deposited films are independent of that of the targets, 5) it produces microparticle-free thin films, and 6) it is a cost-effective technique to fabricate thin films that is well established and accepted by the industry for mass production.…”
