CES 2014 Display Developments

Plasma display panels: physics, recent developments and key issues

In this paper, we describe the principles of operation of a plasma display panel (PDP) and the physical mechanisms controlling the performances of a PDP in terms of light emission efficiency, lifetime and image quality. Emphasis is put on the physics of the plasma occurring in a PDP cell, on the discharge optimization, and on the analysis of recent results provided by experimental and numerical...

Recent developments in the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction: 2010-2014.

The Suzuki-Miyaura reaction (SMR), involving the coupling of an organoboron reagent and an organic halide or pseudo-halide in the presence of a palladium or nickel catalyst and a base, has arguably become one of most utilized tools for the construction of a C-C bond. This review intends to be general account of all types of catalytic systems, new coupling partners and applications, including th...

RoboCup Humanoid League Rule Developments 2002-2014 and Future Perspectives

This paper describes the major achievements in the history of the RoboCup Humanoid League from its start in 2002 to 2014. We provide a perspective for the future of the league with a strong push towards larger robots and FIFA-like playing fields. We also discuss some risks associated with these intended changes.

Production Functions Having the Ces Property

To what measure does the CES (constant elasticity of substitution) property determine production functions? We show that it is not possible to find explicitly all two variable production functions f(x, y) having the CES property. This slightly generalizes the result of R. Sato [16]. We show that if a production function is a quasi-sum then the CES property determines only the functional forms o...
