A highly reliable reverse-trapezoid-structured polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is demonstrated to achieve mechanically enhanced amorphous indium-gallium-zinc oxide (a-IGZO) thin-film-transistors (TFTs) for skin-compatible electronics. Finite element analysis (FEA) simulation reveals that the stress within a-IGZO TFTs can be efficiently reduced compared conventional substrates. Based on results, a p...

In a dynamic six-component library, the formation of the rather weak HETPYP-I complexation can be enforced by exploiting the orthogonality and high stability of its counterpart in the sorting process, a HETTAP complex. The concept was used in a follow-up integrative self-sorting, enabling the formation of two five-component supramolecular structures: a trapezoid and a scalene triangle.

The study of the dihedral f-tilings of the sphere S whose prototiles are an equilateral or isosceles triangle and an isosceles trapezoid was described in [6]. In this paper we generalize this classification presenting the study of all dihedral spherical f-tilings by scalene triangles and isosceles trapezoids in some cases of adjacency.

The structure and functions of the modern human hand are critical components of what distinguishes Homo sapiens from the great apes (Gorilla, Pan, and Pongo). In this study, attention is focused on the trapezium and trapezoid, the two most lateral bones of the distal carpal row, in the four extant hominid genera, representing the first time they have been quantified and analyzed together as a m...

Surface soil moisture (SM) plays a fundamental role in energy and water partitioning in the soil–plant–atmosphere continuum. A reliable and operational algorithm is much needed to retrieve regional surface SM at high spatial and temporal resolutions. Here, we provide an operational framework of estimating surface SM at fine spatial resolutions (using visible/thermal infrared images and concurre...

Accurate quantification of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) a given observational phenomenon is central to associated calculations sensitivity, yield, completeness and occurrence rate. Within field exoplanets, SNR transit has been widely assumed be formula that one would obtain by assuming boxcar light curve, yielding an form $(\delta/\sigma_0) \sqrt{D}$. In this work, general framework outlined...
