In this paper, we report simulation results of a top-emission organic light-emitting device (TOLED) with a passivation layer composed of silicon dioxide (SiO2) and silicon nitride (Si3N4) to protect organic layers from oxygen and moisture. Usually, the thickness of such a layer is about several micrometers. The electrode material of the device used for simulation is silver (Ag). The anode is th...

Every year, fee awards enable millions of people to obtain access to justice and strengthen the deterrent effect of the law by motivating lawyers to handle class actions. But little research exists on why judges award the amounts they do or whether they size fee awards correctly. The process remains a black box. Through a detailed study of 431 securities class actions that settled in federal di...

Candida albicans, a commensal organism and a pathogen of humans, can switch stochastically between a white phase and an opaque phase without an intermediate phase. The white and opaque phases have distinct cell shapes and gene expression programs. Once switched, each phase is stable for many cell divisions. White-opaque switching is under a1-alpha2 repression and therefore only happens in a or ...
