Finite-Time and Fixed-Time Synchronization of Delayed Memristive Neural Networks via Adaptive Aperiodically Intermittent Adjustment Strategy.

This article investigates the finite-time and fixed-time synchronization for memristive neural networks (MNNs) with mixed time-varying delays under the adaptive aperiodically intermittent adjustment strategy. Different from previous works, this article first employs the aperiodically intermittent adjustment feedback control and adaptive control to drive the MNNs to achieve synchronization in finite time and fixed time. First of all, according to the theories of set-valued mappings and differential inclusions, the error MNNs is derived, and its finite-time and fixed-time stability problems are discussed by applying the Lyapunov function method and some LMI techniques.

Disintegrable, transparent and mechanically robust high-performance antimony tin oxide/nanocellulose/polyvinyl alcohol thermal insulation films.

Polymer-based thermal insulation films are widely utilized to reduce the influence of solar radiation. However, current thermal insulation films face several challenges from poor thermal insulation performance and severe environmental pollution, which are caused by the non-disintegratability of polymer substrates. Here, cellulose nanofiber (CNF)/antimony tin oxide (ATO) hybrid films with and without polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) are presented and they can be used as window thermal barrier films and personal thermal management textiles.

Leveraging interdependencies among platform and complementors in innovation ecosystem.

In the platform-based innovation ecosystem, the symbiotic evolution and interaction between the participating entities have drawn extensive attention. However, there is a lack of understanding of the co-specialization and co-innovation among members of the innovation ecosystem. This paper addresses this gap.

Highly Thermally Stable, Green Solvent Disintegrable, and Recyclable Polymer Substrates for Flexible Electronics.

Flexible electronics require its substrate to have adequate thermal stability, but current thermally stable polymer substrates are difficult to be disintegrated and recycled; hence, generate enormous electronic solid waste. Here, a thermally stable and green solvent-disintegrable polymer substrate is developed for flexible electronics to promote their recyclability and reduce solid waste generation. Thanks to the proper design of rigid backbones and rational adjustments of polar and bulky side groups, the polymer substrate exhibits excellent thermal and mechanical properties with thermal decomposition temperature (T ) of 430 °C, upper operating temperature of over 300 °C, coefficient of thermal expansion of 48 ppm K , tensile strength of 103 MPa, and elastic modulus of 2.

Don't Be Afraid to Fail Because You Can Learn From It! How Intrinsic Motivation Leads to Enhanced Self-Development and Benevolent Leadership as a Boundary Condition.

Employee learning from failures is key to effective employee functioning and long-term sustainable development. Although failure is an essential part of the learning process, it is less certain of why individuals would learn from failures and the benefits associated with it. Thus, it is significant to explore the cause and the consequence of learning from failures.

Career Success Criteria Clarity as a Predictor of Employment Outcomes.

Drawing on the goal-setting theory and social cognitive career theory (SCCT), this study empirically proposes an operational definition of career success criteria clarity (CSCC) and further explores its impact on career satisfaction, person-job fit, and subjective well-being through the mediating role of career decision-making self-efficacy (CDSE). A pilot study of 231 samples showed that the CSCC scale had good reliability and validity. To further test the effects of CSCC on crucial employment outcomes, as well as the mediating role of CDSE, 240 employees were included in an additional survey.

Highly Transparent, Highly Thermally Stable Nanocellulose/Polymer Hybrid Substrates for Flexible OLED Devices.

Flexible organic light-emitting diode (OLED) devices based on polymer substrates have attracted worldwide attention. However, the current OLED polymer substrates are limited due to weak thermal stability, which is not compatible with the high temperature in OLED fabrication. Here, we developed a novel nanocellulose/polyarylate (PAR) hybrid polymer substrate with both high transparency and excellent thermal properties.

Binding Conductive Ink Initiatively and Strongly: Transparent and Thermally Stable Cellulose Nanopaper as a Promising Substrate for Flexible Electronics.

For flexible electronics, the substrates play key roles in ensuring their performance. However, most substrates suffer from weak bonding with the conductive ink and need additional aids. Here, inspired by the Ag-S bond theory, a novel cellulose nanopaper substrate is presented to improve the bond strength with the Ag nanoparticle ink through a facile printing method.
