Summary: The melting properties of two kinds of glass substrates for TFT-LCD and OLED were investigated, with tin dioxide showing better fining effect. It took more time for the OLED substrate to reach a steady state in the fining process due to higher viscosity and surface tension.

Summary: A new process of crystallizing amorphous silicon without melting is proposed, which includes adding a molybdenum layer to control crystallite size and achieve high-quality crystallization at low temperature. Simulations show that the transfer of energy from the molybdenum layer to the silicon film can lead to crystallization of amorphous silicon at temperatures lower than its melting point.

Summary: This paper proposes a lightweight YOLO-ADPAM detection method based on an attention mechanism to solve the problem of unable to correctly evaluate the number and type of mura defects on the image in the field inspection of TFT-LCD panels. The proposed method utilizes a clustering algorithm and a parallel attention module to improve the accuracy and stability of bounding box regression and enhance the detection accuracy of the algorithm. Experimental results show that the proposed YOLO-ADPAM algorithm achieves a mAP of 98.20% and a detection speed of 83.23 FPS, meeting the accuracy and real-time requirements of TFT-LCD defect detection tasks.

Summary: This study examines the topological structure and COVID-19 related risk propagation in TFT-LCD supply networks. The results show that TFT-LCD supply networks have a 'hub and spoke' feature and a 'robust-yet-fragile' configuration. Additionally, hidden risky sources in the main TFT-LCD manufacturers and suppliers and in interfirm cooperations are revealed. These findings will help managers reduce vulnerability and create more robust and resilient networks.

Summary: Tetramethylammonium Hydroxide (TMAH) is widely used in the TFT-LCD industry, and this study evaluated the treatment of synthetic and real TMAH wastewater using combined hydrolysis acidification-aerobic and anaerobic batch reactors. The results showed stable TMAH degradation with high organic carbon removal efficiencies. Microbial community analysis indicated mixed microbes played a role in TMAH degradation, with anaerobic treatment being favored.

Summary: The controllable nanogap structures enable strong and adjustable localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR). A novel hierarchical plasmonic nanostructure (HPN) is created using colloidal lithography with a rotating coordinate system. The HPN increases the density of hot spots and enhances LSPR tunability and field enhancement. The hot spot engineering strategy of HPNs is demonstrated in surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) applications and allows single-molecule level detection and long-range mapping, providing a platform and guidance for various LSPR applications.

Summary: In this study, a method for analyzing waste organic solvents from thin-film-transistor liquid-crystal display (TFT-LCD) production was designed, including Karl Fischer analysis for moisture, gas chromatography for organic compounds, and evaporation for photoresist and other solids. Through the analysis results, the composition rule and common characteristics of waste organic solvents were summarized. This study provides a good strategy and optimized method for improving the efficiency of organic solvent recovery.

Summary: Persistent airflow limitation in children and young adults is a term that encompasses various biological and clinical manifestations starting before birth and throughout the lifespan. Events occurring during the first years of life play a key role in predicting lung function trend. Asthma and lower respiratory tract infections are major factors that contribute to airflow limitation, but the association between early-life respiratory infections and the risk of wheezing or asthma in later life remains unknown.

Summary: By studying the effect of edge plasma density on hot spot and current drive in EAST, it was found that the hot spot is mainly related to edge density and LH power, while stronger parametric instability behavior leads to a decrease in current drive capability.

Summary: In this study, the most updated catalog of Io hot spots based on Juno/JIRAM data is presented. A total of 242 hot spots were found, including 23 previously undetected ones. Most of the new hot spots were located at high latitudes (>70 degrees). There was a latitudinal variability and a higher concentration of hot spots in the polar regions, especially in the North. The comparison with previous hot spot catalogs showed that JIRAM detected a high percentage of the total number of hot spots and confirmed the activity of some faint hot spots.

Summary: This study investigates the influence of hot-spots on photocatalytic reactions by controlling the interparticle distances. It is found that reducing the gap can significantly increase the reaction rate, but further reduction in the distance does not improve the rate significantly. The findings provide valuable insights in designing novel plasmonic photocatalytic platforms.
