A completely flexible organic transistor obtained by a one-mask photolithographic process
No full textAn organic FET structure for unconventional substrates
No full textABSTRACTA structure for organic TFTs suitable for being transferred on unusual substrates is described in each technological step. The proposed device consists in a “bottom-structure” assembled on a flexible and transparent insulating layer, without any substrate, with source and drain contacts on one side and the gate on the opposite side. The main advantage is to avoid the substrate because the insulator itself is able to support the whole structure. For this reason, application to any kind of substrates after the built-in process is possible.</jats:p
Delusions and Responsibility for Action: Insights from the Breivik Case
No full textWhat factors should be taken into account when attributing criminal responsibility to perpetrators of severe crimes? We discuss the Breivik case, and the considerations which led to holding Breivik accountable for his criminal acts. We put some pressure on the view that experiencing certain psychiatric symptoms or receiving a certain psychiatric diagnosis is sufficient to establish criminal insanity. We also argue that the presence of delusional beliefs, often regarded as a key factor in determining responsibility, is neither necessary nor sufficient for criminal insanity. © 2013 The Author(s)

Linking The Philosophy Of Gotong Royong To Contemporary Indonesian Product Design
No full textThis article examines the relationship between Gotong Royong, a traditional Indonesian philosophy of cooperation, and contemporary sustainable product design in Indonesia. From a design research perspective, this paper aims to investigate the potential for integrating Gotong Royong principles into the practices of designing and manufacturing ecologically and socially conscious products. This paper seeks to analyze how reconsidering traditional concepts of collaboration, shared local resource utilisation, and community-centric approaches can facilitate transformative changes in product consumption. The author examines the potential and challenges of design thinking practices and business models that involve local knowledge and communities to result in sustainable and regenerative products. Already well-researched social enterprise models of sustainable and regenerative design, such as fair-trade practices and profit reinvestment concepts, are complemented by the Gotong Royong concept. By aligning the principles of Gotong Royong with contemporary design ventures, Indonesian product design practices can become role models for sustainable, inclusive, and culturally resonant practices that bridge tradition and innovation in Southeast Asia and internationally. This would contribute to the relevance of design practices for our anthropogenic (future) realities
Characterization of a hybrid closed loop thermosyphon : pulsating heat pipe for ground and space applications
No full textLAUREA MAGISTRALEA novel type of multi-evaporator Closed Loop Two Phase Thermosyphon/Pulsating Heat Pipe hybrid device has been designed for passive heat exchange and tested at different inclinations, heat input power and gravity field levels. The device consists in an aluminum tube, bent into the shape of a planar serpentine with five U-turns in the heated zone, with a transparent section in the condenser for the purpose of visualization. The tube is filled with FC-72 with a 50% filling ratio. Each evaporator turn is equipped with an electric wiring heater to simulate a thermal load and the choice of a specific location of the heating sections can induce the fluid to circulate regularly in a preferential direction. The experimental setup allows for temperature, pressure, acceleration and power supply readings and recording, as well as high-speed video capture on ground and in parabolic flight. The device’s performance and its operational limits have been tested on ground, in micro- and hypergravity conditions. In microgravity, the sudden absence of the buoyancy forces activates an oscillating slug/plug flow, allowing the device to work as a pulsating heat-pipe (PHP) also when horizontally placed. On the ground, the asymmetric heating placement proves to be a step forward in increasing the device’s operational stability and the maximum heat flux that can be introduced before incurring in a thermal crisis. The research objective is to contribute to the characterization of this relatively new kind of heat transfer solution, both for ground and space applications. The results described have been published in three academic papers, two of which were co-authored by the author of this thesis. A fourth paper is currently submitted for review to a scientific journal
Re-invigorating the photo album: augmenting printed photobooks with digital media

The datasets generated during and/or analysed during the current study are not publicly available due to the sensitive nature of the content (i.e. multimedia depicting personal family holidays), but additional select anonymised examples are available from the corresponding author on reasonable request.The photo album emerged in the late 1800s as place to collect portrait photos of visitors to a home, and was later appropriated by Kodak as a visual chronology of family history. With digital photography, the album has largely been replaced by online repositories of images shared on social media, and the selective printing of photobooks. In this paper, we present a ‘next-generation paper’ authoring system for annotating photobooks with multimedia content viewed on a nearby smartphone. We also report the results of a trial of this system, by nine travellers who used it to make augmented photobooks following a trip. These findings show that the augmented physical-and-digital photobook can heighten awareness of the multisensory aspects of travel, enrich memories, and enhance social interaction around photos. The social and technical implications for the future of the photo album are discussed.The work was funded by a Covid-extension grant linked to the Next Generation Paper project (EP/P02579X/1) under grant number UKRI CoA RN0451 at the University of Surrey
