Two-dimensional layered semiconducting chalcogenides (such as MoS2) have attracted attention due to their having an intrinsically high carrier mobility, mechanical flexibility, and a finite bandgap. However, improvements for MoS2 transistors have been hampered by the presence of a Schottky barrier…
However, conventional thin-film materials limit the use of such thin-film transistors in flexible backplane-circuitry due to their fragility and relatively low mobility.

In this research, we investigated the high-temperature electrical behavior of a MoS2 transistor with a high Schottky barrier…High temperature leads to a larger thermionic emission that transports electrons over the energy barrier.

The simulation of the non-linear behaviour of the composite materials is an open problem because of the complex phenomena that occur at the microscale level. The random distribution of defects in the matrix makes difficult to evaluate the effect of their interactions. For this reason, composite models with periodic distribution of heterogeneities are adopted in order to understand basic aspects of the composite non-linear behaviour. In this paper, a new method is presented for micromechanical finite elementanalysis of unidirectional composites according to the second approach. The numerical analysis of the infinitely extended periodic composite is performed on a small part of it, namely half of the unit cell, making the method efficient in terms of processing time. The proposed method results especially effective in time-dependent analyses and can be easily used in commercial FEM software: with respect to other methods available in literature, it requires only the setting of suitable boundary conditions for half of the unit cell, without modifying the software source code.

Antilock braking systems are designed to control the wheel slip, such that the braking force is maximized and steerability is maintained during braking. However, the control of antilock braking systems is a challenging problem due to nonlinear braking dynamics and the uncertain and time-varying nature of the parameters. This paper presents an adaptive neural network-based hybrid controller for antilock braking systems. The hybrid controller is based on the well-known feedback linearization, combined with two feedforward neural networks that are proposed so as to learn the nonlinearities of the antilock braking system associated with feedback linearization controller. The adaptation law is derived based on the structure of the controller, using steepest descent gradient approach and backpropagation algorithm to adjust the networks weights. The weight adaptation is online and the stability of the proposed controller in the sense of Lyapunov is studied. Simulations are conducted to show the effectiveness of the proposed controller under various road conditions and parameter uncertainties.

Reviewer Comment: In your analysis of the data you have chosen to use a somewhat obscure fitting function (regression). In my opinion, a simple Gaussian function would have sufficed. Moreover, the results would be more instructive and easier to compare to previous results.
Response: We agree with the reviewer’s assessment of the analysis. Our tailored function, in its current form, makes it difficult to tell that this measurement constitutes a significant improvement over previously reported values. We describe our new analysis using a Gaussian fitting function in our revised Results section (Page 6, Lines 12–18).

Response: Although a simple Gaussian fit would facilitate comparison with the results of other studies, our tailored function allows for the analysis of the data in terms of the Smith model [Smith et al., 1998]. We have now explained the use of this function and the Smith model in our revised Discussion section (Page 12, Lines 2–6).

Peer review
Reviewer comment: Currently, the authors’ conclusion that their new material is suitable for all tropical conditions is not completely valid because they only evaluated its efficiency in Asia. This material should also be tested in other tropical regions in Africa and/or South America.
