Polymers in Electronics: Optoelectronic Properties, Design, Fabrication, and Applications brings together the fundamentals and latest advances in polymeric materials for electronic device applications, supporting researchers, scientists and advanced students, and approaching the topic from a range of disciplines. The book begins by introducing polymeric materials, their dielectric, optical, and thermal properties, and the essential principles and techniques for polymers as applied to electronics. This is followed by detailed coverage of the key steps in the preparation of polymeric materials for opto-electronic devices, including fabrication methods, materials design, rheology, encapsulation, and conductive polymer mechanisms. The final part of the book focuses on the latest developments in advanced devices, covering the areas of photovoltaics, transistors, light-emitting diodes, and stretchable electronics. In addition, it explains mechanisms, design, fabrication techniques, and end applications. This is a highly valuable resource for researchers, advanced students, engineers and R&D professionals from a range of disciplines. Offers introductory coverage of polymeric materials for electronics, including principles, design, properties, fabrication and applications Focuses on key issues such as materials selection, structure-property relationships and challenges in application Explores advanced applications of polymers in photovoltaics, transistors, sensors, light-emitting diodes and stretchable electronics
Chipless RFID Authentication examines the development of highly secure product authentication systems for manufactured products by using chipless radio frequency identification (RFID) technology. The absence of a chip and its compatibility with mass production make chipless RFID an alternative to barcodes. This book discusses how, by using natural randomness inherent to the fabrication process, each chipless RFID tag has a unique signature that can never be reproduced, even if someone tries to copy the label. The book first explores the state-of-the-art of existing authentication and anti-counterfeiting methods based on their security level. Next, a methodology describing the characterization of chipless RFID tags for the authentication application is presented, followed by a discussion of the extraction of aspect-independent parameters for chipless RFID tags. After proposing designs for the tags, the book presents the realization and characterization of the labels (which exhibit naturally occurring randomness) for authentication, using printed circuit boards and inkjet printing on polyethylene terephthalate.
To find a suitable framework for the description of a previously undocumented language is all the more challenging in the case of a signed language. In this book, for the first time, an indigenous Asian sign language used in deaf communities in India and Pakistan is described on all linguistically relevant levels. This grammatical sketch aims at providing a concise yet comprehensive picture of the language. It covers a substantial part of Indopakistani Sign Language grammar. Topics discussed range from properties of individual signs to principles of discourse organization. Important aspects of morphological structure and syntactic regularities are summarized. Finally, sign language specific grammatical mechanisms such as spatially realized syntax and the use of facial expressions also figure prominently in this book. A 300-word dictionary with graphic representations of signs and a transcribed sample text complement the grammatical description. The cross-linguistic study of signed languages is only just beginning. Descriptive materials such as the ones presented in this book provide the necessary starting point for further empirical and theoretical research in this direction.

Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2016 in the subject Health - Public Health, , language: English, abstract: This study identified the most important factors affecting the patient satisfaction in the public sector hospitals in Lahore, Pakistan. Surveys and interviews were conducted with 100 patients in order to come out with primary data. Furthermore, an appropriately structured questionnaire was excerpted from the available literature, as well as expert opinions relating to patient satisfaction with healthcare professionals. The questionnaire data was then interpreted through SPSS-20. Background: Appropriate and improved strategies for quality assurance in the Punjab Public sector hospitals, Pakistan can be evolved with the appropriate understanding of factors influencing quality of medical service. Patient satisfaction is itself a critical controversy for the healthcare professionals/Government. Patient satisfaction is a complicated attitude because a horde of variables have been pinpointed as its interpreters. However, the study is aimed to ascertain the factors affecting the quality Healthcare services providers within Lahore Public Sector Hospitals, Punjab, Pakistan. Objective of the Study: The study was conducted chastely in the public interest and in order to facilitate the Govt. of Punjab, Pakistan to deal with its maximum potential to bring about ultimate satisfaction level of the patients with a foremost objective of providing fairly, attainable and effective healthcare services. The study was conducted - To analyze factors impacting patient satisfaction in Public sector hospitals - To rank the most important factors affecting patient satisfaction - To evaluate the necessary steps taken by the hospital administrators for patient satisfaction. Conclusion: The study ascertained the 30 most important factors resulting in poor level of patient satisfaction. Results identified that majority of the factors out of 30 factors lie in Medium and high Severity zone (with a rating between 3.4 to 4.2 out of total 5). These factors also require foremost attention by the Government. After pointing out the 30factors and their severity level, the study revealed the top 12 most important factors on the basis of Impact Factor and Relative Importance Index.
