TL;DR: The random first-order transition theory of the glass transition is reviewed, emphasizing the experimental tests of the theory and the distinct phenomena quantitatively predicted or explained by the theory.
Abstract: We review the random first-order transition theory of the glass transition, emphasizing the experimental tests of the theory. Many distinct phenomena are quantitatively predicted or explained by the theory, both above and below the glass transition temperature Tg. These include the following: the viscosity catastrophe and heat-capacity jump at Tg, and their connection; the nonexponentiality of relaxations and their correlation with the fragility; dynamic heterogeneity in supercooled liquids owing to the mosaic structure; deviations from the Vogel-Fulcher law, connected with strings or fractal cooperative rearrangements; deviations from the Stokes-Einstein relation close to Tg; aging and its correlation with fragility; and the excess density of states at cryogenic temperatures owing to two-level tunneling systems and the Boson peak.

TL;DR: In this paper, a specific conceptual understanding of regulation of motivation is proposed and used to clarify theoretical distinctions between this process and motivation, metacognition, and volition, as well as a guide for additional research related to the theoretical definition, measurement, development and instruction of strategies for regulating motivation.
Abstract: Self-regulated learning is often described as a function of students' motivation, cognitive strategy use, and metacognition. The purpose of this article is to emphasize regulation of motivation as another important aspect of self-regulated learning. To achieve this goal, a specific conceptual understanding of regulation of motivation is proposed and used to clarify theoretical distinctions between this process and motivation, metacognition, and volition. In addition, the diverse nature of this regulatory activity is established by reviewing evidence showing students' use of several specific strategies for the regulation of motivation. The importance of this process is highlighted by discussing links between these regulatory strategies and indicators of students' motivation, cognitive engagement, and achievement. Finally, a guide for additional research related to the theoretical definition, measurement, development and instruction of strategies for regulating motivation is identified.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the unique square planar Cu atoms, each surrounded by four or six oxygen atoms, are crucial to the superconductivity of oxides in general.
Abstract: Superconductivity has been found in the 90-K range in ABa2Cu3O(6 + x) with A = La, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Ho, Er, and Lu in addition to Y. The results suggest that the unique square-planar Cu atoms, each surrounded by four or six oxygen atoms, are crucial to the superconductivity of oxides in general. In particular, the high Tc of ABa2Cu3O(6 + x) is attributed mainly to the quasi-two-dimensional assembly of the CuO2-Ba-CuO(2 + x)Ba-CuO2 layers sandwiched between two A layers, with particular emphasis in the CuO(2 + x) layers. Higher-Tc oxides are predicted for compounds with bigger assemblies of CuO2 layers coupled by Ba layers.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a comprehensive overview of wireless charging techniques, the developments in technical standards, and their recent advances in network applications, with regard to network applications and discuss open issues and challenges in implementing wireless charging technologies.
Abstract: Wireless charging is a technology of transmitting power through an air gap to electrical devices for the purpose of energy replenishment. The recent progress in wireless charging techniques and development of commercial products have provided a promising alternative way to address the energy bottleneck of conventionally portable battery-powered devices. However, the incorporation of wireless charging into the existing wireless communication systems also brings along a series of challenging issues with regard to implementation, scheduling, and power management. In this paper, we present a comprehensive overview of wireless charging techniques, the developments in technical standards, and their recent advances in network applications. In particular, with regard to network applications, we review the static charger scheduling strategies, mobile charger dispatch strategies and wireless charger deployment strategies. Additionally, we discuss open issues and challenges in implementing wireless charging technologies. Finally, we envision some practical future network applications of wireless charging.
