The trouble with too many rock movies is that whatever the subplots, the visual and dramatic realization of actual performance constrains the imaginative power of the music, just as rock videos do.
Although large-scale, high-quality graphene is now available, the realization of high performance graphene devices is still challenging.
The realization of the performance improvement promised by cooperation in wireless mesh and relay networks depends heavily on resource allocation (among other things).
In other words, teams may ignore the designed interdependence if it does not lead to a superior realization of their performance objectives.
This successful demonstration of organic photovoltaics (OPVs) using the one-step process is an important step towards the realization of high performance, roll-to-roll compatible OPVs.
Intensive studies in recent decades have provided a great deal of insight into the important role of interface engineering in graphene systems, and have opened up opportunities for the realization of high performance graphene devices.
The unique ability of control over the refractive index of thin film materials allows one to close the refractive index gap between 1 (n air ~ 1) and ~1.39 (n MgF2) at visible wavelengths, thus to overcome fundamental limitations in the realization of ultimate performance of optical components and optoelectronic devices due to the unavailability of materials with desired refractive indices [61].
Recent advances in materials science and mechanical engineering enable the realization of high performance piezoelectric systems in soft, flexible/stretchable formats, with unique opportunities for use in bio-integrated applications, from mechanical energy harvesting to sensing and actuation.
Semiconductor nanowires (NWs) are attractive for the fabrication of nanoscale devices such as nanowire solar cells (NWSCs) and sensors, but some of the main issues pertaining to the realization of high performance devices is doping and control or modification of the surface properties which are important in view of the large surface to volume ratio [1].
The capacity of soil to perform any of the seven identified functions and to support their associated ecosystem services depends on its physical, biological, and chemical attributes (i.e., "internal" characteristics), while the realization of the performance is conditioned by natural (e.g., slope steepness) and/or anthropogenic factors ("external" controls).
