In PISA(Programme for International Student Assessment), scientific literacy is defined as : an individual' s scientific knowledge and use of that knowledge to identify questions, to acquire new knowledge, to explain scientific phenomena, and to draw evidence-based conclusions about science-related issues, understanding of the characteristic features of science as a form of human knowledge and enquiry, awareness of how science and technology shape our material, intellectual, and cultural environments, and willingness to engage in science-related issues, and with the issues of science, as a reflective citizen.  3, record 1, English, - scientific%20literacy

A flexible organic light-emitting diode(... or FOLED) is an organic light-emitting device designed with flexible material, such as a reflective metal foil or clear plastic film, instead of the heavier glass used in cathode ray tube(CRT) computer displays. FOLEDs are very useful for portable devices, such as laptop computers and wall-mounted screens because they are relatively easy and inexpensive to produce and require little energy.  4, record 3, English, - flexible%20organic%20light%2Demitting%20diode

Remote Sensing is the science and art of acquiring information(spectral, spatial, temporal) about material objects, area, or phenomenon, without coming into physical contact with the objects, or area, or phenomenon under investigation.... In remote sensing, information transfer is accomplished by use of electromagnetic radiation(EMR). EMR is a form of energy that reveals its presence by the observable effects it produces when it strikes the matter.... Types [of remote sensing] in respect to the type of energy resources. Passive remote sensing makes use of sensors that detect the reflected or emitted electro-magnetic radiation from natural sources. Active remote sensing makes use of sensors that detect reflected responses from objects that are irradiated from artificially-generated energy sources, such as radar.... In respect to wavelength regions, remote sensing is categorized as follows : visible and reflective infrared remote sensing, thermal infrared remote sensing and microwave remote sensing.  6, record 9, English, - electromagnetic%20remote%20sensing

Like a VCSEL [vertical cavity surface-emitting laser], an RCLED [resonant cavity light emitting diode] contains a very thin optical cavity, formed by sandwiching a layer of active material between two multilayer mirrors. However, since the device doesn’t actually lase, the mirrors don’t need to be as highly reflective as they are in VCSELs. That means the mirrors are composed of fewer layers--the main reason the thing is easier to make.  2, record 10, English, - multilayer%20mirror
