High Yield Embedding of 30μm Thin Chips in a Flexible PCB using a Photopatternable Polyimide based Ultra-Thin Chip Package (UTCP)

Thinning down ICs is a well-known approach to reduce the volume of chip packages. In this work ICs are thinned down to 30um, followed by a package procedure in polyimide with copper fan out, which allows their embedding in adhesives used for laminating flexible printed circuit boards (PCBs). In this way the chip does not consume PCB area, hence other circuit components can be assembled on top or at the bottom of the chip, enabling extreme circuit miniaturization. Furthermore, our ultra-thin chip package (UTCP) is highly flexible, enabling flexible electronic circuits without large rigid chip packages. Spin-on photo-definable polyimide precursors are used to build an interposer which can be embedded later in the flexible PCB. The chip is fixed in between three polyimide layers using BCB as adhesive. The central polyimide layer forms a cavity for the chip, the top layer of polyimide is exposed and developed to fabricate vias contacting the chip. An 8um thick copper layer is deposited and patterned using lithography and etching to form the fan-out, essential to match the fine IC pitch to the larger PCB pitch. The final chip package is about 75um thick, and is easily embedded using only small adaptations of the standard flexible PCB fabrication process. Last year, both the UTCP concept and the embedding in a flexible PCB were optimized in order to obtain a very high yield. Three types of chips were UTCP-packaged and embedded in a flexible PCB: two types of microcontrollers (MSP430F1611 and a proprietary digital signal processor) and an RF-chip. The yield of the tested UTCPs ranges in between 65% (proprietary IC) and 85% (MSP430F1611). The performance of the RF-chips can only be tested after embedding in a flexible substrate. Although the testing is still ongoing, 95% of the embedded UTCPs are fully functional after embedding.
A bioenergetics model to evaluate demographic consequences of disturbance in marine mammals applied to gray whales

While sophisticated tools are used to monitor behavioral changes of large marine vertebrates, determining whether these changes are meaningful for management and conservation is challenging. The Population Consequences of Disturbance model proposed a bioenergetics model to detect biologically meaningful population responses, where disturbance costs are linked to lost energy. The model assumes that changes in behavior, caused by disturbance, compromise maternal condition, reducing energy delivery to offspring, leading to reduced reproduction, increased offspring mortality, and eventually increased adult mortality. Given its coastal habits and past whaling history, gray whales' (Eschrichtius robustus) life history and ecology are better known than for many other baleen whales. However, their preference for coastal habitat increases their exposure to human disturbance. We created a female gray whale bioenergetics model to determine energy requirements for a two-year reproductive cycle and determined the cons.
Toxicological Impact of Co-treatment with Rifampicin and Tenofovir on the Renal Function of Male Albino Rats

This experimental study comparatively evaluated the toxicological effects of treatment with tenofovir, rifampicin and tenofovir- rifampicin (TDF-RIF) combination on kidney function and histology of male albino rats. Male albino rats used in this study were divided into five (5) groups A-E of sixteen (16) animals each. Animals in group A, (placebo control) were treated orally with normal saline, group B (solvent control) were treated orally with 0.1% ethanol while groups C-E were treated orally with 80 mg/kg of RIF, 32 mg/kg of TDF and a combination of TDF- RIF for 2-8 weeks respectively. Animals were sacrificed at the end of drug therapy, blood sample was collected, centrifuged and serum extracted for creatinine, urea and, uric acid evaluation. Kidney was harvested, weighed and examined for histopathological changes. Treatment with tenofovir-rifampicin combination had no significant (p 0.05) time-dependent increases in serum creatinine, urea and uric acid levels were observed in animals treated with tenofovir-rifampicin combination when compared with treatment using individual doses of these drugs . Acute tubular necrosis, enlarged glomeruli and obliteration of the Bowman's capsule were observed in the kidneys of rats treated with tenofovir, rifampicin and a combination of tenofovir-rifampicin. This result shows that treatment with tenofovir-rifampicin combination in the management of human immunodeficiency virus /tuberculosis (HIV/TB) co-infection may not be associated with synergistic renal toxicity at the dose level used in this study.
The Unani Concept of Mizaj (temperament) and its Correlation with Biodiversity in Present Epoch- A Review

: Global biodiversities are very important characteristics of nature, which provide different variability among living organisms to all geographical areas including, terrestrial, marine, and other aquatic ecosystems etc. The origin of life as well as biodiversity on the earth was being the issue of contemplation up to now. In BC centuries, Greek philosophers also proposed different ratiocination regarding the same. They provided the knowledge about biodiversity and ecological system and what factors which are essential for their maintenance. Ancient philosophers explicated that the diversity within the species and ecosystems is based on the four basic constituents (fire, air, water and earth) and their temperament (hot, cold, dry and moist). Thus, this paper aims to interpret the significant thoughts of Greek philosophers with the present rational era of ecological knowledge.
Using Clustering Engine and Selectional Preference to Generate Targets in Conceptual Metonymies

The finding of the target for conceptual metonymy is critical for natural language understanding. We make use of the character of concept metonymy: it often occurs on the objects of verbs under the mode of “relevant vehicle instead of target”. The difficulties lie in this relevance of vehicle and target is embodied in real-world knowledge or subjective experience. We applied an integrated model for generating the targets of metonymies. First, clustering engine is queried to get the related words of the vehicle word. Second, word similarities between the verb-noun selectional restrictions and the related words are calculated to locate the target words. The experiments on typical metonymies achieved 0.67 and 0.79 for the precision and recall when the top3 candidates are evaluated.
Numerical Simulation of FermionicWave Functions in PotentialWells: Bound State Transitions induced by Multi-Photon Excitation from Laser Sources operating within the Non-Perturbative Regime

of the Thesis Numerical Simulation of Fermionic Wave Functions in Potential Wells: Bound State Transitions induced by Multi-Photon Excitation from Laser Sources operating within the Non-Perturbative Regime by Stephen Karasek Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering Northeastern University, April 2015 Dr. Charles DiMarzio, Adviser Energy state transitions leading to linear and nonlinear optical effects have had a major impact on many fields in optics since their discovery. We developed a numerical simulation to investigate how Time-Dependent Schrodinger Equations (TDSE) of electrons traveling within atomic and molecular potential wells, propagated with Finite Difference Methods, and excited with different types of laser sources, can show photonic output and the possibility of output which is nonlinear with respect to the excitation from the source. In particular, here we are interested in resonance conditions of these systems. The parameters of a laser source, as well as the source type, have a substantial impact on the wave equations of the particles within a system. With the right conditions, and knowledge of the systems current energy state, we can effectively choose what energy state to move the system to. We can likewise reduce the energy state by choosing conditions matching transitions to lower states, reducing the energy state of the system and stimulating photonic output. In this thesis we will show the effects of laser source conditions both in and out of resonance, in several different atomic systems with potential wells, and resulting photonic output from state transitions for each combination of parameters. The source will be strong enough to have a substantial impact on the system, thus leaving the perturbative range of intensity, yet not so strong as to completely overpower the system’s coulomb potential, staying out of reach of the strong field range of intensity where system potential wells are next to irrelevant.
Cultivating Third Party Development in Platform-centric Software Ecosystems: Extended Boundary Resources Model

Software ecosystems provide an effective way through which software solutions can be constructed by composing software components, typically applications, developed by internal and external developers on top of a software platform. Third party development increases the potential of a software ecosystem to effectively and quickly respond to context-specific software requirements. The boundary resources model gives a theoretical account for cultivation of third party development premised on the role of platform boundary resources such as application programming interfaces (API). However, from a longitudinal case study of the DHIS2 software ecosystem, this paper observes that no matter how good the boundary resources a software ecosystem provides, third party development remains a mere possibility until there exists adequate external generative capacity. Taking into consideration this observation, this paper contributes by extending the boundary resources model to foreground external generative capacity alongside boundary resources as factors that influence third party development.
A Review of Captcha and Graphical Passwords to Enhance Security and Usability to Next Level

: Sometimes user will have to go through extra exhaustive steps for registration as well as login as far as security issues are concerns. These registration steps are influenced with some Artificial Intelligence logics and some tedious mathematical calculations which make login process more secure. Though security of particular user is extended to some level it requires some extra jugglery for registration and login which may be a long process for users. Hence there must be system with an easy and effective approach to solve the problem of long process of registration and login which extends security level to next extend. To extend this security to next level new area is in limelight named Captcha as graphical password. Captcha is basically challenge and response technique designed to differentiate humans from automated programs. It contains some tasks which are easy to humans and difficult to bots. Hence new schemes should be explored for registration and login process and simplified with captcha as graphical password schemes. These new schemes must be explored in such a way so that online guessing attacks, shoulder-surfing attacks, relay attacks etc. should get solutions. Hence by using captcha as graphical password schemes, system should be strong enough as far as security is concern.
Unwrapping and stereo rectification for omnidirectional images

Omnidirectional imaging sensors have been used in more and more applications when a very large field of view is required. In this paper, we investigate the unwrapping, epipolar geometry and stereo rectification issues for omnidirectional vision when the particular mirror model and the camera parameters are unknown in priori. First, the omnidirectional camera is calibrated under the Taylor model, and the parameters related to this model are obtained. In order to make the classical computer vision algorithms of conventional perspective cameras applicable, the ring omnidirectional image is unwrapped into two kinds of panoramas: cylinder and cuboid. Then the epipolar geometry of arbitrary camera configuration is analyzed and the essential matrix is deduced with its properties being indicated for ring images. After that, a simple stereo rectification method based on the essential matrix and the conformal mapping is proposed. Simulations and real data experimental results illustrate that our methods are effective for the omnidirectional camera under the constraint of a single view point.
Chemoembolization Combined with RFA for HCC:Survival Benefits and Tumor Treatment Response

Purpose: To investigate survival benefits and tumor treatment response among patients who received treatment with transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) combined with radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and TACE alone. Materials and Methods: A total of 108 HCC patients were treated with TACE between the period of 1998 and 2008. 51 (47.2%) received TACE followed by planned RFA and 57 (52.8%) received TACE alone. 57 patients received Precision TACE with Doxorubicin drug eluting beads and 51 received conventional TACE. Survival analysis was performed using Kaplan Meier Estimator with a log rank test, Fischer exact test was performed for categorical variables and the t test for continuous variables. Results: Mean MELD (Model for End Stage Liver Disease) score among the TACE-RFA and TACE-only groups were 12.87 and 12.33 respectively (p = 0.64). The number of patients in Child’s Class A, B, C in the two groups were 28/15/8 and 23/23/11 (p = 0.30); in Okuda Class I, II and III in the two groups were 22/23/6 and 14/30/9 (p = 0.2). Median survival among patients who received TACE-RFA and TACE alone were 566 days and 209 days (p = 0.01). Median survival of patients treated with Precision-TACE + RFA was 566 days and that of patients treated with conventional TACE + RFA was 336 days (p = 0.510). Mean progression-free duration by RECIST criteria among the TACE + RFA group was 210 days vs. TACE only group 97 days (p = 0.04). Conclusion: Combination therapies of TACE and RFA were associated with improved overall survival than TACE alone. Patients with single tumors cm appeared to have a survival advantage with combination therapy when compared to larger tumors. TACE-RFA was associated with improved tumor response and progression-free duration than TACE alone.
HEPATITIS C VIRUS INFECTIONS

Lots of studies worldwide have been carried out to check out the prevalence of Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) in human populations. Spatial data analysis and clustering detection is a vital process in HCV monitoring to discover the area of high risk and to help involved decision makers to draw hypotheses about the cause of disease. Egypt is declared as one of the countries having the highest prevalence rate of HCV worldwide. The anomaly of the HCV infection’s distribution in Egypt allowed several researches to identify the reasons that contributed to such widespread of HCV in this country. One way that can help in identification of areas with highest diseases is to give a detailed knowledge about the geographical distribution of HCV in Egypt. To achieve that goal, Data mining analytical tools integrated with GIS can help to visualize the distribution. Thus, the main propose of this paper is to present a spatial distribution of HCV in Egypt using case data obtained from the Egyptian health institute National Hepatology Tropical Medicine Research Institute (NHTMR). The visualization of the spatial analysis distribution by means of GIS allows us to investigate statistical results that are easily interpreted by non-experts.
PROPAGATION OF ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES IN MATERIAL MEDIA WITH MAGNETIC MONOPOLES

The objective of this paper is to establish the properties of the electromagnetic wave propagation in a diversity of situations in material media with magnetic monopoles and even in the situations of entities simultaneously containing electric and magnetic charges. This analysis requires the knowledge and solutions of the \Maxwell" equations in material media compatible with the existence of magnetic monopoles and the extended concepts of linear responses (conductivity, split-charge susceptibility, kinetic susceptibility, permittivity and magnetic permeability) in the case of presence of electric and magnetic charges. This analysis can facilitate insights and suggestions for electrical and optical experiments afiording a better knowledge of the materials whose behaviour can be analyzed under the consideration of the existence of entities with equivalent properties of the magnetic monopoles.
Phones, privacy, and predictions A study of phone logged data to predict privacy attitudes of individuals

Purpose – Mobile phones have become one of the most favored devices to maintain social connections as well as logging digital information about personal lives. The privacy of the metadata being generated in this process has been a topic of intense debate over the last few years, but most of the debate has been focused on stonewalling such data. At the same time, such metadata is already being used to automatically infer a user ’ s preferences for commercial products, media, or political agencies. The purpose of this paper is to understand the predictive power of phone usage features on individual privacy attitudes. Design/methodology/approach – The present study uses a mixed-method approach, involving analysis of mobile phone metadata, self-reported survey on privacy attitudes and semi-structured interviews. This paper analyzes the interconnections between user ’ s social and behavioral data as obtained via their phone with their self-reported privacy attitudes and interprets them based on the semi-structured interviews. Findings – The findings from the study suggest that an analysis of mobile phone metadata reveals vital clues to a person ’ s privacy attitudes. This study finds that multiple phone signals have significant predictive power on an individual ’ s privacy attitudes. The results motivate a newer direction of automatically inferring a user ’ s privacy attitudes by leveraging their phone usage information. Practical implications – An ability to automatically infer a user ’ s privacy attitudes could allow users to utilize their own phone metadata to get automatic recommendations for privacy settings appropriate for them. This study offers information scientists, government agencies and mobile app developers, an understanding of user privacy needs, helping them create apps that take these traits into account. Originality/value – The primary value of this paper lies in providing a better understanding of the predictive power of phone usage features on individual privacy attitudes.
Spectroscopic Properties and Luminosity Distribution of the Universidad Complutense de Madrid Survey Galaxies

A spectroscopic analysis of the entire sample of Hα emission-line galaxies (ELGs) contained in lists 1 and 2 of the Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM) objective-prism survey is presented. A significant fraction (59%) of star-forming galaxies with low-ionization or high-extinction properties has been found. This kind of ELG is only incompletely detected in the blue or in other ELG surveys. We have found evidence for evolution among some of the different ELG classes. A comparison between the populations detected by the Case, Kiso, University of Michigan, and UCM surveys is presented. We conclude that a deep Hα survey is better able to sample all the ages, evolutionary stages, and luminosities of currently star-forming galaxies than other surveys using blue emission lines or colors. Finally, the luminosity and spatial distributions of the UCM galaxies are determined. The contribution of the newly found, currently star-forming ELGs provides new clues to galaxy evolution and has to be taken into account when trying to consider the density of ELGs and total star formation rate in the universe.
Event-centric media management

The management of the vast amount of media assets captured at every day events such as meetings, birthday parties, vacation, and conferences has become an increasingly challenging problem. Today, most media management applications are media-centric. This means, they put the captured media assets into the center of the management. However, in recent years it has been proposed that events are a much better abstraction of human experience and thus provide a more appropriate means for managing media assets. Consequently, approaches that include events into their media management solution have been explored. However, they typically consider events only as some more metadata that can be extracted from the media assets. In addition, today's applications and approaches concentrate on particular problems such as event detection, tagging, sharing, classification, or clustering and are often focused on a single media type. In this paper, we argue for the benefits of an event-centric media management (EMMa) approach that looks at the problem of media management holistically. Based on a generic event model, we specify a media event model for the EMMa approach. The single phases and processes of the EMMa approach are defined in a general process chain for an event-centric media management, the EMMa cycle. This cycle follows the event concept throughout all phases and processes of the chain and puts the concept of events in the center of the media management. Based on the media event model and EMMa cycle, we design a component-based architecture for the EMMa approach and conduct an implementation of the approach.

Grey seal diet analysis in Ireland highlights the importance of using multiple diagnostic features

Seals and humans are top predators in many marine ecosystems, often targeting the same food resource. With global declines in fish stocks, competition between these top predators is of increasing interest to scientists and resource managers. To understand and quantify this competition, robust data on the diet of seals are necessary. We present new information on the diet of grey seals Halichoerus grypus from a colony on Great Blasket Island, southwest Ireland, with particular reference to commercially important prey species such as salmonids. Inter-annual vari- ation in diet was investigated based on the recovery and identification of sagittal fish otoliths, bones and cephalopod beaks from faecal samples collected in 2009 and 2010. A total of 939 prey items were recovered, representing a minimum of 41 prey species. Thirty species were identified from otoliths while a further 11 species, including salmonids, were identified from additional diagnostic structures. The diet of grey seals was largely dominated by Gadiformes (21% corrected biomass), particularly Trisopterus spp. , which contributed 7% in terms of corrected biomass and 52% by frequency of occurrence, while salmonids comprised over 36% of diet by corrected biomass. Inter-annual variation in sandeel (Ammodytidae) and blue whiting Micromesistius poutassou abundance was apparent, while the former was an important contributor to the diet in terms of corrected biomass (11%). The results support the principle that an 'all structures' approach to pinniped diet estimation can significantly increase the rate of detection for most fish groups, and result in improved estimation of seal diet.
