Effect of Sn grain orientation on electromigration degradation mechanism in high Sn-based Pb-free solders (2008)

Electromigration induced damage strongly depends on Sn-grain orientation in Pb-free solders. Rapid depletion of intermetallic compounds and under bump metallurgy led to significant damages caused by the fast diffusion of Cu and Ni along the c axis of Sn crystals. When the c axis of Sn grain is not aligned with the current direction, electromigration (EM) damage is dominated by Sn self-diffusion, which takes longer to occur. This is a direct proof of the highly anisotropic diffusion behavior in Sn. Due to the presence of twin structures and stable Ag3Sn network, SnAg(Cu) solders are less susceptible to grain orientation effects and showed better EM performance than SnCu solders.
Carbon-13 chemical shifts on oxytocin as a consequence of its interaction with neurophysins (1984)

Carbon-13 NMR was used to study the interaction of the hormone oxytocin with neurophysin (NP). Oxytocins specifically enriched to 90% 13C in the alpha-carbons of Leu-3 (in [3-leucine]oxytocin), Gln-4, and Leu-8 and in the carbonyl carbon of Cys-6 were synthesized, so that the effect on these positions of binding to NP could be monitored. The alpha-carbons of residues 3 and 4 experienced shifts of -4.2 and -1.5 ppm (negative shifts are downfield), respectively, upon binding of the hormone to NP. The carbonyl carbon of residue 6 underwent a shift of +0.7 ppm, while the alpha-carbon of residue 8 displayed no shift. For each enriched residue, the hormone diastereoisomer in which this residue had the D configuration was also synthesized. NMR was then used to determine the binding affinity of the various diastereoisomers to NP, as well as to measure the NMR parameters of the bound peptides. When position 3 had the D configuration, the binding affinity for NP was 10-20% that of the native hormone. For positions 4, 6, and 8, the D diastereoisomers bound with the same affinity as oxytocin. The alpha-carbons of D residues of positions 3 and 4 shifted by -2.5 and +0.4 ppm, respectively, the carbonyl carbon of D-Cys-6 shifted by +1.4 ppm, and the alpha-carbon of D-Leu-8 was unshifted on binding to NP. The shift and diastereoisomer binding data, combined with previous results involving enriched carbons and/or diastereoisomers of residues 1, 2, and 9, support the conclusion that residues 1 and 2 are most crucial for binding of oxytocin to NP, residue 3 is less important, and residues 4-9 are of only slight significance.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

10110 Study on droplet removal from flat surface by air flow (2015)

Characteristics of droplet removal by air flow on flat surface of semiconductor wafer were experimentally investigated. Effects of air velocity, nozzle angle and droplet volume on removal characteristics were measured. Deformation and removal processes were observed using a high speed video camera. Type A and Type B wafers were used as the test plate in order to investigate the contact angle effect. It was confirmed that the removal condition was shifted to the lower air velocity with increasing of droplet volume.
Flow-induced shear strain in intima of porcine coronary arteries (2007)

The in vivo circumferential strain has a small variation throughout the vascular system (aorta to arterioles). The axial strain has also been shown to be nearly the same as the circumferential strain under physiological loading. Since the endothelium is mechanically much softer than the media-adventitia in healthy arteries, the porcine intima was considered as a mechanically distinct layer from the media-adventitia in a two-layer computational model. Based on the simulation result, we hypothesize that the flow-induced shear strain in intima can be of similar value as the pressure-induced circumferential strain in healthy coronary arteries, even though the shear stress is orders of magnitude smaller than the circumferential stress. The nearly isotropic deformation (circumferential, axial, and shear strains) may have important implications for mechanical homeostasis of endothelial cells, mechanotransduction, growth, and remodeling of blood vessels.

Surface potential imaging of CNT-FET devices by scanning Kelvin probe microscopy (2008)

We investigated the surface potential around nanotube channel during CNT-FET operation by scanning Kelvin probe microscopy (SKPM). The results demonstrate that the local surface potential distribution depends on the fabrication process of FET devices. We also measured the transfer characteristic of CNT-FET and compared with the surface potential image. In addition, we investigate the specific FET device with the closed CNT loops into which channel CNT penetrates. The surface potential distribution is completely different with that of a simple single CNT channel. We find that the closed loop of CNT has a capability of trapping the charge inside the loop.
New approach to deinterleaving for radar intercept receivers (2003)

We present a new approach to the design of deinterleavers for radar intercept receivers.We design the deinterleaver to target frequency and pulse repetition frequency (PRF)agile pulse Doppler emitters,a class of radar sources that is difficult to deinterleave with traditional approaches.Targeting this specific class of emitters al- lows us to take advantage of the coherent processing signal structure that is common to emitters in the class.The deinterleaver extracts constant pulse repetition interval (PRI) pulse packets from the receiver signal, and then clusters the pulse packets on the basis of coherency.Pulse packets that come from the same radar source form coherent signal structures,pulse packets from different sources do not. The paper describes the filtering algorithms that extract the pulse packets,presents an analysis of signal coherency that provides a priori estimate of the effectiveness of the design,and describes the clustering algorithms that separate the pulse packets into deinterleaved signal streams.
The Effects of Dietary T-2 Toxin on Acute Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 Infection in Mice (1983)

Young male white Swiss mice were fed control diet or diet supplemented with 20 or 10 parts per million (ppm) of T-2 toxin for two or three weeks. These mice then were inoculated with herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) (9.6 x 10(6) plaque forming units) intraperitoneally. To compare the effects of T-2 toxin against a known immunosuppressive drug, cyclophosphamide was injected intraperitoneally at 150 mg/kg, 24 hours after treatment with HSV-1, into mice fed the control diet. Mice were necropsied and tissues were collected for microscopic and virologic examination. White Swiss mice which consumed a daily diet containing 20 ppm of T-2 toxin for two or three weeks were highly susceptible to HSV-1 infection and 27 of 36 (75%) died as a result of extensive hepatic and adrenal necrosis. Although HSV-1 was isolated from livers and brains of mice fed 20 ppm of T-2 toxin for two or three weeks, there was little or no inflammatory response found in the adrenals, livers, spinal cords, brains, or ganglia. The necrotizing encephalomyelitis observed in control mice was absent. High levels of dietary T-2 toxin appeared to be more immunosuppressive than cyclophosphamide because only one mouse died after treatment with HSV-1 and cyclophosphamide. Mice treated with cyclophosphamide had changes in brain, spinal cord, spleens, thymus, and bone marrow which were similar to those fed 20 ppm of T-2 toxin and infected with HSV-1, however, liver lesions were much less severe. HSV-1-infected mice on a diet with 10 ppm T-2 toxin had lesions of intermediate severity when compared with HSV-1-infected mice fed a diet with 20 ppm T-2 toxin and HSV-1-infected mice on control diets. Necrosis was less extensive in the livers and adrenals. The infrequent isolation of virus from liver and brain was consistent with the lack of intranuclear inclusion bodies and a more marked inflammatory response. Ten ppm of dietary T-2 toxin only depressed bone marrow and splenic red pulp to a mild or moderate degree. This may have enhanced the necrotizing encephalomyelitis observed in mice killed on days 6 and 8 after HSV-1 infection. Liver lesions were mild and those of the adrenals were moderate in mice fed control diet. The rare isolation of HSV-1 from the liver and brain and the findings of a moderate to severe necrotizing encephalomyelitis in these mice was consistent with an essentially functional immune system.
An optimal sorting algorithm for mesh connected computers (1986)

Conservation laws and inverse problems for partially coherent free fields (1991)

Excellent approximations to many optical fields are provided by free fields, i.e., fields in which contributions from evanescent waves are neglected. In this paper, we show that certain conservation laws hold for fields of this kind, which in some respects resemble the usual energy conservation laws. In particular we find that the field spectrum, integrated over a cross-section perpendicular to any chosen direction, is invariant on propagation. Similar results hold for the Wigner form of the cross-spectral density. These conservation laws provide insight and simple solutions to some inverse problems for partially coherent fields. As an example, we show that they may be used to determine the normalized spectrum of a planar, secondary source from the knowledge of the field spectrum in a plane parallel to the source plane. We also show that the new conservation laws make it possible to determine the cross-spectral density of a quasihomogeneous source from the knowledge of the cross-spectral density of the field at all pairs of points in any plane parallel to the source plane.
Multiple cycles of repeated treatments with aPhaseolus vulgarisdry extract reduce food intake and body weight in obese rats (2011)

Previous lines of experimental evidence have suggested that Phaseolus vulgaris extracts reduce food intake, body weight, lipid accumulation, hedonic properties of food, carbohydrate absorption and metabolism, and glycaemia in rats. The present study was designed to assess the effect of multiple cycles of repeated treatments with a standardised P. vulgaris dry extract on daily food intake and body weight in genetically obese Zucker fa/fa rats (Expt 1). Additionally, the study tested the effect of acute treatment with P. vulgaris dry extract on postprandial glycaemia in Zucker fa/fa rats (Expt 2). In Expt 1, P. vulgaris dry extract was administered daily, at doses of 50 and 500 mg/kg, in three 5 d treatment periods followed by three 20 d off-treatment periods. Administration of P. vulgaris dry extract resulted in dose-dependent decreases in daily food intake and body weight in each treatment phase. Reductions in food intake were of comparable magnitude in each treatment phase. In Expt 2, food-deprived rats were acutely treated with 50 and 500 mg P. vulgaris dry extract per kg immediately before access to a fixed amount of a starch-enriched chow. Treatment with P. vulgaris dry extract resulted in a dose-dependent suppression of glycaemia. These results extend previous data on the anorectic and hypoglycaemic effects of the P. vulgaris dry extract to a validated animal model of obesity. Together with data published previously in the literature, these results strengthen the hypothesis that potentially effective, novel pharmacotherapies for obesity and related disorders may originate from extracts and derivatives of P. vulgaris.
Nondestructive investigation of interface states in high‐k oxide films on Ge substrate using X‐ray absorption spectroscopy (2012)

Abstract The unoccupied electronic structures of 5 nm thick high permittivity ( k ) oxides (HfO 2 , ZrO 2 , and Al 2 O 3 ) and SiO 2 films on Ge substrates were examined using O K‐edge X‐ray absorption spectroscopy. Comparative studies with those on Si substrates showed contrasts in the conduction bands, which should be due to the formation of interface states. In the Al 2 O 3 and SiO 2 films, GeO 2 layers are formed at the interface and they suppress in part the formation of detrimental germanate phases. In contrast, in the HfO 2 and ZrO 2 films, no signature of the Ge‐oxide phase is observed but some germanate phases are expected to prevail, suggesting a degradation of the gate oxide characteristics.

Specification de systemes dynamiques et contribution a leur implementation prouvee sur des processeurs de traitement du signal (dsp) (1998)

La production automatique de code non seulement efficace mais aussi prouve correct par rapport a sa specification est un probleme interessant car il permet de tendre vers un des buts les plus recherches : la conception zero defaut. De plus, de nombreux progres dans le domaine de la verification formelle ont ete realises ces dix dernieres annees et les industriels commencent a s'y interesser. Cette these s'inscrit dans ce cadre pour des processeurs dedies au traitement du signal, les dsps de la famille tms320 de texas instruments. Le developpement d'applications sur ces processeurs se fait soit en utilisant le langage c comme langage de haut niveau, soit directement en langage d'assemblage. Les compilateurs c, bien qu'optimises, ne permettent pas en general d'atteindre, lorsque la cible est un dsp en virgule fixe, un niveau de performance suffisant. De plus une programmation en langage d'assemblage n'est rentable que pour des applications stables et perennes. En fait, on peut considerer qu'il manque des langages de haut niveau permettant une programmation rapide et efficace des processeurs dsp. Nous avons alors defini un langage de programmation declaratif d'un niveau d'abstraction raisonnablement eleve (sml) destine a la specification de systemes dynamiques que sont les applications de traitement du signal. Ce langage sml se place, en fait a un niveau d'abstraction inferieur a celui des langages plus generalistes tels que signal, lustre ou des langages a descriptions graphiques dont il pourrait servir de langage intermediaire. Nous avons aussi defini une machine virtuelle intermediaire smam, non seulement pour palier les limitations d'une implementation fortement dependante du dsp cible mais aussi pour rendre la preuve plus facile en introduisant un niveau intermediaire d'abstraction entre la specification et le processeur dsp. Notre contribution a ce niveau a ete de produire du code dsp plus efficace que celui produit par un compilateur c principalement utilise aujourd'hui. De plus nous nous sommes interesses a une implementation prouvee de programmes sml sur les processeurs dsp ce qui revient a verifier formellement que le compilateur, produisant du code assembleur a partir d'un programme de specification sml, est correct.
Thiocyanate Hydrolase Is a Cobalt-Containing Metalloenzyme with a Cysteine-Sulfinic Acid Ligand (2005)

Thiocyanate hydrolase (SCNase) purified from Thiobacillus thioparus THI115 hydrolyzes thiocyanate to carbonyl sulfide and ammonia. DNA sequences of the cloned genes revealed the close relation of SCNase to nitrile hydratase (NHase). The consensus sequences for coordination of the metal ion found in NHases were also conserved in the gamma subunit of SCNase. Here, we showed that the SCNase contained one cobalt atom per alphabetagamma heterotrimer. UV-vis absorption spectrum suggested that the cobalt exists as a non-corrin ion. Reduced SCNase showed an ESR signal characteristic of low-spin Co2+, which closely resembled that of the Co-type NHases. Mass spectrometry for the peptide fragment containing the metal-binding motif of the SCNase gamma subunit indicated that the cysteine residue at position 131 was post-translationally oxidized to a cysteine-sulfinic acid. From these results, we concluded that SCNases and NHases form a novel non-corrin and/or non-heme protein family having post-translationally modified cysteine ligands.
Beam shaping system (1991)

A novel optical system is described which can be used to change the intensity profile of a laser beam without the increase in beam divergence which results from conventional techniques. The technique uses a telescope, the first lens of which is designed to introduce an amount of spherical aberration. This changes the intensity distribution of the beam in the focal region where a second lend is located. The second element removes the aberration and collimates the beam. Cylindrical lenses can be used to independently shape the intensity profile of the beam in the two azimuths.
A Simulation Platform To Model, Optimize And Design Wind Turbines. The Matlab/Simulink Toolbox (2002)

In the last years Matlab / Simulink® has become the most used software for modeling and simulation of dynamic systems. Wind energy conversion systems are for example such systems, containing subsystems with different ranges of the time constants: wind, turbine, generator, power electronics, transformer and grid. The electrical generator and the power converter need the smallest simulation step and therefore, these blocks decide the simulation speed. This paper presents a new and integrated simulation platform for modeling, optimizing and designing wind turbines. The platform contains different simulation tools: Matlab / Simulink - used as basic modeling tool, HAWC, DIgSilent and Saber.

Congenital Complete Atrioventricular Block in the Early Pediatric Population (2006)

Congenital complete atrioventricular block (CCAVB) is a rare potentially lethal disease with an estimated incidence of 1 every 15.000 to 20.000 live born infants. In structurally normal hearts two kinds of congenital heart block can be identified: one usually diagnosed in utero associated with the circulating maternal anti-SS-A/Ro and anti-SS-B/La antibodies, the other kind is detected later in the neonatal period or during the infancy or childhood and present no clear relation with maternal antibodies. Nowadays, the diagnosis can be made in utero as early as between week 16 and 28 of gestation by foetal echocardiography. The mortality in isolated CCAVB is estimated between 8 and 16% and between 4 and 8% in children and adults. The mortality and morbidity of patients diagnosed outside the neonatal period is significantly lower than those with a in utero diagnosis. Risk factors for worse outcome in CCAVB are the foetal diagnosis, the presence of hydrops fetalis, delivery at 32 weeks gestation, and a ventricular rate <55 beats/min in early pregnancy (13, 18). Aim of this review is to delineate the current knowledge on CCAVB presenting in children without structural heart disease including aetiology, outcome and management. Also outlined in this review are some of the problems still debated in this issue.
