Effect of prebonding anneal on the microstructure evolution and Cu–Cu diffusion bonding quality for three-dimensional integration by Peng, L., Zhang, L., Li, H.Y., Lim, Dau Fatt, Tan, Chuan Seng

“…As compared with the control wafer pair with a prebonding anneal at 300°C for 1 h in N2, the wafer pair without a prebonding anneal showed greater improvement in void density based on c-mode scanning acoustic microscopy (c-SAM). Dicing yield and shear strength were also enhanced when a prebonding anneal was not applied. …”

Effect of pH on phosphorylation of sago starch by Muhammad, K., Hussin, F., Man, Y.C., Ghazali, H.M.

“…At the reaction pH of 9, a starch phosphate obtained using STPP exhibited low hot paste viscosity but high cold paste viscosity and shear stability when cooked at 95 °C. Treatment of sago starch with a mixture of STPP and STMP yielded the best starch phosphate at the reaction pH of 9.5 which showed lower hot paste viscosity and much higher cold paste viscosity than that of sago starch phosphates prepared at pH 9 using STPP. …”

Towards a Single Bio-molecule Detector Based on CMOS Nanofluidic Platform by Zikrallah, Ahmed S.

“…Cytokines secretion is a core component of the function of many cell therapy products: It affects the tissue repair capacity of induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs) and Mesenchymal Stem cells (MSCs) and the tumorigenicity of Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies. Ideally, we would be able to continuously monitor the secretome of these cell therapies as they are transformed and expanded in manufacturing.However, state-of-theart techniques for monitoring typically low concentrations of cytokines require either Mass Spectroscopy (MS) or immunoassays like Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). …”

Biologically inspired visual intelligence for unmanned ground vehicles by Peyman Moghadam

“…Based on empirical evidences, it is known that when human drivers become familiar with the road situations, they prefer to look at the far field where the road edges converge (called the vanishing point) to anticipate the upcoming road trajectory and the car steering with maximal lead time. Based on these findings, vanishing point is considered as a salient and consistent feature during most of the open driving behavior tasks regardless of type of the environments. …”

Poroelastic behavior and water permeability of human skin at the nanoscale by Oftadeh, Ramin, Azadi, Mojtaba, Donovan, Mark, Langer, Jessica, Liao, I-Chien, Ortiz, Christine, Grodzinsky, Alan J, Luengo, Gustavo S

“…Furthermore, our methods can assess the ability of these individual layers to respond to both compressive and shear deformations. In addition, since human skin is mechanically loaded over a wide range of deformation rates (frequencies), we studied the biophysical properties of skin over a wide frequency range. …”

Explaining the spread in measurement of PDMS elastic properties: influence of test method and curing protocol by Varner, Hannah, Cohen, Tal

“…Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), commonly obtained from Dow as SYLGARD 184, is a ubiquitous such material, which has been integral to the rapid development of biocompatible microfluidic devices and flexible electronics in recent decades. However, reported shear moduli of this material range over 2 orders of magnitude for similar chemical compositions. …”

Turbulent Flow over a Flexible Wall Undergoing a Streamwise Traveling Wavy Motion by Shen, Lian, Zhang, Xiang, Yue, Dick K.P., Triantafyllou, Michael S.

“…Above a threshold value of c/U ≈ 1, separation is eliminated; and, relative to small- c/U cases, turbulence intensity and turbulent shear stress are reduced significantly. The drag force decreases monotonically as c/U increases while the power required for the transverse motion generally increases for large c/U; the net power input is found to reach a minimum at c/U ≈ 1.2 (for fixed U). …”
