Rapid defect detections of bonded wafer using near infrared polariscope by Asundi, Anand Krishna, Ng, Chi Seng

“…Due to the fact that silicon wafer is transparent to wavelength greater than 1150nm, an Near Infrared Polariscope which has showed some promises on residual stress measurement on silicon devices has been adapted and developed. This method is based on the well known photoelastic principles, where the stress variations are measured based on the changes of light propagation velocity in birefringence material. …”

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) for assessment of microbial water quality : current progress, challenges, and future opportunities by Tan, BoonFei, Ng, Charmaine, Nshimyimana, Jean Pierre, Loh, Lay Leng, Gin, Karina Y.-H., Thompson, Janelle R.

“…Secondly, we will examine case studies from recent literature where NGS based methods have been applied to topics in water quality assessment, including development of bioindicators for sewage pollution and microbial source tracking, characterizing the distribution of toxin and antibiotic resistance genes in water samples, and investigating mechanisms of biodegradation of harmful pollutants that threaten water quality. …”

Theoretical analysis of structures and electronic spectra in molecular cadmium chalcogenide clusters by Nguyen, Kiet A., Pachter, Ruth, Day, Paul N., Su, Haibin

“…A unified treatment of these clusters to obtain a fundamental understanding of the size, ligand, and solvation effects on their optical properties has not been heretofore presented. The clusters belong to three topological classes, specifically supertetrahedral (Tn), penta-supertetrahedral (Pn), and capped supertetrahedral (Cn), where n is the number of metal layers in each cluster. …”

Duplex stem-loop-containing quadruplex motifs in the human genome: a combined genomic and structural study by Lim, Kah Wai, Jenjaroenpun, Piroon, Low, Zhen Jie, Khong, Zi Jian, Ng, Yi Siang, Kuznetsov, Vladimir Andreevich, Phan, Anh Tuan

“…Duplex stem-loops and four-stranded G-quadruplexes have been implicated in (patho)biological processes. Overlap of stem-loop- and quadruplex-forming sequences could give rise to quadruplex–duplex hybrids (QDH), which combine features of both structural forms and could exhibit unique properties. …”

Determination of the archaeal and bacterial communities in two-phase and single-stage anaerobic systems by 454 pyrosequencing by Maspolim, Yogananda, Zhou, Yan, Guo, Chenghong, Xiao, Keke, Ng, Wun Jern

“…2-Phase anaerobic digestion (AD), where the acidogenic phase was operated at 2 day hydraulic retention time (HRT) and the methanogenic phase at 10 days HRT, had been evaluated to determine if it could provide higher organic reduction and methane production than the conventional single-stage AD (also operated at 12 days HRT). 454 pyrosequencing was performed to determine and compare the microbial communities. …”

An Investigation of the Reliability of the Taiwan Earthquake Model PSHA2015 by Wang, Yu‐Ju, Lee, Ya‐Ting, Chan, Chung‐Han, Ma, Kuo‐Fong

“…For densely populated faults in southwestern Taiwan, the assessed hazard level is more sensitive to the maximum magnitude of earthquakes than it is to the slip rate of active faults, creating concern for the possibility of larger earthquakes due to multiple‐segment ruptures in this area, which has not yet been considered in the TEM PSHA2015. The source category disaggregation also suggested a seismic hazard over long periods in northern Taiwan due to subduction zone sources.…”

Optical characteristics of p-type GaAs-based semiconductors towards applications in photoemission infrared detectors by Lao, Y. F., Perera, A. G. U., Wang, H. L., Zhao, J. H., Jin, Y. J., Zhang, Dao Hua

“…Free-carrier effects in a p-type semiconductor including the intra-valence-band and inter-valence-band optical transitions are primarily responsible for its optical characteristics in infrared. Attention has been paid to the inter-valence-band transitions for the development of internal photoemission (IPE) mid-wave infrared (MWIR) photodetectors. …”
