Single point incremental sheet forming (SPISF) has demonstrated significant potential to form complex sheet metal parts without using component-specific tools and is suitable for fabricating low-volume functional sheet metal parts economically. In the SPIF process, a ball nose tool moves along a predefined tool path to form the sheet. This work aims to optimize the formability and forming force...

ÐThe aromatic diacid residue 4,6-dibenzofuranbispropionic acid (1) was designed to nucleate a parallel b-sheet-like structure in small peptides in aqueous solution via a hydrogen-bonded hydrophobic cluster. Even though a 14-membered ring hydrogen bond necessary for parallel b-sheet formation is favored in simple amides composed of 1, this hydrogen bonding interaction does not appear to be suci...

The ice sheet-climate interaction as well as the climatic response to orbital parameters and atmospheric CO 2 content are examined in order to drive an ice sheet model throughout an ice age cycle. Feedback processes between ice sheet and atmosphere are analyzed by numerical experiments using a high resolution General Circulation 5 Model (GCM) under different conditions at the Last Glacial Maxim...

Orthopedic surgeons have long been troubled by cases involving nonunion of fractured bones. This study aimed to enhance bone union by cell sheet transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells. A nonunion model was made in rat femur, and rat bone marrow cells were cultured in medium containing dexamethasone and ascorbic acid phosphate to create a cell sheet that could be scraped off as a single sheet...

A new strategy for the layout of integrated resistors that minimizes yield loss due to random sheet resistance variations for a given area in ratio-critical applications is introduced. The strategy is based upon the optimal partitioning of area between the resistors that must be ratio-matched and on the practical realization of the partitioned resistors with unit resistor cells. This strategy p...

A novel method for direct extraction of deep-submicron MOSFET effective channel length is proposed, which requires only a single measurement of the “critical-current at linear-threshold” (“Icrit @ Vt0”) based on the maximum-gm definition. With a simple calibration of the channel sheet resistance from the long-channel Icrit data, the effective channel length of any short-channel device on the sa...
