Decreasing junction temperature in an IC package is required for stable electrical performance and electro-mechanical reliability of network communication system in today’s market. Much effort to decrease the junction temperature is already done. Since it is critical to increase both speed and mass of information transmission, reducing junction temperature needs to be optimized for better elect...

Many companies in India manufacture solar water heaters but these are not becoming popular in the domestic sector because of their high cost. The Ministry of Non-Conventional Energy Sources (MNES), New Delhi is recommending flat-plate collectors with copper (Cu) risers, headers and plate. Therefore, their cost is high. Long term studies have been carried out at the Central Arid Zone Research In...

Distal radius fracture (DRF) is one of the most common traumatic events for the hand surgeon to treat. Numerous surgical procedures have been described for this fracture (Ruch et al., 2004); however, the ideal method of surgical management is still controversial. The latest development of a volar locking plate fixation markedly changed the treatment of DRF (Chen & Jupiter, 2007; Chung et al., 2...

occurred within the first few weeks after spinal interbody fusion procedures assisted with BMP, have been clinically insignificant in some patients, but in others have resulted in serious complications (spacer subsidence, loss of correction, spacer dislodgement, and failure of spinal fusion). In the study by Tumialán et al, no end plate resorption was reported. In contrast, a study by Vaidya et...

The methodology for building deforming regions into global plate reconstructions builds on the continuously closing plates framework described by Gurnis et al. (2012). Plates are defined within the open-source software GPlates (Boyden et al., 2011) by building polygons from a series of lines defining plate boundaries. The lines can move independently, so that the geometry of plate polygons cont...

Precipitate parameters, such as length, diameter and thickness of rationally oriented {100}Al plate/lath-shaped <100>Al rod-shaped precipitates in an age-hardenable Al-Cu-Mg-Si alloy have been examined quantitatively. An appropriate procedure the plate- precipitate separation was suggested to determine parameters well their distribution histograms using bright-(BF) dark-field (DF) transmission ...

CNT-added surface treatment (CAST) is a newly developed technology that incorporates single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) into metal through alternate current electrolysis using dispersion of SWCNTs in an alkaline aqueous solution. We apply this method to Al-plates and characterize their morphology components scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectro...

The plate loop count as described in Standard Methods for the Examination of Dairy Products, 13th Edition, was investigated as a simplified technique for determining total viable counts in single strength orange juice. This pro cedure requires the use of standardized loops (0.01 and 0.001) for making serial dilutions in stead of pipets and dilution bottles. Data have been presented to show ther...
