In this paper the effects of accidental impacts on polysilicon MEMS sensors are investigated within the framework of a three-scale finite element approach. By allowing for the very small ratio (on the order of 10−4) between the inertia of the MEMS and the inertia of the whole device, macro-scale analyses at the package length-scale are run to obtain the loadF. Fachin is currently with: Technolo...

Consanguineous marriage increases the birth prevalence of individuals with recessive disorders.

Data representations and their impact on decision making performance have been a subject of Information Systems research for a long time [Benbasat et al. 86, DeSanctis 84, DeSanctis & Jarvenpaa 89, Vessey 91]. The graphical representations in most studies in this area are common business charts, such as pie, line, bar, among others. These charts are not necessarily designed to support any speci...
