The Brief Cognitive Battery (BCB) developed by our group for cognitive assessment of low educated individuals has also shown to be highly accurate in diagnosing dementia of individuals with medium or high levels of education, making it a useful tool for populations with heterogeneous educational background. The application of BCB takes around eight minutes, a rather long period for a screening ...

This paper reports the characterization of a photosensitive benzocyclobutene (BCB), a low dielectric constant spin-on polymer for use as interlayer dielectric in the microelectronics industry. Research work is divided into three main sections. First, BCB thin film characterization was done to investigate the effects of curing conditions on BCB film thickness, dielectric properties, optical prop...

Title of Dissertation: BENZOCYCLOBUTENE MICRORING RESONATORS Wei-Yen Chen, Doctor of Philosophy, 2007 Dissertation Directed By: Professor Ping-Tong Ho Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) at optical carrier frequencies offers more capacity and flexibility of fiber networks and upgrades conventional point-topoint fiber-optic transmission links ...

Various micromachining techniques exist to realize integrated microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), which include sensors, signal processing and/or driving circuits, and/or actuators in one small die. Post-processing techniques performed on foundry-fabricated circuits (e.g., MOSIS) are attractive since such an approach eliminates the need for an in-house integrated circuit fabrication line to ...

Cell water permeability and cell wall properties are critical to survival of plant cells during freezing, however the underlying molecular mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we report that a specifically cold-induced nuclear protein, Tolerant to Chilling and Freezing 1 (TCF1), interacts with histones H3 and H4 and associates with chromatin containing a target gene, blue-copper-binding protein (BC...

In recent years, there has been growing awareness of the need for sustainability in hospitality industry. The hotel industry, particular, identified as a significant contributor to environmental degradation. To address this issue, managers have begun adopt green human resource management (GHRM) practices promote sustainable behavior among employees. This research paper explores relationship bet...

Sheep oocytes derived from the ovaries collected from the slaughterhouse are often used for research on in vitro embryo production, animal cloning, transgenesis, embryonic stem cells, and other embryo biotechnology aspects. Improving the in vitro culture efficiency of oocytes can provide more materials for similar studies. Generally, determination of oocyte quality is mostly based on the layers...
