Nowadays, developing software would be unthinkable without the use of third-party packages. Although such code reuse helps to achieve rapid continuous delivery end-users, blindly reusing has its pitfalls. For example, prior work investigated rationale for using packages that implement simple functionalities, known as trivial (i.e., in terms size and complexity). This showed although these were ...

The role of plastics and paper as food packaging materials is reviewed with a brief outlook on the historical background of food packages in general. The inherent properties of these food packages that should be considered by food processors are also discussed. The current efforts in meeting the needs of consumers in ensuring food’s quality with prolonged shelf life during storage and distribut...

Silicon carbide (SiC) device has become the primary choice for high-efficiency power electronic equipment due to its excellent performance. However, higher switching frequency and faster speed have also incurred new challenges, such as low parasitic inductance packaging. Despite a significant amount of literature overview packages, most them focus on total from different packaging technology. H...

Array comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH) is a technique for assaying the copy number status of cancer genomes. The widespread use of this technology has lead to a rapid accumulation of high throughput data, which in turn has prompted the development of computational strategies for the analysis of array CGH data. Here we explain the principles behind array image processing, data visua...

To achieve sharing and reuse for sustainable development, documents are semantically interrelated by ontologies, specified formally using the specification language Casl. The specification of properties for relations in the system’s ontology is used to check invariant properties during change management. Documents are structured for fine-grained management of variants for essentially the “same”...

The increasing availability of CD ROM based interactive multimedia packages to support learning in science classrooms offers science teachers new pedagogical opportunities for student-centred and cooperative learning. However, many of the current products do not make full use of the existing technology in schools and even when they do they tend to constrain the student to a very limited view of...

The finite element procedure with the unified disturbed state modeling concept presented in Part I, Basaran et al. (1998), is verified here with respect to laboratory test results for Pb40/Sn60 eutectic solder alloy. This solder alloy is a commonly used interconnection material for surface mount technology packages. It is demonstrated that the proposed procedure provides highly satisfactory cor...

Extremely compliant sub-2-μm sensor films enable temperature mapping on complex 3D objects, like integrated circuits on printed circuit boards, food packages, and on human skin. In their stretchable form, these metal films withstand strains up to 275%. This imperceptible electronic foil technology platform offers new avenues for the design of complex, hybrid rigid-island stretchable-interconnec...
