In recent years, hydroforming process has been applied in different industries such as aerospace, automotive and military industries due to its advantages, such as high dimensional accuracy, capability of forming complicated parts and high drawing ratio. Hydrodynamic deep drawing with radial pressure is one type of hydroforming process. In this paper, forming of cylindrical cups in hydrodynamic...

(This is part 2, continued from “Use of harsh Wafer Probing to Evaluate Traditional Bond Pad Structures”). Goals for circuit under pad (CUP) in aluminum – silicon dioxide (Al – SiO2) based IC pad structures include the design of metal interconnects in all layers beneath the pad Al, and the ability to withstand harsh probing and wirebonding stress without SiO2 cracking, without deforming or bend...

A variety of methacrylate-based materials has been developed with the capacity of adhering to dentin. This study investigated the effectiveness of 2-(methacryloxy)ethyl phenyl hydrogenphosphate (phenyl-P) for bonding 5% phenyl-P in methyl methacrylate (MMA) to dentinal surfaces. Polymerization of the phenyl-P/MMA monomer was initiated by partially oxidized tri-n-butyl borane catalyst (TBB). The...

Under normal sealing and storage conditions, Nylon-6, poly-caprolactam-based plastic laminates may release impurities to packaged foods and liquids and the application of heat for cooking often increases the rate of migration. Epsiloncaprolactam is one of the main contaminates found to migrate from a Nylon-6 polycaprolactam plastic film. The objectives of this study were to determine the effect...

The objective of our study is to reveal the effects paper cups sold under different brands on aquatic test organisms, Daphnia magna and Artemia salina, which are frequently used in toxicity studies. To this end, survival rates D. A. salina individuals, were kept alive after cooling exposed 20 °C 80 °C, for 24, 48, 72, 96 hours determined. 
 Upon examining results, while no significant decr...

UNLABELLED Although uncemented cup implants frequently are used in young patients, we believe long-term survival rates of cups in these patients are somewhat disappointing, and therefore we have continued to use cemented cups in primary THA, even in young patients. However, in cases of acetabular bone stock defects, we also use bone impaction grafting. We prospectively followed 130 patients wit...

This study directly and thoroughly investigates the practicalities of utilizing sentence embeddings, derived from foundations deep learning, for textual entailment recognition, with a specific emphasis on robust BERT model. As cornerstone our research, we incorporated Stanford Natural Language Inference (SNLI) dataset. Our emphasizes meticulous analysis BERT’s variable layers to ascertain optim...

Few-layer graphene (FLG) has been predicted to exist in various crystallographic stacking sequences, which can strongly influence the material's electronic properties. We demonstrate an accurate and efficient method to characterize stacking order in FLG using the distinctive features of the Raman 2D-mode. Raman imaging allows us to visualize directly the spatial distribution of Bernal (ABA) and...

Three experiments were conducted using 52 pigs between 22 and 35 h of birth to determine the effects of emulsification and fatty-acid chain length on utilization of medium-chain triglycerides (MCT). After a 4-h period during which feed was withheld, pigs were force-fed 6 mL of nonemulsified (NE) MCT or 20 mL of a 30% (vol/vol) Tween 80-(polyoxy-ethylene [20] sorbitan monooleate) MCT emulsion, m...

I would like to thank my collaborators and colleagues who work with me on the Tri-City Study of Welfare and Children: Ronald Angel, Linda Burton, Andrew Cherlin, Robert Moffitt, William Julius Wilson, Rebekah Levine Coley, and James Quane. Portions of this paper are a direct result of our work together. Several parts of this paper are drawn from a background paper written for the Chicago Assemb...
