Tristimulus values (TSV) form the basis of colorimetry. They are transformed to other colorimetric coordinates for industrial applications such as colour specification, colour quality control, colour difference evaluations, device characterization for cross-media colour reproduction and recipe formulation. Accurate calculation of TSVs is highly desired by industry for open environment communica...

3D integration can alleviate routing congestion, reducing the wirelength and improving performances. Nevertheless, each TSV still occupies non-negligible silicon area: as the number of TSV increases, their effect on the chip routing is detrimental. The reduction in the number of 3D vias obtained with the adoption of serial vertical connections can relieve the routing congestion of the 3D system...

Drosophila melanogaster is a widely-studied model organism in developmental biology. Oviposition is an important assay in fly studies which also should be controlled for experiments that study biological pathways through synchronized embryos. It has been used as an assessment tool to investigate biological responses to environmental cues, such as substrate textures, but in relatively uncontroll...

Chemical gas sensors suffers from the drawbacks such as high temperature ((>=300oC) and very high power consumption for sensing inflammable gases like CO, CH4 etc. In this work a new technique for thermal isolation in MEMS gas sensors is presented by coupling micromachining of bulk silicon and oxidized macro porous silicon (OMPS) layer to reduce the

Current de facto data model standards in the recommender systems field do not support easy encoding of heterogeneous data aspects such as context, content, social ties, etc. In order to facilitate a simpler means of sharing and using the rich datasets used by researchas well as production systems today, in this paper we propose a data model standard for heterogeneous datasets in the recommender...

Tropical cattle ticks (Boophilus microplus) are the most important ectoparasites that have the impact on livestock development in Thailand due to their responsible for severe economic losses through direct damages of blood feeding and as important pathogen vectors. Acaricides have been used extensively to control ticks with partial success. However, this approach suffers drawbacks such as selec...

In this paper, we have investigated the turn-around effect of the threshold voltage (Vth) shift in the case of an n-type long channel MOSFET during hot-carrier stress. This effect is explained by the interplay between interface states and oxide traps, i.e. by the partial compensation of the rapidly created oxide charges by the more slowly created interface states. Significant hole trapping is o...

Codecs pose numerous analytical problems for software scholars. They are mathematically deep. Coming to grips with them may entail lengthy immersion in technical details. Although they are responsible for displaying many moving images on screens today, codecs themselves often hide in hardware and lower-level code. They come to light occasionally, usually in the form of an error message saying t...

The paper presents some specific applications of cubic equations of state (EOS) in Norak Hydro and points out some aspects of such equations that one should be aware of when using them or when developing new equations. Is is emphasized that the use of EOS to calculate vapor-liquid equilibrium is inherently empirical. Activity coefficients predicted’ for some systems by the Soave-Redlich-Kwong (...

Skin cover after below-knee amputation has been extensively discussed. We describe the flaps which are commonly used and discuss their vascular basis in the context of the current knowledge of the fasciocutaneous system. An understanding of this vascular system will enable surgeons to plan and shape flaps for surgical exposure and coverage.
