The main purpose of the study is determination of the pollutants hazard potential as well as environmental vulnerability of Qarah Su River. First the most significant pollutant sources in the Qarah Su river watershed were identified and then accordingly the pollution hazard potential rate was calculated in Universal Ranking System Model setting. Then, by generalizing the algebraic sum of the re...

We study the superalgebra of the M-theory on a fully supersymmetric pp-wave. We identify the algebra as the special unitary Lie superalgebra, su(2|4 ; 2, 0) or su(2|4 ; 2, 4), and analyze its root structure. We discuss the typical and atypical representations deriving the typicality condition explicitly in terms of the energy and other four quantum numbers. We classify the BPS multiplets preser...

background: giardia duodenalis is one of the most common human intestinal pro-tozoan parasites worldwide and is endemic throughout the world with a vast range of mammalian hosts. the present study aimed to identify the prevalence of g. duo-denalis isolates and determine the most common of its assemblages in the patients referring to health centers and hospitals in fars province, iran that will ...

A DNA extraction system was designed and fabricated using an AOM (aluminum oxide membrane) with 200 nm pores and PDMS microfluidic channels. The membrane was patterned using soft lithography techniques and SU-8 photolithography on the membrane. After making the pattern with SU-8, the AOM was observed using an SEM (scanning electro microscope) to verify the AOM structure was not damaged. From th...

In combination with tapered-trench-etching of Si and SU-8 photoresist, a grayscale mask for deep X-ray lithography was fabricated and passed a 10-times-exposure test. The performance of the X-ray grayscale mask was evaluated using the TERAS synchrotron radiation facility at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST). Although the SU-8 before photo-curing has bee...

Epoxy-based materials are extensively used in industry due to their excellent mechanical and thermal stability. As the epoxy products are getting smaller and smaller nowadays, there are difficulties arising from the material processing and measurement, which need to be carefully considered in the design stage. SU-8 photoresist, which is commonly used in micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS), ...

In this paper, an innovative method to create embedded microchannels is presented. The presented technology is based on a direct-write technique using a scanning laser system to pattern a single layered SU-8. The enormous flexibility of the scanning laser system can be seen in two key features: the laser pulsing can be controlled spot-by-spot with variable exposure doses, and the laser intensit...

John D. Williams Wanjun Wang Louisiana State University Department of Mechanical Engineering Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70803 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. In recent years, a relatively new type of negative photoresist, EPON SU-8, has received a lot of attention in the MEMS field because of its excellent lithography properties. Significant research efforts have been made to study the lithographic ...
