This paper presents an exponentially stabilizing boundary control for the microvia fill process. The control accounts for the mass balance of the copper ions in the electrolyte and for the surface mass balance of the deposition-blocking additives, both modeled with a diffusion mass transfer model in a shape changing domain. With simulations based on real-world data, it is shown that by applying...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of composite preheating and polymerization mode on degree of conversion (DC), microhardness (KHN), plasticization (P), and depth of polymerization (DP) of a bulk fill composite. METHODS Forty disc-shaped samples (n = 5) of a bulk fill composite were prepared (5 × 4 mm thick) and randomly divided into 4 groups according to light-curing ...

BACKGROUND Institutes of the history of medicine, the theory of medicine, and medical ethics at German institutions of higher learning have created various e-learning options that are based on different learning platforms and tailored to the specific curricular needs of individual teaching. Up to now no valid data has been available about the types of such e-learning options as well as possibil...

Please fill out one form for each emission reduction measure. See instructions on attachment 2. Title: Inclusion of the California Cement Industry in a multi-sector cap-and-trade program regardless of whether energy efficiency improvements and increases in the use of blended cement products occur as a result of discrete early action measures.

Abstract: We present an update of the JetViP 1.1 program for performing fixed NLO calculations in jet production including direct and resolved components in a continuous range of photon virtuality Q. The new version allows to access the full event record on the parton level. The program is set up such that hbook can be used to fill histograms. The phase space generator has been optimized and th...

Focus group interviews were conducted at a large steel manufacturing company with 1000 employees, in order to answer the research question: what is the safety culture and risk-taking like at the company, according to employees? Ten focus groups were used for data collection consisting of 6-8 employees each. The participants were operators from production. The interviews lasted 75 min and were d...
