Tribo-electrochemical Characterization of Tantalum during Electrochemical-Mechanical Polishing (ECMP)
(2012-02-14)
Electrochemical Mechanical Polishing (ECMP) has become increasingly important due to the continuous decrease of the device size in integrated circuit (IC) fabrication. Tantalum (Ta) is a promising material as a substitute ...
Detonation Diffraction into a Confined Volume
(2012-02-14)
Detonation diffraction has been, and remains, an active area of research. However, detonation diffraction into a confined volume, and specifically the transformation of a planar detonation into a cylindrical detonation, ...
Novel Intraosseous Device Performance and Longevity in a Goat Model (Capra hircus)
(2012-02-14)
Two studies were performed to assess the function and longevity of a novel
intraosseous (IO) catheter device. For the initial study, nine animals were assigned to
three study groups. The first group received a 25 mm ...
Gasification of Low Ash Partially Composted Dairy Biomass with Enriched Air Mixture
(2012-02-14)
Biomass is one of the renewable and non-conventional energy sources and it includes municipal solid wastes and animal wastes in addition to agricultural residue. Concentrated animal feeding operations produce large quantities ...
Insulin-Like Growth Factor Binding Proteins -1 and -3, and Hydroxysteroid (11-Beta) Dehydrogenase One: Potential Roles in Ruminant Conceptus Development and Endometrial Function
(2010-07-14)
Maternal contributions from the uterine endometrial luminal (LE) and glandular
(GE) epithelia are unequivocally required to support ruminant conceptus growth and
development, elongation and implantation. Therefore, studies ...
Adaptive Resource Allocation for Statistical QoS Provisioning in Mobile Wireless Communications and Networks
(2012-02-14)
Due to the highly-varying wireless channels over time, frequency, and space
domains, statistical QoS provisioning, instead of deterministic QoS guarantees, has
become a recognized feature in the next-generation wireless ...
Nanotechnology for Solar-hydrogen Production via Photoelectrochemical Water-splitting: Design, Synthesis, Characterization, and Application of Nanomaterials and Quantum Dots
(2012-02-14)
Hydrogen production by water-splitting using solar energy and nanostructure
photocatalysts is very promising as a renewable, efficient, environmentally clean
technology. The key is to reduce the cost of hydrogen production ...
Gas Viscosity at High Pressure and High Temperature
(2012-02-14)
Gas viscosity is one of the gas properties that is vital to petroleum engineering. Its role in
the oil and gas production and transportation is indicated by its contribution in the
resistance to the flow of a fluid both ...
Generalized Correlations to Estimate Oil Recovery and Pore Volumes Injected in Waterflooding Projects
(2012-02-14)
When estimating a waterflood performance and ultimate recovery, practitioners usually prepare a plot of log of water-oil ratio vs. cumulative production or recovery factor and extrapolate the linear section of the curve ...
16S rRNA-Based Tag Pyrosequencing of Complex Food and Wastewater Environments: Microbial Diversity and Dynamics
(2012-02-14)
Environmental microbiology has traditionally been performed using culture-based methods. However, in the last few decades, the emergence of molecular methods has changed the field considerably. The latest development in ...
