Stream Classification System Based on Susceptibility to Algal Growth in Response to Nutrients

We developed a stream classification system that is based on stream’s susceptibility to algal growth using a two-step approach. The model portrays algal biomass as a result of stream’s response to nutrient concentrations and the response is governed by various stream factors. In the first step, a nutrient-chlorophyll a relationship was developed to characterize nutrient’s effects on algal biomass. Residuals of the relationship were attributed to stream’s susceptibility to algal growth in response to nutrients and referred to as “observed” susceptibility. In the second step, conditions of other contributing factors were used to explain the variation in the residuals and the developed relationship was used to generate “predicted” susceptibility. Existing data compiled from various monitoring projects of Illinois streams and rivers were used to illustrate the approach. Streams were classified into three (high, medium, and low) categories based on their observed and predicted susceptibility values, respectively. With the available data, the model showed a 40-50% success rate for classifying the streams based on three observed and predicted susceptibility categories. Model entropy also was calculated for selecting the best model. The results show the important role of both nutrients and other contributing factors in explaining the variation of algal biomass. The study also suggests ways to fine tune the model and improve its accuracy, which would make the presented model a more viable tool for stream classification for establishing nutrient criteria to prevent surface streams from eutrophication.     

New encapsulation development for fine pitch IC devices

The continuous reduction of chip size driven by the market demand has a significant impact on circuit design and assembly process of IC packages. Shrinking chip size and increasing I/O counts require finer bond pad pitch and bond pad size for circuitry layout. As a result, serious wire deflection during transfer molding process could make adjacent wires short, and this issue becomes more critical as a smaller wire diameter has to be applied for the finer pitch wire bonded IC devices.This paper presents a new encapsulation process development for 50 μm fine pitch plastic ball grid array package. Since reduced wire diameter decreases the bending strength of bonded wires significantly, wire deflection during molding process becomes quite serious and critical. Experiments on conventional transfer molding were conducted to evaluate wire span threshold with 23.0 μm diameter gold wire. The results show that the wire span threshold is about 4.1 mm, which is much shorter than the wire span threshold of over 5.0 mm for wire with 25.4 μm diameter. Finite element analysis shows there is a significant difference in the wire deflection between 23.0 μm gold wire and 25.4 μm gold wire diameter under the same action of mold flow. A novel encapsulation method is introduced using non-sweep solution. The wire span could be extended to over 5.0 mm with wire sweep less than 1%. Reliability tests conducted showed that all the units passed 1000 temperature cycles (−55 to 125 °C) with JEDEC moisture sensitivity level 2a (60 °C/60% relative humidity for 120 h) and 3 times reflow (peak temperature at 220–225 °C). It is believed that this solution could efficiently overcome the risk of wire short issues and improve the yield of ultra fine pitch wire bonds in high-volume production.

Enhancement of islanding-detection of distributed generation systems via wavelet transform-based approaches

In this paper, a wavelet transform-based approach is proposed to detect the occurrence of islanding events in distributed generation systems. Thanks to time–frequency localization capabilities exhibited by wavelet transform, the approach embedded with this transform technique has grasped the appearance of the islanding event in a highly effective manner. Moreover, for those regions which are in need of a better visualization, the proposed approach would serve as an efficient aid such that the mains power disconnection can be better distinguished. To validate the feasibility of this approach, the method has been validated through several scenarios. Test results supported the effectiveness of the method for the application considered.     

A further result on global stabilization of oscillators with bounded delayed input

This note revisits the problem of globally stabilizing an oscillator with a bounded delayed input. It establishes that an oscillator with input saturation can be globally asymptotically stabilized by a linear state feedback even in the presence of an arbitrarily large delay in the input. This result strengthens a recent result in the literature, which shows that such an oscillator can be globally asymptotically stabilized with a sufficiently small control input and the magnitude of the control input goes to zero as the delay increases to infinity. The controller constructed in this note thus improves the efficiency of the closed-loop system by fully utilizing the actuator capacity.     

Low Electrical Percolation Threshold of Silver and Copper Nanowires in Polystyrene Composites

Silver and copper nanowires have been synthesized using a scalable method of AC electrodeposition into porous aluminum oxide templates, which produces gram quantities of metal nanowires ca. 25 nm in diameter and up to 5 and 10 μm in length for Ag and Cu, respectively. The nanowires have been used to prepare polystyrene nanocomposites by solution processing. Electrical resistivity measurements performed on polymer nanocomposites containing different volume fractions of metal indicate that low percolation thresholds of nanowires are attained between compositions of 0.25 and 0.75 vol %.     

An ARQ scheme using combined QPSK and BPSK transmissions

We propose a hybrid ARQ scheme which uses QPSK modulation for the first transmission and BPSK modulation for retransmissions. The throughput performance of the proposed ARQ scheme is better that those of ARQ schemes purely using QPSK modulation or purely using BPSK modulation for transmissions. Furthermore, the proposed scheme does not require any operation of error correction as usually required in hybrid ARQ schemes. Therefore, the ARQ scheme proposed in this paper can be easily implemented     

A MULTIAXIAL FATIGUE DAMAGE MODEL FOR ORTHOTROPIC MATERIALS UNDER PROPORTIONAL LOADING

A new multiaxial fatigue damage model for orthotropic materials is proposed based on the strain vector. Six material constants are included in the model. These material constants represent the dependence of fatigue resistance on material orientation, and they can be obtained by conducting strain-controlled uniaxial fatigue tests along the three principal orthotropic directions of an orthotropic material. The model can also be transformed in new coordinate systems to predict the fatigue lives of new material orientations. Biaxial low-cycle fatigue tests are conducted to verify the model. The prediction of the model agrees with the experimental results reasonably well.
