3,5-Bis(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)pyrazolyl complexes of Coinage Metals
(2018-05-16)Pyrazoles are an important class of five membered heterocyclic compounds consisting of two nitrogen atoms. Pyrazolate anions serve as useful ligands in coordination chemistry. When fluorinated substituents are attached to ... -
3-D Fracture Study Of The BEoL Cu/Low-k Stack To Assess And Mitigate The CPI Risk During The Reflow Process
(Mechanical Engineering, 2014-03-12)As scaling of components continues, using SiO2 as a dielectric in the Back-End-Of-Line (BEoL) is no longer a viable option and can be replaced with low-k and ultralow-k (ULK) dielectric materials for advanced integrated ... -
3-dimensional Scanning And Reconstruction Using A Modified HRT-RCM Corneal Confocal Microscope
(Biomedical Engineering, 2012-04-11)The HRT II - Rostock Corneal Module (HRT II-RCM) provides excellent resolution, contrast and optical sectioning capability for cornea imaging. It offers the most detailed views of cornea structure and pathology. However, ... -
3D Interconnects For Die And Wafer Stacks
(Electrical Engineering, 2007-08-23)3D integration results from the ever demanding trend towards smaller and lower-profile, lighter and lower cost packaged devices requires further package miniaturization. With the present System-on-chip (SOC) technology ... -
3D Microstructural characterization of heart valve leaflets
(2023-06-30)Heart valve disease is common in the world today and understanding the anatomical linkages, collagen, and elastin microstructures between the various heart valves is important for developing effective treatments. Four heart ... -
3D SKELETON CONSTRUCTION FROM MULTIPLE CAMERA VIEWS FOR QUANTIFYING GAIT PARAMETERS
(2020-06-05)Research has shown that human gait characteristics permit inference with respect to different personal and health characteristics and can thus be used as a diagnostic tool. To do this automatically it is important to be ... -
5 cm Gap Injury Repair: Growth Factor Support And Functional Analysis In A Rabbit Common Peroneal Nerve Model
(Biomedical Engineering, 12-10-2012)Nerve conduits have shown to successfully bridge nerve gaps of ≤ 3 cm; however repair of longer, mixed or motor nerve gaps still remains a clinical challenge. In order to study regeneration techniques in clinically relevant ... -
