Abstract:
In the course of litigation against an ex-employee, Gould, Inc. (Gould) allegedly learned that its proprietary technical data had been improperly supplied to Mitsui Mining & Smelting Co., Ltd. (Mitsui) and Miyakoshi Machine Tools Co., Ltd. (Miyakoshi), which then used those trade secrets in a joint venture with Pechiney Ugine Kuhlmann, a French state-owned company, and its wholly owned subsidiary, Trefimetaux (Pechiney/Trefimetaux). Gould filed a civil lawsuit against Pechiney/Trefimetaux, together with Mitsui and Miyakoshi, in U.S. district court, alleging violations of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations provisions of the Organized Crime Control Act of 1970 (18 U.S.C. §1961-1968 (1988)) (RICO). Gould’s complaint also included claims of unfair competition and unjust enrichment based upon the defendants’ alleged misappropriation of trade secrets. On the motion of Pechiney/Trefimetaux, the district court held that the civil RICO claim should be dismissed because, as “foreign states” under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 (28 U.S.C. §1330, 1602-1611 (1988)) (FSIA), Pechiney and Trefimetaux were immune from criminal indictment for the acts alleged to have formed the basis for the RICO violation.

Abstract:
Background: MGD013 is an investigational, first-in-class, Fc-bearing bispecific tetravalent DART molecule designed to bind PD-1 and LAG-3 and sustain/restore the function of exhausted T cells (1). MGD013 demonstrates in vitro ligand blocking properties and improved T-cell responses beyond that observed with anti-PD-1 and anti-LAG-3 benchmark antibodies alone or in combination. PD-1 targeted therapy with nivolumab in patients (pts) with relapsed or refractory (R/R) diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) has yielded modest efficacy (2). LAG-3, highly expressed in DLBCL (3), has emerged as another therapeutic target of interest in this population with continued unmet need. Methods: This study characterizes the safety, tolerability, dose-limiting toxicities, maximum tolerated dose, PK/PD, and antitumor activity of MGD013 in pts with advanced solid and hematologic malignancies. R/R DLBCL pts are being treated at the recommended Phase 2 dose of 600 mg every two weeks in Cohort Expansion. Results: At data-cutoff, 17 DLBCL pts received MGD013 (2.5 median prior lines of therapy, 41.2% with prior CAR-T therapy). Treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) occurred in 11/17 (64.7%) pts, with no same TRAE occurring in > 1 patient except pyrexia (n=3). One grade ≥ 3 TRAE occurred (pneumonia), and no events of tumor lysis syndrome were observed. Among 11 response-evaluable pts (i.e. received at least one on-treatment scan), 1 complete response (CR) and 3 partial responses (PRs) per the Lugano Classification were observed. Analyses of available pre-treatment tumor biopsy samples corresponding to responding pts demonstrated relatively high levels of LAG-3, PD-1, and PD-L1 by IHC. More comprehensive translational analyses were undertaken for the pt with CR, observed after a single MGD013 infusion in a 28-year-old male in relapse 6 months after CD19-directed CAR T-cell therapy. In contrast to a pre-CAR T biopsy specimen demonstrating no LAG-3 or PD-1 expression, IHC analysis of a lymph node specimen biopsied post-CAR T and prior to MGD013 treatment revealed high levels of both LAG-3 and PD-1 on both infiltrating T-cells and malignant B-cells. Consistent with CD19 CAR T resistance, no CD19 expression was evident. MHC class II and PD-L1 expression were observed, which when bound to LAG-3 and PD-1, respectively, form immune checkpoints that can decrease T cell function. Following MGD013 treatment, serum IFN-γ markedly increased to >140-fold above baseline. No significant changes were observed for IL-6 or IL-2. Expansion of circulating CD3+CD8+ and CD3+CD4-CD8- T-cell subsets and associated cytolytic markers (i.e., perforin, granzyme B) were observed following MGD013 treatment. The patient underwent allogeneic stem cell transplant (allo-SCT) and remains in remission 14 months post-MGD013 and 12 months post-allo-SCT. Further correlative biomarker analyses are underway in the ongoing clinical trial. Conclusion: MGD013, a novel molecule designed to coordinately block PD-1 and LAG-3, has preliminarily demonstrated an acceptable safety profile and encouraging early evidence of anti-tumor activity in R/R DLBCL pts with and without prior treatment with CAR T. Biomarker analyses confirmed expression of both PD-1 and LAG-3 axes in responding pts with evidence of pharmacodynamic responses consistent with the ability of MGD013 to enhance T-cell function.

Abstract:
Immunohistochemistry (IHC) of tissue samples is considered the gold standard for diagnosing feline infectious peritonitis (FIP), and, in cats without body cavity effusion, IHC is the only method available to establish definitive antemortem diagnosis. However, IHC requires invasive tissue sample collection. We evaluated sensitivity and specificity of an immunocytochemical assay of fine-needle aspirates (FNAs) of mesenteric lymph nodes that can be obtained noninvasively by ultrasound-guided aspiration to diagnose FIP. FNAs of mesenteric lymph nodes were obtained postmortem from 41 cats suspected of having FIP based on clinical and/or laboratory findings. FIP was confirmed immunohistochemically in 30 cats. In the other 11 cats, a disease other than FIP, which explained the clinical signs, was diagnosed histopathologically. Immunocytochemistry (ICC) was performed as an avidin–biotin complex method using a monoclonal anti-FCoV IgG 2A. Sensitivity, specificity, negative and positive predictive values (NPV, PPV, respectively) including 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were determined. ICC was positive in 17 of 30 cats with FIP, but also in 1 of 11 control cats that was diagnosed with lymphoma. Sensitivity of ICC was 53% (95% CI: 34–72); specificity 91% (95% CI: 59–100); NPV 42% (95% CI: 22–63); and PPV 94% (95% CI: 71–100). In a lethal disease such as FIP, specificity is most important in order to avoid euthanasia of unaffected cats. Given that a false-positive result occurred and FIP was correctly detected in only approximately half of the cases of FIP, ICC of mesenteric lymph node FNA alone cannot reliably confirm or exclude FIP, but can be a helpful test in conjunction with other diagnostic measures.

Abstract:
Estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PgR), Ki-67, and HER2 immunohistochemistry (IHC) together with HER2 in situ hybridization (ISH) are utilized to classify invasive breast cancer (IBC) into predictive molecular subtypes. As IHC evaluation may be hampered by analytical errors, gene expression assays could offer a reliable alternative. In this first Europe-wide external quality assessment (EQA) study, we investigated performance of mRNA-based Xpert® Breast Cancer STRAT4 (CE-IVD) in five European laboratories. The cohort comprised ten pre-therapy IBC core biopsies diagnosed in the coordinating center (CC). STRAT4 binary (positive or negative) mRNA results of each marker (ESR1, PGR, ERBB2, MKI67) were compared with the gold standard IHC/ISH performed by the CC. Sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of ESR1 and ERBB2 mRNA were 100% for all samples. In contrast, PGR expression was falsely negative for one case by two sites and MKI67 falsely negative for two cases (respectively by four and one sites). These cases had STRAT4 expression values close to assay cut-offs and immunohistochemically presented heterogeneous low positive PgR and heterogeneous Ki-67. Our EQA shows that STRAT4 mRNA assay may be a reproducible method to evaluate ER, PgR, HER2, and Ki-67 status. However, cases with expression values close to assay cut-offs should be carefully reviewed.

Abstract:
This thesis presents a research program designed to evaluate the performance of the gold gravity circuit at Les Mines Camchib Inc.
A detailed sampling program was conducted on the grinding and gravity circuits. Samples were screened and each size class was processed on a Mozley Laboratory Separator to determine free gold content. The performance of pinched sluices, Knelson concentrators, and a riffleless table is characterized on the basis of particle size, shape and liberation of gold. The amount of total gold and free gold in each size class of grinding circuit streams was also determined.
The pinched sluices recover from 8 to 17% gold in 4.8 to 7.3% of the mass. The double sluice recovers slightly more gold at a higher yield than the single sluice. In addition, the double sluice performed better at a higher feed density.
The 76 cm (30") Knelson recovers 62 to 71% of the feed gold, at very high upgrading ratios (326 to 480). Free gold recovery is high, generally above 90% for all size classes. Gold recovery decreases when wash water pressure is lowered from 100 to 40 kPa; a 90 minute cycle time does not cause concentrate overload, i.e. decreased gold recovery.
The 19 cm (7.5") Knelson used in the gold room yielded 90% recovery. Reprocessing the tails in the same unit give only a marginal gold recovery, suggesting that a single pass is adequate. Fine gold losses on the riffleless table are significant, especially in $-$38 $ mu$m (400 mesh).

Abstract:
Magíster en Gestión y Dirección de Empresas
Yamana Gold Inc. es una compañía productora de oro con casa matriz en Canadá. La adherencia a las metas de la VPO Chile Argentina de la Compañía se encuentra por debajo de lo esperado ya que al término del año 2016 se alcanzó un 93,3 % de la producción de oro, con un costo un 13,8 % sobre el planificado, existiendo una gran influencia de la baja gestión de las plantas de las distintas unidades en estos resultados. Para mejorar esta situación, se ha desarrollado un Modelo de Gestión Unificado para Plantas de Procesamiento de Mineral, que reúne en una metodología las mejores prácticas operacionales y experiencias de los profesionales de la Compañía, con objeto de estandarizar los procesos y utilizar herramientas de gestión efectivas y así mejorar los resultados. El Modelo se basa en 10 pilares creados a partir de las debilidades que se detectaron en las distintas unidades, cada pilar tiene sub ítems que una vez implementados satisfactoriamente debiesen contribuir a lograr las metas establecidas por la Compañía. El producto del trabajo es un Manual de Gestión que contiene el Modelo, además de la planificación propuesta para la implementación en las unidades. La metodología propuesta para la etapa de implementación se basa en conceptos de gestión de cambios conocidos y aceptados por distintas industrias. Particularmente este trabajo utiliza el modelo de John P. Kotter, Además de la planificación para la implementación, se presenta un calendario de auditorías de seguimiento, actividades que tienen por finalidad evaluar el avance de cada unidad respecto al estándar establecido y detectar oportunamente posibles desvíos y que permitan a los ejecutivos tomar las acciones necesarias para mejorar los resultados como es esperado. La potencialidad de los beneficios a ser capturados por estos conceptos es muy significativa, como ejemplo, si se considera un aumento en un 0,5 % del procesamiento de mineral en las 3 unidades de proceso, producto de la aplicación de las herramientas de gestión, se puede llegar a obtener ganancias del orden de USD 3.000.000 por año. La inversión cuantificada para este desarrollo e implementación es de USD 412.000, lográndose una agregación de valor importante para la Compañía. Se espera que esta herramienta de trabajo sea aceptada rápidamente por la organización, debido al involucramiento desde el inicio de los responsables directos de los procesos. Al realizar el trabajo de esta manera, se logra un producto diseñado acorde a la necesidad de la organización que tendrá mayores probabilidades de éxito en la etapa de implementación.

Abstract:
The Sun within the World: Wakas and Saints in the Mines of Charcas and in Lake Titicaca (15th-17th Centuries)Mines and mining offer both for the Andean as the Spanish systems of beliefs the background of a setting in which were developed rites and cult complexes, and if there was an adaptation of European beliefs it is because there existed compatibilities between the two systems of representing the world. Alchemical beliefs approximated, in some manner, both the etiological myth of the Inca-Sun and the the same myth of origin of Andean gold, which was a solar myth. However, the encounter between the two systems of representation did not necessarily determine a series of syncretic practices. All appearances indicate that in Potosi, in the middle of the 17th century, the cult to the Virgin-mountain did not correspond to a popular practice, but neither did it preclude the practice of various autochthonous cults of major historical significance which, in turn, were related among themselves. In the present work, these shamanic cults are analyzed in different mines. The images that issued from them put in play a series of artifacts, of figures and entities that were also encountered in the description of the old Colla cult of the Island of Titicaca, heir of Tiwanaku. All these cults were influenced to a large degree by the religious system elaborated by the Incas.
Las minas ofrecieron tanto al sistema de creencias andino como al español el trasfondo de un paisaje en el que se desarrollaron ritos y cultos complejos, y si hubo una adaptación de las creencias europeas fue porque existían compatibilidades entre los dos sistemas de representación del mundo. Las creencias alquímicas se acercaban, de alguna manera, tanto al mito etiológico del Inca-Sol como al mito de origen del oro andino, que era un mito solar. Sin embargo, el encuentro de esos sistemas de representación no determinó forzosamente una serie de prácticas sincréticas. Todo parece indicar que en Potosí, a mediados del siglo XVII, el culto a la Virgen-cerro no correspondía a una práctica popular, pero tampoco impedía la práctica de varios cultos autóctonos de mayor profundidad histórica que, a su vez, estaban relacionados entre ellos. En el presente trabajo, estos cultos chamánicos se analizan en el caso de diferentes minas. Las imágenes que se desprenden de ellos ponen en juego una serie de artefactos, figuras y entidades que encontramos también en la descripción del viejo culto colla de la isla de Titicaca, heredera de Tiwanaku. Todos estos cultos influenciaron gran parte del sistema religioso elaborado por los incas.

Abstract:
Alongside exponential rises in global prices for gold, there has been a concurrent rise in the geographical scope of the artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) sector. This poverty-driven activity has been associated with elevated levels of environmental degradation, a high degree of informality, poor health and safety practices and below market prices for their gold. Despite these putatively conceived problems, there has been a historical and widespread failure by policy makers to significantly improve thesocio-economic and environmental conditions facing ASM’s operators. Recently, however, there has been a noticeable shift in the ways in which the governance of the sector is enacted. This thesis critically analyses the emergence of one such example, namely the Fairtrade Labelling Organistion and the Alliance for Responsible Mining’s dual launch of ‘Fairtrade’ and ‘Fairmined’ (FT/FM) certified gold. Inspired by the past successes for the movement in a range of agrifood products and grounded in the discourse of ‘fairness’, its application to ASM promises better prices in exchange for the fulfilment of standards relating to environmental stewardship,a commitment to democratic structures and responsible mining practices. Following the experiences of Fairtrade gold in nine pilot projects in Latin America, its expansion into gold producing countries in sub-Saharan African countries seems inevitable. However, there has been a lack of academic research into its efficacy, a gap that this thesis fills by examining the potential of both the discursive and material ways that Fairtrade and Fairmined gold may operate in Tanzania. It is revealed that ASM operators are negatively represented by conventional thinking as variously criminal, irresponsible and irrational. Against this background, it is argued that the intervention of FT/FM gold can be read through an environmental and social justice framework, one that presents a counter-narrative of ASM as a valued livelihood strategy marked by environmental responsibility. The struggles for greater recognition and more equitable distribution for ASM operators are premised, most critically on a movetowards a new, ‘fair’ way of mining. Building upon a critical examination of the politics of these discursiveconstructs, the thesis presents a critical examination of ‘fairness’ in practice through a case study. Indeed, a private company, African Precious Metals (APM), has constructed four ‘Fair Trade Gold Centres’ that offer ASM operators in the Mwanza and Shinyanga regions of Tanzania a new means of selling gold. Ideologically separate to the FT/FM model outlined above, their presence in local marketing arrangements for ASM gold has served to obscure the way that ‘fairness’ is conceptualised by ASM operators in the area. Moreover, their substantive failure in policy terms, allied to their close rhetorical association with FT/FM, has served to damage the moral ballast of ‘fairness’ found in the ‘Fairtrade’ gold discourse. Through the critical analysis of life histories narrated by ASM operators in Tanzania, this thesis reveals that there is a substantive gap between the ways in which ‘fairness’ in discursively conceptualised and how it is practically realised. Notable findings that compromise FT/FM’s potential efficacy include the fact that the ‘Fair Trade’ price is significantly lower than local market conditions and that, in the light of their historical failure, there is a deeply-rooted mistrust of development intervention more broadly. In struggling for a ‘fair’ future for ASM’s operators, the Fairtrade movement must also remain careful to avoid the paternalism that has defined erstwhile ASM policy that has promoted partnership.

Abstract:
Quartz and pyrite samples from Pliocene-recent, sub-economic orogenic gold mineralisation in the Southern Alps and Mesozoic economic deposits in the Otago Schist Belt have been analysed for noble gases and halogens. Palaeo-hydrothermal fluids preserved in fluid inclusions were released by crushing and analysed by mass spectrometry. Helium isotope measurements confirm the absence of a mantle-derived fluid component in gold-bearing veins from the Southern Alps and at the large gold deposit at Macraes in Otago. A possible minor mantle helium component is observed in veins within 10km of the Alpine Fault that do not contain gold. Halogen ratios support the absence of mantle-derived fluid and support the presence of a crustal fluid derived from sediments, indicated by high I/Cl ratios. Mixing trends between 40Ar/36Ar and Cl/36Ar indicate mixing between a meteoric-derived fluid or air and crust-derived fluid in all sample types. A correlation between 40Ar/36Ar and 132Xe/36Ar shows that xenon is also sourced from the crustal fluid. Despite a strong crustal-radiogenic Ar signal in some samples, measured neon isotope ratios are atmosphere like. Noble gas elemental ratios show strongly fractionated 20Ne/36Ar away from air-saturated water and air values in deeper formed veins, suggesting air contamination is not dominant. Evidence for the presence of a significant trapped vapour phase is provided by calculated noble gas concentrations in water. Formation of this vapour phase using a two-stage model of de-gassing of meteoric water, and subsequent partial re-dissolution by a Rayleigh fractionation process could account for fractionated 20Ne/36Ar and atmospheric neon isotope ratios. In the Southern Alps, three main types of mineralisation can be identified by noble gas and halogen properties. Deep forming veins contain the most gold and are characterised by 20Ne/36Ar greater than air, 132Xe/36Ar ratios up to 75 times the air value, indicating metamorphic and meteoric fluid components. Some deep ankeritic type veins that display evidence of a CO2-rich component fluid show the highest 20Ne/36Ar ratios. Shallow, late veins have 20Ne/36Ar between air-saturated water and air values, and lower xenon and iodine contents. These veins formed from a boiling rock-exchanged meteoric fluid with a minor metamorphic fluid component and contain less gold. The characteristics of the Nenthorn deposit in Otago are similar to those of the shallow Alpine veins. The economically significant Macraes deposit possibly formed from a meteoric component and a strong metamorphic fluid component derived from the original sediments. This is indicated by the highest levels of excess xenon (relative to air) determined in this study. There is some potential for xenon to be used to fingerprint gold bearing fluids sourced from similar metasedimentary piles in orogenic belts.

Abstract:
Pine tree substrate (PTS) is a relatively new substrate for container crop production. There are no detailed studies that elucidate how storage time impacts PTS chemical, physical, and biological aspects. The objective of this research was to determine how PTS storage time influenced PTS chemical and physical properties, nitrification, and plant growth. Pine tree substrate was manufactured by hammer-milling chips of loblolly pine trees (Pinus taeda L.) through two screen sizes, 4.76 mm (PTS) and 15.9 mm amended with peat (PTSP). PTS and PTSP were amended with lime at five rates. A peat-perlite mix (PL) served as a control treatment. Prepared substrates were placed in storage bags and stored in an open shed in Blacksburg, Virginia. Subsamples were taken at 1, 42, 84, 168, 270, and 365 days. At each subsampling day, twelve 1-L containers were filled with each substrate. Six containers were left fallow and six were planted with marigold (Tagetes erecta L. â Inca Goldâ ) seedlings. Substrate was also collected from select treatments for Most Probable Number assays to estimate density of nitrifying microorganisms, and for chemical and physical property analyses. Pour-through extracts were collected from fallow containers at 0, 2, and 4 weeks, and from marigold containers at harvest for determination of pH, electrical conductivity, ammonium-N and nitrate-N. At harvest, marigold height, width, and dry weight were measured. At least 1 kgâ ¢m-3 lime for PTS, and 2 to 4 kgâ ¢m-3 lime for PTSP were needed to maintain pH values â ¥ 5.5 for 365 days. Bound acidity of unlimed PTS increased but cation exchange capacity for unlimed PTS and PTSP decreased over 365 days. Carbon to nitrogen ratio and bulk density values were unchanged over time in all treatments. There were minor changes in particle size distribution for limed PTS and unlimed and limed PTSP. Marigold growth in PTS and PTSP was â ¥ PL in all limed treatments, except at day 1. Nitrite-oxidizing microorganisms were present and nitrification occurred in PTS and PTSP at all subsampling days. Pine tree substrate is relatively stable in storage, but pH decreases, and lime addition may be necessary to offset this decrease.

ABSTRACT Overarching this thesis is an interdisciplinary project that marries social studies and literary theories to re-examine Asian American studies in transitioning from Americentric criticism into a “subjectless discourse.” Responding to such aim, Lawrence Chua’s 1998 novel Gold by the Inch envisions Southeast Asia as a radically untapped resource for new trajectories in the field. The novel calls for a deconstructive reading because time and again, the reader experiences estrangement from its depiction of fragmented worlds and a sense of detachment recounted by the nameless protagonist. Chua’s narrative strategy to defamiliarize the reader from such intimacy underscores the conundrum brought forth by today’s global capitalism in forging definitive personal, cultural, or sexual identity of a diasporan. In Chapter One, I undertake an analysis of the concept of belonging in the form of identity and home, both of which are as fluid and heterogeneous as migrant subjects come to acknowledge in their diasporic experiences. Chapter Two focuses on the mechanism of neocolonial capital dictating the modernization imperatives in Southeast Asia imposed by the nation-states alongside global agencies, while at the same time dehumanizes the landless locals and exposes the predicament of laboring bodies in the international division of labor. Chapter Three discusses the intervention of advanced capitalism in the fashioning of queer culture, sexuality, and subjectivity in queer capitals that results in the commodification of such desire. Taken together, this thesis suggests a reinvigorated framework to address the problematics of return narrative by foregrounding transnational space as a fertile ground from which identity and belonging can be envisaged, as well as by reevaluating iterations of queer culture at the juncture of a transnational age. Keywords: Lawrence Chua, Gold by the Inch, diaspora, identity, capitalism, queer

Abstract:
The transient thermal flash technique, originally developed for testing low thermal diffusivity micro/nanofibers, was implemented for measuring the thermal conductivity of vapor-grown carbon nanofibers. The present technique uses a microfabricated strip of gold, which acts both as a heater and a temperature sensor. The modifications were validated against commercially available carbon fibers (Pyrograf® – I from Applied Sciences, Inc. and Mitsubishi K13D2U) and the results obtained were seen to match values previously reported in the literature. The carbon nanofibers reported in this article were also obtained from Applied Sciences, Inc. and are known as PR-25, belonging to the Pyrograf® – III family of nanofibers. The thermal conductivities calculated based on the experimentally determined values of diffusivity along with the specific heat capacity and density of graphite were around 1100 W/m-K and 1700 W/m-K, respectively for the nanofibers heat treated to 1100 °C and 3000 °C.

Abstract:
This paper summarizes the intermetallic compounds (IMC) formation at the interface between thermal interface material (TIM) and nickel/gold plated integrated heat spreader (IHS) at varying Au thickness, and its impact on thermal reliability. Indium solders due to their high thermal conductivity are commonly used as the TIM to dissipate heat from silicon die to the thermal lids for new generation microprocessors with higher operating die temperatures. Indium solders readily wet the Au plating on thermal lids to form IMC during soldering. Optimal Au thickness is essential; Au thickness should be thick enough for reliable soldering, but must also be thin enough to offset the high cost and to prevent formation of a brittle Au-rich IMC layer in the solder joint. AuIn2 is the preferred IMC for indium-gold soldering and does not embrittle the solder joint. Resulting IMC type depends on the Au:In ratio which can be predicted by a In-Au binary phase diagram. On this basis, critical Au plating thickness to form AuIn2 IMC can be estimated using the known density values for electroplated gold and indium. In this study, Au thicknesses ranging from 0.035 to 0.2μm with a fixed gold pad size were electrolytically plated on a nickel plated copper lid. Assembled units were then subjected to Temperature Cycling-B (TCB). An in-house developed metrology for measuring junction-to-case thermal impedance (Rjc) is described. In this study, varying the thermal lids Au-plating thickness between 0.035 to 0.2 μm only lead to slight increase in center and corner Rjc values through 115 cycles TCB. The maximum center Rjc degradation post thermal cycling observed was only ∼ 1.7% on the lids with Au pad thickness between 0.035 – 0.04 μm. There were also no clear indications of impact of Au pad thickness on center and corner Rjc performance at EOL or post 115 cycles TCB. Thermal lids/TIM interface integrity remains unchanged for the range of Au pad thickness considered. However, detailed scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy showed thicker Au plating results in greater incidence of AuIn2 IMC nodules beneath In-Ni-Au ternary IMC layer at end of line (EOL) ie post packaging and test. AuIn2 IMC is formed right after assembly and is what that holds the solder to the lid. As such, it follows that the presence of a more continuous and possibly greater number of AuIn2 IMC nodules can be expected to provide a better lid-solder joint at EOL.

Abstract:
Employing the fountain pen principle, a micropipette is used to write an Au nanoparticle ink on glass substrates. A continuous-wave laser (488–515 nm) is subsequently used as a controlled, localized energy source to evaporate the carrier liquid (toluene) in the ink and sinter the nanoparticles together thus fabricating continuous gold stripes 5 micrometers in width and a few hundred nanometers in height. The scanning speed, the laser intensity, and the degree of defocusing are identified as important parameters to the successful manufacturing of the gold microstructures. The electrical resistivity of the stripes, within the parametric domain of the present work, is measured to be the order of 10−6 ohm-m.

Abstract:
In this study, pulsed laser based curing of a printed nanoink (nanoparticle ink) combined with moderate and controlled substrate heating was investigated to create microconductors at low enough temperatures appropriate for polymeric substrates. The present work relies on (1) melting temperature depression of nanoparticles smaller than a critical size, (2) DOD (drop on demand) jettability of nanoparticle ink and (3) small heat affected zone of pulsed laser heating. In the experiment, gold nanoparticles of 3–7nm diameter dissolved in toluene solvent was used as ink. This nanoink was printed on a polymeric substrate which was heated to evaporate the solvent during or after printing. The overall morphology of the gold microline was determined during the printing process and was controlled by changing the substrate temperature during jetting. By employing a micro-second pulsed laser, the nanoparticles were melted and coalesced at a low temperature to form a conductive microline which has 4–5 times higher resistivity than the bulk value without damaging the temperature sensitive polymeric substrate.

Abstract:
Intensive efforts have been put into the use of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) for the enhancement of hyperthermia using laser in recent years since the groundbreaking work of Hirsh et al.(1) using gold nanoshells (GNS). Both in vitro (2), and in vivo (3) studies show promising results. For example, GNS, a special kind of GNP, are being manufactured and are in clinical trials (Nanospectra Bioscience, Inc). While the data is compelling, unfortunately the fundamentals of GNP heating are not entirely understood. For example, there are large discrepancies in the experimentally measured photothermal efficiency of GNPs (4, 5). Furthermore, lumped models of GNP heating in solution, by using small volume of GNP solution (4, 5), or stirring the solution (6), neglecting the variation of heat absorption throughout a system require improvement. In reality, the GNPs will attenuate the laser beam as it passes through the GNP host medium. GNPs at different locations will absorb different amount of laser energy and hence have different heat generation.

Abstract:
Solid liquid inter diffusion (SLID) is an interconnection technique for electronic packaging, particularly beneficial for high power and harsh environments conditions. It consists of the bonding of two materials with different melting points at a low processing temperature to achieve a high melting point interconnection. The materials investigated in this work are a gold-tin bond attaching a SiC diode to an AlN direct-bond-copper (DBC) substrate. Gold (Au) is the high melting point constituent while the eutectic gold-tin (80 wt.% Au-20 wt.%Sn) offers the low melting point (280°C). This work is aimed at the microstructural evaluation of the joints at different bonding and aging conditions in an effort to get the insights of this interconnection technology from a metallurgical perspective. Four different bonding conditions were used: 315°C-5min, 315°C-10min, 340°C-1min and 340°C-5min; from which a base-line as built condition was assessed by means of metallographical analysis. Furthermore, the samples were aged at 250°C from 1000 to 4000 hours in increments of 1000hrs to study and quantify the microstructural stability and intermetallic (IMC) growth at the interface. This aging experiment has been designed to obtain accelerated information on the kinetics of this reaction so that predictive models can be developed for the real application conditions. The samples were diced, polished and analyzed following standard metallographical techniques; both optical and electronic microscopy (SEM-EDS) was employed. The as-built samples, for the four bonding conditions, presented differences in IMC growth with the thickest layers appearing at the harshest processing conditions. After aging the IMC kept growing and the formation of a new IMC layer was discovered and investigated, furthermore, cracks started to show in some of the samples. It was observed that after 4000 hours some of the cracks extended across the whole interface.

Abstract:
Wire bonding is predominant mode of interconnect in electronics packaging. Traditionally material used for wire bonding is gold. But industry is slowly replacing gold wire bond by copper-aluminum wire bond because of the lower cost and better mechanical properties than gold, such as high strength, high thermal conductivity etc. Numerous studies have been done to analyze failure mechanism of Cu-Al wire bonds. Cu-Al interface is a predominant location for failure of the wirebond interconnects. In this paper, the use of intermetallic thickness as leading indicator-of-failure for prognostication of remaining useful life for Cu-Al wire bond interconnects has been studied. For analysis, 32 pin chip scale packages were used. Packages were aged isothermally at 200°C and 250°C for 10 days. Packages were withdrawn periodically after 24 hours and its IMC thickness was measured using SEM. The parts have been prognosticated for accrued damage and remaining useful life in current or anticipated future deployment environment. The presented methodology uses evolution of the IMC thickness in conjunction with the Levenberg-Marquardt Algorithm to identify accrued damage in wire bond subjected to thermal aging. The proposed method can be used for equivalency of damage accrued in Cu-Al parts subjected to multiple thermal aging environments.

Abstract Gene transfer technology changes some of the characteristics of crops. However, genetically modified foods have been reported to have an impact on human health. We proposed a cost effective and highly sensitive biosensor electrode with self-assembled monolayer of gold nanoparticle on a micro hemisphere array to detect genetically modified soybean. An ordered array of micro hemispherical features was formed on a 6-inch reclaimed silicon wafer using photolithography. Then, a thin gold layer was sputtered onto the hemispheres. The wafer was then immersed into a 5 mM ethanol solution of 1,6-hexanedithiol (1,6-HDT) to enable the attachment of one thio-end of 1,6-HDT to the thin gold layer. Next, a colloidal gold (15 nm) solution was dripped onto the wafer and baked on a hot plate in such a way that the monolayer of gold nanoparticles could self-assemble on the 1,6-HDT surface. Finally, we used electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) analysis to detect genetically modified soybean. Experimental results demonstrate that our biosensor can successfully distinguish the genetically modified soybeans from the normal ones.

Full text
Abstract:
Full information maximum likelihood (FIML) is an important approach to compensating for nonresponse in data analysis. Unfortunately, only a few software packages implement FIML and even fewer have the capability to compensate for missing not at random (MNAR) nonresponse. One of these packages is Statistical Innovations’ Latent GOLD; however, the user documentation for Latent GOLD provides no mention of this capability. The purpose of this paper is to provide guidance for fitting MNAR FIML models for categorical data items using the Latent GOLD 5.0 software. By way of comparison, we also provide guidance on fitting FIML models for nonresponse missing at random (MAR) using the methods of Fuchs (1982) and Fay (1986), who incorporated item nonresponse indicators within a structural modeling framework. We compare both FIML for MAR and FIML for MNAR nonresponse models for independent and dependent variables. Also, we provide recommendations for future applications of FIML using Latent GOLD.

Review question / Objective: This systematic review aims to comprehensively assess the efficacy and safety of full-endoscopic cervical laminectomy and decompression versus anterior cervical decompression with fusion in treating cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) patients. Condition being studied: Cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) is a degenerative disease associated with cervical cord compression, which has increased significant health-related social costs and derived disabilities. Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is the "gold standard" for the treatment of CSM. However, the application of ACDF may cause some complications. Recently, full-endoscopic cervical laminectomy and decompression have shown potential therapeutic effects for CSM. However, no systematic review or meta-analysis has focused on the effects of full-endoscopic cervical laminectomy and decompression in the treatment of CSM. This systematic review aims to comprehensively assess the efficacy and safety of full-endoscopic cervical laminectomy and decompression versus anterior cervical decompression with fusion in treating CSM patients.
