Abstract:
Background Glioma is a highly heterogeneous and poorly immunogenic malignant tumor, with limited efficacy of immunotherapy. The characteristics of the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) are one of the important factors hindering the effectiveness of immunotherapy. Therefore, this study aims to reveal the immune microenvironment (IME) characteristics of glioma and predict different immune subtypes using machine learning methods, providing guidance for immune therapy in glioma. Methods We first performed unsupervised cluster analysis on the genes and arrays of 693 gliomas in CGGA database and 702 gliomas in TCGA database. Then establish and verify the classification model through Machine Learning (ML). Then, use DAVID to perform functional enrichment analysis for different immune subtypes. Next step, analyze the immune cell distribution, stemness maintenance, mesenchymal phenotype, neuronal phenotype, tumorigenic cytokines, molecular and clinical characteristics of different immune subtypes of gliomas. Results Firstly, we divide the IME of gliomas in the CGGA database into four different subtypes, namely IM1, IM2, IM3, and IM4; similarly, the IME of gliomas in the TCGA database can also be divided into four different subtypes (IMA, IMB, IMC, and IMD). Next, based on ML, we developed a highly reliable model for predicting different immune subtypes of glioma. Then, we found that Monocytic lineage, Myeloid dendritic cells, NK cells and CD8 T cells had the highest enrichment in the IM1/IMD subtypes. Cytotoxic lymphocytes were highest expressed in the IM4/IMA subtypes. Next step, Enrichment analysis revealed that the IM1-IMD subtypes were mainly closely related to the production and secretion of IL-8 and TNF signaling pathway. The IM2-IMB subtypes were strongly associated with leukocyte activation and NK cell mediated cytotoxicity. The IM3-IMC subtypes were closely related to mitotic nuclear division and mitotic cell cycle process. The IM4-IMA subtypes were strongly associated with Central Nervous System (CNS) development and striated muscle tissue development. Afterwards, Single sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA) showed that stemness maintenance phenotypes were mainly enriched in the IM4/IMA subtypes; Neuronal phenotypes were closely associated with the IM2/IMB subtypes; and mesenchymal phenotypes and tumorigenic cytokines were highly correlated with the IM2 /IMB subtypes. Finally, we found that compared with patients in the IM2/IMB and IM4/IMA subtypes, the IM1/IMD and IM3/IMC subtypes have the highest proportion of GBM patients, the shortest average overall survival of patients and the lowest proportion of patients with IDH mutation and 1p36/19q13 co-deletion. Conclusions We developed a highly reliable model for predicting different immune subtypes of glioma by ML. Then, we comprehensively analyzed the immune infiltration, molecular and clinical features of different immune subtypes of gliomas and defined gliomas into four subtypes: immunogenic subtype, adaptive immune resistance subtype, mesenchymal subtype, and immune tolerance subtype, which represent different TMEs and different stages of tumor development.

Abstract:
Human inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) and canine inflammatory mammary cancer (IMC) are highly aggressive neoplastic diseases that share numerous characteristics. In IBC and IMC, chemotherapy produces a limited pathological response and anti-androgen therapies have been of interest for breast cancer treatment. Therefore, the aim was to evaluate the effect of a therapy based on bicalutamide, a non-steroidal anti-androgen, with doxorubicin and docetaxel chemotherapy on cell proliferation, migration, tumor growth, and steroid-hormone secretion. An IMC-TN cell line, IPC-366, and an IBC-TN cell line, SUM149, were used. In vitro assays revealed that SUM149 exhibited greater sensitivity, reducing cell viability and migration with all tested drugs. In contrast, IPC-366 exhibited only significant in vitro reductions with docetaxel as a single agent or in different combinations. Decreased estrogen levels reduced in vitro tumor growth in both IMC and IBC. Curiously, doxorubicin resulted in low efficacy, especially in IMC. In addition, all drugs reduced the tumor volume in IBC and IMC by increasing intratumoral testosterone (T) levels, which have been related with reduced tumor progression. In conclusion, the addition of bicalutamide to doxorubicin and docetaxel combinations may represent a potential treatment for IMC and IBC.

Abstract:
Abstract Detecting clinically relevant biomarkers in cancer tissues provides key insights into the unique tumor characteristics of patients, allowing for more personalized and effective therapies. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is the gold-standard technique for biomarker detection and is widely used by pathologists to score low-abundance biomarkers (LABs) in tissues. Limitations related to plexity, quantitation and false signal detection are frequently observed using IHC and day-to-day variability due to multiple steps of signal amplification and pigment mistaken for true signal can misinform pathologists about LAB expression. Imaging Mass Cytometry™ (IMC™) technology is a multiplexed imaging technique that incorporates quantitative assessment of 40-plus biomarkers simultaneously on the same slide. The Hyperion™ XTi Imaging System, in association with an automated slide loader, permits 24/7 data acquisition and provides biological insights critical for assessment of the tumor microenvironment. We strove to determine whether IMC can be used for pathological evaluation of LABs and provides additional key biological insights for clinical evaluation offered through multiplexed analysis. We performed a comparison of IHC and IMC technology to detect clinically relevant LABs (PD-1, PD-L1, CTLA-4 and LAG-3) on human tumor tissue microarray and whole tissue samples. For IMC technology, we detected single cells using the Human Immuno-Oncology IMC Panel, which offers cell phenotyping of tumor and immune cell subtypes and their functional states. We stained serial sections of tissues using the same antibody clone and generated IHC and IMC data, which was assessed by a board-certified pathologist. We conducted quantitative image analysis to detect LAB expression on single cells. Our results demonstrate that while IMC and IHC are similar in detecting LABs, IMC technology can accomplish this without signal amplification, offering an opportunity to evaluate LABs in their true dynamic signal ranges. Quantitative analysis of IHC and IMC data further demonstrated the equivalent performance of both platforms. Multiplexed single-cell analysis using IMC data provided insights about LAB expression on specific immune and tumor cells. While IHC is semi-quantitative and cannot reliably determine the high abundance of a target, IMC technology offers the opportunity of signal quantitation as it displays the complete dynamic range of signal. Clinical assessment of tissues using IMC technology offers an advantage over traditional IHC methods by providing true biological context due to multiplexing capabilities. The ability of IMC to provide high-dimensional spatially resolved data makes it a powerful tool for clinical and translational applications and shows that it is poised to significantly contribute to biomarker discovery and drug development.

Abstract:
This paper proposes a novel Internal Model Control (IMC) method for the control of superheater steam temperature. The IMC is known for good robustness including handling of systems with time delays. While Iterative Learning Control (ILC) is a strategy for dealing with periodic disturbances. By using a combination of IMC and ILC, their individual advantages are used to increase the robustness against modeling uncertainties and handling time as well as decreasing the influence of the periodic disturbances affecting the superheater steam. Some simulation examples are shown to illustrate performance improvements that can be achieved by the new method over the conventional IMC and PID methods. Key Words: Superheater Steam Temperature; Internal Model Control; Iterative Learning Control

Nos résultats appuient les modèles postulant que le subitizing repose sur la reconnaissance de configurations et suggèrent que les routines visuo-spatiales sont nécessaires à leur mémorisation<br>The factors likely to influence the emergence and the development of subitizing were analyzed, by testing a group of cerebral palsied (CP) children. The first study evaluates the CP children's subitizing limit, and its link with motor ability implied in the counting process. The second study compares subitizing, pattern recognition, and visuo-spatial abilities. Finally, a third study examines the effect of reversing the figure/background on subitizing limit. Most CP children have a lower subitizing limit than control children of the same age. However, subitizing limit improves with age in both groups, whatever the reversing of figure/background. CP children's subitizing limit appears to be delayed by visuo-spatial deficiency. It is likely that this deficiency does not allow a normal recognizing and memorizing of visual patterns. These results are congruent with the pattern recognition models of subitizing, and suggest that visuo-spatial routines are necessary to memorize these patterns

Abstract:
La parasitosis intestinal es de importancia para la salud pública por su alta prevalencia, su distribución prácticamente mundial y sus efectos. La prevalencia mundial es de 270 millones de niños en edad prescolar y más de 600 millones en edad escolar que viven en zonas con intensa transmisión de parasitos. En México, la frecuencia de la enfermedad se encuentra entre las primeras 20 patologías en preescolares y escolares. Estas afecciones por parásitos intestinales afectan el desarrollo físico y mental de los niños, aunado a las condiciones precarias de vivienda e higiene, se estima que el 18.9% de la población escolar se encuentra infectada por parásitos, muchos no son diagnosticados, reportados, ni estudiados, variando la estadística de forma considerable en diferentes zonas del país. Por otro lado, las estadísticas nacionales de nutrición muestran, en el 2017 entre la edad de 5 a 9 años, una tasa por cada 100,000 habitantes de: 115.27 para desnutrición leve, 15.18 para moderada y 4.67 grave, 198.94 en obesidad, (no distingue grados). Por la edad, la secretaria de salud utiliza Índice masa corporal como principal método de evaluación y diagnóstico, motivo por el cual se utilizará en este trabajo. Esto no proporciona una evaluación completa, pero si rápida para iniciar con un diagnóstico y tratamiento oportuno. (6; 28) Los estudios publicados que mencionan la relación entre parasitosis y desnutrición suelen ser significativa a nivel micronutriente, pero antropométricamente no se ha fijado una postura ya que la variabilidad de los factores de la población estudiada es mucha, aun así, los realizados en zona rural, en su mayoría, encuentran una relación. (7) A su vez, los niños escolares pasan la mayor parte de su tiempo en labores escolares y, en México, las estadísticas mundiales de rendimiento académico son muy bajas, los factores que contribuyen a esto son múltiples, pero nos enfocaremos al estado de nutrición y el padecimiento de parásitos intestinales para comprobar si, por su prevalencia alta, puedan ser significativos. Solo existe un estudio donde no se encontró relación, en México, los estudios no relacionan las 3 variables, pero si existe la relación de desnutrición y bajo rendimiento escolar. (29; 30) Este estudio se efectuó para dar a conocer como la incidencia de parasitosis en niños escolares está relacionada con la desnutrición que, a su vez, puede disminuir el rendimiento académico, afectando al niño respecto a su edad. Esto pretende ser útil al sistema de salud, fortalecer la prevención, mejorar las medidas higienico-dieteticas y mejorar la capacidad de aprendizaje en escolares, lo que aumentaría el nivel académico.

Abstract:
Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior<br>The index of corporal mass (ICM) is broadlly used to measure the corporal mass of adults. A high fat index is related to heart and circulation problems, infertility, diabetes, arthritis, difficulty to move around or breathe and problems with cicatrization. Even though there are several studies about these problems, there is no specific method to evaluate weight excess in dogs objectively and precisely. The purpose of this research was to determine an index of corporal mass for dogs based on the existing IMC for human beings. Two hundred and forty six animals of no specific breed and different body conditions were analysed. They were not only measured and weighed, but also evaluated by two distinct veterinarians based on real subjective patterns, which can determine the corporal score. These procedures enabled the acknowledgement of the attained index. The conclusion was that IMCC between 11,8 and 15 kg/m² represent the ideal pattern for dogs of average size that weigh between 10 and 25 kilos.<br>O índice de massa corporal (IMC) é largamente utilizado por médicos para quantificar a massa corporal de pessoas adultas. Índice elevado de gordura está relacionado com problemas cardiovasculares, infertilidade, diabetes, artrite, dificuldade em se locomover ou respirar e prejuízos na cicatrização de feridas. Apesar de todo o estudo que se tem a respeito desses problemas, não há um método preciso e objetivo para se quantificar o excesso de peso em cães. A proposta deste trabalho foi determinar um índice de massa corporal canino (IMCC), a partir do IMC existente para humanos. Foram medidos e pesados 246 animais, sem raça definida e com diferentes condições corporais. Para dar validade ao índice de massa corporal obtido, os animais também foram avaliados por dois veterinários segundo os padrões subjetivos, já existentes. Verificou-se que valores do IMCC entre 11,8 e 15 kg/m² refletem o peso ideal para cães de porte médio, cujo tipo físico possui média de peso entre 10 e 25 kg.

Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo transversal realizado em amostra populacional de negros dos distritos sanitários (DS) Barra- Rio vermelho e Liberdade, na cidade de Salvador-Ba, sendo a população final do estudo constituída por 383 indivíduos com idade ≥ 60 anos. As variáveis do estudo foram: medidas antropométricas ― peso, altura e altura do joelho, índice de massa corpórea, cor autorreferida, escolaridade, nível socioeconômico. Utilizou-se o teste t-student pareado para analisar as diferenças de médias das medidas antropométricas e o teste de qui-quadrado para analisar as diferenças de proporções dos estratos do diagnóstico nutricional à partir do IMC convencional e do IMC estimado. Para a classificação da concordância de IMC´s foram calculados os valores de Kappa. Resultados: Dos idosos estudados 60,8% estavam na faixa etária 60-69 anos, predominando o sexo feminino (69,2%). A análise de concordância do IMCE apresenta para magreza em homens e mulheres 72,0% e 83,4%, respectivamente. Os valores observados de Kappa elevados para magreza e sobrepeso em ambos os sexos indicam que o IMC cuja altura foi estimada pelo Knee-height tem boa concordância com aquele obtido a partir de medidas convencionais de peso e altura. Tanto para a altura convencional, quanto para a altura estimada houve uma redução da altura média com o aumento da idade. Conclusão: Diante dos resultados encontrados, sugere-se, então, que na prática nutricional da assistência ao idoso, seja considerada a medida do joelho na estimativa da altura para efeito de cálculo do IMC e considerando que esta técnica é de baixo custo e de fácil aplicação pode ser utilizada em ambiente ambulatorial, domiciliar ou hospitalar.<br>Objective: To compare the anthropometric status of elderly blacks from BMI obtained by the estimated height and conventional height.

We used the paired Student t test to analyze differences in mean values of anthropometric measures and chi-square test to analyze differences in proportions of the strata of nutritional diagnosis from the conventional BMI and BMI estimated. For classification concordance of BMI's were calculated Kappa values. Results: Of the elderly studied 60.8% were aged 60-69 years, predominantly female (69.2%). Concordance analysis of IMCE presents for men and women were 72.0% and 83.4%, respectively. It was observed that the high Kappa values for thinness and overweight in both sexes indicate that BMI whose height was estimated by Knee-height is in good agreement with that obtained from conventional measurements of height and weight. Both for the conventional height, the estimated height to the height was reduced with increasing average age. Conclusion: Considering the results, it is suggested, then, that in practice the nutritional care of the elderly, is considered as the estimation of knee height to calculate BMI and considering that this technique is inexpensive and easy application can be used in an outpatient setting, home or hospital.

Abstract:
Marknadsföring på sociala medier är ett område det forskas mycket om. Den medieintensivitet som präglar samhället idag gör ämnet högst aktuellt att undersöka och det finns flertalet intressanta perspektiv att utgå ifrån. För denna uppsats har det operativa arbetet för marknadskommunikation på sociala medier undersökts. Uppsatsen syftar till att ge en djupare förståelse för kommunikationsteorin IIMC (interaktiv integrerad marknadskommunikation) och identifiera samband mellan IIMC och arbetsprocessen för mediebyråer som erbjuder sociala medier som marknadsföringstjänst. För att nå detta syftar uppsatsen vidare till att formulera en modell för marknadskommunikation på sociala medier. Empiriskt material har samlats in genom fem kvalitativa semistrukturerade intervjuer och kompletterats med innehållsanalyser genomförda på Facebooksidor och Instagramkonton tillhörande kundföretag till tre av de mediebyråer som deltagit i undersökningen. Som stöd till det empiriska materialet inhämtades kommunikationsteorier vilka verkade som teoretiskt ramverk för uppsatsen. Genom analys och diskussion uppenbarades att marknadsföring på sociala kanaler har genomgått stora förändringar senaste åren och utvecklas i hög takt. Med detta medföljer stora möjligheter men även svårigheter för marknadsförare som har svårt att hinna med i utvecklingen. Avslutningsvis formuleras en modell som visar på ett potentiellt arbetssätt för att kommunicera framgångsrikt på de sociala kanalerna framtagen på grunder från insamlad teori och empiri.<br>Marketing on social media is an area that has been researched a lot. The media intense society that characterizes the world today makes this subject relevant to research, and there are several interesting perspectives to investigate. For this paper, the operational work of marketing on social media is investigated. The purpose of this paper is to provide a deeper understanding of the communication theory IIMC (Interactive Integrated Marketing Communications) and identify the connection between IIMC and the work process for media agencies that offer social media as a marketing service. To achieve the purpose, the paper aims to formulate a model for marketing on social media. The empirical material was gathered through five qualitative semistructured interviews and were complemented with content analyzes conducted on Facebook Pages and Instagram accounts belonging to customers to three of the media agencies that were interviewed. As a support to the empirical material collected, communication theories were collected and are shown as a theoretical framework for the thesis. Through analysis and discussion it was revealed that marketing on social channels have undergone major changes in recent years and have developed rapidly. With this come great opportunities but also difficulties for marketers who are struggling to keep up with the developments. Finally a model is formed that shows a potential process to follow in order to communicate successfully in the social channels. Keywords Social

Abstract:
Thesis advisor: Marc-Jan Gubbels<br>The apicomplexan parasite Toxoplasma gondii divides rapidly and asexually through a unique process of internal daughter budding. The physical infrastructure for this process is the cytoskeleton, which is composed of subpellicular microtubules, flattened vesicles (alveoli), and a meshwork of intermediate filament-like proteins. This meshwork is composed of a family of 14 inner membrane complex (IMC) proteins that were identified based on the presence of a repeat sequence shared across the Alveolata, the alveolin-repeat. All 14 proteins were cloned as YFP fusions to study their subcellular localization and antibodies were generated against several representative IMC proteins. Each IMC displays unique spatio-temporal dynamics throughout development, but four physically distinct localizations were identified: eight IMCs localize to the alveoli, four IMCs localize to a structure known as the basal complex, IMC11 localizes to the apical cap in mature parasites, and IMC15 localizes primarily to the centrosomes and early buds. IMC15 is of particular interest because its appearance before membrane occupation and recognition nexus 1 (MORN1) in the early bud suggests that it is the first cytoskeletal component to associate with the buds. A conditional knockdown of this protein using the destabilization domain (DD) reveals IMC15 has a strong affinity for the centrosomes that overcomes targeting of the DD fusion protein to the proteasome and the presence of IMC15 in the early bud may not be necessary for the division process. Conditional knockdowns using a tetracycline repressible promoter reveal that a minimal amount of IMC15 is sufficient for parasite survival. In order to further characterize IMC15, dominant negative constructs based on mutating putative palmitoylation sites or overexpression of deletion constructs are being pursued. Collectively, the IMC family is being incorporated into the temporal and spatial dynamics of cytoskeletal development through the creation of a comprehensive timeline of daughter bud assembly. These findings are contributing unprecedented detail to the cell division process<br>Thesis (PhD) — Boston College, 2011<br>Submitted to: Boston College.

Abstract:
Interfacial intermetallic compounds (IMCs) in solder joints are formed during soldering and continue to grow after assembly. Excessive interfacial IMC growth may impact the reliability of solder interconnections due to changes in material behavior. The impact of thermal aging on IMC growth can be determined by subjecting assemblies to elevated temperatures and determining the interfacial IMC growth. This paper discusses the interfacial IMCs formed in the solder-Cu interface for SAC305, SAC105, and Sn-0.7Cu-0.05Ni+Ge (SN100C) assemblies. Test assemblies were produced using tin-finished 2512 resistors soldered onto OSP-finished copper lands. The assemblies were subjected to aging conditions of 100°C for 24 h and 600 h; and 150°C for 24 h and the impact of high temperature aging on the thickness of IMCs formed at solder-Cu interface was studied. Samples stored at room temperature for 600 h were the reference specimen for the experiment. The IMC growth observed in the lead-free solders was compared with that in eutectic SnPb. Interfacial IMCs formed in room temperature conditioned specimens were scallop shaped and non-uniform. The IMC structure evolved with aging temperature and duration resulting in smoother and more uniform IMCs in 100°C/600 h aged samples. A comparison of IMC thickness in the solders at given aging conditions revealed that SAC305 exhibited highest IMC thickness, followed by SAC105 and SN100C. SnPb showed the least IMC thickness at all aging conditions except at 150°C for 24 h. At this condition, SnPb showed IMC thickness comparable to SAC305 solder and was higher than other solders.

The combined sequential reliability test of thermal cycling aging followed by board level drop test for lead-free SnAgCu soldered assemblies were investigated. Interfacial IMCs, Kirkendall voids formation and interconnect failure mode are studied subject to TC aging. Kirkendall voids were observed with Ar+ sputtering etching. The failure sites and mechanism were examined and correlated with IMC and void formation. Significant decrease of drop life was observed for both SAC/ENIG and SAC/Cu-OSP assemblies after thermal cycling aging. Growth of Kirkendall voids and IMC significantly weakened the solder joint interface during TC aging. Drop impact crack path changed from the IMC to the IMC/Cu interface.

Abstract:
Exposure of lead free solder joints to high temperature isothermal aging conditions leads to microstructure evolution, which mainly includes coarsening of the intermetallic (IMC) phases. In our previous work, it was found that the coarsening of IMCs led to degradation of the overall mechanical properties of the SAC solder composite consisting of β-Sn matrix and IMC particles. However, it is not known whether the isothermal aging changes properties of the individual β-Sn and IMC phases, which could also be affecting to the overall degradation of properties. In this study, the aging induced variations of the mechanical properties of the β-Sn phase, and of Sn-Cu IMC particles in SAC solder joints have been explored using nanoindentation. SAC solder joints extracted from SuperBGA (SBGA) packages were aged for different time intervals (0, 1, 5, 10 days) at T = 125 °C. Nanoindentation test samples were prepared by cross sectioning the solder joints, and then molding them in epoxy and polishing them to prepare the joint surfaces for nanoindentation. Multiple β-Sn grains were identified in joints using optical polarized microscopy and IMCs were also observed. Individual β-Sn grains and IMC particles were then indented at room temperature to measure their mechanical properties (elastic modulus and hardness) and time dependent creep deformations. Properties measured at different aging time were then compared to explore aging induced degradations of the individual phases. The properties of the individual phases did not show significant degradation. Thus, IMC coarsening is the primary reason for the degradation of bulk solder joint properties, and changes of the properties of the individual phases making up the lead free solder material are negligible.

Abstract:
Solder micro-bumps, which serve as interconnects between stacked dies in 3D electronic packages, are typically very thin (25μm or less) and contain a high proportion of intermetallic compounds (IMCs). This makes micro-bumps brittle, and prone to fracture, particularly under drop conditions. In this paper, the fracture mechanics and mechanisms of SAC305 solder micro-bumps attached to Cu metallizations are studied as functions of the proportion of IMC in the joint. The effects of IMC content, IMC composition (i.e., the relative amounts of Cu3Sn and Cu6Sn5), strain rate, and mode mixity on both fracture toughness and fracture mechanism were investigated. The fracture mechanisms were studied via quantitative fractography. It was found that fracture toughness decreases dramatically (∼80%) with increase in IMC content (from ∼22% to 100%IMC). In all samples, the majority of the fracture surface comprised IMC/Sn interface failure, which constitutes the predominant fracture mechanism. With increasing aging, the proportion of ductile fracture of Sn decreases, fracture through Cu6Sn5 cleavage increases, and more Cu3Sn/Cu6Sn5 interface failure is observed. In general, bulk fracture properties of Cu3Sn plays little role in the fracture process. Thin joints also frequently display an alternating crack path between the two solder-substrate interfaces with the crack transitioning from one interface to the other, through the intervening Sn. Such crack transition between two surfaces increases with increase in IMC content, as long as there is intervening Sn, and may be utilized to improve the fracture toughness of thin joints. Finally, joint fracture toughness decreased with increase in both strain rate and mode mixity.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract Cu wires were bonded to AlSi (1%) pads, subsequently encapsulated and subjected to uHAST (un-biased Highly Accelerated Stress Test, 130 °C and 85% relative humidity). After the test, a pair of bonding interfaces associated with a failing contact resistance and a passing contact resistance were analyzed and compared, with transmission electron microscopy (TEM), electron diffraction, and energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The data suggested the corrosion rates were higher for the more Cu-rich Cu-Al intermetallics (IMC) in the failing sample. The corrosion was investigated with factors including electromotive force (EMF), self-passivation of Al, thickness and homogeneity of the Al-oxide on the IMC, ratio of the Cu-to-Al surface areas exposed to the electrolyte for an IMC taken into account. The preferential corrosion observed for the Cu-rich IMC is attributed to the high ratios of the surface areas of the cathode and anode that were exposed to the electrolyte, and the passivation oxide of Al with the lower homogeneity. The corrosion of the Cu-Al IMC is just a manifestation of the well-known phenomenon of dealloying. With the understanding of the corrosion mechanisms, prohibiting the formation of Cu-rich IMCs is expected be an approach to improve the corrosion resistance of the wire bonding.

Abstract:
Abstract Cu-Sn composites coatings by cold spray with wide ranges of particle size and shape (round to flake) were investigated regarding their intermetallic compound (IMC) formation. It was found when certain size and shape combination of Cu-Sn composite raw materials were employed, the embedded Cu-Sn IMCs such as Cu6Sn5 and Cu3Sn were observed even in as-sprayed states without additional heat treatments. These results implied that the impact energy of colliding particles of the cold spraying could be enough to activate IMC compounding process. It seems that this can be also true in several composite systems that have relatively low activation energy of IMC compounding. After post annealing, the Cu6Sn5 formed in as-coated state were transformed into the Cu3Sn phase and the residue of unreacted Sn particles were fully changed into the Cu3Sn phase (Cu6Sn5 →Cu3Sn). These conversion processes also depended strongly on the choices of the shape and size combinations of Cu and Sn particles.

Abstract:
The explosive formulations IMX-101 and IMX-104 are replacing conventional explosives in munitions, making them safer to transport and handle. However, munitions manufacturing and military training can lead to the environmental release of constituent insensitive munitions compounds. These IMCs absorb ultraviolet light and transform photochemically into products with potentially greater toxicity. This study explores the effects of physical form, moisture, humic acids, and compound mixtures on the photolysis of solid and dissolved IMCs under UV-A and UV-B light. Irradiation of dry vs. moist solid IMC crystals yielded few measured products, and while photolysis rates were not significantly different, they were orders of magnitude slower than for aqueous IMCs. There was no significant difference in photolysis rates for aqueous IMCs irradiated with 0, 0.4, and 4 mg L-1 humic acids, but 40 and 400 mg L-1 humic acids inhibited NTO and enhanced NQ photolysis. Although organic and inorganic products were detected in the mixtures, an average of 15–35 % of the theoretical starting IMC masses was not accounted for. Overall, aqueous IMCs transformed 4–48 times faster than the solid IMCs, but the environmentally-relevant conditions tested were found to play a minor role in IMC photolysis.

Abstract:
Inter-municipal Cooperation (IMC), a collaborative approach among municipalities, is increasingly promoted as a solution to challenges local governments cannot address independently. IMC is viewed as a strategy to enhance resource efficiency, strengthen competencies, and maintain or improve municipal services. In a recent government bill, inter-municipal cooperation and coordination is highlighted as an essential approach for Swedish municipalities to practice when planning and developing their housing provision. Research on IMC and housing provision is, however, limited. IMC studies are usually centred around technical municipal services, such as waste management, with a cost savings aspect in focus. Thus, in the context of housing, IMC appears to involve additional aspects beyond those typically researched in the IMC field. Focusing on the regions Skåne and Västra Götaland, this report examines IMC in housing provision at the national, regional, and sub-regional levels. Findings reveal a lack of coherent goals for "coordination" (samordning) with stakeholders, such as the County Administrative Board in Skåne, expressing uncertainty about its intended purpose. Among the established IMC organs highlighted in this report, the work on housing provision tends to involve the production of shared housing market analyses and developing visions for the subregion’s future development. Nevertheless, there are examples of more concrete cooperation outcomes, such as the work done at the IMC organ Storsthlm. Ultimately, the report concludes that IMC in housing provision remains largely unexplored and further studies are required to unfold the objectives and outcomes of this approach. This report is produced within the framework of JÄMBO, a research project focused on innovative solutions on various levels concerning housing questions and housing provision

Abstract:
This paper presents the Euro Area Communication Event-Study Database (EA-CED), a new dataset that tracks financial market movements around ECB Governing Council meetings (GC) and inter-meeting communication (IMC). Covering the period from 1999 to 2024, the EA-CED contains intraday changes in euro area financial variables around the time of 304 ECB GC policy announcements and 4,400 IMC events, consisting mainly of speeches and interviews. We document several new empirical findings on the impact of IMC on financial markets. First, we show that many IMC events are associated with significant market movements, often of similar or larger magnitude than those associated with ECB policy announcements, particularly for yields at longer maturities. Significant effects are not limited to communication from the ECB’s President but extend to other members of the Governing Council. Second, the importance of IMC varies over time, peaking around tightening cycles, particularly in 2022-2023. Third, like ECB GC announcements, IMC events convey multi-dimensional information and lead to surprises regarding the path of monetary policy and the state of the economy.
