Rheological characterisation of solder pastes and isotropic conductive adhesives (ICAs) for microsystems assembly technology
The printing of solder pastes through very small stencil apertures required for flip-chip pitch sizes, is expected to result in increased stencil clogging and incomplete transfer of paste to the printed circuit board pads. The paste printing process depends on conditions such as good paste roll, …

Novel conductive adhesives for electronic packaging applications: a way towards economical, highly conductive, low temperature and flexible interconnects
Isotropically conductive adhesives (ICAs) are promising as a lead-free interconnect material; However, ICAs have a higher resistivity compared to tin/lead solder. The higher resistivity of ICAs results from the large contact resistance between conductive fillers. Several novel approaches to …

Density-Dependent Foraging in Caenorhabditis Elegans
… vary in response to the potent ascaroside icas#9. I use QTL mapping to find a major locus responsible for this variation, and map it to an icas#9 receptor, srx-43. Reduced expression of this gene in the sensory neuron ASI contributes to naturally occurring insensitivity to icas#9. …

Does Winning Matter? An Examination of the Impact of Success on Former Student-Athlete Philanthropic Giving
<p>Intercollegiate athletic departments (ICAs) rely on philanthropic giving to remain relevant in the “arms race” that is college athletics. Donations provide the necessary resources (scholarships, upgraded facilities, etc.) to compete with rival programs for prospective student-athletes and fans. …

Development of a Threat Assessment Algorithm for Intersection Collision Avoidance Systems
… year. Intersection Collision Avoidance Systems (ICAS) represent a new breed of countermeasures that focus on the types of crashes that have not been reduced with the application of traditional methods. Incursion systems, a subset of ICAS, are designed to specifically undertake crashes that are a …

Argumentation Stance Polarity and Intensity Prediction and its Application for Argumentation Polarization Modeling and Diverse Social Connection Recommendation
… the Intelligent Cyber Argumentation System (ICAS). ICAS structures its discussions into a weighted cyber argumentation graph, which describes the relationships between the different users, their posts in a discussion, the discussion topic, and the various subtopics in a discussion. This …

The validity of biodata as a selection tool within the Scottish accountancy profession.
… who trained within the whole spectrum of ICAS training offices, were collected from a self-completion questionnaire. The data collected was used to develop statistical models predicting two relevant pre-selection criteria for the accounting profession, namely the ability to pass the …

Targeting Metabolic Alterations Associated With Smooth Muscle Α-Actin Pathogenic Variant Attenuates Moyamoya-Like Cerebrovascular Disease
… lesions in the distal internal carotid arteries (ICAs) and their branches. To study the molecular mechanisms that underlie the <em>ACTA2</em> p.Arg179 variants, a smooth muscle-specific Cre-lox knock-in mouse model of the heterozygous <em>Acta2 </em>R179C variant, termed the …
