Role Of Surface Morphology In Wafer Bonding, W.P. Maszara, B.L. Jiang, A. Yamada, G.A. Rozgonyi, H. Baumgart, A.J.R. De Kock
Role Of Surface Morphology In Wafer Bonding, W.P. Maszara, B.L. Jiang, A. Yamada, G.A. Rozgonyi, H. Baumgart, A.J.R. De Kock
Electrical & Computer Engineering Faculty Publications
The strain patterns detected by x-ray topography in wafers bonded for silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology were found related to the flatness nonuniformity of the original wafers. Local stresses due to the bonding process are estimated to be about 1×108 dynes/cm2. The stress is reduced about 100 times for the thin (0.5 μm) SOI films. Most of the wafer deformation occurs during room temperature mating of the wafers. The deformation is purely elastic even at 1200 °C. The magnitude of the stress appears insignificant for complimentary metal-oxide-semiconductor devices performance.

Sunbelt Texas, Char Miller
Sunbelt Texas, Char Miller
Pomona Faculty Publications and Research
What then is the Sunbelt, and Texas' place within it? The region first had to be recognized as a region, of course, and that has taken some doing. The term was initially employed in the late 1960s and soon came to loom large in the popular imagination. Still, its boundaries were and are inexact. Where is the Sunbelt? Some commentators have adopted an all-inclusive definition which links together those states south of the thirty-seventh parallel; an even more expansive version includes Virginia and the Pacific Northwest. Others rely on more precise, but no less problematic descriptions which, depending on the …
Water Management By Local Governments, Nick Houtman
Water Management By Local Governments, Nick Houtman
Maine Policy Review
For most of the era since 1960, when environmental policy and resource policy have been central public issues, the focus of public debates on those policies was at the federal and state levels. Now, more and more of the decisions and policies that will determine the quality of life for citizens are being made at the local level. Issues that have historically been local prerogatives are increasingly identified as crucial for effective environmental policy and for insuring "quality of life." Those local decisions are often constrained by a wide variety of state and federal policies on environmental policy and resource …

U(1) String Tension, Arthur F. Griesser
Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects
The long distance force between quarks in the U(1) approximation to quantum chromodynamics is calculated on a home made reduced instruction set computer optimized for that purpose. It is found that previous calculations were in error by as much as 85% due to contamination by the Coulomb interaction. The Coulomb constant, measured for the first time in this work, agrees with analytically obtained values.

When Is Every Order Ideal A Ring Ideal?, Suzanne Larson
When Is Every Order Ideal A Ring Ideal?, Suzanne Larson
Mathematics, Statistics and Data Science Faculty Works
A lattice-ordered ring R is called an OIRI-ring if each of its order ideals is a ring ideal. Generalizing earlier work of Basly and Triki, OIRI-rings are characterized as those f-rings R such that R/I is contained in an f-ring with an identity element that is a strong order unit for some nil l-ideal I of R. In particular, if P(R) denotes the set of nilpotent elements of the f-ring R, then R is an OIRI-ring if and only if R/P(R) is contained in an f-ring with an identity element that is a strong order unit.
Development And Evaluation Of Tracer Particles For Use In Microzooplankton Herbivory Studies, Mary Putt
Development And Evaluation Of Tracer Particles For Use In Microzooplankton Herbivory Studies, Mary Putt
OES Faculty Publications
Two methods of preparing algae for use as tracer particles in single species measurements of microzooplankton herbivory were evaluated. Algae were either heat-killed and labelled with 5-(4,6-dichlorotriazin-2-yl amino fluorescein) (DTAF) (Rublee & Gallegos 1989; Mar, Ecol. Prog. Ser. 51: 221-227) or stained with hydroethidine (HYD). Both DTAF and HYD-stained algae were readily visible within the digestive vacuoles of most microzooplankton collected in estuarine and coastal waters of Massachusetts (USA) and preserved with Lugol's iodine. However, DTAF was ineffective at staining several chromophytic algae and the heat-kill process reduced cell volume by ≥ 50% in several of the algae which were …

Trace Elements In Estuarine And Coastal Waters: U.S. Studies From 1986-1990, Gregory A. Cutter
OES Faculty Publications
The use of specialized analytical techniques, field studies, controlled laboratory experiments, and geochemical modeling have allowed U.S. investigators to expand our understanding of trace element cycling in coastal waters and estuaries. Considerable emphasis has been placed on quantifying the flux of trace elements within and through the coastal zone. In addition, substantial progress has been made in identifying the chemical speciation of many trace elements, providing a linkage between the geochemical and biochemical behavior of these elements. Another significant advance has been the use of trace elements as tracers of geochemical processes and water masses in the coastal environment.
Seasonal Phytoplankton Assemblages Associated With The Chesapeake Bay Plume, Harold G. Marshall
Seasonal Phytoplankton Assemblages Associated With The Chesapeake Bay Plume, Harold G. Marshall
Biological Sciences Faculty Publications
Waters associated with the Chesapeake Bay plume were highly variable, unstable, and subject to the influence of flow patterns into and out of the Bay. Seasonal phytoplankton assemblages were identified for this region, with the phytoplankton development similar to the seasonal spring-fall growth maxima over the shelf, yet influenced by the multi-pulsed patterns often noted in the lower Bay. Major dominants included species common to both the shelf and lower Chesapeake Bay.

Assessment Of Organic And Metal Contaminants In Lower Back Bay And Upper Currituck Sound, Kate Benkert
Assessment Of Organic And Metal Contaminants In Lower Back Bay And Upper Currituck Sound, Kate Benkert
V. Poster Abstracts
Studies were conducted at Mackay Island National Wildlife Refuge in 1988 and 1989 to provide baseline data for an assessment of organic chemicals and metal contaminants in the aquatic ecosystem. Longnose gar, gizzard shad, snapping turtles, common rangia clams and sediments were collected from sites in lower Back Bay and upper Currituck Sound for contaminant analyses.
Composite sediment samples were analyzed for the presence of metals, organochlorine pesticides and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Organochlorine pesticides were not detected in the sediments. Various PAH compounds were detected in the sediments, although at trace concentrations which just exceeded the analytical detection limit …

Refuge Land Acquisition: Helping Preserve Back Bay's Wildlife Heritage, Julia Herrick, Ben Mathias, Janet Taylor
V. Poster Abstracts
The once-renowned waterfowl populations and bass fishery of Back Bay, Virginia have declined dramatically in recent years. Lands surrounding Back Bay are increasingly threatened by on-going and potential land development. These lands serve as an important filter for pollutant and sediment-laden runoff from adjacent areas. The boundary of the Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge was expanded in 1989 to include an additional 6,340 acres of brackish marsh, forested swamp, and "critical edge" upland habitat, important to a variety of wildlife species and for its natural filtering effect. Within the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's policy of working with willing sellers, …

A Study Of Periphyton, Sediment And Diatom Community Structure As Monitors Of Heavy Metal Pollution In The Embarras River And Brushy Fork, David L. Vaultonburg
A Study Of Periphyton, Sediment And Diatom Community Structure As Monitors Of Heavy Metal Pollution In The Embarras River And Brushy Fork, David L. Vaultonburg
Masters Theses
The purpose of this study was to evaluate periphyton (diatom) and sediment heavy metal content and diatom community structure as potential monitors of heavy metal pollution in the upper reaches of the Embarras River system. The study was initiated due to recent industrialization in the area which could potentially contribute to the present heavy metal burden of Brushy Fork and the Embarras River. These streams are already subject to agricultural runoff, wastewater plant effluent, landfill leachate and other miscellaneous urban and highway runoff. The Embarras River system drains an area of approximately 2800 square miles in 11 east-central Illinois counties …
Development Of Ruthenium Vinylbipyridine Modified Electrode Surfaces For Use In Chemiluminescence-Based Detection Systems, Matthew F. Piescinski
Development Of Ruthenium Vinylbipyridine Modified Electrode Surfaces For Use In Chemiluminescence-Based Detection Systems, Matthew F. Piescinski
Masters Theses
Based upon the chemiluminescent properties of [Ru(bpy)3]2+ and the proven analytical applications of that complex in the detection of easily reduced anions in solution, a chromatographic detection system was designed utilizing an immobilized form of the Ru(ll) complex. The objective was to create, by electropolymerization, a regenerative chemiluminescent surface on a working electrode. Reductive electropolymerization was accomplished by the use of a [Ru(bpy)3]2+ analog containing the ligand vinylbipyridine. Two analogs, [Ru(vbpy)3][PF6]2 and [Ru(phen)2(vbpy)][PF6]2 were polymerized on platinum, glassy carbon and indium-doped tin oxide working …

G91-1025 Two Crops In One Year: Doublecropping, Russell Moomaw, Gary Lesoing, Charles A. Francis
G91-1025 Two Crops In One Year: Doublecropping, Russell Moomaw, Gary Lesoing, Charles A. Francis
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Choice of crops, weed control, and other cultural practices for successful doublecropping are discussed here. Multiple cropping refers to growing two crops on the same field during the same year. One method of multiple cropping is doublecropping, which is when one crop is grown after the first crop is harvested. Prime USA regions for doublecropping are the eastern cornbelt, and southeastern and south central states where relatively long growing seasons and abundant rainfall occur. By contrast, shorter growing seasons and less frequent rainfall limit the potential for doublecropping in Nebraska. Irrigation is essential for successful doublecropping in Nebraska. Without irrigation, …

A Mergeable Double-Ended Priority Queue, S. Olariu, Z. Wen
Computer Science Faculty Publications
An implementation of a double-ended priority queue is discussed. This data structure referred to as min–max–pair heap can be built in linear time; the operations Delete-min, Delete-max and Insert take O(log n) time, while Find-min and Find-max run in O(1) time. In contrast to the min-max heaps, it is shown that two min–max–pair heaps can be merged in sublinear time. More precisely, two min–max–pair heaps of sizes n and k can be merged in time O(log (n/k) * log k).

Resource management technical reports
The Mallee Road Sump catchment is a 30,000 ha catchment located immediately south of a major drainage divide in the central southern agricultural region of Western Australia. The catchment has been largely developed for agriculture over the last 25 years and is now showing development of secondary land salinization. Agronomic trials have shown that it is possible to considerably increase plant production in the area and simultaneously reduce recharge to the groundwaters.
Issues For Managing Tourism Information, Robert M. O'Halloran, Donald F. Holecek
Issues For Managing Tourism Information, Robert M. O'Halloran, Donald F. Holecek
Hospitality Review
The need for a high quality tourism database is well known. For example, planners and managers need high quality data for budgeting, forecasting, planning marketing and advertising strategies, and staffing. Thus the concepts of quality and need are intertwined to pose a problem to the tourism professional, be they private sector or public sector employees. One could argue that collaboration by public and private sector tourism professionals could provide the best sources and uses of high quality tourism data. This discussion proposes just such a collaboration and a detailed methodology for operationalizing this arrangement.
