Analysis and modeling of underfill flow driven by capillary action in flip-chip packaging
Wan, Jianwu (2005-01-24)Flip-chip underfilling is a technology by which silica-filled epoxy resin is used to fill the micro-cavity between a silicon chip and a substrate, by dispensing the liquid encapsulant at elevated temperatures along the ... -
Characterization of flax fibres and the effect of different drying methods for making biocomposites
Tripathy, Ananda Chandra (2009)As the environmental concern grows, researchers try to find material which can be environmental friendly and biodegradable to some extent. At present, flax fibre cannot fully replace glass fibre. Some attempts have been ... -
CHICKPEA AQUAFABA AS AN EMULSIFIER IN FOOD-OIL SYSTEMS
He, Yue 1993-; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3740-6381 (2019-07-09)Aquafaba (AQ) is a viscous liquid produced during boiling or pressure-cooking chickpea seed in water. This by-product solution has been gaining popularity since 2014, when a blogger used AQ as an egg replacement in a vegan ... -
Densification of selected agricultural crop residues as feedstock for the biofuel industry
Adapa, Phani Kumar (2011)The two main sources of biomass for energy generation are purpose-grown energy crops and waste materials. Energy crops, such as Miscanthus and short rotation woody crops (coppice), are cultivated mainly for energy purposes ... -
Design and performance testing of a novel ceiling panel for simultaneous heat and moisture transfer to moderate indoor temperature and relative humidity
Fauchoux, Melanie (2012-11-19)An important aspect in the design of buildings is the comfort of the occupants inside the building. Although many factors can affect comfort, the factor of particular interest in this research is the indoor humidity level. ... -
Development of a mechanical means for antipersonnel landmine neutralization
Burton, Thomas I (2006-05-19)Antipersonnel (AP) landmines are cheap and simple weapons used in warfare and other armed conflicts. The most effective and accepted form of landmine clearance is by manual demining, but this method is slow, laborious, ... -
Development of flax fiber-reinforced polyethylene biocomposites by injection molding
Li, Xue (2008)Flax fiber-reinforced plastic composites have attracted increasing interest because of the advantages of flax fibers, such as low density, relatively high toughness, high strength and stiffness, and biodegradability. Thus, ... -
Distributed soil displacement and pressure associated with surface loading
Abou-Zeid, Ahmed S. F (2004-01-23)Soil compaction is an inevitable result of agricultural practices. It alters physical properties of soil and tends to be undesirable as it adversely affects water and nutrient penetration. Furthermore, additional energy ... -
The effect of plasma treatment on flax fibres
Oraji, Rahim (2008)In recent years, interest in using composites with natural fibres as reinforcement and/or filler has increased because of the advantages of natural fibres, such as low density, low cost, high mechanical properties, and ... -
Effect of pretreatment on the breakdown of lignocellulosic matrix in barley straw as feedstock for biofuel production
IROBA, KINGSLEY (2014-08-11)Lignocellulosic biomass is composed of cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin and extraneous compounds (waxes, fats, gums, starches, alkaloids, resins, tannins, essential oils, silica, carbonates, oxalates, etc). The sugars ... -
Effect of seasonal water fluctuation upon solute movement within a porous media
Kreba, Sleem Ali (2009)Tracer methods are commonly used for estimation of soil water and groundwater recharge flux especially in arid and semiarid regions. These tracer methods are based on the solute profile shape (distribution of concentration ... -
Effects of fiber content and extrusion parameters on the properties of flax fiber - polyethylene composites
Siaotong, Bruno Antonio Consuegra (2006-04-18)Extrusion compounding addresses such problems as the non-homogeneity of the mixture and separation of fiber from the polymer during rotational molding, which consequently affect the mechanical and physical properties of ... -
Effects of incorporating polycaprolactone and flax fiber into glycerol-plasticized pea starch
Fabunmi, Olayide Oyeyemi (2008)The environmental menace associated with the existing eco-unfriendly conventional plastics prompted the exploration of natural polymers such as starch for the development of biodegradable plastics. These efforts have seen ... -
The effects of preharvest treatments on the milling efficiency of red lentil
Bruce, Jesse Lee (2008)ABSTRACT Canada is currently the world leader in red lentil exports, a crop of significant economic importance to Western Canadian producers. It is important for the maintenance and growth of foreign markets that our ... -
Environmental Impact of livestock mortalities burial
Pratt, Dyan Lindsay (2009)The objective of this thesis was to determine the potential impact on groundwater quality as a result of the release of leachate from livestock mortality burial for three species of livestock: swine, bovine and poultry. ... -
Evaluation of drying technologies and physico-chemical characterization of wheat distillers dried grain with solubles (DDGS) (with a case study application in the Philippines)
Mosqueda, Maria Rosario (2014-04-17)Wheat distillers dried grain with solubles (DDGS) is a co-product of ethanol production, primarily utilized as an animal feed ingredient. Reduced protein quality, a highly energy-intensive drying process, and product ... -
