Abstract: The microstructure transformation, mechanical properties, and fracture behavior of boron (B) decorated tin (Sn)-1.5%Ag-0.7%copper (Cu) (SAC157) solder joints with Cu pillars were analyzed. Three concentrations of B (0.015%, ...

Abstract: The performance of a series-electrokinetic (EK) process in treating a clay soil artificially contaminated with 300 mg/kg trichloroethylene (TCE) was investigated. Constant voltage gradients of 1 or 2 V/cm to induce the ...

Abstract: The thermal degradation kinetics of polypropylene (PP) in steam was investigated with a thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) reaction system. The experiments were carried out in the 500–800 K temperature range at various ...

Abstract: The effects of oxygen on the pyrolysis of tetra pack, a principal component of municipal solid wastes in Taiwan, were investigated with a thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) reaction system. The pyrolysis experiments of ...

Abstract: The effectiveness of incorporating Fe(O) barrier into electrokinetic (EK) process to remediate Cr(VI) contaminated clay

Abstract: The effects of oxygen on the pyrolysis of rice husk were investigated with a thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) reaction system. Pyrolysis experiments of rice husk were carried out in

Abstract: One of the most difficult issues to fabricate a fuel cell with a complex design is the manufacturing method. To solve this difficulty, the authors applied an innovative method of fuel cell ...

Abstract: The pyrolysis kinetics of cellulosic uncoated printing and writing paper, which is one of the principal materials contributing to the municipal solid waste (MSW) of Taiwan, was investigated with a thermal gravimetric ...

Abstract: In this paper, we present an integrated robotic arm with a flexible endoscope for laparoscopy. The endoscope holder is built to mimic a human operator that reacts to the surgeon's push while maintaining both the incision ...
