Microspring characterization and flip chip assembly reliability (Best Paper Award)
We describe new spring contacts which simultaneously achieve low resistance (30 micron) in dense two-dimensional arrays (180 x 180 micron pitch).

Extending the supply of alcohol fuels for energy security and carbon reduction
The paper critiques proposals for de-carbonizing transport and offers a potential solution which may be attained by the gradual evolution of the current fleet of predominantly low-cost vehicles via the…

Advances in calorimetry for drug discovery
This presentation looks at the advances in the miniaturization of calorimeters and how the increased throughput and reduced sample consumption of these devices could expand the application of calorimetry in…

Bright Lights, Clearly Visible in the Healthcare R&D Tunnel, Could Burn Out for Lack of Funds
The promise of continued healthcare innovation is increasingly threatened by inadequate funding of R&D at many levels: in academic and nonprofit organizations, in small business ventures, and even in large…

Software Verification and System Assurance
We review this idea and show how it provides a bridge between correctness, which is the goal of software verification (and especially formal verification), and the probabilistic properties such as…

Bringing Out The Playful Side Of Mathematics: Using Methods From Improvisational Theater In Professional Development For Urban Middle School Math Teachers
Many urban districts are underfunded, are low performing by current measures, and serve a high number of students who have special challenges of language, poverty, and cultural differences.

Direct Coupling of a Carbon Nanotube Membrane to a Mass Spectrometer: Contrasting Nanotube and Capillary Tube Introduction Systems
A carbon nanotube membrane was directly coupled to the inlet system of a mass spectrometer to evaluate its use as a novel potentially tunable membrane inlet system.

In Situ Optical Absorption Mercury Continuous Emission Monitor
This paper reports the development of an in situ continuous emission monitor (CEM) for measuring elemental mercury (Hg0) concentration in the exhaust stream of coal-fired power plants.

Thermochemistry of Gaseous Ammonium Nitrate, NH4NO3(g)
From the measured molecular weight of vapor over NH4NO3(c) by the simultaneous torsion-effusion/mass loss method, the partial pressure of NH4NO3(g) was evaluated over the range 321−360 K; in addition, the…
