COG (Chip on Glass) technology using solder bump reflow has been investigated to attach IC chip directly on glass substrate of LCD panel. As It chip and LCD panel have to be heated to reflow temperature of the so]der bumps for COG bonding, it is necessary to use low-temperature solders to prevent the damage of liquid crystals of LCD panel. In this study, using the Sn-52In solder bumps of $40{\mu}m$ pitch size, solder joints between Si chip and glass substrate were made at temperature below $150^{\circ}C$. The contact resistance of the solder joint was $8.58m\Omega$, which was much lower than that of the joint made using the conventional ACF bonding technique. The Sn-52In solder joints with underfill showed excellent reliability at a hot humid environment.

Lightweight materials were fabricated using glass abrasive sludge, bottom ash and slag powder in this study. This study tried to draw the correlation between physical properties and internal pore of lightweight material. The content of bottom ash and slag powder was from 10% to 50% and firing temperature from $760{^{\circ}C}\;to\;800{^{\circ}C}$ in rotary kiln. The lightweight material containing bottom ash or slag powder had a specific gravity of $0.21{\sim}0.70$ at particle size $2{\sim}4$ mm. Replacement ratio of the admixture increasing with specific gravity increased. Fracture strength of panel made with various lightweight materials was $32{\sim}55\;kgf/cm^2$ and flexural strength was $11{\sim}18\;kgf/cm^2$. Fracture strength increased by 72% and flexural strength was 63% compared with reference. Thermal conductivities of panel was $0.07{\sim}0.11W/m{\cdot}k$. The water absorption ratios of panel with lightweight materials containing bottom ash were $1.8{\sim}2.8$% and slag powder were $2.65{\sim}2.8$%. Excellent results on resistant of water absorption.

Three panel trammel nets were made illegal for the brown shrimp (Penaeus japonicus) or fishes by Korean fisheries law while trammel nets for fleshy prawn in the West sea remained legal. In this study a single panel tangle net with vertical loop lines rigged between the float line and sinker line was specially designed to catch brown shrimp. This net was developed for the first time after observation of the brown shrimp behaviour when reacting to a net in an observation tank. In field experiments these single tangle nets were compared with the traditional trammel nets in the coastal waters of the Keoje area. The mean number of the brown shrimp for 53 fishing operations was 1.13 per unit panel of the single tangle nets when fitted with the vertical loop lines. This was $84\%$ of the mean catch of 1.36 achieved with the trammel nets. These results of fishing experiments using single tangle nets in the field revealed a high fishing efficiency for the brown shrimp and showed little difference from trammel nets. The size of the brown shrimp or number of by-catch was not different between single tangle nets and trammel nets.

An active stimulating device (ASD) consisting of a net panel or ropes fluttering in the turbulence inside the cod end was effective in driving fish near the cod end to reduce juvenile by-catch. The fluttering characteristics of the rope and net panel were examined by video observations and analyzed for fluttering amplitude and period in a water channel and in field experiments with a bottom trawl. The amplitude ratio of the fluttering ropes or nets in the tank test increased with the fluttering index as the diameter of the twine, mesh size, flexibility, and flow velocity changed, whereas the period decreased with the above factors. In bottom trawl experiments, the range of mean depth difference in the fluttering net panel was 12-17% of the length of the fluttering net, and the period of depth difference or three-dimensional (3D) tilt was revealed, with shorter ones ranging from 2 to 6 s. The amplitude as depth difference and period from field measurements were similar to those of nets in tank experiments and also to the period of 3D flow velocity inside the cod end. These results could be used to design an ASD that could be used for to the cod end of actual towed fishing gear to reduce juvenile by-catch.

Dent resistance is an important characteristic to avoid damage on automotive outer panels. From a practical point of view, dents can be caused in a number of ways. Considering doors as an example, denting can occur from stone impacts or from the careless opening of an adjacently parked vehicle door. Denting can occur where the door surface is smooth and may not have sufficient curvature to resist dent. These exterior body parts are designed to improve dent resistance using a combination of work hardening and bake hardening. In brief, dent is affected by the shape of the parts and the material properties such as yield strength, strain and thickness. In this work, forming of door outer panel is investigated by Taguchi method. Main parameters are yield strength, thickness, blank size, blank holding force and so on. For the given value of design parameters, forming analysis of the eighteen cases are carried out according to L18 orthogonal array. After comparing the performance by simple conversion of simulation results into dent resistance, the final suggestion of the forming parameters is verified for the optimal improvement of dent resistance.

A carbon nanotube field emission display (CNT FED) panel with a 2 inch diagonal size was fabricated through screen printing of a prepared photo-sensitive CNT paste and vacuum in-line sealing technology. After surface treatment of the patterned CNT, only the carbon nanotube tips are uniformly exposed on the surface. The diameter of the exposed CNTs are usually about 20nm. The sealing temperature of the panel is around 390 $^{\circ}C$ and the vacuum level is obtained with $1.4{\times}10^{-5}$torr at the sealing. The field emission properties of the diode type CNT FED panel are characterized. Currently, we are in the process of developing a triode type CNT FED with a self-aligned gate-emitter structure.

This study aims to investigate the main factors that affected the government health expenditures in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), United Arab Emirates (UAE), Oman, Qatar, Bahrain and Kuwait), during the period from 2005 to 2019. The study employs a panel data technique in order to monitor the pooled determinant variables of healthcare expenditures in these countries. The study's results indicate, by using FMOLS approach for panel data, that the average healthcare expenditures per capita in GCC countries have a positive and a significant relationship with the government revenues, the size of the population, and the governments' public debt. The positive and the significant relationships of governments' public debt may be explained even if the governments of the GCC countries suffer from a budget deficit; the GCC countries continue to increase the healthcare expenditure. The study suggests that the policymakers of the GCC countries must take into consideration those variables when they develop their healthcare policies. Also, the GCC countries urgently need to have high levels of foreign exchange reserves to maintain the expected level of spending on the healthcare sector, because their public revenues depend mainly on the oil revenues, which are fluctuating continuously.

In this paper, a study on low-velocity impact response of four different sandwich panels for the hybrid bodyshell and floor structure application of the Korean low floor bus vehicle was done. Square samples of 100mm sides were subjected low-velocity impact loading using an instrumented testing machine at six energy levels. Impact parameters like maximum force, time to maximum force, deflection at maximum force and absorbed energy were evaluated and compared for four different types of sandwich panels. The impact damage size and depth of the permanent indentation were measured by 3-Dimensional Scanner. Failure modes were studied by sectioning the specimens and observed under optical microscope. The impact test results show that sandwich panel with composite laminate facesheet could not observe damage mode of a permanent visible indentation after impact and has a good impact damage resistance in comparison with sandwich panel with metal aluminum facesheet.

Fetal DNA (fDNA) detection in maternal serum is a challenge due to low copy number and the smaller size of fDNA fragments compared to DNA fragments derived from the mother. Massively parallel sequencing (MPS) is a useful technique for fetal genetic analysis that is able to detect and quantify small amounts of DNA. In this study, seven clinical samples of maternal serum potentially containing fDNA were analyzed with a commercial single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) panel, the HID-Ion $AmpliSeq^{TM}$ Identity Panel, and the results were compared to those from previous studies. Reference profiles for mothers and fetuses were not available, but multiple Y chromosomal SNPs were detected in two samples, indicating that fDNA was present in the serum and thereby validating observations of autosomal SNPs. This suggests that SNP-based MPS can be valuable for fDNA detection, thereby offering an insight into fetal genetic status. This technology could also be used to detect small amounts of DNA in mixed DNA samples for forensic applications.
