Wireless Sensor Fusion Approach for Monitoring Chemical Mechanical Planarization (CMP) Process
(Oklahoma State University, 2010-12-01)
Chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) is used in the microelectronics and optical industries for local as well as global planarity and for producing mirror finished surfaces. Roughness (Ra), within- non-uniformity (WIWNU), ...
Role of financial development in total factor productivity: Evidence from listed firms in China
(2010-07)
Scope and Method of Study: This study empirically investigates the relationship between total factor productivity (TFP) and financial development at the firm-level using listed firms in China over the period of 1999 to ...
Estimating the Probability of Survival of Individual Shortleaf Pine (Pinus Echinata Mill.) Trees
(Oklahoma State University, 2010-07-01)
An individual tree survival model was developed for shortleaf pine (Pinus echinata Mill.) trees. Prediction of the probability of survival of an individual tree is essential when considering growth and yield of a stand. ...
Quasi-static Compression of Granular Materials (Sand) at High Pressures (~ 3 Gpa)
(Oklahoma State University, 2010-12-01)
This investigation presents the results on the static behavior of confined sand (from Eglin Air Force Base) subjected to axial compressive stresses up to 3 GPa. A self-aligning compression fixture was developed to statically ...
