Verification, Validation, and Limits of Applicability of a Rapid Bonded Joint Analysis Tool

To gain a better understanding of the stress state in surface mount joints and their design considerations, an analysis method of bonded joints is developed and consequently three parameters that govern the stress distribution are identified. The solutions are obtained in terms of trigonometric and hyperbolic functions, and then applied to a simplified surface mount device. Contrary to general belief that the surface mount joints are mainly subjected to shear, it is shown that a peel stress also exists in a joint. Especially in a short joint used to connect stiff members as in direct mounting of chips and chip carriers, the magnitude of the peel stress is far greater than the shear stress.

AbstractA joint analysis of location and scale can be a powerful tool in genome-wide association studies to uncover previously overlooked markers that influence a quantitative trait through both mean and variance, as well as to prioritize candidates for gene-environment interactions. This approach has recently been generalized to handle related samples, dosage data, and the analytically challenging X-chromosome. We disseminate the latest advances in methodology through a user-friendly software package. The implemented R package (https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/gJLS2) can be called via PLINK to enable a streamlined population-based analysis genome-wide, or called directly as a front end R script for inter-mediate gene-set based analyses, or used in any R GUI for smaller analyses targeting specific variants of interest.

Ethnogeriatrics is an evolving specialty in geriatric care that focuses on the health and aging issues in the context of culture for older adults from diverse ethnic backgrounds. This article is an introduction to ethnogeriatrics for healthcare professionals including speech-language pathologists (SLPs). This article focuses on significant factors that contributed to the development of ethnogeriatrics, definitions of some key concepts in ethnogeriatrics, introduces cohort analysis as a teaching and clinical tool, and presents applications for speech-language pathology with recommendations for use of cohort analysis in practice, teaching, and research activities.

Disordered Speech

Spectral moment analysis (SMA) is an acoustic analysis tool that shows promise for enhancing our understanding of normal and disordered speech production. It can augment auditory-perceptual analysis used to investigate differences across speakers and groups and can provide unique information regarding specific aspects of the speech signal. The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the utility of SMA as a clinical measure for both clinical speech production assessment and research applications documenting speech outcome measurements. Although acoustic analysis has become more readily available and accessible, clinicians need training with, and exposure to, acoustic analysis methods in order to integrate them into traditional methods used to assess speech production.
