		<link><![CDATA[http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa3776/is_200206/ai_n9124485]]></link>
		<description><![CDATA[The compatibility between Ag fillers and Sn-Pb plating at elevated temperature was examined by mechanical test, electrical test, and microstructure observation. The degradation at 150 deg C is caused by the preferential diffusion of Sn from the plating layer into Ag in the conductive adhesive. By this diffusion, Ag-Sn intermetallic...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In this paper, we introduce nonlinear regularized wavelet  estimators for estimating nonparametric regression functions when  sampling points are not uniformly spaced. The approach can apply readily  to many other statistical contexts. Various new penalty functions are  proposed. The hard-thresholding and soft-thresholding estimators of  Donoho and...]]></description>
