The 12 papers in this special issue are extensions of presentations given at the 44th Annual IEEE International Reliability Physics Symposium (IRPS), held in San Jose, CA, on March 26-30, 2006. The ...diverse set of papers include studies in assembly and packaging reliability, interconnect reliability, latchup, product reliability, soft error rate, memory reliability, process-induced damage, and transistor reliability. The papers are briefly summarized here.

Cellular simulation, a method of organizing simulation models to improve experimental efficiency, is described and shown to have the further advantages of reconciling the event based approach with ...the activity approach to simulation modelling and to have implication for modelling large systems.
Gentamicin absorption was measured after oral administration in 18 neonates treated prophylactically in an attempt to decrease the incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis. Patients were given 10 ...mg/kg/day in four divided doses via nasogastric tube for a total of 10 days. Levels were assayed using the Emit system. Serum levels ranged between 0 and 2.2 micrograms/ml. Mean levels over 10 days were 0.42 +/- (SD) 0.47 micrograms/ml and did not vary significantly from day to day. From these data we conclude that enterally administered gentamicin is not absorbed to a degree that would result in toxic or even therapeutic serum concentrations.
A study was conducted to: assess the current level of sodium (Na) in consumer fishery products; determine the variability of Na content in these products; and obtain preliminary data for assessing ...whether brine freezing and refrigerated storage processes could be changed to minimize fish muscle Na uptake. Analytical data generated in this study indicate that some modification of current practices is possible in order to either lower salt levels or reduce Na variation in fishery products for human consumption.
