Abstract:
Bipolar electrochemistry deals with the exposure of an isolated conducting substrate that has no direct connection with a power supply except via an electric field. Therefore it can be considered as a "wireless technique". The polarization of the substrate with respect to the surrounding medium generates a potential difference between its opposite ends which can support localized electrochemical oxidation reduction reactions and break the surface symmetry of the substrate. The method was applied in the present thesis to materials science and biological systems. In the frame of designing asymme

Abstract:
Much of biology, especially evolutionary theory, makes assumptions about the individuality of living things. A population, for example, is made up of individuals. Those individuals sometimes reproduce, creating new individuals. The very use of these concepts requires that living individuals can be distinguished both synchronically and diachronically. There are many examples in nature, however, in which a living system is present, but it is not clear how to understand that system's individuality. Plants, fungi, colonial marine invertebrates, insect colonies, and symbiosis are all classic cases

Abstract:
Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Materials Science and Engineering, 2009.<br>Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.<br>Includes bibliographical references (p. 134-139).<br>Without doubt, energy and environment are becoming central issues for the future. In this regard, not only device performance but also environmentally sustainable ways of making energy device is important. To meet these needs, a M13 virus based biological toolkit was utilized in this work for controlling nanostructures of lithium ion battery electrodes which is a critical process in developing
