Abstract:

Herein is presented the collective experimental record of research performed in the Laboratory for Biological Surface Science. These investigations are generally classified under the category of bioanalytical surface science and include the following projects. Chapters III and IV describe the creation of a microfluidic device capable of generating fixed arrays of concentration gradients. Experimental results were matched with computational fluid dynamics simulations to predict analyte distributions in these systems. Chapters V and VI demonstrate the discovery and utility of photobleaching

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

This study surveyed the opinions of academic administrators of associate degree nursing programs, community college social science programs, and community college biological science programs regarding major benefits and concerns associated with the employment of part-time faculty. This study found that most part-time social science faculty teach in the classroom, half participate in non-teaching faculty activities, and most are paid a contract amount per course or credit hour. Part-time biological science faculty differed only in that most teach a combination of classroom and lab/practicum.

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

Thesis (PhD)--Stellenbosch University, 2012.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Computational molecular evolution is a field that attempts to characterize how genetic sequences evolve over phylogenetic trees – the branching processes that describe the patterns of genetic inheritance in living organisms. It has a long history of developing progressively more sophisticated stochastic models of evolution. Through a probabilist’s lens, this can be seen as a search for more appropriate ways to parameterize discrete state continuous time Markov chains to better encode biological reality, matching the histor

The instrument was calibrated using targets traceable to NITS standards of BaSO₄ with mixtures of Carbon Black.

How are processes working at the individual level, the species level and the macro-ecological level connected? This thesis explores the theoretical and structural constraints on biological evolution. It does this by developing an evolutionary program to model biological form. This development was necessary as the existing models of evolution are poorly suited to modelling morphological constraint. The model of biological form developed in this thesis uses graphs to abstractly represent organisms and the relationships of their internal structure. We show that by increasing the number of degrees

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
