Abstract:
Diffusive molecular communication (MC) is a promising strategy for the transfer of information in synthetic networks at the nanoscale. If such devices could communicate, then it would expand their cumulative capacity and potentially enable applications such as cooperative diagnostics in medicine, bottom-up fabrication in manufacturing, and sensitive environmental monitoring. Diffusion-based MC relies on the random motion of information molecules due to collisions with other molecules. This dissertation presents a novel system model for three-dimensional diffusive MC where molecules can also be

Abstract:
Tremendous advances in nanoscience during the past decades have drawn a new horizon for the future of science. Many biological and structural elements such as DNA, bio-membranes, nanotubes, nanowires and thin films have been studied carefully in the past decades. In this work we target to speed up the computational methods by incorporating the structural symmetries that nanostructures have. In particular, we use the Objective Structures (OS) framework to speed up molecular dynamics (MD), lattice dynamics (phonon analysis) and multiscale methods. OS framework is a generalization of the standard

Abstract:
This thesis begins with a review on the topic of molecular electronics. The purpose of this review is to motivate the need for good theory to understand and predict molecular electronics behaviour. At present the most promising theoretical formalism for dealing with this problem is a combination of density functional theory and nonequilibrium Green's functions (NEGF-DFT). This formalism is especially attractive because it is an ab-initio technique, meaning that it is completely from first principles and does not require any empirical parameters. An implementation of this formalism has been dev

Abstract:
Tissue heterogeneity, arising from intermingled cellular or tissue subtypes, significantly obscures the analyses of molecular expression data derived from complex tissues. Existing computational methods performing data deconvolution from mixed subtype signals almost exclusively rely on supervising information, requiring subtype-specific markers, the number of subtypes, or subtype compositions in individual samples. We develop a fully unsupervised deconvolution method to dissect complex tissues into molecularly distinctive tissue or cell subtypes directly from mixture expression profiles. We im

Assessing hazards due to energetic or reactive chemicals is a challenging and complicated task and has received considerable attention from industry and regulatory bodies. Thermal analysis techniques, such as Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC), are commonly employed to evaluate reactivity hazards. A simple classification based on energy of reaction (-H), a thermodynamic parameter, and onset temperature (To), a kinetic parameter, is proposed with the aim of recognizing more hazardous compositions. The utility of other DSC parameters in predicting explosive properties is discussed. Calori

This work investigates how different structural characteristics of metal nanoparticles influence the line profiles of the corresponding powder diffraction pattern. The effects of crystallite size, shape, lattice dynamics, and surface strain are all systematically studied in terms of their impact on the line profiles. The studied patterns are simulated from atomistic models of nanoparticles via the Debye function. This approach allows for the existing theories of diffraction to be tested,

Abstract:
La ricerca scientifica nell’ambito dell’ingegneria chimica si è focalizzata sia sul perfezionamento delle teorie e delle tecniche utilizzate attualmente, che sullo sviluppo di nuovi strumenti atti a risolvere le problematiche ancora insolute relative alle produzioni di beni e servizi tipici delle industrie chimiche, biochimiche e farmaceutiche. In questo panorama, gli approcci multiscala si sono rivelati molto utili grazie alla loro peculiarità di coniugare aspetti che spaziano dalla quanto-meccanica tipica della nanoscala, alla meccanica classica dei materiali massivi, comprendendo prospettiv

Abstract:
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is a highly versatile analytical technique for studying molecular configuration, conformation, and dynamics, especially of biomacromolecules such as proteins. However, due to the intrinsic properties of NMR experiments, results from the NMR instruments require a refencing step before the down-the-line analysis. Poor chemical shift referencing, especially for 13C in protein Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) experiments, fundamentally limits and even prevents effective study of biomacromolecules via NMR. There is no available method that can rereference carbon che

Abstract:
As propriedades físicas incomuns exibidas por fluidos confinados em meios porosos desempenham um papel importante em diversos processos químicos, geoquímicos e ambientais. Atualmente, muitos aspectos da estrutura e dinâmica dos fluidos espacialmente confinados ainda são pouco compreendidos. Nesse contexto, fenômenos interfaciais influenciam consideravelmente os processos que ocorrem em meios nanoporosos, podendo resultar em efeitos relevantes para o desenvolvimento dos dispositivos nanofluidicos. Esses sistemas multifásicos e com fenômenos multifísicos podem apresentar propriedades eletrônico

Abstract:
By exploiting the concept of emergent network properties and the hierarchical nature of networks, we have constructed several levels of models facilitating the investigations of issues in the area of respiratory neural control. The first of such models is an intracellular second messenger pathway model, which has been shown to be an important contributor to intracellular calcium metabolism and mediate responses to neuromodulators such as serotonin. At the next level, we have constructed new single neuron models of respiratory-related neurons (e.g. the pre-Btzinger complex neuron and the Hypo
