NAMD is a portable parallel application for biomolecular simulations. NAMD pioneered the use of hybrid spatial and force decomposition, a technique used by most scalable programs for biomolecular simulations, including ...

Referencing remote entities by names rather than by addresses is desirable in computer network or a joint-network. In this thesis, the naming and addressing problems in the internetwork environment are studied. Four naming ...

Also included is the results of a finite element analysis and simulated melting of bismuth films on various kinds of sensors. Temperature distributions are found to be nonuniform for calorimetric sensors with Al metallizations, ...

There have been large developments in metallic material systems over the past century. The mechanical properties of metals have been manipulated by varying the composition of alloys. In this thesis we characterize two ...

Tremendous interest in nanotechnology has required versatile patterning tools for the fabrication of nanometer-scale structures with high precision and electron-beam lithography (EBL) has been widely used for this purpose. ...

This work investigates nanometer-scale thermometry and thermal transport in new electronic devices to mitigate future electronic energy consumption. Nanometer-scale thermal transport is integral to electronic energy ...

The ability to pattern 1D arrays of TiO2 microwires offers precise control of filament diameter and spatial location, enabling a systematic study of microwire TiO2 gas sensors. A model gas sensor consisting of a single ...

This thesis studies methods of engineering the placement of nanoparticle with sub-micron resolution over macroscopic size scales. Such control holds great promise as an inexpensive methodology for manufacturing devices, ...

This work presents a study on the self-organization in condensed phases of rodcoil diblock polymers synthesized in our laboratory. Each macromolecule consists of a rigid and monodisperse rodlike segment covalently attached ...

DNA translocation through a cell membrane can be modeled by studying the numerical model of the electrostatics of a doped semiconductor. A software for the theoretical investigation of DNA translocation through a nanopore ...
