Orbit Dynamics, Stability and Chaos in Planetary Systems
Let us start with a problem of dynamical biology, which was posed about 800 years ago by Fibonacci1 -
Collision Free Motion Planning on Graphs
A topological theory initiated in [4,5] uses methods of algebraic topology to estimate numerically the character of instabilities arising in motion... -
Computing Protein Structures from Electron Density Maps: The Missing Fragment Problem
Rapid protein structure determination relies greatly on the availability of software that can automatically generate a protein model from an... -
Aid of Scaling Laws in the Achievement of a Well-Controlled Film Deposition Process
Scaling laws are profitably applied in all the scientific disciplines. Approximated solutions constitute a valuable aid for the analysis of complex... -
Vibrational Spectroscopy in Ion–Irradiated Carbon–Based Thin Films
In this work we present and discuss some selected experiments on ion–irradiated carbon–based thin films. Vibrational spectroscopy is used to... -
Laser Ablation-Deposited CN x Thin Films
Amorphous CN x thin films were deposited at room temperature by pulsed laser ablation of graphite targets in a... -
Elastic and Structural Properties of Carbon Materials Investigated by Brillouin Light Scattering
Brillouin light scattering (BS) is a nondestructive technique exploited to investigate collective excitations in solids: acoustic phonons, spin... -
Pulsed Laser Deposition of Carbon Films: Tailoring Structure and Properties
Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) is a versatile technique to synthesize films of a given material with strongly different properties. In this chapter we... -
Growth and Room Temperature Spin Polarization of Half-metallic Epitaxial CrO2 and Fe3O4 Thin Films
Potential applications of systems based on half-metallic ferromagnets (HMFs) in magneto- and spinelectronics including spin injectors, magnetic field... -
Optical Analysis of Monolayers at Surfaces and Interfaces
Surface as well as interface properties are crucial for tailoring advanced materials, especially if the structure size in one or more dimensions... -
AlGaN/GaN Electrolyte-Gate Field-Effect Transistors as Transducers for Bioelectronic Devices
AlGaN/GaN electrolyte gate field-effect transistors are assessed as a transducer device for biosensor applications. Their low-frequency noise power... -
Planet Formation
Motivating the study of planet formation is not difficult for any curious audience. One of the fundamental human questions is that of origins: “where... -
Pareto Optimal Coordination on Roadmaps
Given a collection of robots sharing a common environment, assume that each possesses an individual roadmap for its C-space and a cost function for... -
Coordinating Multiple Droplets in Planar Array Digital Microfluidics System
This paper presents an approach to coordinate the motions of droplets in digital microfluidic systems used for biochemical analysis. A digital... -
Semi-Differential Invariants for Recognition of Albebraic Curves
This paper studies the recognition of low-degree polynomial curves based on minimal tactile data. Differential and semi-differential invariants have... -
Computing Deform Closure Grasps
In prior work, we extended the well-known form closure grasp framework for rigid parts to a class of deformable parts, modeled as frictionless... -
Ion Microscopy on Diamond
Because of its physical properties (strong radiation hardness, wide energy gap with a consequent extremely low dark current, very large electron and... -
Raman Spectroscopy and Optical Properties of Amorphous Diamond-Like Carbon Films
The Raman spectroscopy and optical characterization of amorphous hydrogen-free diamond-like carbon films is described. The samples were prepared by... -
Correlation Between Local Structure and Film Properties in Amorphous Carbon Materials
A discussion of the various amorphous carbon and amorphous hydrogenated carbon films is presented. A link between sp 2, sp... -
