Network Models of Self-Assembled Functional Materials
The fabrication of functional materials composed of metallic nanoparticles is one of the most important steps in the contemporary nanotechnology. Nonlinear selfassembly of nanoparticles into macroscopic aggregates are promising methods in which various structures can be obtained by tuning certain control parameters. Such large-scale aggregates exhibit new physical features, which …
PURY: A Topology and geometry parameter library for small molecules
The number and variety of macromolecular structures in complexes with "hetero" ligands is growing. The need for fast delivery of correct geometric parameters for their refinement, which is often crucial for understanding the biological relevance of the structure, is growing correspondingly. The current standard for describing protein structures is the …
Supervised Descriptive Rule Induction
The goal of knowledge discovery in databases is to construct models or discover interesting patterns in data. Model construction and pattern discovery are frequently performed by rule learning, as the induced rules are easy to be interpreted by human experts. The standard classification rule learning task is to induce classification/prediction …
Modular gene dynamics and network theory at mesoscopic scale
Complex dynamical systems are often modeled as networks, with nodes representing dynamical units which interact through the network’s links. Gene regulatory networks, responsible for the production of proteins inside a cell, are an example of system that can be described as a network of interacting genes. The behavior of a …
Dynamic Modeling of Climate Change Impacts of Greenhouse Gas Reduction with Renewable Energy in Kosovo
Atmospheric concentration of CO2 and other greenhouse gases (GHG) is higher than any time in the last 400000 years and growing faster than at any time in the past 18000 years. The high concentration of GHG generates radiative forcing that contributes to climate change. Energy production from fossil fuels has …
Impact Analysis for Integrated Assessments of Climate-Energy Models
It is evident that the worldwide average temperature is rising and climate is changing (WMO, 2003) and it is believed that there is sufficient evidence that this is due to human activities (IPCC 2001). Human activities are primarily responsible for the release of carbon dioxide and other global warming pollutants …
Automatic text parsing aided by clause splitting and intra-clausal coordination detection
In language technologies, syntactic parsing represents one of the possible intermediate steps of text analysis in the applications such as machine translation, information extraction, question answering, etc. Syntactic trees are often used to demonstrate the structure of text. In the last decades, the dependency framework became a popular syntactic representation, …
Mass Balance of Mercury in the Idrijca River Catchment
Mercury (Hg) pollution has been investigated in the area of the Idrija mercury mine, Slovenia, where the second largest mercury mine in the world operated for more then 500 years. Although the production of mercury at the Idrija mercury mine stopped in 1994, centuries of mining and ore processing operations …
Solution synthesis of nanoparticles in multicomponent oxide systems
The study of PbZrO3 (PZ), PbTiO3 (PT) and La2Zr2O7 (LZ) prepared by alkoxide sol-gel synthesis is described. PZ and PT sols were prepared from lead acetate, zirconium and titanium n-butoxide, in n-butanol and hydrolysed with Rw (molar ratio of water per lead acetate) between 2 and 15 in neutral medium …
Self-assembly properties of Mo6S9-xIx nanowires with different (bio)materials
This thesis presents a study of different nanoscale functional properties of Mo6S9-XIx nanowires and demonstrates a straight-forward functionalization route based on self-assembly. In order to ascertain their basic functional properties, studies of dispersion and electromobility under different conditions were performed. It was found that the nanowire bundles, due to their …
