It also is a proven, fertile field for undergraduate research. The math of voting, in its classical form, asks questions abou...

Bending Nanotubes with Microbubbles by Claus-Dieter Ohl (Asst Prof) Abstract from the paper: Manipulation and microrheology of carbon nanotubes with laser-induced cavitation bubbles

from the paper: Manipulation and microrheology of carbon nanotubes with laser-induced cavitation bubbles P. A. Quinto-Su, X. H. Huang, R. Gonzalez, T. Wu, and C. D. Ohl Carbon nanotubes and nanorods are among the stiffest materials on Earth with diameters ranging from of a few to hundreds of nanometers and lengths on the order of tens of micrometers. These nanomaterials are prospective candidat...

We show that, contrary to the situation in first-order term rewriting, almost none of the usual properties of rewriting are modular for higher-order rewriting, irrespective of the higher-order rewriting format. We show that for the particular format of simply typed applicative term rewriting systems modularity of confluence, normalization, and termination can be recovered by imposing suitable l...
