Feeding a Molecular Squid: A Pliable Nanocarbon Receptor for Electron-Poor Aromatics

Engineering Nanocarbon Interfaces for Electron Transfer

Electron transfer events involving single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) play an integral role in a variety of applications, ranging from nanotube covalent functionalization to SWCNT-based photovoltaics. In the first part of this thesis, we explore ground-state electron transfer events, during the diazonium derivatization of carbon nanotubes, with the objective of modulating the extent of cov...

Modeling and Simulation of a Molecular Single-Electron Transistor

In this paper, to understand the concept of coupling, molecule density of states that coupled to the metal electrodes will be explained then, based on this concept, a weak and strong coupling for the molecules attached to the metal electrodes will be described. Capacitance model is used to explore the connection of addition energy with the Electron affinity and the ionization energy of the mole...

A Deterministic Algorithm for Pliable Index Coding

Pliable index coding considers a server with m messages, and n clients where each has as side information a subset of the messages. We seek to minimize the number of transmissions the server should make, so that each client receives (any) one message she does not already have. Previous work has shown that the server can achieve this using O(log(n)) transmissions and needs at least Ω(log(n)) tra...

A Pliable Hybrid Architecture for Code Isolation

A Case Report of Neonatal Atrial Flutter with Poor Feeding and Tachypnea

Background: Arrhythmias in neonates are not common and usually affect newborns with a normal heart or those that suffer from structural heart disease. A malignant type of arrhythmias is supraventricular tachycardia. Meanwhile, one uncommon type of supraventricular arrhythmias is atrial flutter (AFL), which is founded upon reentry mechanisms in the atrium. The AFL may result in heart failure or ...
