Simple graphs that guide combinatorial materials design

The splitting design that leads to simple random sampling

Implementing unequal probability sampling, without replacement, is very complex and several methods have been suggested for its performance, including : Midseno design and systematic design. One of the methods that have been introduced by Devil and Tille (1998) is the splitting design that leads to simple random sampling .in this paper by completely explaining the design, with an example, we ha...

Smart materials that are actually smart 1 . Combinatorial design of textured mechanical metamaterials

As I type this commentary on my computer, I am reminded that the revolutionary advances in electronics over the past sixty years has made computing ubiquitous in our lives. Yet, the desktop computer on which I am typing can draw up to 200 Watts of power while the laptop I will probably switch to as I continue writing later will draw 60 Watts of power. In contrast, the human brain, which is not ...

Design of spintronic materials with simple structures.

A brief comparison of conventional electronics and spintronics is given. The key features of half metallic binary compounds with the zincblende structure are presented, using MnAs as an example. We discuss the interactions responsible for the half metallic properties. Special properties of superlattices and a digital ferromagnetic heterostructure incorporating zincblende half metals are also di...

Experimental Design for Combinatorial and High Throughput Materials Development

Simple Conceptual Graphs and Simple Concept Graphs

Sowa’s Conceptual Graphs and Formal Concept Analysis have been combined into another knowledge representation formalism named Concept Graphs. In this paper, we compare Simple Conceptual Graphs with Simple Concept Graphs, by successively studying their different syntaxes, semantics, and entailment calculus. We show that these graphs are almost identical mathematical objects, have equivalent sema...
