Synthesis and electronic properties of dinucleic octaethylporphyrin (OEP) derivatives spaced withp-phenylene group [OEP-(p-Phen)n-OEP]. A comparative study with dihexylbithiophene (DHBTh) group-spaced OEP dimers [OEP-(DHBTh)n-OEP]

Analysis of Gate-Hold Delays At the OEP-35 Airports

One point of congestion in the air transportation system is the set of gates at a terminal. When an inbound flight is unable to pull into its assigned gate, the flight, its connecting passengers, and its flight crews experience delays and missed connections. Previous research has focussed on optimizing gate assignments, both scheduled and disrupted, and optimizing surface flow. This paper analy...

Linking mobile enhanced collective learning to open educational practice (OEP)

The enhancement of collective learning for teachers and students through mobile devices is the building block of this ‘idea’ paper. We address the connection between mobile enhanced collective learning and Open Educational Practice (OEP), as teaching and learning practice with Open Educational Resources. The aims are to develop an understanding of the connections between mobile enhanced group l...

Report on Verification of the MoBIES Vehicle-Vehicle Automotive OEP Problem

Report on Verification of the MoBIES Vehicle-Vehicle Automotive OEP Problem

The DARPA MoBIES Automotive Vehicle-Vehicle Open Experimental Platform [14] defines a longitudinal controller for the leader car of a platoon moving in an Intelligent Vehicle Highway System (IVHS) autonomously. The challenge is to verify that cars using this longitudinal controller provide a safe (that is, collision-free) ride. This report presents the process of verifying this particular contr...

X-ray absorption from large molecules at metal surfaces: theoretical and experimental results for Co-OEP on Ni(100).

Metal octaethylporphyrins (M-OEP), M-N(4)C(20)H(4)(C(2)H(5))(8), adsorbed at a metallic substrate are promising candidates to provide spin dependent electric transport. Despite these systems having been studied extensively by experiment, details of the adsorbate geometry and surface binding are still unclear. We have carried out density functional theory calculations for cobalt octaethyl porphy...
