ABSTRACT The synthesis of a novel supramolecular system comprising of branched polyethylenimine and cyclodextrin, is presented. The synthesis route is based on the self-assembly phenomena with the inclusion of solvent molecules. The systems are formed by a hydrogen-bonding network and host-guest type interactions between the building blocks. It was found that the native cyclodextrin and polyeth...

Structural analysis and thermal conductivity data on Sr8Ga16Ge30 and Eu8Ga16Ge30 crystals are reported. These compounds form in the cubic space group Pm 3̄n with lattice parameters of 10.721~2! and 10.703~2! Å respectively. Single-crystal x-ray diffraction and structural refinement indicate that the randomly distributed Ga and Ge atoms form a tetrahedrally bonded three-dimensional net in whose c...

Multicore architectures are employed more and more in todays system. A main task of current operating systems is to equalize the load of each CPU’s core, it is accomplished by the migration policy of an operating system. Nevertheless, the migration policy of an operating system is mostly entangled in the kernel. Thus, migration policies of guest kernels running within virtual machines may contr...

In the present study two organic guest host system are being explored for electronic applications based on 2-methyl 4-nitroaniline (2-mNA)/polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) and 2-mNA/ polyethersulfone (PES). Freestanding poled polymeric films have wide applications in nonlinear optics and in various photonics applications. Exploring dielectric capability of these films can be beneficial for many op...

We employ fully atomistic molecular modeling to investigate the concentration dependence of the electro-optic coefficient of two guest-host polymer composites. Using classical molecular dynamics, we record the time-evolution of the guest-host system under the application of an external electric field. Through analysis of the orientation of the nonlinear optical chromophores in the guest-host co...

The virtualization of I/O devices is an integral part of system virtualization. This includes both virtualizing the physical devices and managing them across multiple guest virtual machines (VMs) or domains running on top of a virtual machine monitor (VMM) or hypervisor (HV). This paper presents the notion of self-virtualizing devices, where for higher end, ‘smart’ I/O devices, selected virtual...

Leveraging hypervisor for security purpose such as malware analysis has been well researched. There still remain two challenges for analyzing security incidents on virtual machine: real-time monitoring and semantic gap. First, current active monitoring methods need to be improved for real-time protection of virtual machine. Second, semantic gap between virtual machine and hypervisor poses a sig...
