A cycle basis of a graph is a family of cycles which spans all cycles of the graph. In an undirected graph, a cycle is simply a set of edges with respect to which every vertex has even degree. We view cycles as vectors indexed by edges. The entry for an edge is one if the edge belongs to the cycle and is zero otherwise. Addition of cycles corresponds to vector addition modulo 2 (symmetric diffe...

The authors studied the effect of the temperature and chemical state of the chamber wall on process performance for atomic layer etching of SiO2 using a steady-state Ar plasma, periodic injection of a defined number of C4F8 molecules, and synchronized plasma-based Ar+ ion bombardment. To evaluate these effects, the authors measured the quartz coupling window temperature. The plasma gas phase ch...

Our understanding of the complex aqueous chemistry of iron in natural systems has advanced significantly over recent years. Here we will highlight how new contributions from nanogeoscience combine with conventional aqueous geochemistry to provide a novel view of kinetics in the modern iron biogeochemical cycle, and the evolution of the iron cycle through geologic time. We start by considering t...

Automated mechanism generation is an attractive way to understand the fundamental kinetics of complex reaction systems such as silicon hydride clustering chemistry. It relies on being able to tell molecules apart as they are generated. The graph theoretic foundation allows molecules to be identified using unique notations created from their connectivity. To apply this technique to silicon hydri...

In this paper we review the knowledge of the ecology of the largest freshwater ecosystem on Earth: the rice-fields, and in particular the rice-fields from Valencia (Spain) making a special consideration to the cyanobacteria present in this ecosystem. Rice-fields are artificial shallow aquatic ecosystems in which the land management and the agricultural practices together with the rice plant gro...

Previous research has seen difficulties in establishing clear discrimination by principal component analysis (PCA) between drug-treated cells analysed by single point SR-FTIR spectroscopy, relative to multisampling cell monolayers by conventional FTIR. It is suggested that the issue arises due to signal mixing between cellular-response signatures and cell cycle phase contributions in individual...

Hassan Sepehrmansourie was born in Hamedan, Iran in 1994. He received his B.Sc. in Applied Chemistry (2017) from Bu-Ali Sina University, Iran.
