According to J.A.N. Lee in 1996, computer scientists “are reaching the stage of development where each new generation of participants is unaware both of their overall technological ancestry and the history of the development of their speciality, and have no past to build upon” [1, p.54]. A technically and historically accurate account, as attempted here, can help us, computer scientists, grasp ...

A new general reaction for the preparation of isomerically pure hydroxyalkylated C(60) monoadducts, via the free radical photochemical addition of alcohols to [60]fullerene, is described.

The formation of polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEMs) for the first time, two decades ago, demonstrating the assembly on charged substrates in a very simple and efficient way, has proven to be a reliable method to obtain structures tunable at the nanometer scale. Much effort has been put into the assembly of these structures for their use in biological applications. A number of these efforts have...

This is a description of the programming language Forsythe, which is a descendant of Algol 60 intended to be as uniform and general as possible, while retaining the basic character of its progenitor. This document supercedes Report CMU{CS{88{159, \Preliminary Design of the Programming Language Forsythe" 1].

Novel spherical Pd@Cys-C(60) nanoparticles were synthesized using an in situ spontaneous reduction process without any other reducing agent. A nonenzymatic electrochemical biosensor was developed for the detection of glucose based on the spherical nanoparticles film.

The formation of polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEMs) is investigated using a silicon-on-insulator based thin film resistor which is sensitive to variations of the surface potential. The buildup of the PEMs at the silicon oxide surface of the device can be observed in real time as defined potential shifts. The influence of polymer charge density is studied using the strong polyanion poly(styrene ...
