We investigate the parallel assembly of two-dimensional, geometrically-closed modular target structures out of homogeneous sets of macroscopic components of varying anisotropy. The yield predicted by a chemical reaction network (CRN)-based model is quantitatively shown to reproduce experimental results over a large set of conditions. Scaling laws for parallel assembling systems are then derived...

In this work we develop a method for fluid dynamically driven assembly in three dimensions and demonstrate its applicability to the development of programmable matter. Towards this end, we investigate docking of a single block onto a larger structure using detailed numerical simulations and experiments. Our simulation results show that a block whose degrees of freedom are limited is able to ali...

Assembly lines are one of the most frequently used flow oriented production systems in industry. Although only a few researchers have studied them, two-sided assembly lines are usually utilised to produce high-volume large-sized products such as trucks and buses. In this study, more than one two-sided assembly line constructed in parallel are balanced simultaneously using a newly developed ant ...

A rapid growth of the sequenced genomic data over the last two decades has far exceeded the advancement of both the algorithms and the computing horsepower required to expeditiously process and analyze it. Several algorithms have been devised and implemented to assist the process of genome fragments assembly: one of the most challenging and computationally intensive processes that may take week...

The assembly of overlapping grids is a key technology to deal with the relative motion multi-bodies in computational fluid dynamics. However, conventional implicit techniques for are often confronted problem complicated geometry analysis, and consequently, they usually have low parallel efficiency resulting from undifferentiated searching grid nodes. To this, method that employs two-step node c...
