Molecular Dynamic Simulation of Bio-molecular Dynamics, Folding, and Assembly
… level. These indispensable tools use classical mechanical approaches to describe biomolecular dynamics, folding, and binding mechanisms. Although there are many different types of MD simulations, I will focus on two classes of approaches: empirical force field and coarse-grained native structure …

Environmental security planning : an application to the Longwood Medical Area
… the punitive (minimally), corrective and mechanical approaches with emphasis on the spatial perspective and the utilization of physical design strategies to deter crime. A "crime analysis model" is developed which focuses on five components: the offender, the journey to crime, the target, …

Understanding and Controlling the Magnetic and Optical Properties in van der Waals Semiconductors
… material. • In Chapter 3, we present several mechanical approaches to harnessing the power of magneto-electronic coupling in 2D vdW magnet CrSBr.2,3 Our qualitative analysis attributes the effects of these mechanical tuning knobs on magnetic properties to subtle alterations in bond geometry. • …

The role of brown algal cell walls in morphogenesis and development
… as well as molecular, biochemical and mechanical approaches to characterise the growth patterns and the cell wall contribution to shape change. To understand how the adult algal body is formed, I examined the branching strategy (phyllotaxis) in S. muticum. My results suggest that in S. …

Large scale quantum mechanical enzymology
… employ enough rigour, while conventional quantum mechanical approaches are too computationally expensive for systems of the requisite size. Linear-scaling density-functional theory (DFT) is an accurate method that can apply the predictive power of quantum mechanics to the system sizes required to …

A theoretical study of metal-organic frameworks
… were carried out by using ab initio quantum mechanical approaches such as density functional theory and perturbation theory. In addition, semi-classical methods like the Grand Canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) approach was also used. A structural motif called vicinal fluorination was adopted to …

Effect of Bacterial Strain on MICP and its Application for the Erosion Control of Fine Sands
… Current mitigation solutions are limited to mechanical approaches (e.g. filters, gravel packs), relying on the fulfilment of a ‘paradoxical permeability-retention criterion’; and to the use of emergency hydraulic head reduction which limits serviceability. In this context, microbial induced …
