Model theory of partially random structures
… structure of N, can be usefully thought of as random modulo some obvious obstructions. In the first part of this thesis, we document several such situations, show that the randomness in these interactions can be captured using first-order logic, and deduce in consequence many model-theoretic …

On the occurrences of motifs in recursive trees, with applications to random structures
… motifs and their occurrences on the fringe of random recursive trees. We compute the exact mean and variance of the multivariate random vector of the counts of occurrences of the motifs. We further use the Cramér-Wold device and the contraction method to show an asymptotic convergence in …

Investigation of the interaction of GdnHCl with poly-L-lysine, horseradish peroxidase and cytochrome c monitored via FTIR, CD and fluorescence spectroscopies
… studies of protein chemical denaturation. PLL, a random coil, was used to model the interaction between Gdn-d 5 -DCl and random structures. Spectroscopic evidence strongly suggested that Gdnd 5 -DCl associates with PLL, particularly with its lysyl side chains. The analysis of HRP indicated that it …

Effect of composition and sintering temperature on silica-nickel oxide foams by slurry method
… their strength is quite low because of their random structures. Natural lightweight materials such as bone, is a cellular solid with optimized structure. The aim of this study is to fabricate silica-nickel oxide (SiO2-NiO) foams with 20 μm to 800 μm open pore size, 50% to 80% of porosity, good …

Characterization of wave transport in non-conservative media with random and correlated disorder
<p>"Passive quasi-one-dimensional random media exhibit one of the three regimes of transport - ballistic, diffusive, or Anderson localization - depending on system size. The ballistic and diffusion approximations assumes particle transport, whereas Anderson Localization occurs when wave …

Multi-scale modelling of III-nitrides: from dislocations to the electronic structure
… (ELNES) data, (v) to apply the special quasi-random structures method to ternary III-nitride wurtzite alloys aiming to develop a methodology for modelling wurtzite alloys and to get quantitative agreement with experimental N K-edge ELNES structures, and (vi) to theoretically study strain …

Two-parameter noncommutative Gaussian processes
… computationally tractable descriptions of large random structures, such as random matrices or random graphs. The modern mathematical theory of free probability is increasingly giving rise to analysis tools specifically adapted to such large-dimensional regimes and, more generally, non-commutative …

Algorithm development for RNA structure prediction in RNA viruses
RNA structures play many different roles in the life cycles of RNA viruses, including in directing translational control, genome replication, subgenomic RNA synthesis, and encapsidation. However, predicting these structures can be challenging, especially when it comes to pseudoknots, long-range …

Ultrathin crystalline silicon solar cells incorporating advanced light-trapping structures
… photon absorption. A range of light management structures have been proposed in the literature to address this issue and many have been demonstrated to provide high absorption across the spectral range relevant to crystalline silicon, but their promise has yet to be realized in an active …

Breaking Symmetry: A Study of Novel Phenomena in Asymmetric Nanoplasmonic Systems
… deterministic aperiodic, quasiperiodic and random structures make up a new wave of asymmetric optical systems demonstrating unprecedented control of light compared to their periodic counterparts in areas such as random lasing, imaging, and bio-sensing. The governing physics of asymmetric …

Facile protein and amino acid substitution reactions and their characterization using thermal, mechanical and optical techniques
… of the study was to create and characterize microstructures from substituted alanine and lysine. Alanine and lysine were substituted with different concentrations of EVS. Bars and fibers were observed for alanine at moderate substitutions while at higher concentrations random structures were …
