The redox and iron-sulfide geochemistry of Salt Pond and the thermodynamic constraints on native magnetotactic bacteria
Salt pond is a meromictic system with an outlet to the sea allowing denser seawater to occupy the monimolimnion while the mixolimnion has relatively low salinity and is the site of greater mixing and microbial activity. The density contrast between the two layers allows for a unique geochemical …

On the performance and programming of reversible molecular computers
… way. Its main body focusses on the ways in which thermodynamics constrains the operation and design of such systems, and it ends with the proposal of a model of computation appropriate for exploiting these constraints. These thermodynamic constraints are approached from three different directions. …

Evolutionary physiology of New Zealand stick insects: A thermal biology approach
… test whether species from cold habitats overcome thermodynamic constraints by evolving cold-active enzymes. I found that the kinetic properties of trypsin are not predicted by latitude. However, significant phylogenetic signal for trypsin Vmax and KM suggest that phylogenetic constraints might be …

Accelerated carbonation of wastes and minerals
… of calcium and magnesium-based minerals into thermodynamically stable carbonates under ambient temperature and pressure. Also, literature offers little information about physical techniques or chemical substances that could enhance the efficacy of accelerated carbonation of alkaline wastes. In …

Links between climate feedbacks and the large-scale circulation across idealized and complex climate models
… forcings and feedbacks to investigate the thermodynamics of the response, and another that uses circulation feedbacks and thermodynamic constraints to investigate the dynamics of the response. In this thesis, I aim to help bridge the gap between these two frameworks by exploring direct …

A systematic study of ion-induced nanopatterning on photonic crystal-based label-free optical biosensor
… nanostructures, it is necessary to overcome the thermodynamic constraints by inducing a self-organization process on the surface, which can be initiated by ion-beam nanopatterning. Therefore, to address these two concerns, a systematic study on ion-beam nanopatterning on non-flat surfaces is …
