Toward Quantifying System Manageability
Manageability directly influences a system's reliability, availability, security, and safety, thus being a key ingredient of system dependability. Alas, we do not have today a good way to measure manageability or reason quantitatively about it, and this is ...
2008Synthesis of uniform, non-natural oligomers
Oligomers with well-defined chain lengths are of interest as foldamers, are important as model compounds for high-molecular-weight polymers and find application in electrooptic and sensory devices. This account presents an overview of the strategies that a ...
2006Symmetry breaking in mechanical systems
The first part of this thesis studies the problem of symmetry breaking in the context of simple mechanical systems with compact symmetry Lie group G. In this part we shall assume that the principal stratum of the G-action on the configuration space Q of a ...
