The hydrogen sensing characteristics of a single nanotrench fabricated by focused ion beam milling (FIB) in an evaporated palladium microwire are presented. In situ atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements proved that, in the presence of H2, the trench c ...
The phenomenon of superhardening in TiN/SiNx nanocomposites and the prediction of extreme hardness in bulk gamma-Si3N4 have attracted a large interest to this material system. Attempts to explain the experimental findings by means of first-principles calcu ...
In this paper, we present a comprehensive framework for stochastic modeling, model abstraction, and controller design for a biological system. The first half of the paper concerns modeling and model abstraction of the system. Most models in systems biology ...

This paper provides a global picture of the bifurcation scenario of the Hindmarsh-Rose model. A combination between simulations and numerical continuations is used to unfold the complex bifurcation structure. The bifurcation analysis is carried out by vary ...
Understanding the long-term seasonal dynamics of alpine glacierized basins is essential to evaluating their relation to climatic forcing. We focus on process knowledge by following a minimalist approach, and propose a spatially lumped nonlinear differentia ...
Stochastic models of biological networks properly take the randomness of molecular dynamics in living cells into account. Numerical solution approaches inspired by computational methods from applied probability can efficiently yield accurate results and ha ...
The Red Queen hypothesis proposes that sex is maintained through selection pressure imposed by coevolving parasites: susceptible hosts are able to escape parasite pressure by recombining their genome to create resistant offspring. However, previous theoret ...
During the past decade, a number of different studies have identified several peculiar properties of networks that arise from a diverse universe, ranging from social to computer networks. A recently observed feature is known as network densification, which ...
Growth and form in biology are often associated with some level of fractality. Fractal characteristics have also been noted in a number of imaging modalities. These observations make fractal modelling relevant in the context of bio-imaging. In this paper, ...
Based on analogy between the charging and discharging of humans' tolerance to overheating stimuli and that of charge in an electrical capacitor, this paper proposes a simple mathematical model for predicting overheating risk given a set of measured / simul ...
