Power consumption on mobile phones is a painful obstacle towards adoption of continuous sensing driven applications, e.g., continuously inferring individual’s locomotive activities (such as ‘sit’, ‘stand’ or ‘walk’) using the embedded accelerometer sensor. ...
We study some mechanical problems in which a friction force is acting on a system. Using the fundamental concepts of state, time evolution and energy conservation, we explain how to extend Newtonian mechanics to thermodynamics. We arrive at the two laws of ...
Following the analytic approach to thermodynamics developed by Stuckelberg, we study the evolution equations of a closed thermodynamic system consisting of point particles in a fluid. We obtain a system of coupled differential equations describing the mech ...

Precise information about kinetic properties of enzymes within a biochemical network is a necessary ingredient of any successful metabolic engineering design. Such information inevitably involves uncertainty due to changes in cellular and process parameter ...
Network models have been used to study the underlying processes and principles of biological systems for decades, providing many insights into the complexity of life. Biological systems require a constant flow of free energy to drive these processes that o ...
We present an algorithm for generating all polynomial invariants of P-solvable loops with assignments and nested conditionals. We prove termination of our algorithm. The proof relies on showing that the dimensions of the prime ideals from the minimal decom ...

The purpose of this introduction to spintronics is to provide some elementary description of its conceptual building blocks. Thus, it is intended for a newcomer to the field. After recalling rudimentary descriptions of spin precession and spin relaxation, ...

Engineering of large-scale metabolic pathways to maximize production of a certain substance or to minimize creation of undesired chemicals require explicit information about the underlying enzyme kinetics. Unfortunately, such information is frequently not ...
The development of multinary nitrides materials has revolutionised the hard coatings industry over the last 20 years. Especially important materials systems in this matter have been TiAlN and CrAlN which shows higher hardness, better oxidation resistance a ...
