The spontaneous assembly of polypeptides through non-covalent interactions at physiological conditions is the main focus of the presented work and will be discussed from two different perspectives: (i) the interaction of peptide chains with themselves leading to formation of higher order...

Micro and nanoscale confinements and local curvatures, which are ubiquitous in natural and man-made materials and systems, cause significant impact on thermodynamic phase behavior. This effect has been extensively studied for single component solid's liquid phase transitions, but rarely for...

Three parameter thermodynamic predictive models have been shown previously to provide superior accuracy in the prediction of gas chromatographic retention times in comparison to other forms of modelling such as retention indices. However, these models suffer from the need for extensive...

Transportation operations, in connecting the factory with the construction site through the delivery of prefabricated building components (e.g., panel) using transportation equipment (e.g., trucks and trailers), play a significant role in determining the efficiency of overall panelized...

Developing a simple, general, and isothermal self-replicating system is one of the key requirements for a simplified detection platform for nucleic acid sequences specific to a disease causing microrganism. One of the challenges in achieving nucleic-acid templated isothermal amplification is that...

This Thesis describes the synthesis and investigation of π-conjugated oligomers and polymers with optoelectronic properties affected by the presence of a heteroatom. Two major classes of polymers are discussed: 1) polytellurophenes, where the backbone is formed by 5-membered heterocycles...

Electricity is an essential part of our daily life which can be supplied by power systems with fossil fuels or renewable energy sources. Nowadays, traditional power systems are evolving towards new smart grid with the development of advanced information and communication technology. Compared with...

Pavements in cold regions are prone to frost damages during winter as a result of prolong sever below zero temperature. Frost heave can negatively affect the performance and ride quality of the road. At the end of the frost season, when thawing begins in the sublayers, pore water pressure builds...
