Microchannel Mixing, Entropy and Multifractals

Kaufman M., Camesasca M., Manas-Zloczower I., Cleveland State University, US

Microfluidic systems operate in a pressure driven flow regime with no moving parts to drag the fluids. Our research aims at developing rigorous assessment and quantification tools of mixing in microchannels. The tools are based [...]

Entropy-Enhanced Genome Analysis in Frequency Domain

Lyshevski S.E., Rochester Institute of Technology, US

In this paper, we report the application of an entropy-enhanced frequency-domain analysis concept to examine large-scale genomic data. This ensures superior coherency for qualitative and quantitative analysis. Different statistical methods are used in order to [...]

Computing Isomeric Higher and Smaller Fullerenes: Materials Controlled by a Profound Enthalpy/Entropy Interplay

Zhao X., Slanina Z., Osawa E., Toyohashi University of Technology, JP

Early results from the eighties for small carbon clusters like C4 or C6 have suggested that the combined quantum-chemical and statistical-mechanical computations could show some interesting temperature effects also for isomeric fullerenes. This feature was [...]
