Recently, control over surface interactions of gold clusters and biomolecules is being pursued for potential use in biomedical and biosensing applications [1]. Furthermore, one and two dimensional assemblies of gold clusters allow for the creation of nanoconducting networks, direct visualization of biomolecules or control of plasmonic coupling [2]. Within the third dimension in space, gold clus...

An elastin-like polypeptide (ELP) composed of a polyhistidine tail (ELPH12) was exploited as a tunable, metal-binding biopolymer with high affinity toward cadmium. By taking advantage of the property of ELPH12 to undergo a reversible thermal precipitation, easy recovery of the sequestered cadmium from contaminated water was demonstrated as the result of a simple temperature change. In this stud...

We propose a description-logic style extension of OWL DL, which includes DL-safe variable SWRL and seamlessly integrates datalog rules. Our language also sports a tractable fragment, which we call ELP 2, covering OWL EL, OWL RL, most of OWL QL, and variable restricted datalog.
