The bottom–up approach is considered a potential alternative for low cost manufacturing of nanostructured materials [1]. It is based on the concept of self–assembly of nanostructures on a substrate, and is emerging as an alternative paradigm for traditional top down fabrication used in the semiconductor industry. We demonstrate various strategies to control nanostructure assembly (both organic ...

Bifidobacterium longum (B. longum) is a lactic acidproducing bacterium that grows naturally in the human gastrointestinal tract and defends the host against viral infection (Otles et al., 2003; Picard et al., 2005). As an anaerobe, B. longum can selectively germinate and proliferate in the hypoxic regions of solid tumors (Yazawa et al., 2000). Previous studies showed that B. longum had anticanc...

The increasing availability of forced-transient simulations of the last millennium (e.g., Fernández-Donado et al. 2013; Masson-Delmotte et al. 2013; Otto-Bliesner et al. 2015) from fully-coupled General Circulation Models (GCMs) has greatly improved the potential for investigating multidecadal-to-centennial-scale climate dynamics (e.g. Coats et al. 2013a, b, 2015a, b) and for comparing paleocli...

Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) as a non–parametric method is used to measure relative performance of organizational units. The aim of this paper is to develop a new model to evaluate the efficiency of a general two-stage network structures proposed by Li et al.  (2012) for measuring the performance of Decision Making Units (DMUs). In addition, this paper expands the work of Li et al. (2012) an...

The threat of climate change has intensified efforts toward the development of safer alternatives to depleting fossil fuels (Cox et al., 2000). Lignocellulosic bioethanol is considered to be a viable and environmentally friendly alternative to fossil fuels. Though lignocellulosic biomass is available in massive quantities and is renewable (Dillon and Dillon, 2003; Lynd et al., 2008; Pauly and K...
