Fused aromatic networks (FANs) are a new generation of porous organic (PONs), which thermodynamic products. FANs also kinetic products with low crystallinity. Nevertheless, their high physicochemical stability suggests many potential applications. This work reports three structures fully fused units vertically (V), horizontally (H), and three-dimensionally (3D) linked to the growth direction, f...

SPATIAL ARRANGEMENT AS A PART OF GEOSPATIAL FEATURE ONTOLOGIES Jonathan R. Clark, Ph.D George Mason University, 2012 Dissertation Director: Dr. Anthony Stefanidis The geospatial sciences have always employed ontologies to describe spatial data, conduct analysis, and to design the systems and methods for conducting geospatial operations. While research on geospatial ontologies has addressed non-...

In this paper we propose a qualitative spatial relation called "arrangement" which serves to identify medical images obtained from similar tomographic sections. "Arrangement" describes the sequence in which neighbors of each part are situated around it in the image. "Arrangement" is closely related to the Voronoi diagram of the parts. Based on the Voronoi diagram a metric for comparing "arrange...

Highly branched, coral-like Pd nanostructures were formed using a biomineralization peptide conjugated to an oligomeric peptide that simultaneously controls the spatial orientation, arrangement and valency. The Pd nanocoral showed very high catalytic activity in the reduction of nitrophenol. The results highlight the importance of topological arrangement in nanostructure formation and catalytic...
