Whenever a spacecraft is launched it is essential that the algorithms in the on-board software systems and at ground control are efficient and reliable over extended periods of time. Geometric numerical integrators, and ...

This thesis is devoted to understanding and improving technologically important III-V compound semiconductor (e.g. GaAs, InAs, and InSb) surfaces and interfaces for devices. The surfaces and interfaces of crystalline ...

A common feature of natural populations is that individuals differ in morphology, physiologyand behavior (<i>i.e</i> .phenotype). A thorough understanding of the molecular mechanisms and evolutionary forces behind this ...
