Self-assembly is a powerful technique for the bottom-up construction of discrete, well-
defined nanoscale structures. Large multicomponent systems (with more than 50 …

Here we reported on the synthesis and characterization of Co3O4 gillyflower-like
nanostructures (termed as CGN) with peroxidase-like activity via an L-arginine-assisted …

γ-WO3 hierarchical nanostructures were synthesized by using a biomolecule-assisted
hydrothermal approach between Na2WO4· 2H2O and glycine acid (HOOC–CH2–NH2) in …

This chapter introduces and analyzes a memetic algorithm approach for the training of
artificial neural networks, more specifically multilayer perceptrons. Our memetic algorithm is …

We represent chord collections by simplicial complexes. A temporal organization of the
chords corresponds to a path in the complex. A set of n-note chords equivalent up to …

An l-cysteine-assisted self-assembly process for constructing complex PbS from cubes to
star and dendritic structures via hydrothermal routes is reported. In this process, l-cysteine …

The development of spatial representations of musical objects allows for a reformulation of
algorithmic problems arising in musical theory, fosters novel classifications and provides …

Monte Carlo simulations and finite-size scaling analysis have been carried out to study the
critical behavior in a two-dimensional system of particles with two bonding sites that, by …

Understanding the dynamic and reversible assembly of colloids and particles into complex
constructs, inspired by natural phenomena, is of fundamental significance for the fabrication …

Self-assembly is a phenomenon observed in nature at all scales where autonomous entities
build complex structures, without external influences nor centralised master plan. Modelling …
