Fundamentals of Nano-scale Systems

This research project will explore spin and charge flow in nanostructures. We propose to improve theoretical methods for describing transport phenomena, and other physical effects, and plan to use these methods to increase our understanding of experiments . We will study the properties of novel s...

Molecular portraits of breast cancer: Translating genomics to the clinical practice

By using hierarchical clustering of global gene expression data, we were the first to identify five subtypes of breast tumors characterized by specific expression patterns. Our existing work has generated a rich and unique resource and knowledgebase from which to continue research. We will apply ...

Moving Right Along: Expressions of Motion and Location and the Argument Structure of Adpositions

This is a five-year investigation into prepositions (like to), postpositions (like Japanese made ‘up to’), particles (like away), and the way that such notions are expressed across languages. It is well-known that languages vary dramatically in the number of adpositional elements they have; even...

Higher-order molecular properties of molecules in the gas, liquid and solid state

The project will lead to a code for the analytical calculation of higher-order molecular properties at the Hartree-Fock and DFT level of theory. Particular attention will be paid to properties in which there is an explicit dependence on the basis set. The implementation will help improve the app...

Political Institutions, Development and a Domestic Civil Peace

Creating democratic institutions is an often recommended means to prevent and to terminate civil war. Under which conditions and in what forms are democratic institutions likely to be effective in reducing the incidence/recurrence of civil war? The most g eneral hypothesis is that the chances of ...

The geobiology of Arctic hydrothermal springs

The hydrothermal springs of Svalbard occur at the boundary between land and sea. This heterogeneous, photic setting may have given rise to communities and interactions that are more relevant to the origin of life than the dark mid-ocean localities that ha ve been more intensively studied. The Tr...
