Azobenzenes and dithiocarbamates in molecular film devices
No full textThe “top-down” approach to improve the performance of small electronic devices is becoming more and more challenging due to economic and engineering restrictions. Thus, researchers seek for alternatives towards efficient, smaller and faster devices. The “bottom-up” method, in which molecules or molecular films implement electronic functionalities, is an outstanding challenge for scientists. The functionalization of metals with molecular films changes the metals’ characteristics and thus the tuning of device properties is possible. The fundamental research of exploring functionalized surfaces is the driving force of this PhD-work. In particular, the focus will be set on the electronic communication between two interfaces which have to be considered when gearing towards applications such as organic light-emitting diodes and organic field?effect transistors. The investigations on appropriate metal-molecule and molecule-semiconductor interfaces are crucial to improve the charge transport of a molecular thin film device. The exploration of the metal’s work function is of particular interest and is the main aspect addressed in this work. However, the modulation of the molecular backbone to tune the crystallinity of the self?assembled monolayer and thus the electronic properties of the metal is also investigated within this project.
The design, synthesis and characterization of molecular structures bearing azobenzenes and dithiocarbamates, which are appealing functional units, is presented in this work. Subsequently, the self-assembled monolayers of these structures are prepared and the interdependence of the self-assembled monolayers and the substrate electrodes is investigated. These studies are performed in a close collaboration with the research groups of Prof. P. Samorì, Prof. Dr. B. Doudin, Prof. C. Wöll and Prof. M. A. Rampi and with Dr. F. von Wrochem and Dr. W. Ford from the Material Science Laboratory of SONY Deutschland GmbH. Within this research activity the main aim is to obtain a deeper understanding of the correlation between the structural architecture of molecular films and the overall device’s electronic performance
Towards Modular Compilation Using Higher-Order Effects
No full textCompilers transform a human readable source language into machine readable target language. Nanopass compilers simplify this approach by breaking up this transformation into small steps that are more understandable, maintainable, and extensible. We propose a semantics-driven variant of the nanopass compiler architecture exploring the use a effects and handlers to model the intermediate languages and the transformation passes, respectively. Our approach is fully typed and ensures that all cases in the compiler are covered. Additionally, by using an effect system we abstract over the control flow of the intermediate language making the compiler even more flexible. We apply this approach to a minimal compiler from a language with arithmetic and let-bound variables to a string of pretty printed X86 instructions. In the future, we hope to extend this work to compile a larger and more complicated language and we envision a formal verification framework from compilers written in this style

The life of Jimmy Reinders and his approach to teaching the clarinet
No full textThesis (MPhil)--Stellenbosch University, 2016.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study is to investigate and document the life of Jimmy Reinders. A biography compiled with music-related events in his life sheds light onto his experiences as a musician and professional clarinet player. This includes the numerous influences that had an effect on his choice of clarinet, accessories and the approach or understanding of the fundamentals of playing the clarinet.
The clarinet originated in the 1700s and its use was fostered by the formation of different international clarinet schools with the most significant of them being French and German. The German and French schools of clarinet playing have individual characteristics that are relevant to the modern day clarinet player including Reinders whose approach to the clarinet is multi-faceted due to the influence of these two clarinet schools. This explains his choice of clarinet accessories and his approach to the fundamentals of the clarinet.
The study commences with a biography limited to music-related events in the life of Jimmy Reinders whose teachers and mentors exposed him to a wide array of clarinet fundamentals from different international clarinet schools. He achieved what the researcher identifies as a “good clarinet sound” (identified as warm, resonant, rounded, and balanced throughout the whole register) through his choice of clarinet, accessories and his approach to the clarinet. The aim of this thesis is to understand and investigate Jimmy Reinders’ approach to the technical fundamentals of the clarinet, his choice of clarinet and accessories (mouthpiece, ligature and reed) and to place this information within the context of the major international clarinet schools (German or French). The technical fundamentals, as approached by Reinders, include a possible “foundation” of learning to play the clarinet that is also related to an international school of clarinet playing. The document concludes with an overview, placing Reinders’ choice of clarinet, accessories and approach to the clarinet within the German or French school of clarinet playing.AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die doel van hierdie studie is om die lewe van Jimmy Reinders te bestudeer en dokumenteer. 'n Biografie wat aspekte van sy musiekloopbaan dokumenteer werp lig op sy wedervaringe as musikus en professionele klarinetis. Dit sluit invloede in wat 'n effek gehad het op sy keuse in klarinet en die instrument se bykomstighede, asook invloede wat sy eie opinie en benadering tot die basiese vertrekpunte van klarinetspel help vorm het.
Die klarinet het in die 1700's ontstaan. Gebruik van die instrument is ontwikkel deur die bevordering van internasionale skole van klarinetspel, waarvan die mees belangrike die Franse en Duitse skole is. Hierdie skole het individuele eienskappe wat relevant is in kontemporêre klarinetspel. Hierdie invloed op Reinders lei tot 'n veelsydige benadering tot die instrument wat sy keuse van klarinet, bykomstighede asook sy benadering tot die basiese beginsels van klarinetspel verklaar.
Die studie oor Jimmy Reinders begin met 'n biografie wat tot musiekverwante gebeure beperk is. Hierdie gebeure werp lig op invloede van onderwysers en mentors wat hom aan 'n verskeidenheid van die grondbeginsels van klarinetspel vanuit verskillende internasionale skole, bekend gestel het. Hy bereik wat die navorser as 'n "goeie klarinetklank" beskou (warm, resonant, rond, en deurlopend gabalanseerd in die hele register). Dit word bereik deur sy keuse van bykomstighede tot die instrument asook sy persoonlike benadering.
Die doel van hierdie tesis is om Jimmy Reinders se basiese tegniese grondbeginsels van klarinetspel, asook sy keuse van instrument en bykomstighede (mondstuk, ligatuur en riet) te verstaan, en verder binne die konteks van internasionale skole van klarinetspel te plaas (Duits of Frans). Hierdie tegniese grondbeginsels van Jimmy Reinders, belig 'n moontlike eiesoortige benadering wat verwant is aan ander internasionale skole, maar tog deur Jimmy Reinders as 'n leerskool bekryf is. Die navorsing sluit af deur die voorafgaande informasie opsommend binne die Duitse en Franse skool van klarinetspel te kontekstualiseer.Master
Prognostic Molecular Classification of Breast Cancer Based on Features Extracted from a Scale Space
No full textBreast cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers affecting females in the world. In recent years, many cancer researchers have been trying to determine molecular prognosis tools that predict cancer patient treatment response and/or chance of survival. In particular, the determination of gene expression signatures obtained by feature selection methods applied to large microarray datasets has shown potential. The main purpose of this study is to extend these gene signatures and molecular prognostic classifiers by investigating features constructed from a scale-space representation of the microarray data. Here, we construct a scale space by first mapping all genes to a one-dimensional functional space using protein family information. Next, we applied successive smoothing to the expression values resulting in one scale-space representation of the gene expression data from one sample. At the lowest scale, the scale space contains the original gene expression values, whereas at higher scales meta-features are formed, which are weighted sums of groups of genes. To test whether a scale-space representation is useful we performed feature selection and classification on a publicly available breast cancer expression dataset. We found that, instead of signatures consisting of single genes, meta-genes (i.e. groups of genes) that exist at higher scales were preferentially selected. We furthermore determined cross-validation errors using seven distinct classifiers (NMC, LDC, QDC, FISHERC, PARZENC, 3NNC, and LOGLC) and found that better performance is obtained using the scale-space representation than with the traditional representation of the gene expression data. As a result, we conclude that the scale-space analysis constitutes a potent way of selecting molecular signatures and is useful for prognostic classification.Pattern Recognition and BioinformaticsIntelligent SystemsElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc
