There are several issues to be addressed concerning the management and effective use of information (or data), generated from nanotechnology studies in biomedical research and medicine. These data are large in volume, diverse in content, and are beset with gaps and ambiguities in the description and characterization of nanomaterials. In this work, we have reviewed three areas of nanomedicine infor...<br/><br/>Dennis G Thomas, Fred Klaessig, Stacey L Harper, Martin Fritts, Mark D Hoover, Sharon Gaheen, Todd H Stokes, Rebecca Reznik-Zellen, Elaine T Freund, Juli D Klemm, David S Paik, Nathan A Baker (2011) <i>Wiley Interdiscip Rev Nanomed Nanobiotechnol</i> <i></i> <i></i> : <br/>

Data generated from cancer nanotechnology research are so diverse and large in volume that it is difficult to share and efficiently use them without informatics tools. In particular, ontologies that provide a unifying knowledge framework for annotating the data are required to facilitate the semantic integration, knowledge-based searching, unambiguous interpretation, mining and inferencing of the ...<br/><br/>Dennis G Thomas, Rohit V Pappu, Nathan A Baker (2011) <i>J Biomed Inform</i> <i></i> <i></i> 44: 1 59-74<br/>

Three-dimensional kind time-dependent Simulations of viscoelastic Taylor Couette flow of dilute polymer solutions are performed using a fully implicit parallel spectral time-splitting algorithm to discover flow patterns with various spatio-temporal symmetries, namely rotating standing waves (RSWs), disordered oscillations (DOs) kind solitary vortex structures referred to as oscillatory strips (OSs...<br/><br/>D G Thomas, B Khomami, R Sureshkumar (2009) <i>JOURNAL OF FLUID MECHANICS</i> <i></i> <i></i> 620: 353-382<br/>

The conformational properties of a model macromolecule, namely DNA, in an oscillatory shear flow have been investigated using Brownian dynamics (BD) simulations. To elucidate the influence of time periodic motion on the chain dynamics, the simulation results have been compared to previous experimental and BD simulation studies in steady simple shear flow. Based on these comparisons, we have determ...<br/><br/>Dennis G Thomas, Ryan J DePuit, Bamin Khomami (2009) <i>JOURNAL OF RHEOLOGY</i> <i></i> <i></i> 53: 2 275-291<br/>

Cancer nanotechnology research data are diverse. Ontologies that provide a unifying knowledge framework for annotation of data are necessary to facilitate the sharing and semantic integration of data for advancing the research via informatics methods. In this work, we report the development of NanoParticle Ontology (NPO) to support the terminological and informatics needs of cancer nanotechnology....<br/><br/>Dennis G Thomas, Rohit V Pappu, Nathan A Baker (2009) <i>Conf Proc IEEE Eng Med Biol Soc</i> <i></i> <i></i> 2009: 4158-4161<br/>

When an ultrathin metal film of thickness h (< 20 nm) is melted by a nanosecond pulsed laser, the film temperature is a nonmonotonic function of h and achieves its maximum at a certain thickness h(*). This is a consequence of the h and time dependence of energy absorption and heat flow. Linear stability analysis and nonlinear dynamical simulations that incorporate such intrinsic interfacial therma...<br/><br/>Justin Trice, Christopher Favazza, Dennis Thomas, Hernando Garcia, Ramki Kalyanaraman, Radhakrishna Sureshkumar (2008) <i>PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS</i> <i></i> <i></i> 101: 1 <br/>

Hydrodynamic pattern formation (PF) and dewetting resulting from pulsed-laser-induced melting of nanoscopic metal films have been used to create spatially ordered metal nanoparticle arrays with monomodal size distribution on SiO2/Si substrates. PF was investigated for film thickness h <= 7 nm < laser absorption depth similar to 11 nm, and different sets of laser parameters, including energy densit...<br/><br/>Justin Trice, Dennis Thomas, Christopher Favazza, Radhakrishna Sureshkumar, Ramki Kalyanaraman (2007) <i>PHYSICAL REVIEW B</i> <i></i> <i></i> 75: 23 <br/>

We report spatiotemporal pattern formation in Taylor-Couette flow (i.e., flow between rotating cylinders) of viscoelastic dilute polymer solutions obtained for the first time from first-principles dynamical simulations. Solution structures with varying spatial and temporal symmetries, such as rotating standing waves, flames, disordered oscillations, and solitary vortex solutions which include diwh...<br/><br/>D G Thomas, R Sureshkumar, B Khomami (2006) <i>PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS</i> <i></i> <i></i> 97: 5 <br/>

Nonlinear dynamics that ensue after the inception of viscoelastic flow instabilities in homogeneous, curvilinear shear flows remain largely unexplored. In this work, we have developed an efficient, operator splitting influence matrix spectral (OSIMS) algorithm for the simulation of three-dimensional and transient viscoelastic flows. The OSIMS algorithm is applied to explore, for the first time, th...<br/><br/>D G Thomas, U A Al-Mubaiyedh, R Sureshkumar, B Khomami (2006) <i>JOURNAL OF NON-NEWTONIAN FLUID MECHANICS</i> <i></i> <i></i> 138: 2-3 111-133<br/>

The influence of fluid thermal sensitivity on the centrifugal flow instabilities in pressure-driven (Dean) and drag-driven (Taylor-Couette) Newtonian shear flows is investigated. Thermal effects are caused by viscous heating or an externally imposed temperature difference between the outer and inner cylinders, DeltaT* = 0 or a combination of both. In all cases considered, the maximum temperature d...<br/><br/>D G Thomas, R Sureshkumar, B Khomami (2004) <i>JOURNAL OF FLUID MECHANICS</i> <i></i> <i></i> 517: 251-279<br/>

Thermal effects induced by viscous heating cause thermoelastic flow instabilities in curvilinear shear flows of viscoelastic polymer solutions. These instabilities could be tracked experimentally by changing the fluid temperature To to span the parameter space. In this work, the influence of T-0 on the stability boundary of the Taylor-Couette flow of an Oldroyd-B fluid is studied. The upper bound ...<br/><br/>D G Thomas, R Sureshkumar, B Khomami (2004) <i>JOURNAL OF NON-NEWTONIAN FLUID MECHANICS</i> <i></i> <i></i> 120: 1-3 93-100<br/>

Fluid Mech. 462, 133 (2002)] studies have revealed that viscous heating causes significant destabilization of the Taylor-Couette flow of highly viscous and thermally sensitive fluids.

We estimate the amount of nuclear waste generated by different steps in the fuel cycle followed in the Indian nuclear programme, based on standard methodologies and public sources of information. The basic input in the case of power reactors is the amount of electricity they have produced. For research reactors, the inputs are their rated capacities and an average capacity factor. While our waste ...<br/><br/>M V Ramana, D G Thomas, S Varughese (2001) <i>CURRENT SCIENCE</i> <i></i> <i></i> 81: 11 1458-1462<br/>
