- Structural Properties of Nanostar Dendrimers
United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and Hewlett Packard (HP) launched a Brain Gain project in 2006 to mobilize the Diasporas of African and Arab States region. The name of the project is "Digital infrastructure linking African and Arab Region universities to global knowledge". The long term goal of this project is to strengthen regional and global scientific collaboration and research for development in Africa and the Arab region by facilitating the African and Arab States region Diasporas. The UNESCO-HP "Brain Gain Initiative" uses grid and cloud computing to empower university faculty and students who have stayed in their home countries to engage in real-time scientific collaboration with those who have left. The e-infrastructure facilitates links with the Diaspora, enhances brain gain and strengthens university teaching and research capacities. Kuwait University is a beneficiary of the UNESCO-HP "Brain Gain Initiative" program. - The third workshop on UNESCO-HP "Brain Gain Initiative" will describe the features of this network that will enable Asia Pacific Diaspora to carry out collaborative research with experts in the African region. Prof Paul Manuel (Project Coordinator of UNESCO-HP "Brain Gain Initiative" project, Kuwait University) demonstrates how to strengthen regional and global scientific collaboration and research with Diaspora for development in Africa and the Arab region. In addition, a few research problems on nanotechnology will be discussed and these problems will be potential research topics for research collaboration with Diaspora.
- Nanotechnology has the potential to create many new materials and devices with a wide range of applications in medicine, electronics, and energy production. A dendrimer is an artificially manufactured or synthesized molecule built up from branched units called monomers using a nanoscale fabrication process. Dendrimers are recognized as one of the major commercially available nanoscale building blocks, large and complex molecules with very well defined chemical structure. From a polymer chemistry point view, dendrimers are nearly perfect monodisperse macromolecules with a regular and highly branched three dimensional architecture. This workshop will discuss the structure of nanostar dendrimers by studying the topological indices of the dendrimers and elegant computing techniques to derive topological indices without using brute-force methods, thereby avoiding tedious computations.
