Cs 499/699-01: Logic For Computer Scientists, Pascal Hitzler
Computer Science & Engineering Syllabi
Logic is often called the Calculus of Computer Science. Indeed, logic permeates most areas of Computer Science in one way or the other, sometimes more prominently, and sometimes as motivational or formal underpinning. Examples are database schema, program verification, semantics of programming languages, computer security, artificial intelligence, cognitive robotics, Web information systems, computer hardware circuitry, or modeling in software engineering.

Cs 790-01: Knowledge Representation For The Semantic Web, Pascal Hitzler
Computer Science & Engineering Syllabi
Semantic Web is a maturing field of technology that continues to be the emphasis of much focused re-search and industrial investigation. The central idea behind Semantic Web is to enhance data on the World Wide Web by so-called metadata, which describes the meaning (semantics) of the data and thus makes it available for processing in intelligent systems. In this course we cover in depth the standardized knowledge representation languages for expressing metadata, called ontology languages. We will in particular cover the Resource Description Framework RDF and the Web Ontology Language OWL, both of which are recommended standards by the World …

Dechlorination Of Environmental Contaminants Using A Hybrid Nanocatalyst: Palladium Nanoparticles Supported On Hierarchical Carbon Nanostructures, Hema Vijwani, Abinash Agrawal, Sharmila M. Mukhopadhyay
Dechlorination Of Environmental Contaminants Using A Hybrid Nanocatalyst: Palladium Nanoparticles Supported On Hierarchical Carbon Nanostructures, Hema Vijwani, Abinash Agrawal, Sharmila M. Mukhopadhyay
Mechanical and Materials Engineering Faculty Publications
This paper demonstrates the effectiveness of a new type of hybrid nanocatalyst material that combines the high surface area of nanoparticles and nanotubes with the structural robustness and ease of handling larger supports. The hybrid material is made by fabricating palladium nanoparticles on two types of carbon supports: as-received microcellular foam (Foam) and foam with carbon nanotubes anchored on the pore walls (CNT/Foam). Catalytic reductive dechlorination of carbon tetrachloride with these materials has been investigated using gas chromatography. It is seen that while both palladium-functionalized carbon supports are highly effective in the degradation of carbon tetrachloride, the rate of degradation …
