A one-dimensional Hamiltonian system can be modeled and understood as a two-dimensional incompressible fluid in phase space. In this sense, the chaotic behavior of one-dimensional time dependent Hamiltonians corresponds to the mixing of two-dimensional fluids. Amey (2012) studied the characteristic values of one such system and found a scaling law governing them. We explain this scaling law as a diffusion process occurring in an elliptical region with very low eccentricity. We prove that for such a scaling law to occur, it is necessary for a vorticity field to be present. Furthermore, we show that a conformal mapping of an incompressible …

Nanopore-based resistive pulse sensing represents an important class of single-molecule measurements. It provides information about many molecules of interest (i.e. DNA, proteins, peptides, clusters, polymers, etc.) without the need for labeling. Two experiments that are especially well suited for studying with nanopore sensors are DNA sequencing and DNA-protein force measurements. This thesis will describe progress that has been made in both areas.
DNA sequencing has become an active area of research for stochastic single-molecule sensing, with many researchers striving for the ultimate goal of single-molecule de novo DNA sequencing. One intriguing method towards that goal involves the use of a …
