Kinetics and fractal properties of the random sequential adsorption of line segments
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 1990-11-07)
The random sequential adsorption (RSA) of infinitely-thin line segments is studied by computer simulation. It is shown that the exponent for the time dependence of the surface coverage increases beyond the value 0.33, ...
Stability of coextrusion through converging dies
(Elsevier, 1991-12)
A linear stability analysis of multilayer flow of viscoelastic liquids through long, converging dies is performed by a rigorous two-dimensional analysis (2-D), as well as by a simplified one-dimensional analysis (1-D) on ...
LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Exact critical exponent for the shortest-path scaling function in percolation
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 1999-10-29)
It is shown that the critical exponent g1 related to pair-connectiveness and shortest-path (or chemical distance) scaling, recently studied by Porto et al, Dokholyan et al and Grassberger, can be found exactly in two ...
Excluded volume effects on the birefringence and stress of dilute polymer solutions in extensional flow
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 2000-10)
An algorithm is derived for calculating flow-induced birefringence using a bead-spring model with and without excluded volume effects. The simulation results for the bead-spring model compare well with experimental results ...
Flow-aligning and tumbling in small-molecule liquid crystals: pure components and mixtures
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 1999-08)
The results of an experimental study to measure the tumbling parameter, λ, for various small-molecule liquid crystals and their mixtures are presented. The methods used include textural observations (twist walls), a direct ...
A Stochastic Model for Wound Healing
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, Inc., 2006-03)
We present a discrete stochastic model which represents many of the salient features of the biological process of wound healing. The model describes fronts of cells invading a wound. We have numerical results in one and ...

An explicit solution to a discrete fragmentation model
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 1992-05-07)
The discrete binary fragmentation equation is solved explicitly for a model where the net rate of breakup of a particle of size k, ak, equals (k-1)/(k+1), and the daughter-size distribution bik/ equals 2/(k-1). This system ...
Transient director patterns upon flow start-up of nematic liquid crystals (an explanation for stress oscillation damping)
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 2001-07)
In this work we attempt to determine the origin of damped stress oscillations upon flow start-up of a nematic liquid crystalline monodomain. These damped stress oscillations were first observed by Gu et al. (1993) in the ...
Interplay between perturbative and non-perturbative effects in the stealthy Higgs model
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg / Società Italiana di Fisica, 2001-05)
We study corrections to electroweak precision variables in a model with strongly interacting singlet Higgs particles.
