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 ...
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 ...

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.
A hierarchical algorithm for predicting the linear viscoelastic properties of polymer melts with long-chain branching
(Springer-Verlag, 2005-01)
The “hierarchical model” proposed earlier [Larson in Macromolecules 34:4556–4571, 2001] is herein modified by inclusion of early time fluctuations and other refinements drawn from the theories of Milner and McLeish for ...
DNA molecular configurations in flows near adsorbing and nonadsorbing surfaces
(Springer-Verlag, 2004-12)
We investigate experimentally λ-phage and T2-coliphage DNA molecules near both non-adsorbing glass and adsorbing 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES)-coated glass surfaces in a simple steady shearing flow generated by a ...
Exact bond percolation thresholds in two dimensions
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2006-12-08)
Recent work in percolation has led to exact solutions for the site and bond critical thresholds of many new lattices. Here we show how these results can be extended to other classes of graphs, significantly increasing the ...
TECHNICAL NOTE: Theoretical considerations for counting nucleic acid molecules in microdevices
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2005-01-01)
We describe the theoretical design of a microchip for the amplification, detection and counting of individual nucleic acid molecules in an ensemble of non-specific molecules. The device permits access to individual molecules ...
FAST TRACK COMMUNICATION: Percolation crossing formulae and conformal field theory
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2007-08-03)
Using conformal field theory, we derive several new crossing formulae at the two-dimensional percolation point. High-precision simulation confirms these results. Integrating them gives a unified derivation of Cardy's formula ...
