In this work, we utilize classical polymer density functional theory (DFT) to study gelation in systems containing colloidal particles onto which polymers are grafted. The solution conditions are such that the corresponding bulk system displays a lower critical solution temperature (LCST). We specifically compare our predictions with experimental results by Shay et al. (J. Rheol. 2001, 45, 913-927

In particular, I look at how traces of Zhuangzi’s butterfly dream appear in the oneiric fictions of Argentinian writer Jorge Luis Borges, and how, in turn, Borges’ dream-worlds have inspired Chinese author Can Xue to create a new kind of literary dreamscape.

BACKGROUND: Increased intraocular pressure (IOP) has been shown to be one of the most important risk factors for developing glaucoma. Yet it has not been clearly demonstrated that IOP-lowering treatment can reduce the incidence of glaucoma damage in patients with ocular hypertension. The aim of the current paper was to report the results of a long-term study addressing this very problem.METHODS: W

'Women in Literature': This paper was presented at a Symposium on 'The Image of Woman in Literature' held in Malmö and Lund, March 8-10, 2002. The Symposium was chaired by Henry Diab and Jalil Haidar.

Today an increasingly large and diverse audience spends more and more time and money on computer games; the actual player can now be anyone. Gameplay, whether it is raiding online in World of Warcraft, an evening of Guitar Hero in the living room with friends, or a quick round of Sudoku Master on the Nintendo DS while commuting home from work, has become part of the everyday life of millions of pe

Purpose – In the recent redefinition of the European Commission's corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategy, attention is brought to CSR as a motor for innovation. However, literature in the area remains scarce. This chapter describes and discusses innovation as a consequence of a firm's CSR activities. Methodology/approach – The empirical part of the chapter is based on the content analysis

We formulate and solve a control problem where data are sent over a communication network that introduces random time delays. Past time delays are assumed known by the use of timestamps and the probability distribution of future delays are modeled with a Markov chain with continuous observation densities. We generalize previous results on LQG control of jump linear systems to cover this situation.

Föremål i etnografiska museer återspeglar på olika sätt människans naturrelationer. Även botaniska trädgårdar visar mänskliga artefakter, givetvis inte i samma mening som etnografiska föremål men ändå såsom en omvandling av naturprodukter. En sådan omvandling kan t.ex. ske via domesticering eller genom att man använder vissa delar av vilda växter som mediciner. En växt blir till medicin via mänskl

This paper describes a general picture of efforts to provide women with equal opportunity both on a national political level, and within academia. A report of recent activities within the newly formed National Division for Women in Physics within the Swedish Physical Society is also given

The purpose of this paper is to present some recent advances in the study of water waves with vorticity and surface tension. These are periodic, two-dimensional waves over a flat bottom and the surface profiles are symmetric and monotone between crest and trough. The proofs rely on bifurcation theory.
