A thorough understanding of crystallization kinetics for rapid polymer solidification during the fiber spinning process is a route to maximizing fiber properties while increasing production speeds. We are using theoretical, computational, and experimental models to characterize the crystallization process at the molecular, microscopic, and macroscopic levels. Polymer dependent molecular descrip...

Monotrichous bacteria on surfaces exhibit complex spinning movements. Such spinning motility is often a part of the surface detachment launch sequence of these cells. To understand the impact of spinning motility on bacterial surface interactions, we develop a hydrodynamic model of a surface-bound bacterium, which reproduces behaviours that we observe in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Shewanella oneid...

A slender 1{D model for laments of liquid crystalline polymers (LCPs) is applied to simulate isothermal ber spinning of materials with internal orientation. The model and predictions focus on the hydrodynamic{orientation interactions in spinning ows, isolated from other signi cant spinline e ects of temperature, crystallization and phase changes. An important practical feature of the model is t...

background: although stabilization ponds and lagoons are suitable treatment processes due to simplicity of operation and low per capital costs, the effluents of these systems have too high of a total suspended solids concentration to be discharged into receiving waters. this problem is mainly caused by algae. in this study, an electro-coagulation reactor was examined to re­move algae from the f...

we explore electro-catalytic properties of a system consisting of platinum and palladium nanoparticles dispersed over a nanotubular self-organized tio2 matrix. these electrodes prepared by electroess and microemulsion of palladium and palladium nanoparticles on to tio2 nanotubes, respectively. titanium oxide nanotubes were fabricated by anodizing titanium foil in ethylene glycol (eg) fluoride-c...

High-Resolution Magic-Angle Spinning (HR-MAS) NMR spectroscopy has become an extremely versatile analytical tool to study heterogeneous systems endowed with liquid-like dynamics. Spinning frequencies of several kHz are however required to obtain NMR spectra, devoid of spinning sidebands, with a resolution approaching that of purely isotropic liquid samples. An important limitation of the method...

General spinning brane bound states are constructed, along with their near-horizon limits which are relevant as dual descriptions of non-commutative field theories. For the spinning D-brane world volume theories with a B-field a general analysis of the gauge coupling phase structure is given, exhibiting various novel features, already at the level of zero angular momenta. We show that the therm...

The dynamical equations for a spinning top are derived in which the orientation is specified by a complex variable using stereographic projection of Poisson’s equations. Necessary and sufficient conditions for Lyapunov stability of the uncontrolled motion of the spinning top are derived using the Energy-Casimir method. Control laws that globally asymptotically stabilize the spinning top to the ...

We consider the anomalous dimension of a certain twist two operator in N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory. At strong coupling and large-N it is captured by the classical dynamics of a spinning D5-brane. The present calculation generalizes the result of Gubser, Klebanov and Polyakov (hep-th/0204051): in order to calculate the anomalous dimension of a bound state of k coincident strings, the spinning ...
