The purpose of this study was to investigate whether juvenile sexual offenders use substances and engage in substance related criminality or if other forms of criminality (e.g. sexual or nonsexual crime) are associated with substance use. Three related quantitative articles were written to execute this project. The first article explored the prevalence of substance use and related crime among s...

We present a rigorous derivation of the Ericksen-Leslie equation starting from the Doi-Onsager equation. As in the fluid dynamic limit of the Boltzmann equation, we first make the Hilbert expansion for the solution of the Doi-Onsager equation. The existence of the Hilbert expansion is connected to an open question whether the energy of the EricksenLeslie equation is dissipated. We show that the...

II. Relaxation Time and the Deborah Number NB In what follows we use viscometric information from Note I ( Fluid Rheology). To determine the Deborah number for the axisymmetric contraction-expansion we need to select both a characteristic timescale for the flow and a representative measure of the spectrum of relaxation times of the fluid. A characteristic strain rate based on the local flow con...
