Confined Flow of Attractive Colloidal Suspensions
Attractive particulate fluids flowing through complex confined geometries are frequently used in technological applications. While the flow properties of hard-sphere suspensions in micro-scale geometries have been studied extensively, the effects of interparticle attractions and particle size …

Playing Devil's Advocate: The Attractive Shakespearean Villain
… two questions. First, what makes these villains attractive to their readers and viewers? Why do they produce such a strongly ambivalent response from their audiences--how do they manage to simultaneously repel and attract us? More importantly, however, the thesis speculates on Shakespeare's …

Communal pairing in Fermi gases with attractive interactions
Weak attractive interactions in a spin-balanced fermion gas are known to induce a Cooper pairing instability where the fermion pairs have zero net momentum, leading to BCS superconductivity. Extensions for spin-imbalanced systems include breached superfluids, Fulde–Ferrell–Larkin–Ovchinnikov …

Rheology of concentrated protein solutions and attractive colloidal dispersions
… of biopharmaceuticals. In general, viscosity of attractive colloidal dispersions increases with their concentration and attraction strength, and diverges at the gel point. In this thesis, we investigate the mechanism of enhanced viscosity of concentrated protein solutions and colloidal …

Are post-treatment orthognathic patients attractive? A three-dimensional study
… services; it is their idea of facial attractiveness that ultimately is more relevant as a treatment goal than pre-determined measurements and standards developed by the clinicians. The standards for facial attractiveness of a given population tend to reflect the arbitrary standards of …

Attractive electrostatic self-assembly of ordered and disordered heterogeneous colloids
… ordered colloidal structures stabilized by attractive electrostatic interactions. These crystals are colloidal analogues to ionic materials including zincblende, rocksalt, cesium chloride, and fluorite. A thermodynamic study revealed that the screening ratio, charge ratio, and monodispersity …

An efficient and computationally attractive localization algorithm under large equal radius scenario
A wide variety of applications have been developed based on source localization in areas like sonar, radar, global positioning system (GPS), wireless sensor networks, emergency response and human-computer interactions. Accurate source localization has gained much research interest in recent years, …

Particle manipulation by attractive and repulsive forces in 2-D streaming flows
… that are not density matched may experience attractive forces which may cause them to be attracted toward the surface of the interface. We can modify the previous experiments by lowering the strength of the streaming flow which allows for a relatively larger variety of particle trajectories. …

Cell model of a fluid with hard-core repulsive long-range attractive potential
"A model of a one-dimensional fluid is investigated in which the praticles [sic] are embedded in a cellular space grid and interact with a modified Lennart-Jones potential. It is shown that with an appropriate change in the potential function the model is also suitable for a two- or …

Attractive silences in cricket courtship song : mate choice using a short-range signal /
Matings systems using signals for sexual communication have been studied extensively and results commonly suggest that females use these signals for locating males, species-identification, and mate choice. Although numerous mating systems employ multiple signals, research has generally focused on …

Improved selection of technically attractive projects using knowledge management and net interactive tools
Conventional technology forecasting and selection practices, in the Western World, suffer from several shortcomings including: weak criteria for developing and evaluating forecasts, limited tool sets for developing possible future states of implementation, anchoring in current functional capability …

Phase Diagram of a Driven Lattice Gas of Two Species with Attractive Interactions
We study the phase diagram of an interacting lattice gas of two species of particles and holes, driven out of equilibrium by a local hopping bias (denoted by `E'). Particles interact by excluded volume and nearest-neighbor attractions. We present a detailed Monte Carlo investigation of the phase …

Moth pollination, low seed set, and vestigialization of attractive floral traits in Abronia umbellata (Nyctaginaceae)
… used by herbivores. We examined the reduction of attractive visual and olfactory floral traits in A. umbellata across a shift from outcrossing to selfing and found a reduction of all floral traits considered. We found that floral volatile emissions were reduced more strongly than flower size or …
