Polymer Infiltration Under Extreme Confinement
… raises important theoretical questions about confinement, capillarity, and polymer dynamics. Therefore, I use molecular dynamics simulations (MD) and continuum theory to understand the impact of confinement on infiltrating polymers. In Chapter 2, I observe that polymers will form porous …

SOCIAL DEPRIVATION AND SOLITARY CONFINEMENT
<p> Solitary confinement is one of the most enduring, severe, and restrictive prison practices that has been widely debated since its inception in the early 19th century. Across the United States, the development of supermaximum prison facilities and the use of solitary confinement have become …

The Colloidal Glass Transition Under Confinement
… of colloidal suspensions under different confinements near the glass transition. In three dimension (3D), we design a colloidal system, where particles are confined inside spherical cavities with an amorphous layer of particles pinned at the boundary. Using this novel system, we capture …

Nanomechanics of Glassy Polymers Under Confinement
… electrical, and optical properties. However, confinement of these materials introduces interfaces, which may drastically change fundamental properties of the material. For example, confinement of polymer glasses has shown to cause changes in the elastic modulus, which in turn may lead to …

Biological Confinement of Zebrafish Using RNAi
… viable gametes. The use of RNAi as a tool for bioconfinement relies on sterility among all individuals subjected to the shRNA bearing transgene. Based on the results obtained, the verdict is still unclear as to whether shRNA is a viable mechanism for large scale bioconfinement.

Enhancing Ballast Performance Using Geocell Confinement
… for lack of substructure integrity has been confinement, applied through a variety of reinforcement types, including geocell. To investigate the effectiveness of geocell confinement on ballasted substructure integrity, a series of embankment model tests with different configurations of …

Polymer and sphere diffusion in confinement
… superposition approximation even at very high confinement whereas polymer chains at high confinement can not be modeled by this far field approach. We find that the polymer chain dynamics at high confinement can be explained well by a blob model scaling.

Transport and Adsorption in Nanoscale Confinement
Nanoscale confinement can be defined as a space confined by interfaces with at least one nanometer-scale dimension. Objects under nanoscale confinement have a large ratio of interfacial area to volume that makes interfacial properties have significant impact. This dissertation examines three cases …

Magnetic micro-confinement of quantum degenerate gases
… the basic principles of the magnetic micro-confinement of the quantum degenerate gases where the approach of the so-called two-dimensional magnetic lattices has been theoretically and experimentally investigated. In this research a new generation of two-dimensional magnetic lattice has been …

Supermax Confinement: A Descriptive and Theoretical Inquiry
… is to examine the proliferation of supermax confinement as a major component of the punitive shift. This is done primarily through the application of contemporary literature that focuses on the sociology of punishment theory. Another purpose of this thesis was to examine and describe the …

Functional organic thin films under extreme confinement
… properties of thin film materials at ""extreme confinement"", i.e., at condition when the film thickness reduces below a critical value where one or more structural aspects such as molecular packing, orientation, conformation, as well as properties begin to deviate from bulk. So far, significant …

Rayleigh-Taylor mixing: confinement by stratification and geometry
Rayleigh-Taylor instability has been an area of active research in fluid dynamics for the last twenty years, but relatively little attention has been paid to the dynamics of problems where Rayleigh-Taylor instability plays a role, but is only one component of a more complex system. Here, …

Instability Studies on a Spherical Inertial Electrostatic Confinement
In order to evaluate the inertial electrostatic confinement concept, it is essential to develop a reliable and flexible instability analysis method for an equilibrium plasma in a potential well. Subsequently stability of this well can be studied. As a part of this study, methods are sought to avoid …

Confinement effects on multiexciton dynamics in semiconductor nanocrystals
Colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals are a promising platform for a number of technological developments in a wide variety of lighting applications. They also are an incredibly useful model system to interrogate fundamental carrier interactions in crystalline semiconductor lattices. This thesis …
