Depletion induced bundling of rod-like colloids and simulations of triple helix bundles
… depletion forces. In these simulations, we found bundling of the rods above a given strength of the depletion force. We then analyzed the bundle formation process and how the shape and flexibility of the rods could effect bundle formation. We then looked at preferential bundling of long or stiff …

Regulation of choice behavior : an experiment investigating the hypothesis that people bundle sequences of expected rewards
This thesis discusses reward bundling as a process that enables decision makers to self-regulate their choice behavior. Most empirical work on intertemporal choice has focused on analyzing impulsive choice. Less effort has been dedicated to explanations of how individuals manage to overcome …
