Self-sorting of deformable particles in a microfluidic circuit
… a new microfluidic device is presented for sorting of deformable particles based on the hydrodynamic resistance induced in a microchannel. Hydrodynamic resistance can be related to physical properties, including size and deformability of the particle, and can also be influenced by …

Using laboratory experiments to study otherwise unobservable labor market interactions
… In order to disentangle incentive and self-sorting effects, our experiment forces all workers to initially complete real-effort tasks paid by four given incentives respectively, and then use compensating differentials to elicit their preferences for different incentives. Therefore, …

Self-Assemblies Driven by the Hydrophobic Effect
… Second, we examined the guest-controlled self-sorting in assemblies. A mixture of OA and TEMOA formed hetero-capsular complex driven by the hydrophobic effect. The extent of homo- or hetero-dimerization is intimately tied to the size of the guest being encapsulated. TEMOA is less …

Creating and Interpreting a Cultural Landscape on Twitter to Understand People and Audiences
… find that evidence that these influential users self-sort and audience members sort them along dimensions of identity. Race, political orientation, and religion are the most salient dimensions for separation, while state geography, gender, and nationality are less important. We also compare …

Effects of shape, conformation, and symmetry on macrocycle synthesis via alkyne metathesis
… systematic modulation of these structures for self-assembly into functional organic materials. However, most synthetic methods rely on kinetically controlled reactions that often afford complex mixtures and low yields of a desired macrocycle. Dynamic covalent chemistry (DCC), specifically …

Biofunctionalised Coordination Cages and Quantified Speciation in Supramolecular Mixtures
Coordination cages formed by supramolecular self-assembly are excellent candidates for the selective encapsulation of molecules and sheltering these guests from their environment after uptake. The easily tuneable nature of these 3D-structures can make them versatile carriers in applications such as …

Synthesis of Higher Homologues of Cucurbituril Derivatives and Evaluation of their Supramolecular Properties
… applications, including drug delivery, complex self-sorting systems, chemical sensors, environmental protection and supramolecular catalysis. However, compared with other host molecules, such as crown ethers, cyclodextrins and calixarenes, its further development has been limited by the …

Aqueous Self-Assembly with Cucurbit[n]urils: From Solution to Emulsion
… as they have been used as templates for self-assembly processes throughout this thesis. A study into the synthesis of extended polymer networks composed entirely from small molecules held together by non-covalent interactions is described in Chapter 2. These highly dynamic and responsive …
