MODELLING POLYMERS AS COMPRESSIBLE ELASTIC SPHERES IN COUETTE FLOW

Modelling Polymers as Compressible Elastic Spheres in Couette Flow

A model of polymer chains as compressible elastic spheres in flow is presented.The spherical polymer blobs are assumed Entertainment Centers to compress in simple Couette flow in accord with recent rheo-optic measurements on semi-dilute solutions.The experimentally determined decrease in radius with increasing shear rate is predicted by the model.F

Identifying functional network changing patterns in individuals at clinical high-risk for psychosis and patients with early illness schizophrenia: A group ICA study

Although individuals at clinical high risk (CHR) for psychosis exhibit a psychosis-risk syndrome involving attenuated forms of the positive symptoms typical of schizophrenia (SZ), it remains unclear whether their resting-state brain intrinsic functional networks (INs) show attenuated or qualitatively distinct patterns of functional dysconnectivity
