Self Dilution of Model Polystyrene Pom‐Poms and Combs by Unentangled Side Arms
Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.This study uses experimental rheological data of 4 model polystyrene pom‐poms and 2 model polystyrene combs, all with unentangled arms, and constitutive modelling using Enhanced Relaxation of Stretch (ERS) model to show that the elongational rheology of the branched polymers is equivalent to that of polymer melts consisting of long linear chains ...

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.Abstract Background Bilateral globus pallidus internus deep brain stimulation (GPi‐DBS) is a proven safe and effective treatment in certain forms of idiopathic or inherited dystonia (ID/IN). Its effects in acquired dystonia such as in dyskinetic cerebral palsy (DCP) however vary widely.

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Fractal fluctuations are a core concept for inquiries into human behavior and cognition from a dynamic systems perspective. Here, we present a generalized variance method for multivariate detrended fluctuation analysis (mvDFA). The advantage of this extension is that it can be applied to multivariate time series and considers intercorrelation ...

The Exponentiated Half-Logistic Family of Distributions: Properties and Applications
Journal of Probability and Statistics, 2014 We study some mathematical properties of a new generator of continuous distributions with two extra parameters called the exponentiated half-logistic family. We present some special models.

An alternative functional form for estimating the Lorenz Curve [PDF]
, 2008 We propose a simple single parameter functional form for the Lorenz curve. The underlying probability density function and cumulative density functions for the Lorenz curve are derived and are shown to have some useful properties. The proposed functional

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.Effect of processing‐induced thermal degradation on the mechanical performance of thermoplastic flax fiber composites. ABSTRACT The drawback of biobased polymer matrix composites (PMCs) is their limited temperature stability, resulting from degradation, which restricts their processability in established composite manufacturing processes requiring ...
