Slide ring gels, developed from molecularly threaded polymer chains, have been getting increased attention for their unique modes of relaxation and toughness in the past ten years. While methods synthesis become more sophisticated efficient, theory has not kept up with experiments, there exist many unexplained observations. In this paper, we develop a continuum-level model slide gels based on t...

Abstract The contribution at hand focuses on the introduction of a novel approach to model biological growth. proposed formulations are chosen represent plant like structures. Therefore, thermomechanically open systems considered. balance laws presented for such systems. Furthermore, coupled with an adaptive meshing framework. so-called structural generator is and utilized in this work. Since n...

A generalization of the AdS/CFT conjecture postulates a duality between IIA string theory and 16 supercharge Yang-Mills quantum mechanics in the large N ’t Hooft limit. At low temperatures string theory describes black holes, whose thermodynamics may hence be studied using the dual quantum mechanics. This quantum mechanics is strongly coupled which motivates the use of lattice techniques. We ar...
