Temperature- and strain-dependent transient microstructure and rheological responses of endblock-associated triblock gels of different block lengths in a midblock selective solvent.

Endblock associative ABA gels in midblock selective solvents are attractive due to their easily tunable mechanical properties. Here, we present the effects of A- and B-block lengths on the rheological properties and microstructure of ABA gels by considering three low and one high polymer concentrations. The triblock polymer considered is poly(methyl methacrylate)-poly(-butyl acrylate)-poly(methyl methacrylate) [PMMA-PBA-PMMA] and the midblock solvent is 2-ethyl-1-hexanol.

Development and initial validation of a dog quality of life instrument.

The increasing attention for the dog-owner relationship combined with advances in nutrition and veterinary care have made wellbeing a focal point for dog owners, veterinarians, and dog product and service providers. While canine wellbeing can be quantified by survey-based quality of life instruments like those used in human healthcare, there are currently few instruments available that can do this reliably and at scale. Here we report the development and initial validation of a canine quality of life instrument specifically designed to quantify wellbeing in the general dog population.

Assessing the Relationship Between External Workloads and Noncontact Injuries During Summer Conditioning and Preseason Practice in National Collegiate Athletic Association Division 1 Football Players.

Assessing the relationship between external workloads and noncontact injuries during summer conditioning and preseason practice in National Collegiate Athletic Association Division 1 football players. J Strength Cond Res 37(4): 816-822, 2023-The purpose of this study was to prospectively investigate the relationship between noncontact injuries and workload in collegiate football during summer conditioning and preseason training.

Local and Global Stretching of Polymer Chains during Startup of Extensional Flow.

The nonlinear rheological response to extensional flows in entangled polymers is related to the segmental chain stretching and to the chemical identity of the monomeric units. The latter has a strong effect on the drag coefficients, and therefore, quantification of molecular conformation changes in the subnanometer scale (at the monomer level) are crucial to fully understand nonlinear viscoelastic behavior in polymer melts. We report in situ time-resolved extensional rheo-small-angle neutron scattering (tEr-SANS) and wide-angle X-ray scattering (tEr-WAXS) during startup of uniaxial flow on a monodisperse polystyrene melt.
