Abstract: Nematic liquid crystal elastomers (N-LCE) exhibit intriguing mechanical properties, such as reversible actuation and soft elasticity, which manifests as a wide plateau of low nearly-constant stress upon stretching....
The no impeachment rule bars the admission into evidence of juror testimony regarding jury deliberations in proceedings questioning the validity of a verdict. In Pena-Rodriguez v. Colorado (2017), the U.S. Supreme Court created...

A flat sheet programmed with a planar pattern of spontaneous shape change will morph into a curved surface. Such metric mechanics is seen in growing biological sheets, and may be engineered in actuating soft matter sheets such...
Abstract: Liquid crystalline elastomers (LCE) undergo reversible shape changes in response to stimuli, which enables a wide range of smart applications, in soft robotics, adhesive systems or biomedical medical devices. In this...

Active fabrics, responding autonomously to environmental changes, are the "Holy Grail" of the development of smart textiles. Liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) promise to be the base materials for large-stroke reversible...

Winthrop University's Department of Theatre and Dance will present "Marisol" Feb. 15-19 in Johnson Theatre. In conjunction with the production, the Department of Theatre and Dance will host a guest lecture by Dr. Isel Rodriguez...
Abstract: Nematic liquid crystal elastomers (LCE) exhibit unique mechanical properties, placing them in a category distinct from other viscoelastic systems. One of their most celebrated properties is the ‘soft elasticity’...
This makes the eighth straight year that Winthrop's team has taken first place at regionals. Team members are Deja Frederick, a senior integrated marketing communication major; Kayla Dugger, a junior digital information design...
Abstract: Liquid crystalline elastomers (LCEs) have been considered one of the most promising material concepts for artificial muscles. However, accomplishing actuation of LCEs requires macroscopic alignment of the...
Research has found that women in politics are important for representation and women's rights, but can women's increasing involvement in politics also stabilize fragile democracies? This research analyzes the relationship...
As the primary macrophage of the central nervous system, microglia play a significant role in the immune response of the brain. Studying microglia dysfunction is important for understanding neurodegenerative disease pathology...
Many democracies have recently experienced episodes of democratic backsliding. This project aims to determine how the inclusion of women in politics might prevent democratic backsliding. Quantitatively, we describe the...
George Sand and Rachilde, two important French female writers of the 19th c, discuss androgynous characters and borderline homosexual relationships in their works. They are part of a larger literary trend obsessed with liminal...
Chemical biology, a terminology coined early on in the mid-1940s in acorrespondence from George Beadle to Linus Pauling, has been laterdefined as ‘work in chemistry which is of biological interestdand to thatwork in biology in...
UNLABELLED: Approximately half of the world's displaced population are children and a significant proportion of these are unaccompanied asylum-seeking children (UASC). UASC are the most vulnerable of all refugee populations. Up...
The first catalytic enantioselective pinacol rearrangement was reported by Antilla and co-workers in 2010. The reaction was catalyzed by a chiral phosphoric acid and resulted in high levels of enantioselectivity (up to 96% ee)....
This paper introduces the joint problem of locating hubs on a network and determining transportation prices between the hubs. Two levels of decision makers are present in the problem acting non-cooperatively: hub transportation...
