Living in Leeds in Misc JoeUser Forums

I have just moved to Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, UK. It's much cooler than home with a weather that will keep you guessing. At least I have joined my family here and would be with them for a year! Research-wise, I had already started working on a project in June so it is pretty much on its way - hopefully! <!-- Ju-Anchor-Fo

Reply to It is Better to Burn Out Than to Fade Away. in Philosophy JoeUser Forums

It is common thought, that when you go, you go leaving a lagacy of what you have achieved, so that you could be remembered, by the world , country, town, company, friends or family.

Here the idea is to simulate a colloid near the Nematic-Isotropic (NI) Interface. I started off with a NI system with short ellipsoids kappa=5 and extended them to kappa=15. Problems: I loose the Nematic phase and it all becomes Isotropic Once that is done, I will introduce a colloid a distance D from the Interface, then proceed to run the simulation for dif

My Research at Warwick in Pure Technology JoeUser Forums

I set out to simulate a liquid crystal fluid using the Lebwohl-Lasher model in 3 dimensions. Then, I add the quadrupolar term to the interaction. Now, I am mapping the phase diagram of Order parameter (S) versus Temperature (T) for different Quadrupolar moments (Q) and box sizes (a*a*b) with a/b=1, 5 and 10. This would give me an idea of how the Nematic-Isotr

Our House in Home Improvement JoeUser Forums

We started building this house at the end of September 2003. The site was a plot of land we bought back in 1998. It took us about a year to sort out the plans, get a building permission and - of course - sort out the money. Since then, things have been slowly progressing towards completion, which we expect is around the end of September 2004. Pictures of our h
