Join us for lunch as we create space to share your experiences on campus, discuss current events, and connect with other students. Lunch will be provided. Feel free to bring your own lunch as well.Fostering an inclusive and welcoming community is at the heart of the Multicultural Student Services Center (MSSC) ‘s work. All events hosted by or in collaboration with the MSSC are open to the entire URI community. We are committed to making URI a place where everyone feels valued, included, and has a true sense of belonging. We look forward to welcoming you!Thursdays 12:30pm- 1:30pmDates:1/30, 2/13, 2/27, 3/27, 4/10,4/24Visit URInvolved for complete event details.

Isolating the Yield Stress in Tunable Thixotropic EmulsionsElnaz NikoumaneshAbstract:Soft materials are characterized by an intricate interplay of structure, dynamics, and rheological properties, which makes it challenging to accurately predict their response to shear stress. Here, we investigate how the nature of colloidal bonds – electrostatic attractions, physical entanglement, physical repulsive attraction, and covalent attractions –modify the yield stressand thixotropy. We investigate the critical role played by these structural bonds and their effect on linear and nonlinear deformations. Specifically, we apply our novel rheological approach – serial creep divergence (SCD) – to accurately determine the yield transition and critical stress and to reveal the physical mechanisms that underlie yielding. This comprehensive approachprovides a detailed comparison of how these materials respond to shear stress, ultimately advancing our understanding of the intricate interplay between

The Introduction to Unity webinar will explain how to get started using Unity, a high-performance computing cluster located at the Massachusetts Green High Performance Computing Center. While it is geared towards new users, effort will be made to adapt the webinar to the experience level of the attendees.Thu, Feb 6 1:00-2:00 PM Introduction to UnityThu, Feb 27 1:00-2:00 PM Introduction to UnityThu, Mar 20 1:00-2:00 PM Introduction to UnityThu, Apr 10 1:00-2:00 PM Introduction to Unity
