No full textSajjad Jaffer (\u2795) shares remarks on his experience as an international student from Tanzania. He explores his own journey towards finding a sense of belonging in Brunswick, Maine, worlds away from his life in eastern Africa. Jaffer speaks of the vast privilege that Bowdoin offered compared to his life at home, while also commenting on the difficulties of being a Muslim student and minority student on campus at the time. Jaffer shares the way that he continues to support Bowdoin students coming from African countries. “This is dedicated to the first American-born in my family- my daughter, Sophie Malaika Jaffer. Sophie recently started middle school as a 6th grader at Castilleja School in Palo Alto, CA. Castilleja has a tradition of picking a word as a theme for the academic year. For 2019-20, the theme is “Belonging”.

Nematic-isotropic phase transition in diblock fused-sphere chain fluids
No full textA density-functional theory for the isotropic-nematic phase transition in fluids of rigid or semiflexible fused hard-sphere chains, developed previously by the authors, is extended to diblock chains each consisting of both a rigid and a flexible part. The theory is compared with recent Monte Carlo simulation results of McBride The theoretical results for the variation of pressure and nematic order parameter with density agree well with the simulation data over density ranges where the simulations find isotropic and nematic phases.PT: J; CR: BOUBLIK T, 1974, MOL PHYS, V27, P1415 BOUBLIK T, 1975, J CHEM PHYS, V63, P4084 BOUBLIK T, 1981, MOL PHYS, V44, P1369 BOUBLIK T, 1989, MOL PHYS, V68, P191 COTTER MA, 1977, J CHEM PHYS, V66, P1098 COTTER MA, 1978, PHYS REV A, V18, P2669 FORSMAN J, 2003, J CHEM PHYS, V119, P1889 FYNEWEVER H, 1998, J CHEM PHYS, V108, P1636 HONNELL KG, 1989, J CHEM PHYS, V90, P1841 JAFFER KM, 1999, J CHEM PHYS, V110, P11630 JAFFER KM, 2001, J CHEM PHYS, V114, P3314 KHOKHLOV AR, 1981, PHYSICA A, V108, P546 KHOKHLOV AR, 1982, PHYSICA A, V112, P605 MCBRIDE C, 2001, PHYS REV E 1, V64 MCBRIDE C, 2002, J CHEM PHYS, V117, P10370 MEHTA SD, 1996, J PHYS CHEM-US, V100, P10408 MULLER M, 2003, J CHEM PHYS, V118, P2929 SATO T, 1996, ADV POLYM SCI, V126, P85 TIAN P, 2001, J CHEM PHYS, V115, P9055 VARGA S, 2000, MOL PHYS, V98, P693 VEGA C, 1994, J CHEM PHYS, V100, P6727 WERTHEIM MS, 1987, J CHEM PHYS, V87, P7323 WHITTLE M, 1991, MOL PHYS, V72, P247 WILLIAMSON DC, 1995, MOL PHYS, V86, P819 WILLIAMSON DC, 1998, J CHEM PHYS, V108, P10294 YETHIRAJ A, 1998, MOL PHYS, V93, P693 ZHOU YQ, 1995, J CHEM PHYS, V103, P2688; NR: 27; TC: 3; J9: PHYS REV E; PN: Part 1; PG: 4; GA: 835RHSource type: Electronic(1
