The code is not new, and actually it was written several years ago, by myself. I am reading the code as I have a necessity to use it, but it is very difficult. There are several tricky parts for which I cannot remember the necessity. But they seem working, and if I remove those tricks, the results are funny, or the performance becomes poor&#8230; Apparently, I was clever. But I cannot understand what I embedded in. Well, I have to read the entire code (which is rather large) and understand all the staffs implemented in. There is no short-cut. Code development is always with such a winding manner, even though I put some short notes in the code&#8230; Indeed, the notes are puzzling&#8230; I am sure that I was somewhat mad when I coded it.<\/p>\n<p>The rheological topic this time is the mayonnaise effect. Let us start from the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jones_Dole_equation\">Jones-Dole equation<\/a><br \/>\n which is an empirical equation describing the relation between viscosity of solutions and the solute concentration. (Of course we could start from the famous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/145970a0\">Einstein&#8217;s relation for viscosity<\/a>.) Nevertheless, the equation describes the experimental results well, given that the solute concentration is roughly less than 1 mol\/L. But for higher concentration it does not work well; the viscosity rapidly increases with increasing solute concentration much more than the equation. The recent paper from UK proposes a convincing explanation, in which the dramatic increase of viscosity can be attributable to structural development of solutes. The researcher calls the effect &#8216;The Mayonnaise Effect&#8217; owing to the fact that there is cell-like structures in mayo, as well-known for rheologists. <\/p>\n<p>Very interesting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In these days, I am st [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1948,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,19],"tags":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rheology.jp\/nagoya\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/85e6223d8409273635356cad04221621_s.jpg?fit=640%2C480&ssl=1","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rheology.jp\/nagoya\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1947"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rheology.jp\/nagoya\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rheology.jp\/nagoya\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rheology.jp\/nagoya\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rheology.jp\/nagoya\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1947"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/rheology.jp\/nagoya\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1947\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1949,"href":"https:\/\/rheology.jp\/nagoya\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1947\/revisions\/1949"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rheology.jp\/nagoya\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1948"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rheology.jp\/nagoya\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1947"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rheology.jp\/nagoya\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1947"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rheology.jp\/nagoya\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1947"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
