The mixing time of the giant component of a random graph

We show that the total variation mixing time of the simple random walk on the giant component of supercritical and is . This statement was proved, independently, by Fountoulakis and Reed. Our proof follows from a structure result for these graphs which is interesting in its own right. We show that these graphs are “decorated expanders” — an expander glued to graphs whose size has constant expectation and exponential tail, and such that each vertex in the expander is glued to no more than a constant number of decorations. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Phase Behavior of Bis(Quaternary Ammonium Bromide)/Sodium Cholate/H2O System

Interactions in an oppositely charged surfactant mixture composed of a gemini surfactant (bis(quaternary ammonium bromide)) and a bile salt (sodium cholate) in water were studied at 30°C. A combination of techniques was used including surface tension, conductometry, light scattering, light microscopy, and microelectrophoretic measurements. A strong dependence of the phase behavior on the molar ratio and actual concentration of surfactants was found. The interplay between electrostatic effects, geometry of molecules, and dissimilar separation of the hydrophobic and hydrophilic moieties in the surfactants dictate the interaction mode and the microstructures formed. Instead of precipitation, in the equivalent mixtures formation of complexes, mixed micelles, vesicles, coacervates, and solid crystalline phases have been observed. The extent of interacting forces in mixed micelles formed in equivalent mixtures was evaluated by regular solution theory. A relatively high negative value of interaction parameter indicated a strong attractive interaction between surfactants. The compositions of both mixed micelles and mixed monolayer are found to be almost equimolar.

Simultaneous observation of positive and negative giant magnetoresistances in composite (La0.83Sr0.17MnO3)1－x(ITO)x

We have studied the transport property of the composites （La0.83Sr0.17 MnO3）1-x（ITO）x [ITO=（In2O3）0.95 （SNO2）0.05], which were fabricated by mechanically mixing La0.83Sr0.17MnO3 and ITO grains. A giant positive magnetoresistance （PMR） has been observed above the Curie temperature Tc for samples with x around 0.40, in addition to the negative magnetoresistanee related to spin-dependent interracial tunnelling below To. For （La0.83Sr0.17MnO3）0.6（ITO）0.4, the magnetoresistive ratio for the PMR can reach 39.3% under a magnetic field H=2.24×10^5A/m. Theoretical analysis suggests that the magnetic-field-induced broadening of the p-n barrier between both kinds of grains and the density of the p-n heterostructures should be responsible for the PMR behaviour.

Visualization and Quantification of Transmembrane Ion Transport into Giant Unilamellar Vesicles

Transmembrane ion transporters (ionophores) are widely investigated as supramolecular agents with potential for biological activity. Tests are usually performed in synthetic membranes that are assembled into large unilamellar vesicles (LUVs). However transport must be followed through bulk properties of the vesicle suspension, because LUVs are too small for individual study. An alternative approach is described whereby ion transport can be revealed and quantified through direct observation. The method employs giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs), which are 20–60 μm in diameter and readily imaged by light microscopy. This allows characterization of individual GUVs containing transporter molecules, followed by studies of transport through fluorescence emission from encapsulated indicators. The method provides new levels of certainty and relevance, given that the GUVs are similar in size to living cells. It has been demonstrated using a highly active anion carrier, and should aid the development of compounds for treating channelopathies such as cystic fibrosis.
