Mean-field theory of the Interaction of the Magnesium Ion with Biopolymers: The Case of Lysozyme
Theo Odijk
A statistical theory is presented of the magnesium ion interacting with lysozyme under conditions where the latter is positively charged. Temporarily assuming magnesium is not nonc…
Long-range Correlations in a Data Sequence Extracted Via Polymeric Compaction
Theo Odijk
A numerical method is proposed to remove the quenched randomness from a data sequence of numbers. A polymer chain of beads is introduced with both a hard core interaction and an ap…
A Quantitative Information Measure applied to Texture Perception Attributes during Mastication
Leen Sturtewagen, Harald van Mil, Marine Devezeaux de Lavergne +3
We have calculated a quantitative measure of information of experimentally determined temporal dominance of sensations (TDS) frequencies of texture attributes, for a set of diverse…
Material Line Fluctuations Slaved to Bulk Correlations in Two-Dimensional Turbulence
Theo Odijk
An analogy is pointed out between a polymer chain fluctuating in a two-dimensional nematic background and a freely floating material line buffeted by a two-dimensional turbulent fl…
A Tree Swaying in a Turbulent Wind: A Scaling Analysis
Theo Odijk
A tentative scaling theory is presented of a tree swaying in a turbulent wind. It is argued that the turbulence of the air within the crown is in the inertial regime. An eddy cause…
Longitudinal dispersion of DNA in nanochannels
Theo Odijk
A theory is presented of the longitudinal dispersion of DNA under equilibrium confined in a nanochannel. Orientational fluctuations of the DNA chain build up to give rise to substa…
