On the sufficiency of pairwise interactions in maximum entropy models of biological networks
Lina Merchan, Ilya Nemenman
Biological information processing networks consist of many components, which are coupled by an even larger number of complex multivariate interactions. However, analyses of data se…
Large number of receptors may reduce cellular response time variation
Xiang Cheng, Lina Merchan, Martin Tchernookov +1
Cells often have tens of thousands of receptors, even though only a few activated receptors can trigger full cellular responses. Reasons for the overabundance of receptors remain u…
Confined Coulomb systems with absorbing boundaries: the two-dimensional two-component plasma
Lina Merchan, Gabriel Tellez
Using a solvable model, the two-dimensional two-component plasma, we study a Coulomb gas confined in a disk and in an annulus with boundaries that can adsorb some of the negative p…
Solvable model for electrolytic soap films: the two-dimensional two-component plasma
Gabriel Tellez, Lina Merchan
We study a toy model for electrolytic soap films, the two-dimensional two-component plasma. This model is exactly solvable for a special value of the coulombic coupling constant $β…
