Membrane microdomains emergence through non-homogeneous diffusion
UNLABELLED BACKGROUND In the classical view, cell membrane proteins undergo isotropic random motion, that is a 2D Brownian diffusion that should result in an homogeneous distribution of concentration. It is, however, far from the reality: Membrane proteins can assemble into so-called microdomains (sometimes called lipid rafts) which also display a specific lipid composition. We propose a sim...
متن کاملNon-Neutral Vegetation Dynamics
The neutral theory of biodiversity constitutes a reference null hypothesis for the interpretation of ecosystem dynamics and produces relatively simple analytical descriptions of basic system properties, which can be easily compared to observations. On the contrary, investigations in non-neutral dynamics have in the past been limited by the complexity arising from heterogeneous demographic behav...
متن کاملNon-neutral theory of biodiversity
We present a non-neutral stochastic model for the dynamics taking place in a metacommunity ecosystems in presence of migration. The model provides a framework for describing the emergence of multiple ecological scenarios and behaves in two extreme limits either as the unified neutral theory of biodiversity or as the Bak-Sneppen model. Interestingly, the model shows a condensation phase transiti...
متن کاملContinuum electrostatics for ionic solutions with non-uniform ionic sizes
This work concerns electrostatic properties of an ionic solution with multiple ionic species of possibly different ionic sizes. Such properties are described by the minimization of an electrostatic free-energy functional of ionic concentrations. Bounds are obtained for ionic concentrations with low electrostatic free energies. Such bounds are used to show that there exists a unique set of equil...
متن کاملWorkshop on Non - neutral Plasmas ∗
A summary of the Workshop on Non-neutral Plasmas, held in Boulder, Colorado, on July 29 through August 1, 1997, is given. This workshop provided an opportunity for the exchange of results and scientific information among the diverse areas of plasma physics, atomic physics, and chemistry, which use non-neutral plasmas.
