Brownian beads

چکیده
We show that the past and future of half-plane Brownian motion at certain cutpoints are independent of each other after a conformal transformation. Like in Itô’s excursion theory, the pieces between cutpoints form a Poisson process with respect to a local time. The size of the path as a function of this local time is a stable subordinator whose index is given by the exponent of the probability that a stretch of the path has no cutpoint. The index is computed and equals 1/2.

Abstract By means of the Brownian dynamics (BD) method of simulations we have developed, we study dynamics of individual DNA undergoing constant field gel electrophoresis (CFGE), focusing on the relevance of the ‘defect’ concept due to de Gennes in CFGE. The corresponding embodiment, which we call slack beads (s-beads) is explicitly introduced in our BD model. In equilibrium under a vanishing f...
متن کاملSystematic Analysis for Ultra-fast Single-Particle Tracking in Live Cells
Single-particle tracking at high speeds becomes very convoluted, particularly in biological systems. However, the technique is crucial to understanding processes like the diffusion of proteins in a cell membrane. Therefore, in order to study this motion at very high speeds, a system must be developed with very high sensitivity even as it probes the microsecond time frame. To achieve the needed ...
متن کاملMeasurement of the instantaneous velocity of a Brownian particle.
Brownian motion of particles affects many branches of science. We report on the Brownian motion of micrometer-sized beads of glass held in air by an optical tweezer, over a wide range of pressures, and we measured the instantaneous velocity of a Brownian particle. Our results provide direct verification of the energy equipartition theorem for a Brownian particle. For short times, the ballistic ...
متن کاملBrownian Dynamics Studies on DNA Gel Electrophoresis. I. Numerical Method and Quasi-Periodic Behavior of Elongation-Contraction Motions
Dynamics of individual DNA undergoing constant field gel electrophoresis (CFGE) is studied by a Brownian dynamics (BD) simulation method which we have developed. The method simulates electrophoresis of DNA in a 3 dimensional (3D) space by a chain of electrolyte beads of hard spheres. Under the constraint that the separation of each pair of bonded beads is restricted to be less than a certain fi...
