13. Proton percolation on hydrated lysozyme powders
The framework of percolation theory is used to analyze the hydration dependence of the capacitance measured for protein samples of pH 3-10, at frequencies from 10 kHz to 4 MHz. For all samples there is a critical value of the hydration at which the capacitance sharply increases with increase in hydration level. The threshold hc = 0.15 g of water per g of pro

14. Percolation and criticality in a mitochondrial network
Synchronization of mitochondrial function is an important determinant of cell physiology and survival, yet little is known about the mechanism of interorganellar communication. We have recently observed that coordinated cell-wide oscillations in the mitochondrial energy state of heart cells can be induced by a highly localized perturbation of a few elements

15. Two-dimensional protonic percolation on lightly hydrated purple membrane
The capacitance and dielectric loss factor were measured for a sample of purple membrane of Halobacterium halobium as a function of hydration level (0.017 to >0.2 g of water/g of membrane) and frequency (10 kHz to 10 MHz). The capacitance and the derived conductivity show explosive growth above a threshold hydration level, hc ≈ 0.0456. The conductivity sho

16. Critical transport properties of random metals in large magnetic fields
The threshold behavior of the transport properties of a random metal in the critical region near a metal–insulator transition is strongly affected by the measuring electromagnetic fields. In spite of the randomness, the electrical conductivity exhibits striking phase-coherent effects due to broken symmetry, which greatly sharpen the transition compared wit

17. A simple model of global cascades on random networks
The origin of large but rare cascades that are triggered by small initial shocks is a phenomenon that manifests itself as diversely as cultural fads, collective action, the diffusion of norms and innovations, and cascading failures in infrastructure and organizational networks. This paper presents a possible explanation of this phenomenon in terms of a spars

18. Solventless photocurable film coating: Evaluation of drug release, mechanical strength, and photostability
A new solventless photocurable film-coating system was investigated in which nonpareil beads were coated in a minicoating pan with liquid prepolymer (L) and powdered solid pore-forming agents (S) and cured by UV light. Release from the coating could by altered by changing the material, the number of layers, and the coating thickness. Immediate release of a b
