Osmotic force resisting chain insertion in a colloidal suspension.
We consider the problem of inserting a stiff chain into a colloidal suspension of particles that interact with it through excluded volume forces. The free energy of insertion is associated with the work of creating a cavity devoid of colloid and sufficiently large to accommodate the chain. The corresponding work per unit length is the force that resists the entry of the chain into the colloidal...
متن کاملColloidal osmotic pressure in chronic subdural hematoma.
The colloidal osmotic and hydrostatic pressure of chronic subdural hematomas were measured with a manometer in 35 patients. Manometric measurement showed an increase in the hematoma fluid cor responding to 5% of the total hematoma volume. The maximum colloidal osmotic pressure of the hematoma fluid, as measured with a transducer, was 23 ± 12 mmHg (mean ± standard deviation). Hemor...
متن کاملOsmotic pressure: resisting or promoting DNA ejection from phage?
Recent in vitro experiments have shown that DNA ejection from bacteriophage can be partially stopped by surrounding osmotic pressure when ejected DNA is digested by DNase I in the course of ejection. In this work, we argue by a combination of experimental techniques (osmotic suppression without DNase I monitored by UV absorbance, pulse-field electrophoresis, and cryo-transmission electron micro...
متن کاملTransient oscillations in Soret-driven convection in a colloidal suspension.
We present measurements of the transient stage of Soret-driven convective instability. The sample is a diluted colloidal suspension of silica spheres in water with an unusually large negative Soret coefficient S(T). A large temperature gradient (heating from above) is rapidly applied over the sample, while a shadowgraph imaging technique provides images of the convective flow. From the processi...
متن کاملSmectic Phase in a Colloidal Suspension of Semiflexible Virus Particles
Aqueous suspensions of micron-length, charged, semiflexible fd virus particles are studied experimentally in order to explore properties of the cholesteric-smectic phase transition in a system approximating flexible, hard rods. Through comparison of this system with (1) computer simulations of hard, rigid rods, (2) experiments on tobacco mosaic virus, a rigid, charged virus, and on pf1, a flexi...
