Rheological Method for Determining Molecular Weight and Molecular Weight Distribution

Understanding the viscoelastic behavior of collagen matrices through relaxation time distribution spectrum

This study aims to provide understanding of the macroscopic viscoelastic behavior of collagen matrices through studying the relaxation time distribution spectrum obtained from stress relaxation tests. Hydrated collagen gel and dehydrated collagen thin film was exploited as two different hydration levels of collagen matrices. Genipin solution was used to induce crosslinking in collagen matrices....

The molecular-weight distribution of glycosaminoglycans.

1. A rapid and sensitive method for the accurate estimation of the molecular-weight distribution of keratan sulphate and chondroitin sulphate isolated from adult bovine nasal septum and intervertebral disc is described. The method utilizes gel chromatography of reductively labelled glycosaminoglycan and end-group estimation of number-average molecular weight for each fraction across the peak of...

Activity spectrum from waiting-time distribution

In high frequency financial data not only returns but also waiting times between trades are random variables. In this work, we analyze the spectra of the waiting-time processes for tick-by-tick trades. The numerical problem, strictly related with the real inversion of Laplace transforms, is analyzed by using Tikhonov’s regularization method. We also analyze these spectra by a rough method using...

Tailoring relaxation time spectrum in soft glassy materials.

Physical properties of out of equilibrium soft materials depend on time as well as deformation history. In this work we propose to transform this major shortcoming into gain by applying controlled deformation field to tailor the rheological properties. We take advantage of the fact that deformation field of a certain magnitude can prevent particles in an aging soft glassy material from occupyin...
