Spatial Segregation in Demography: A Short Review
Abstract. Spatial has always been an inherent component of demography, and demographic processes are inherently spatiotemporal. Recognizing the importance of spatial in general and spatial segregation in particular in demographic analysis has created new positions in demography and its conceptual and analytical frameworks. The notion of spatial segregation refers to the distribution of social...
متن کاملConformations of high-generation dendritic polyelectrolytes†
We perform monomer-resolved computer simulations of high-generation dendritic molecules, varying the amount of charge and the spacer length between subsequent generations. Charged entities (monomers and counterions) are simulated with the explicit Coulomb interaction, employing the Ewald summation technique. We discover considerable stretching of the molecules with increasing generation number ...
متن کاملCounterions release from electrostatic complexes of polyelectrolytes and proteins of opposite charge: a direct measurement.
Though often considered as one of the main driving process of the complexation of species of opposite charges, the release of counterions has never been experimentally directly measured. We present here the first structural determination of such a release by Small Angle Neutron Scattering in complexes made of lysozyme, a positively charged protein and of PSS, a negatively charged polyelectrolyt...
متن کاملComplexes Comprised of Charged Dendrimers, Linear Polyelectrolytes, and Counterions: Insight through Coarse-Grained Molecular Dynamics Simulations
Given the exceptional potential of dendrimer macromolecules for numerous biomedical applications, we performed extensive coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the role of electrostatic interactions in complexes comprised of cationic dendrimers with oppositely charged linear polyelectrolytes. For this purpose, we varied the nature of polyelectrolytes by considering both mo...
