Three-phase intersection points in monolayers
Some phospholipid/dihydrocholesterol Langmuir monolayers form coexisting liquid phases. Gas domains form at the interface between the phospholipid-rich and dihydrocholesterol-rich liquid phases when these monolayers undergo expansion to low surface pressure. Analysis of the domain shapes thus formed yields the relative line tensions of the gas/phospholipid, gas/dihydrocholesterol, and phospholi...
متن کاملOn Finding Ordinary Intersection Points∗
An algorithm is demonstrated that finds an ordinary intersection in an arrangement of n lines in R, not all parallel and not all passing through a common point, in time O(n logn). The algorithm is then extended to find an ordinary intersection among an arrangement of hyperplanes in R, no d passing through a line and not all passing through the same point, again, in time O(n logn). Two additiona...
متن کاملChapter 8 : Distinct intersection points
Claim 1.1. Let L be a set of n lines in R. Then there exists a nontrivial polynomial f ∈ R[x1, x2, x3] of degree smaller than 3 √ n that vanishes on all the lines of L. Proof. Let P be a set of at most 4n points, that is obtained by arbitrarily choosing 4 √ n points from every line of L. Since ( 3 √ n+3 3 ) > 4n, by Lemma 2.1 of Chapter 5 there exists a nontrivial polynomial f ∈ R[x1, x2, x3] o...
متن کاملPhase Transitions in Dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine Monolayers.
A self-assembled phospholipid monolayer at an air-water interface is a well-defined model system for studying surface thermodynamics, membrane biophysics, thin-film materials, and colloidal soft matter. Here we report a study of two-dimensional phase transitions in the dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) monolayer at the air-water interface using a newly developed methodology called constrain...
متن کاملConstructing Points through Folding and Intersection
Fix an n ≥ 3. Consider the following two operations: given a line with a specified point on the line we can construct a new line through the point which forms an angle with the new line which is a multiple of π/n (folding); and given two lines we can construct the point where they cross (intersection). Starting with the line y = 0 and the points (0, 0) and (1, 0) we determine which points in th...
