We analyze critical phenomena on networks generated as the union of hidden variable models (networks with any desired degree sequence) with arbitrary graphs. The resulting networks are general small worlds similar to those a la Watts and Strogatz, but with a heterogeneous degree distribution. We prove that the critical behavior (thermal or percolative) remains completely unchanged by the presence of finite loop...

An experimental design was applied to improve the reaction conditions for enzymatic synthesis of ampicillin from phenylglycine methyl ester (PGME) and 6-aminopenicillanic acid (6-APA), catalyzed by penicillin G acylase from E. coli immobilized on an agarose-glyoxyl derivative. The presence and magnitude of interactions between reaction variables were estimated using a 2(5) factorial design. A batch reactor was ...
Crop salt damage consists, usually, of leaf burn and defoliation, and it is associated with accumulation of toxic levels of sodium and/or chloride in leaf cells (Storey and Walker, 1999). The cell and tissue culture are simple biological systems that offer a direct approach to the metabolic changes. The plant cell growth in a controlled environment, as a bioreactor, is a unique tool for cell ion transport studi...
This work presents a kinetic study of the side reactions of the ampicillin enzymatic synthesis, from phenylglycine methyl ester and 6-aminopenicillanic acid using penicillin G acylase immobilized on agarose. A Michaelis-Menten model with competitive inhibition was fitted to initial rates of ester and antibiotic hydrolysis, at pH 6.5 and 25ºC. Inherent kinetic parameters were estimated for low enzymatic loads, t...
The free form of the iron ion is one of the strongest oxidizing agents in the cellular environment. The effect of iron at different concentrations (0, 1, 5, 10, 50, and 100 µM Fe3+) on the normal human red blood cell (RBC) antioxidant system was evaluated in vitro by measuring total (GSH) and oxidized (GSSG) glutathione levels, and superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and reduct...
The authors first show that the movement of a domain wall in a highly anisotropic Ising model of spins in two dimensions can be mapped to a random walk movement of labelled walkers in one dimension. This movement is correlated in the sense that the transition probability of a given walker, labelled i, depends upon the current positions of its labelled neighbours (i-1 and i+1). A Monte Carlo simulation of the wa...
