We have carried out experiments to probe the static and dynamic interfacial properties of $\beta$--casein monolayers spread at the air-buffer interface, and analysed these results in the context of models of weak polyampholytes.…
The thickness $\theta(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of planar spanning subgraphs into which the graph $G$ can be decomposed. As a topological invariant of a graph, it is a measurement of the closeness to planarity of a graph, and…
