The phase separation in the blends of poly(methyl methacrylate) and liquid-crystalline polymer (copolymer of ethylene terephthalate and p-hydroxybenzoic acid) has been studied by the light scattering method and the cloud point curves have been obtained. Simultaneously some morphological features of the blends have been observed. It was found that the initial blends are in the state of forced compatibility and that thermally induced phase separation occurs by the mechanism of spinodal decomposition but presumably in the non-linear regime.

The beam scattering method was used to investigate non-dissociative single-electron charge transfer between the molecular dication CO22+ and Ar or Ne at several collision energies between 3-10 eV (centre-of-mass, c.m.). Relative translational energy distributions of the product ions showed that in the reaction with Ar the CO2+ product was mainly formed in reactions of the ground state of the dication, CO22+(X3Σg-), leading to the excited states of the product CO2+(A2Πu) and CO2+(B2Σu+). In the reaction with Ne, the largest probability had the process from the reactant dication excited state CO22+(1Σg+) leading to the product ion ground state CO2+(X2Πg). Less probable were processes between the other excited states of the dication CO22+, (1∆g), (1Σu-), (3∆u), also leading to the product ion ground state CO2+(X2Πg). Using the Landau-Zener model of the reaction window, relative populations of the ground and excited states of the dication CO22+ in the reactant beam were roughly estimated as (X3Σg):(1∆g):(1Σg+):(1Σu-):(3∆u) = 1.0:0.6:0.5:0.25:0.25.

Abstract We refine the notion of eclectic spin chains introduced in [1] by including a maximal number of deformation parameters. These models are integrable, nearest-neighbor n-state spin chains with exceedingly simple non-hermitian Hamiltonians. They turn out to be non-diagonalizable in the multiparticle sector (n > 2), where their “spectrum” consists of an intricate collection of Jordan blocks of arbitrary size and multiplicity. We show how and why the quantum inverse scattering method, sought to be universally applicable to integrable nearest-neighbor spin chains, essentially fails to reproduce the details of this spectrum. We then provide, for n=3, detailed evidence by a variety of analytical and numerical techniques that the spectrum is not “random”, but instead shows surprisingly subtle and regular patterns that moreover exhibit universality for generic deformation parameters. We also introduce a new model, the hypereclectic spin chain, where all parameters are zero except for one. Despite the extreme simplicity of its Hamiltonian, it still seems to reproduce the above “generic” spectra as a subset of an even more intricate overall spectrum. Our models are inspired by parts of the one-loop dilatation operator of a strongly twisted, double-scaled deformation of $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 4 Super Yang-Mills Theory.

Cellular receptors on the cell membrane can bind ligand molecules in the extra-cellular medium to form ligand-bound monomers. These interactions ultimately determine the fate of a cell through the resulting intra-cellular signalling cascades. Often, several receptor types can bind a shared ligand leading to the formation of different monomeric complexes, and in turn to competition for the common ligand. Here, we describe competition between two receptors which bind a common ligand in terms of a bi-variate stochastic process. The stochastic description is important to account for fluctuations in the number of molecules. Our interest is in computing two summary statistics—the steady-state distribution of the number of bound monomers and the time to reach a threshold number of monomers of a given kind. The matrix-analytic approach developed in this manuscript is exact, but becomes impractical as the number of molecules in the system increases. Thus, we present novel approximations which can work under low-to-moderate competition scenarios. Our results apply to systems with a larger number of population species (i.e., receptors) competing for a common resource (i.e., ligands), and to competition systems outside the area of molecular dynamics, such as Mathematical Ecology.
