Colloidal permeability of liquid membranes consisting of hard particles by nonequilibrium simulations
A novel particulate membrane, comprised of a confined fluid of colloidal hard spheres, is presented and studied by means of simulations. Using a fluid of smaller hard spheres as feed, the transport pr...

Kirkwood–Buff theory of molecular and protein association, aggregation, and cellular crowding
An analysis of the effect of a cosolvent on the association of a solute in solution using the Kirkwood–Buff theory of solutions is presented. The approach builds on the previous results of Ben-N...

A procedure is proposed to estimate the viscoelastic properties of a complex fluid from the behavior of the velocity autocorrelation function of a suspended Brownian particle in a limited range of time. The procedure is tested for a model complex fluid with given frequency-dependent shear viscosity. It turns out that the procedure can provide a rather accurate prediction of the viscoelastic properties of the fluid on the basis of experimental data on the velocity autocorrelation function of the Brownian particle in the range of time where it turns negative. ©2009 American Institute of Physics
