Microscopic theory of the jamming transition of harmonic spheres

We develop a microscopic theory to analyze the phase behaviour and compute correlation functions of dense assemblies of soft repulsive particles both at finite temperature, as in colloidal materials, and at vanishing temperature, a situation relevant for granular materials and emulsions. We use a mean-field statistical mechanical approach which combines elements of liquid state theory to replica calculations to obtain quantitative predictions for the location of phase boundaries, macroscopic thermodynamic properties and microstructure of the system. We focus in particular on the derivation of scaling properties emerging in the vicinity of the jamming transition occurring at large density and zero temperature. The new predictions we obtain for pair correlation functions near contact are tested using computer simulations. Our work also clarifies the conceptual nature of the jamming transition, and its relation to the phenomenon of the glass transition observed in atomic liquids.Comment: 31 pages, 18 figures; long version of arXiv:1011.563

Diferenciación de hemoglobinas en la población negra de Lima

Within our roadmap in this area, given that it is in blacks more often where most of the known abnormal hemoglobins are noted, consider it appropriate to study differentiation of hemoglobins in hospital black population of Lima, reason this preliminary note.Dentro de nuestro plan de trabajo en este terreno, teniendo en cuenta que es en la raza negra donde con más frecuencia se señalan la mayoría de las hemoglobinas anormales conocidas, consideramos conveniente el estudio de diferenciación de hemoglobinas en la población negra hospitalaria de Lima, motivo de esta nota preliminar
