Polymer translocation induced by adsorption
We study the translocation of a flexible polymer through a pore in a membrane
induced by its adsorption on \trans side of the membrane. When temperature
is higher than , the adsorption-desorption transition temperature,
attractive interaction between polymer and membrane plays little role in
affecting polymer conformation, leading to translocation time that scales as
where is the polymer contour length. When ,
however, the translocation time undergoes a sharp crossover to
for sufficiently long polymers, following the second order conformational
(adsorption) transition. The translocation time is found to exhibit the
crossover around , which is lower than for polymers shorter than
a critical length().Comment: 19 pages RevTeX, 5 postscript figures, to be published in J. Chem.

Bayesian quantile regression
Recent work by Schennach (2005) has opened the way to a Bayesian treatment of quantile regression. Her method, called Bayesian exponentially tilted empirical likelihood (BETEL), provides a likelihood for data y subject only to a set of m moment conditions of the form Eg(y, ?) = 0 where ? is a k dimensional parameter of interest and k may be smaller, equal to or larger than m. The method may be thought of as construction of a likelihood supported on the n data points that is minimally informative, in the sense of maximum entropy, subject to the moment conditions.
Polymer Release out of a Spherical Vesicle through a Pore
Translocation of a polymer out of curved surface or membrane is studied via
mean first passage time approach. Membrane curvature gives rise to a constraint
on polymer conformation, which effectively drives the polymer to the outside of
membrane where the available volume of polymer conformational fluctuation is
larger. Considering a polymer release out of spherical vesicle, polymer
translocation time is changed to the scaling behavior for
, from for , where is the polymer contour
length and , are vesicle radius and polymer radius of gyration
respectively. Also the polymer capture into a spherical budd is studied and
possible apparatus for easy capture is suggested.Comment: 14 pages RevTeX, 6 postscript figures, published in Phys. Rev. E 57,
