We revisit the problem of the electrostatic attraction between like-charged membranes. In particular, we solve for the spatial distribution of counterions and the effects of counterion-density fluctuations on the membrane interaction simultaneously. This allows for an explicit calculation of the...

We present a unified potential-energy model that successfully reproduces the hydrogen bonding effect in proteins and can be used to represent well-defined secondary structures, both α-helices and β-sheets. The native structures of the model contain both α-helices and β-sheets and are...

High temperature expansion is an effective tool for studying second order phase transitions. With this in mind, we have looked at a high momentum expansion for homogeneous isotropic turbulence. Combining our results with those of the inertial range, we give another view of extended...

We present an overview of some results we have obtained recently (A. Sain, Manu and R. Pandit, Phys. Rev. Lett. 81 (1998) 4377) from a pseudospectral study of the randomly forced Navier–Stokes equation (RFNSE) stirred by a stochastic force with zero mean and a variance ∼k4−d−y, with k...
