The dramatic recent advances in molecular biology, which have opened a new era in
medicine and biotechnology, rely on improved techniques to study large molecules …

This book provides an introduction to Monte Carlo simulations in classical statistical physics
and is aimed both at students beginning work in the field and at more experienced …

Recent work on stochastic interacting particle systems with two particle species (or single-
species systems with kinematic constraints) has demonstrated the existence of spontaneous …

We study a totally asymmetric simple exclusion model with open boundary conditions and a
local inhomogeneity in the bulk. It consists of a one-dimensional lattice with particles …

Recent advances in the theory of non-equilibrium systems are reviewed. The emphasis is on
collective behaviour, particularly non-equilibrium stochastic dynamics and steady state …

The development of nanostructure devices has opened the door to new DNA separation
techniques and fundamental investigations. With advanced nanotechnologies, artificial gels …

Over the last two decades, the introduction of new methods such as pulsed‐field gel
electrophoresis and capillary array electrophoresis has made it possible to map and …

A critical review of the existing theoretical models and experimental evidences for sieving
mechanisms during separation of macromolecules, paying particular attention to capillary …

We study the far-from-equilibrium relaxation of an initially stretched, entangled polymer by
using an exactly solvable lattice gas model for reptation. Over a significant time range …

Stochastic driven flow along a channel can be modeled by the asymmetric simple exclusion
process. We confirm numerically the presence of a dynamic queuing phase transition at a …
