Abstract:
We consider resistor networks, which are lattices with bonds represented by conductors and some of the bonds removed. It is known that effective medium theories predict that the effective conductivity of such networks is a linear function of the number of bonds present above the percolation threshold, but exact results for completely random networks deviate from linearity. We show that if instead we take a randomly chosen tree spanning the lattice and then start adding bonds to it at random, the conductivity changes linearly with the number of added bonds and coincides with the effective medium result for a given bond concentration. We also make comparisons with some related models.

Electric Field of Parallel Conducting Plates
Consider a cross-section of a thin, infinite conducting plate having a positive charge. For such a large thin plate, as the thickness of the plate tends to zero, the positive charges lie on the plate's two large faces. Without an external electric field, the...

Antibody Structure and Classes
The basic structure of an antibody consists of four protein chains: two identical heavy chains and two identical light chains. These chains are held together by disulfide bonds and other non-covalent interactions, forming a Y-shaped structure.
