We study general geometric techniques for bounding the spectral gap of a reversible Markov chain. We show that the best bound obtainable using these techniques can be computed in polynomial time via semidefinite programming, and is off by at most a factor of order log 2 n, where n is the number of s

The behaviour of many biological systems can be attributed to that of a large number of units, with each unit swinging between two competing states. During the past few years efforts have been made (e.g., Chung and Kennedy, 1996) to describe such discrete systems using a multiple binary Markov chain

The dynamics of bio®lm formation on polyethylene bioparticles in mesophilic anaerobic conditions, using an inverse ¯uidized bed as immobilization system, have been studied. The immobilization process was carried out using acetate and glucose as carbon sources. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) show

A secondary structure has been predicted for the C termini of the fibrinogen b and g chains from an aligned set of homologous protein sequences using a transparent method that extracts conformational information from patters of variation and conservation, parsing strings, and patterns of amphiphilic
