This paper deals with the notion of ion condensation for spherical colloids and, more specifically, with a recent model developed to predict effective charges (Y. Levin, M. C. Barbosa, and M. N. Tamashiro, Europhys. Lett. 41, 123, 1998). Electrophoretic mobility measurements (carried out for a set o

✦ Synopsis
The primary electroviscous effect has been investigated in dilute suspensions of titanium oxide (anatase), the viscosities of which were measured by means of a capillary viscometer with automatic timing. The linear relation between viscosity and solids volume fraction was first determined at the isoelectric point of the particles when the particles are uncharged, and the electroviscous contribution to the intrinsic viscosity was then determined at other values of pH. Booth's theory (Proc. R. Soc. London Ser. A203, 533 (1950)) agrees well with the experimental results when the particle zeta potential is small and the double layer is thin (kappa alpha approximately 7.3), but agreement is poor when the double layer is thick (kappa alpha approximately 0.6).

Background: Sacral and posterior tibial nerve stimulation may be used to treat faecal incontinence; however, the mechanism of action is unknown. The aim of this study was to establish whether sensory activation of the cerebral cortex by anal canal stimulation was increased by peripheral neuromodulat
