29. A recent work by E. Zaccarelli, I. Saika-Voivod, S. V. Buldyrev, A. J. Moreno, P. Tartaglia, and F. Sciortino [J. Chem. Phys. 124, 124908 (2006)] has reported anomalous relaxation features for a short-ranged attractive colloid with a constraint in the maximum number of bonds for each particle (note that the standard case is unconstrained). Hard-sphere repulsion and reversible gelation of a bonded network have been suggested as competing arrest mechanisms for this system.
