_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     This function partitions protein interaction data into one of
     three classes defined by boundaries supplied by the users.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     separateExptBySize(listOfGraphs, bound1, bound2)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

listOfGraphs: A list containing graphNEL objects to be sorted by the
          number of edges

  bound1: An integer. The strict upper bound for the small scale
          experiments and the lower bound for the medium scale
          experiments.

  bound2: An integer. The upper bound for the medium scale experiments,
          and the  strict lower bound for the large scale experiments.

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     A function to partition graphs based on the number of edges.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     A list: 

   small: A list of graph objects with the number of edges in each
          graph less than bound1.

  medium: A list of graph objects with the number of edges in each
          graph of a value between that of bound1 and bound2.

   large: A list of graph objects with the number of edges in each
          graph greater than bound2.
