Non covalent interactions in biological macromolecules mediate almost all the chemical processes in living systems. Developments in microcalorimetry has enabled a quantitative understanding of such interactions and contributed significantly to biotechnology, medicine, and novel drug design. This report addresses advancement and use of ultrasensitive microcalorimetry in connecting bioenergetics ...

The development of a High Sensitivity Scanning Stress Microcalorimeter for the study of martensitic phase transformations in beta phase CuAlNi single crystal tensile specimens is described. The design of this system is discussed with reference to an earlier version. The values of calorimetric sensitivity reported for the new system represent a significant improvement over the prototype and a co...

the microstructure and thermal properties of the synthesized block copolymers and terpolymers via atom transfer radical polymerization (atrp) were studied. the mole fraction of the blocks and chain length of the pvac-b-pma block copolymers were estimated with 1h nmr spectroscopy.differential scanning calorimety measurement shows two different transitions at 36°c and 8°c assigned to pvac and pma...

in this study, we investigated the effect of using large tio2 nanoparticles in the matrix of small nanoparticles to improve the performance of dye-sensitized solar cells (dsscs), as light scatter to increase the light harvesting. the mixed powder was deposited by electrophoretic deposition (epd) on fto (f-sno2 coated glass). it is shown that adding small quantity of larger nanoparticles can enh...
