How to gain insights into complex modes of interaction with ITCAFFINImeter
Malvern and AFFINImeter together, show how the latest advances in the field of ITC data analysis enable users to “squeeze” the ITC isotherm(s) to get more information than just thermodynamic data and to expand the range of applications of ITC.
Data logging is the process of using computers to collect data through sensors, analyze the data, and save the results of the collection and analysis. It involves sensors that detect and record measurements, a data collector that receives information from the sensors, and data analysis to interpret the results. Common applications of data logging include monitoring industrial processes, scientific experiments, machine testing, and more.
This document provides an introduction to computational chemistry. It defines computational chemistry as using theoretical chemistry calculations and computational programs to calculate molecular properties and simulate macromolecular systems. It discusses basic concepts like electronegativity and redox potential. It describes using programs like Gabedit and R Studio to calculate redox potentials of molecules and analyze the results. Experimental redox potential values for various molecules were calculated and compared to theoretical values, finding them to match closely with an R2 value of 0.979 for the correlation. This supports the hypothesis that computational methods can accurately predict redox potentials.
This presentation discusses magnetic and nuclear cooling techniques. Magnetic cooling uses the magnetocaloric effect where applying or removing a magnetic field from certain materials causes a temperature change. The process involves magnetizing a material, transferring heat away, demagnetizing to cool the material, and transferring the cold to the target. Very low temperatures below 1K can be achieved using nuclear demagnetization which exploits the magnetic dipoles of atomic nuclei. This technique allows cooling to temperatures as low as 0.001K and is useful for experimental applications. Magnetic and nuclear refrigeration provide advantages over conventional cooling like reduced energy costs and avoiding ozone-depleting refrigerants.

A CMOS temperature sensor circuit with programmable temperature range is proposed for biomedical applications. The proposed circuit consists of temperature sensor core circuit and programmable temperature range digital interface circuit. Both circuits are able to be operated at 1.0 V. The proposed temperature sensor circuit is operated in weak inversion region of MOSFETs.

1. A new constant-temperature constant-voltage (CT-CV) charging technique is proposed that adjusts the charging current in response to the battery's temperature to reduce charging time without increasing degradation.
2. Experimental results show that CT-CV charging can reduce charging time by 20% compared to constant-current constant-voltage charging while maintaining the same temperature rise.
3. CT-CV charging can also lower the temperature rise by 20% compared to constant-current constant-voltage charging during the same charging period.
Thermal analysis techniques measure physical properties as a function of temperature. Differential thermal analysis (DTA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) compare the temperature of a sample to an inert reference as each is subjected to a heating or cooling program. In DTA, any temperature difference between sample and reference indicates a chemical or physical change in the sample. DSC directly measures heat flow into or out of the sample, allowing determination of transition temperatures and heats of reactions. Both techniques find applications in chemistry, materials science, polymers, pharmaceuticals and more.

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is a thermal analysis technique that measures the heat flow into or out of a sample as it is heated, cooled, or held at constant temperature. DSC directly measures the energy required to establish a zero temperature difference between a sample and an inert reference material as both are subjected to an identical temperature program. This allows the determination of transition temperatures such as melting points and glass transition temperatures. DSC is commonly used in pharmaceutical analysis to characterize materials such as purity determination, polymorphism detection, and stability studies. The basic components of a DSC instrument include sample and reference pans, a furnace to heat the pans at a controlled rate, and sensors to measure the heat flow difference between

Magmatic iron-meteorite parent bodies are the earliest planetesimals in the Solar System,and they preserve information about conditions and planet-forming processes in thesolar nebula. In this study, we include comprehensive elemental compositions andfractional-crystallization modeling for iron meteorites from the cores of five differenti-ated asteroids from the inner Solar System. Together with previous results of metalliccores from the outer Solar System, we conclude that asteroidal cores from the outerSolar System have smaller sizes, elevated siderophile-element abundances, and simplercrystallization processes than those from the inner Solar System. These differences arerelated to the formation locations of the parent asteroids because the solar protoplane-tary disk varied in redox conditions, elemental distributions, and dynamics at differentheliocentric distances. Using highly siderophile-element data from iron meteorites, wereconstruct the distribution of calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions (CAIs) across theprotoplanetary disk within the first million years of Solar-System history. CAIs, the firstsolids to condense in the Solar System, formed close to the Sun. They were, however,concentrated within the outer disk and depleted within the inner disk. Future modelsof the structure and evolution of the protoplanetary disk should account for this dis-tribution pattern of CAIs.

Mapping the Growth of Supermassive Black Holes as a Function of Galaxy Stella...Sérgio Sacani
The growth of supermassive black holes is strongly linked to their galaxies. It has been shown that the population
mean black hole accretion rate (BHAR) primarily correlates with the galaxy stellar mass (Må) and redshift for the
general galaxy population. This work aims to provide the best measurements of BHAR as a function of Må and
redshift over ranges of 109.5 < Må < 1012 Me and z < 4. We compile an unprecedentedly large sample with 8000
active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and 1.3 million normal galaxies from nine high-quality survey fields following a
wedding cake design. We further develop a semiparametric Bayesian method that can reasonably estimate BHAR
and the corresponding uncertainties, even for sparsely populated regions in the parameter space. BHAR is
constrained by X-ray surveys sampling the AGN accretion power and UV-to-infrared multiwavelength surveys
sampling the galaxy population. Our results can independently predict the X-ray luminosity function (XLF) from
the galaxy stellar mass function (SMF), and the prediction is consistent with the observed XLF. We also try adding
external constraints from the observed SMF and XLF. We further measure BHAR for star-forming and quiescent
galaxies and show that star-forming BHAR is generally larger than or at least comparable to the quiescent BHAR.

The Limited Role of the Streaming Instability during Moon and Exomoon FormationSérgio Sacani
It is generally accepted that the Moon accreted from the disk formed by an impact between the proto-Earth and
impactor, but its details are highly debated. Some models suggest that a Mars-sized impactor formed a silicate
melt-rich (vapor-poor) disk around Earth, whereas other models suggest that a highly energetic impact produced a
silicate vapor-rich disk. Such a vapor-rich disk, however, may not be suitable for the Moon formation, because
moonlets, building blocks of the Moon, of 100 m–100 km in radius may experience strong gas drag and fall onto
Earth on a short timescale, failing to grow further. This problem may be avoided if large moonlets (?100 km)
form very quickly by streaming instability, which is a process to concentrate particles enough to cause gravitational
collapse and rapid formation of planetesimals or moonlets. Here, we investigate the effect of the streaming
instability in the Moon-forming disk for the first time and find that this instability can quickly form ∼100 km-sized
moonlets. However, these moonlets are not large enough to avoid strong drag, and they still fall onto Earth quickly.
This suggests that the vapor-rich disks may not form the large Moon, and therefore the models that produce vaporpoor disks are supported. This result is applicable to general impact-induced moon-forming disks, supporting the
previous suggestion that small planets (<1.6 R⊕) are good candidates to host large moons because their impactinduced disks would likely be vapor-poor. We find a limited role of streaming instability in satellite formation in an
impact-induced disk, whereas it plays a key role during planet formation.

a compound pendulum is a physical system with a more complex structure than a simple pendulum, incorporating its mass distribution and dimensions into its oscillatory motion around a fixed axis. Understanding its dynamics involves principles of rotational mechanics and the interplay between gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy. Compound pendulums are used in various scientific and engineering applications, such as seismology for measuring earthquakes, in clocks to maintain accurate timekeeping, and in mechanical systems to study oscillatory motion dynamics.

JAMES WEBB STUDY THE MASSIVE BLACK HOLE SEEDSSérgio Sacani
The pathway(s) to seeding the massive black holes (MBHs) that exist at the heart of galaxies in the present and distant Universe remains an unsolved problem. Here we categorise, describe and quantitatively discuss the formation pathways of both light and heavy seeds. We emphasise that the most recent computational models suggest that rather than a bimodal-like mass spectrum between light and heavy seeds with light at one end and heavy at the other that instead a continuum exists. Light seeds being more ubiquitous and the heavier seeds becoming less and less abundant due the rarer environmental conditions required for their formation. We therefore examine the different mechanisms that give rise to different seed mass spectrums. We show how and why the mechanisms that produce the heaviest seeds are also among the rarest events in the Universe and are hence extremely unlikely to be the seeds for the vast majority of the MBH population. We quantify, within the limits of the current large uncertainties in the seeding processes, the expected number densities of the seed mass spectrum. We argue that light seeds must be at least 103 to 105 times more numerous than heavy seeds to explain the MBH population as a whole. Based on our current understanding of the seed population this makes heavy seeds (Mseed > 103 M⊙) a significantly more likely pathway given that heavy seeds have an abundance pattern than is close to and likely in excess of 10−4 compared to light seeds. Finally, we examine the current state-of-the-art in numerical calculations and recent observations and plot a path forward for near-future advances in both domains.

Tarsonemids and Eriophyids produce distortion (twist), puckering (Folds) or stunting (Short) of leaves.
Eriophyids produce distinct galls or blisters (fluid-filled sac in the outer layer)

Evaluation and Identification of J'BaFofi the Giant Spider of Congo and Moke...MrSproy
ABSTRACT
The J'BaFofi, or "Giant Spider," is a mainly legendary arachnid by reportedly inhabiting the dense rain forests of
the Congo. As despite numerous anecdotal accounts and cultural references, the scientific validation remains more elusive.
My study aims to proper evaluate the existence of the J'BaFofi through the analysis of historical reports,indigenous
testimonies and modern exploration efforts.
