Noble liquid calorimeters have been successfully used in particle physics experiments for decades. The project presented this article is that of a new noble calorimeter concept, where novel design allows us to fulfil the stringent requirements on calorimetry programme electron-positron Future Circular Collider at CERN. High granularity achieved through specific readout electrodes and high-densi...

Calorimetry is an old experimental technique (first instrument developed in S. XVIII), but it broadly used and still provides key information for understanding biological processes at the molecular level, particularly, cooperative phenomena protein interactions. Here, we review highlight some aspects of calorimetry. Several systems will be described which calorimetry was instrumental modeling b...

BACKGROUND Calorimetry is a nonspecific technique which allows direct measurement of heat generated by biological processes in the living cell. We evaluated the potential of calorimetry for rapid detection of bacterial growth in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in a rat model of bacterial meningitis. METHODS Infant rats were infected on postnatal day 11 by direct intracisternal injection with either...

Topochemically polymerized sodium 10,12-pentacosadiynoate (PCDA-Na) microcrystals show an irreversible red-to-blue chromatic transition accompanied by a distinct structural evolution upon initial thermal treatment, and show a subsequent completely reversible blue-to-red chromatic transition upon further thermal stimuli. Visible absorption spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and differential ...

Current Isothermal Titration Calorimetry (ITC) data in the literature have relatively high errors in the measured enthalpies of protein-ligand binding reactions. There is a need for universal validation standards for titration calorimeters. Several inorganic salt co-precipitation and buffer protonation reactions have been suggested as possible enthalpy standards. The performances of several com...

OBJECTIVE Undernutrition, which implies an imbalance between energy intake and energy requirements, is common in patients with cystic fibrosis. The aim of this study was to compare resting energy expenditure determined by indirect calorimetry with that obtained with commonly used predictive equations in adults with cystic fibrosis and to assess the influence of clinical variables on the values ...
