Density measurements have been made on aqueous lysozyme solutions at 20, 25, and 30 degrees. The apparent specific volumes, phi v, and expansibilities, phi e, have been determined from the density measurements and fitted to a function of concentration (weight per cent). Sound velocities and heat capacities have also been measured for various concentrations of lysozyme-water solutions at 25 degr...

With the objective of implementing graphite calorimetry at the BIPM to measure absorbed dose, an experimental assembly has recently been constructed to measure the specific heat capacity of graphite. A status description of the apparatus and results from the first measurements are given. The outcome is discussed and the experimental uncertainty is reviewed.

The claim that face perception is mediated by a specialized ‘face module’ that proceeds automatically, independently of attention (e.g., Kanwisher, 2000) can be reconciled with load theory claims that visual perception has limited capacity (e.g., Lavie, 1995) by hypothesizing that face perception has face-specific capacity limits. We tested this hypothesis by comparing the effects of face and n...

UNLABELLED Thermal energy storage (TES) is extremely important in concentrated solar power (CSP) plants since it represents the main difference and advantage of CSP plants with respect to other renewable energy sources such as wind, photovoltaic, etc. CSP represents a low-carbon emission renewable source of energy, and TES allows CSP plants to have energy availability and dispatchability using ...

Molecular Dynamics (MD) is used in computational heat transfer to determine the thermal response of nanostructures. Finding basis in classical statistical mechanics, MD relates the thermal energy of the atom to its momentum by the equipartition theorem. Momenta of atoms in an ensemble are determined by solving Newton’s equations with inter-atomic forces derived from Lennard-Jones potentials. St...

In this paper, we report on measurements of the specific heat C of single-crystalline EuxSrl_xTe at temperatures between 60 mK and 15 K and in magnetic fields up to 6 T. Pure antiferromagnetic EuTe shows unusual critical behavior in the vicinity of the N6el temperature T N = 9.8 K with a positive critical exponent instead of the 3d-Heisenberg exponent c~---0.12. Possible reasons for this discre...
