The solid-liquid solubility of the thermodynamically stable form I of the drug risperidone has been determined by a gravimetric method in nine pure organic solvents in the temperature range 278.15–323.15 K. The melting temperature and associated enthalpy of fusion of risperidone form I has been determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) to be 442.38 K and 43.94 kJ mol, respectively. ...

Memristors have pinched hysteresis loops in the V − I plane. Ideal memristors are everywhere non-linear, cross at zero and are rotationally symmetric. In this paper we extend memristor theory to produce different types of non-ideality and find that: including a background current (such as an ionic current) moves the crossing point away from zero; including a degradation resistance (that increas...

The current–voltage characteristics of a Schottky diode are simulated numerically using the thermionic emission-diffusion mechanism and considering a Gaussian distribution of barrier heights, with a linear bias dependence of both the mean and standard deviation. The resulting data are analyzed to get insight into the effects of distribution parameters on the barrier height, activation energy pl...

In calorimetry and particularly in heat capacity measurements, different characteristic relaxation time constants may perturb the experiment which cannot be considered at thermodynamic equilibrium. In this case, thermodynamics of irreversible processes has to be taken into account and the calorimetric measurements must be considered as dynamic. In a temperature modulated experiment, such as ac-...

One of the striking results of protein thermodynamics is that the heat capacity change upon denaturation is large and positive. This change is generally ascribed to the exposure of non-polar groups to water on denaturation, in analogy to the large heat capacity change for the transfer of small non-polar molecules from hydrocarbons to water. Calculations of the heat capacity based on the exposed...
