Recent research has shown that estimations of the transformation temperatures of superelastic Nitinol using differential scanning calorimetry can be inaccurate, in part, due to the residual stress in the material. Superelastic Nitinol is selected as the end-cap material in a tunable cymbal transducer. The differential scanning calorimetry accuracy is initially probed by comparing transformation...

In situ microcalorimetry monitored assembly and coligand induced switching of the magnetic anisotropy sign have been observed in a ?-diketonate-Co( ii ) system.

Kinetic and thermodynamic studies have been made on the effect of the inosine product on the activity of adenosine deaminase in a 50 mM sodium phosphate buffer, pH 7.5, at 27 degrees C using UV spectrophotometry and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). A competitive inhibition was observed for inosine as a product of the enzymatic reaction. A graphical-fitting method was used for determinati...

The heat of interaction of sodium warfarin and human plasma albumin has been studied by heatburst microcalorimetry. Sixteen experiments were performed at warfarin concentrations of 0.02 and 0.10% and albumin concentrations of 0.2 and 0.4%. The average heat evolved was -3.14 kcal per mole of warfarin. It is suggested that the molecular basis of the warfarin-albumin interaction is hydrogen and hy...
