An experimental study of the ferroelastic phase transition in urea/n-heptadecane CO(NH2)2/C17H40 composite around the structural phase transition undergone by this crystal at 159 K is presented. The temperature dependence of the macroscopic spontaneous strain and the optical birefringence around this temperature has been determined. A phenomenological model limited to the hexagonal-orthorhombic change of the urea sublattice leads to a linear relation between these quantities and the phase transition entropy. The experimental data agree with this description exception made of the near vicinity of the phase transition, where the influence of the alkane chain ordering processes cannot be excluded.

Hypergravity high-temperature and high-pressure experiments are a powerful tool for studying geological processes over long periods. A new centrifugal hypergravity piston cylinder apparatus has been developed for beam centrifuge. The unique design of this centrifugal hypergravity piston cylinder apparatus is that the hydraulic system and the press are relatively independent.

During batch fermentation, a variety of compounds are synthesized, as microorganisms undergo distinct growth phases: lag, exponential, growth-no-growth transition, stationary, and decay. A detailed understanding of the metabolic pathways involved in these phases is crucial for optimizing the production of target compounds. Dynamic flux balance analysis (dFBA) offers insight into the dynamics of metabolic pathways.

Understanding the interactions between lipid membranes and nucleotide drugs is crucial for nucleic acid therapy. Although several methods have been employed to evaluate nucleotide-lipid membrane interactions, these interactions can be complex; this complexity arises from how external factors, such as ionic strength or temperature, influence the lipid membrane's overall properties. In this study, we prepared a lipid membrane-immobilized monolithic silica (LMiMS) column for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis to understand interactions between the lipid membrane and nucleic acid.
