The specific heat is frequency dependent in highly viscous liquids. By solving the full one-dimensional thermoviscoelastic problem analytically it is shown that, because of thermal expansion and the fact that mechanical stresses relax on the same time scale as the enthalpy relaxes, the plane thermal-wave method does not measure the isobaric frequency-dependent specific heat c{p}(omega) . This method rather measures a "longitudinal" frequency-dependent specific heat, a quantity defined and detailed here that is in between c{p}(omega) and c{V}(omega) . This result means that no reliable wide-frequency measurements of c{p}(omega) on liquids approaching the calorimetric glass transition exist. We briefly discuss consequences for experiment.

Background: The cerebrovasculature is an essential component of brain homeostasis. Cerebrovascular disorders are associated with an increased risk for neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the mechanisms by which cerebrovascular dysfunction contributes to neurodegeneration are poorly understood.

Background: Abnormal brain insulin signaling has been associated with Alzheimer's disease pathology and a faster rate of late-life cognitive decline. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we examined whether AD-related cortical proteins identified using targeted-proteomics play a role in the association of brain insulin signaling and cognitive decline.

Background: Alzheimer's Disease (AD) presents complex molecular heterogeneity, influenced by a variety of factors including heterogeneous phenotypic, genetic, and neuropathologic presentations. Regulation of gene expression mechanisms is a primary interest of investigations aiming to uncover the underlying disease mechanisms and progression.
Method: We generated bulk RNA-sequencing in prefrontal cortex from 565 AD brain samples (non-Hispanic Whites, n = 399; Hispanics, n = 113; African American, n = 12) across six U.

Effective heat management is critical for improving energy efficiency and minimizing environmental impact. Passive radiative heat management systems rely on specific materials and design configurations to naturally modulate temperature, enhance system reliability, and decrease operational costs by modulating infrared light. However, their static nature proves insufficient in dynamic settings experiencing significant temperature fluctuations.

The crystal structures and hyperfine magnetic parameters of EuFe(BO) and mixed EuLaFe(BO) were studied over a wide temperature range in order to analyze correlations of the structural and magnetic features and the phase transitions in multiferroic compounds of the rare-earth iron borate family. The chemical compositions of the crystals are reported from X-ray fluorescence analysis. The crystal structures of EuFe(BO) and EuLaFe(BO) were determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction in the temperature range 25-500 K.
