We study numerically thermal effects at the depinning transition of an elastic string driven in a two-dimensional uncorrelated disorder potential. The velocity of the string exactly at the sample critical force is shown to behave as V~T(ψ), with ψ the thermal rounding exponent. We show that the computed value of the thermal rounding exponent, ψ=0.15, is robust and accounts for the different scaling properties of several observables both in the steady state and in the transient relaxation to the steady state. In particular, we show the compatibility of the thermal rounding exponent with the scaling properties of the steady-state structure factor, the universal short-time dynamics of the transient velocity at the sample critical force, and the velocity scaling function describing the joint dependence of the steady-state velocity on the external drive and temperature.

During the heat treatment of round steel bars, a heated charge in the form of a cylindrically formed bundle is placed in a furnace. This type of charge is a porous granular medium in which a complex heat flow occurs during heating. The following heat transfer mechanisms occur simultaneously in this medium: conduction in bars, conduction within the gas, thermal radiation between the surfaces of the bars, and contact conduction across the joints between the adjacent bars.

Herein, -glucan (BG) was extracted from different colored varieties of highland barley (HB, ), defined as BBG, WBG, and LBG depending on the colors of black, white, and blue and their molecular structure and physicochemical properties were investigated through a series of technical methods. The high-performance anion-exchange chromatography (HPAEC) results indicated the extracted BBG, LBG, and WBG mainly comprised glucose regardless of color. The molecular weight (M) of BBG, LBG, and WBG were 55.

Meringue has limited the use of meringue for personalization because of its thermally unstable system. Citric acid (CA) enhancement of egg white protein (EWP) foaming properties is proposed for the preparation of 3D-printed meringues. The results showed that CA increased the viscosity, exposure of hydrophobic groups (79.

Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) is a well-recognized technique for amplifying and quantifying nuclear acid, and its real-time monitoring capability, ultrahigh sensitivity, and accuracy make it a "golden-standard" tool in both molecular biology research and clinical diagnostics. However, current qPCR tests rely on bulky instrumentation and skilled laboratorians in centralized laboratories, which spatially and temporally separate the sample collection and test, leading to longer sample turnaround times (TATs) and limited working conditions. Herein, we propose an integrated optical fiber real-time polymerase chain reaction (iF-PCR) system that successfully allows convenient sample collection, rapid thermocycling, closed-loop thermal annealing, and real-time fluorescence detection in a tiny capillary reactor.

Background: High concentration protein formulation (HCPF) development needs to balance protein stability attributes such as conformational/colloidal stability, chemical stability, and solution properties such as viscosity and osmolality.
Methodology: A three-phase design is established in this work. In Phase 1, conformational and colloidal stability are measured by 384-well-based high-throughput (HT) biophysical screening while viscosity reduction screening is performed with HT viscosity screening.
