A cocrystal and a molecular salt of β-alanine and DL-tartaric acid, CHNO·CHO, of the same chemical composition, were studied over a wide temperature range by single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction. Neither the interconversion between the two phases nor any polymorphic transitions were observed in the temperature range from 100 K to the melting points. This contrasts with the solvent-mediated phase transition from the salt to the cocrystal in a slurry that has been documented earlier.

During the hot summer months, the significant temperature disparity between outdoor and indoor air-conditioned spaces can lead to thermal discomfort and pose a potential health risk. Transition areas such as corridors and elevator lobbies, serving as intermediary zones connecting indoors and outdoors, have been found effective in mitigating this thermal discomfort. In this study, three different temperatures (25 °C-case 1, 27 °C-case 2, and 29 °C-case 3) were employed to investigate the dynamic physiological regulation and thermal perception response of individuals when transitioning from an outdoor environment into an indoor neutral room through a transition space.

Temperature is a critical factor affecting the matric suction of unsaturated soils. This study employed a simple and time-saving method to investigate the influences of temperature and moisture content on the temperature dependence of matric suction in loess and sand soils. Based on experimental data, the fitting performance of three data-fitting models-Brooks-Corey, van Genuchten, and Fredlund-Xing -was evaluated at temperatures above 0 °C.

In order to solve the problems of rutting and early fatigue cracks in emulsified asphalt cold recycled pavement, and the shortage of natural stone resources and new environmental hazards caused by the use of traditional limestone powder filler. In this study, coal gangue powder was added to prepare Emulsified Asphalt Mastic (EAM) to improve the rheological properties and fatigue performance. A series of tests, including frequency scanning, temperature scanning, Multiple Stress Creep Recovery (MSCR), Linear Amplitude Scanning (LAS), and Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were conducted.

The Maisotsenko cycle-based coolers have gained increasing attention in recent years due to their advantages of low energy consumption and environmental friendliness. Optimizing the model structure and operating conditions is the primary approach for enhancing the cooling performance of dew-point evaporation systems. In this paper, a novel mathematical model of the perforated dew-point evaporative cooler was developed to investigate its cooling performance.
