The heat capacities on two minerals of hungchaoite (MgBO·9HO, Hu) and mcallisterite (MgBO·7.5HO, Mc) have been measured with a precision calorimeter at temperatures ranging from 306.15 to 355.15 K, experimentally. It was found that there are no phase transition and thermal anomalies, and the molar heat capacities against temperature for the minerals of hungchaoite and mcallisterite were fitted as C p , m , Hu = - 27019.23675 + 229.55286 T - 0.63912 T 2 + ( 5.95862 × 10 - 4 ) T 3 and C p , mMc = - 9981.88552 + 84.10964 T - 0.22685 T 2 + ( 2.0593 × 10 - 4 ) T 3 , respectively. The molar heat capacities and thermodynamic functions of (-), (-), and (-) at intervals of 1 K for the two minerals were obtained for the first time. These results are significant in order to understand the thermodynamic properties of those minerals existing in nature salt lakes, as well as applying them to the chemical engineering process design.

Magnetic systems, wherein competing degree of freedoms arising from spin orbit coupling and crystal electric field lead to non-trivial magnetic ground states, remains in the forefront of research in condensed matter physics. Here, we present a comprehensive investigation on three-dimensional rare-earth based spin systems NdTaO4 and NdNbO4, where the Nd ions sit on a stretched diamond lattice. No signatures of long-range ordering and spin freezing are observed down to 1.

Background/purpose: Heat stress is essential for improving the efficacy of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-based regeneration medicine. However, it is still unclear whether and how heat stress influences the differentiation of stem cells from apical papilla (SCAPs). This research aimed to explore the potential mechanism of glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78) in regulating differentiation under heat stress in SCAPs.

We have studied the performance changes of Cu-BTC, Cu-MBTC and Cu-EBTC under different water-containing conditions. GCMC studies shows that, compared with Cu-BTC, the water absorption properties of Cu-MBTC and Cu-EBTC have a certain degree of decline, which is consistent with the experimental results.

Premise: The warmer and drier atmospheric conditions of urban environments challenge plant performance to different extents based on a species' ability to acclimate to the conditions. We evaluated the influence of species origin and thermal niche on the acclimation of leaf traits and shifts in the occupation of the functional trait space of 10 tree species growing in two environmentally contrasting sites in Bogotá, Colombia.
Methods: We measured six leaf traits per species in both sites and used generalized linear models to evaluate the influence of origin and thermal niche on acclimation of leaf traits and t-tests to analyze shifts in the occupation of the functional trait space.

This study proposes an efficient, cost-effective, and industrially scalable electrode modulation strategy, which involves directly adding a small amount of high thermal and high conductance TiN and well interface compatible WO to NaNiFeMnO (NaNFMO-TW) cathode slurry, to effectively reduce electrode polarization and interface side reactions, reduce the Ohmic heat and polarization heat of the battery, and ultimately to significantly improve the sodium-ion storage and thermal safety performance of the battery. At room temperature (RT) and 1C rate, the modified NaNFMO-TW electrode exhibits a reversible capacity of ∼95 mAh g after 300 cycles, with a capacity retention rate of 82.6%, being higher than the 50.
