The relative enthalpy of a sample of alpha beryllium nitride, BeN, of 95 percent purity was precisely measured over the temperature range 273 to 1173 K using a drop calorimetric method. Corrections were applied for the impurities, and the resulting heat capacity-temperature function was required to join smoothly that from recent precise NBS adiabatic calorimetry which covered the range 20 to 315 K. The enthalpy, heat capacity, entropy, and Gibbs free-energy function were computed from empirical functions of temperature and tabulated from 273 to 1200 K.

Variable relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of carbon radiotherapy may be calculated using several models, including the microdosimetric kinetic model (MKM), stochastic MKM (SMKM), repair-misrepair-fixation (RMF) model, and local effect model I (LEM), which have not been thoroughly compared. In this work, we compared how these four models handle carbon beam fragmentation, providing insight into where model differences arise. Monoenergetic and spread-out Bragg peak carbon beams incident on a water phantom were simulated using Monte Carlo.

This study explored how post-casting heat treatment and forging affected the tribological and microstructural characteristics of 0.20% beryllium (Be)-added CuAlNiFe alloys. The heat-treated CuAlNiFe microstructure exhibits a copper-rich α (alpha)-solid-solution phase, a martensitic β (beta)-phase, and diverse intermetallic κ (kappa)-phases, such as leaf-shaped κ, thin κ, and black globs.

Na,K-ATPase is the active ion transport system that maintains the electrochemical gradients for Na and K across the plasma membrane of most animal cells. Na,K-ATPase is constituted by the association of two major subunits, a catalytic α and a glycosylated β subunit, both of which exist as different isoforms (in mammals known as α1, α2, α3, α4, β1, β2 and β3). Na,K-ATPase α and β isoforms assemble in different combinations to produce various isozymes with tissue specific expression and distinct biochemical properties.

Article Synopsis
- Podoconiosis is a non-infectious tropical lymphoedema affecting around 4 million people, linked to HLA class II and triggered by unknown factors in volcanic red clay soils.
- The study measured immune responses in podoconiosis patients by analyzing cytokine levels and gene expressions after exposure to specific minerals, finding that patients had higher baseline cytokine levels but lower responses to mineral stimulation.
- The findings indicate ongoing immune activation in podoconiosis patients, highlighting the need for further research to understand immune dysfunction and potentially develop early detection methods for this preventable disease.

Compounds of transition metals and beryllium have a wide range of applications, from everyday tools to high tech applications. Remarkably, no single ternary beryllium nitride with a transition metal is known. Here, we report on the synthesis and properties of the first transition metal nitridoberyllates, namely WBeN and WBeN.
