A new standardized method, using isothermal microcalorimetry (IMC), was established to determine thermokinetic parameters from heat flow curves and to demonstrate the reproducibility and repeatability of the parameters of five Colletotrichum species on different days. Measurements on IMC were made at different periods and by two operators. Repeatability and reproducibility (R&R) measurement system analysis was performed on the technique used to measure the heat flow of Colletotrichum strains. The results showed that the %GageR&R was found to be within the acceptable ranges of a measurement system. Also, the parameters obtained from the curves were subjected to a combination of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Clustering, the data showed that the total heat (H) and maximum growth rate (μ) are probably the most specific distinguishing characteristic of the strains evaluated in this study. This study demonstrates, for the first time, the usefulness of IMC in obtaining heat flow curves and thermokinetic parameters, providing repeatable and reproducible measurements over a period and under controlled conditions, for future identifications of phytopathogenic fungi.

The research conducted in this study aimed to determine whether the production of a layered casting in the material system of X46Cr13 steel (working part) and gray cast iron (base part) can be integrated with the hardening process of this steel within the conditions of the casting mold. Accordingly, a series of layered castings was produced by preparing the mold cavity, where a monolithic steel insert was poured with molten gray cast iron with flake graphite. The variable factors in the casting production process included the pouring temperature T and the thickness of the support part g.

Novel energetic materials (EM) often combine two intrinsically counter trends, , a high energy density and mediocre safety parameters, like thermal stability and sensitivity toward mechanical stimuli. A rational design of promising EMs requires a proper understanding of their thermal stability at both macroscopic and molecular levels. In the present contribution, we studied in detail the thermal stability of 4,4'-dinitro-3,3'-diazenofuroxan (DDF), an ultrahigh-performance energetic material with a reliable experimental detonation velocity being very close to 10 km s.

is an important species in Mexico that generates significant amounts of biomass waste during its exploitation, which can be utilized to produce energy. This study presents the characterization of this waste based on chemical (proximal and elemental) and thermal analyses (TGA-DTG) at different heating rates (β = 10-30 °C/min (283-303 K/min)) in the presence of nitrogen and in a temperature range of 25-900 °C. Kinetic parameters were calculated and analyzed as well.

This study examines the kinetics and thermodynamics of the inclusion complex (IC) formation between sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (SDBS) and amine-modified β-cyclodextrin (βCD-NH) using surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and theoretical analysis. We determined a binding constant of 10 L mol for the thermodynamically stable complex ([βCD-NH/SDBS]°) within the temperature range of 285.2-301.

One of the major challenges involved in clathrate hydrate science that has remained for more than six decades lies in highly parametric clathrate phase estimation. In this contribution, a recently developed parameter-free hydrate phase statistical equilibrium model is employed for the first time to formulate the formation and dissociation dynamics of clathrates and predict their experimental observation at diverse geological conditions. This rigorous thermokinetic model takes into account various practical issues, notably hydrate formation in nanometer-sized pores (confirmed through seismic survey studies), irregularity in porous particle shape and pore size, renewal of the particle surface over which hydrate majorly forms and decays, and th-order phase transformation.
