The thermal analysis in the present work is done to analyze the glass/crystal phase transformation in a newly synthesized glassy system (, glassy SeTeSnZn alloys) consisting of chalcogenides Se and Te as major elements, Sn as a third element of the parent alloy and Zn as a chemical modifier. The role of increasing the Zn concentration at the cost of Se has been understood by correlating the kinematics of structural relaxation during the glass transition phenomenon and devitrification during the crystallization phenomenon in the chalcogenide glasses (ChGs) of the quaternary STSZ [, Se Zn TeSn (0 ≤ ≤ 6)] system and their different physicochemical properties. A noticeable rise in the crystallization rate is observed after the addition of Zn in the parent SeTeSn glass. With the rise in the zinc content, the values of average heat of atomization and overall mean bond energy are found to be decreased with the decrease in cohesive energy of samples. An inverse correlation is observed between the thermal stability parameter and the enthalpy released during the glass/crystalline phase transformation.

Fast and accurate representation of heat transfer in laser powder-bed fusion of metals (PBF-LB/M) is essential for thermo-mechanical analyses. As an example, it benefits the detection of thermal hotspots at the design stage. While traditional physics-based numerical approaches such as the finite element (FE) method are applicable to a wide variety of problems, they are computationally too expensive for PBF-LB/M due to the space- and time-discretization requirements.

Unlabelled: Despite the remarkably high antioxidant activity of tocopherols, their applications in the food industry are limited because of their instability under various conditions. Complexes of α-tocopherol (α-TQ) or α-tocopheryl acetate (α-TQA) with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) or starch were prepared and characterized by UV-vis, IR and thermal analysis. Oxidative stability of α-TQ and α-TQA against HO was 74.

As global demand for plant-based foods increases due to their nutritional and environmental benefits, young jackfruit () is emerging as a promising meat alternative. This study evaluates the effects of heat treatments-specifically blanching for 5 min and boiling for 15, 30, and 45 min-on the quality and sensory attributes of jackfruit-based meatballs. The results indicate consistent color values ( , , and ) across the samples, with values ranging from 53.
