Article Abstract
Thermal-lens spectrometry is a sensitive technique for determination of physicochemical properties and thermophysical parameters of various materials including heterogeneous systems and nanoparticles. In this paper, we consider the issues of the correctness (trueness) of measurements of the characteristic time of the thermal-lens effect and, thus, of the thermal diffusivity determined by dual-beam mode-mismatching thermal lensing. As sources of systematic errors, major factors-radiation sources, sample-cell and detector parameters, and general measurement parameters-are considered using several configurations of the thermal-lens setups, and their contributions are quantified or estimated. Furthermore, with aqueous ferroin and Sudan I in ethanol as inert colorants, the effects of the intermolecular distance of the absorbing substance on the correctness of finding the thermophysical parameters are considered. The recommendations for checking the operation of the thermal-lens setup to ensure the maximum accuracy are given. The results obtained help reducing the impact of each investigated factor on the value of systematic error and correctly measure the thermophysical parameters using thermal-lens spectrometry.

Article Synopsis
- Cryopreservation is a method used to freeze and store biological cells and tissues, like stem cells and articular cartilage, to maintain their essential functions when thawed.
- This process is particularly important in medicine for repairing damaged joints, as it allows preserved cartilage to be used for reconstruction.
- The article discusses a study using numerical methods to analyze heat and mass transfer in cryopreserved cartilage, revealing a small relative error in thermophysical parameters and proposing modified values for better accuracy.

Ionic liquids, which are widely recognized as environmentally friendly solvents, stand out as promising alternatives to traditional heat-transfer fluids due to their outstanding heat-storage and heat-transfer capabilities. In the course of our ongoing research, we successfully synthesized ionic liquids 1-ethyl-4-alkyl-1,2,4-triazolium alanine [Taz(2,)][Ala], where ( = 4, 5); in this study, we present comprehensive data on their density, surface tension, isobaric molar heat capacity, and thermal conductivity for the first time. The key thermophysical parameters influencing the heat-transfer process, such as thermal expansibility, compressibility, isochoric heat capacity, and heat-storage density, were meticulously calculated from experimental data.

With the large-scale applications of cryopreservation technology in the cell therapy fields, traditional permeable cryoprotectants (CPAs) have led to serious issues, such as cell cycle arrest, inhibition of cell proliferation and differentiation, apoptosis, altered gene expression, etc. Development of green, non-toxic cryoprotectants is critically needed. Amino acids could serve as substrates for protein and cellular metabolism and as cryoprotectants with non-toxicity, balancing the intracellular water osmotic pressure.
