The Authors show that there is some relationship between WBGT microclimatic index and PMV thermic comfort index. This relationship can be noticed at various levels of energetic expenditure and for three values of thermic impedance from clothes used in working places in the four seasons.

The GSAG:Ce scintillator represents a promising and cost-effective alternative to the expensive GGAG:Ce. Recent studies have attributed its low light yield to the thermal quenching effect. In this study, we employed the strategy of adding an yttrium (Y) admixture to the GSAG matrix to increase the thermal activation energy of thermal quenching.

Members of the families Thermosynechococcaceae and Thermostichaceae are well-known unicellular thermophilic cyanobacteria and a non-thermophilic genus was newly classified into the former. Analysis of the codon usage bias (CUB) of cyanobacterial species inhabiting different thermal and non-thermal niches will benefit the understanding of their genetic and evolutionary characteristics. Herein, the CUB and codon context patterns of protein-coding genes were systematically analyzed and compared between members of the two families.

Energetic materials often possess different polymorphs that exhibit distinguishable performances. As a typical energetic material, hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane (CL-20 or HNIW) is one of the most powerful explosives nowadays. Phase transition of CL-20 induced by ubiquitous water vapor leading to an increase in sensitivity and a decrease in energy level is a key bottleneck that limits the widespread application of CL-20-based explosives.

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) have emerged as promising, sustainable materials, with applications in sensors, coatings, pharmaceuticals, and composites. Their modification with block copolymers such as PEO-PPO-PEO triblock copolymers of the Pluronic family has been attempted many times in the literature, with claims that such modification would happen by an anchor(PEO)-buoy(PPO)-anchor(PEO) mechanism. However, there is much disagreement in the literature on this.
