Summary: The temperature dependence of the partial heat capacity of the native protein structure in an aqueous solution has been analyzed. It is shown that the strictly linear temperature dependence is due to the contributions of the vibrational and conformational components, indicating volume consistency and the absence of conformational transitions up to the main two-state transition. The two-level structural and functional organization of the protein three-dimensional structure are considered in relation to energy and conformational entropy properties in accordance with the principles of protein macromolecule organization.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between the isochoric heat capacities of liquid and ideal gas phase organic non-electrolytes and their vaporization enthalpy at 298.15 K. The findings suggest that the difference of isobaric and isochoric heat capacities of liquid aromatic compounds is constant within a certain range and does not depend on the vaporization enthalpy. There is a direct proportionality between isochoric heat capacity change and the vaporization enthalpy for 84 compounds, indicating a strong correlation between the two.

Summary: This study investigates the effect of sugar incorporation on the micellization behavior of a linear triblock copolymer. The results show that the enthalpy barrier of micellization is reduced in the presence of sugar, leading to a decrease in the Gibbs free energy of micellization. These changes are attributed to the modulation of water structures in the micelle interface microenvironment, emphasizing the role of temperature in regulating copolymer-solvent interactions.

Summary: This paper investigates the application of an ionic liquid in nanofluids and compares its stability and thermal properties with conventional surfactants. The results show that the inclusion of the ionic liquid improves the thermal conductivity and stability of the nanofluid. However, the electrostatic repulsive force of the ionic liquid decreases with increasing temperature. The nanofluid containing the ionic liquid demonstrates the most significant enhancement in thermal conductivity at 303 K and a maximum dispersion stability of over one month.

Summary: This work focuses on the thermochemistry of solvation of azeotropes. The enthalpies of dissolution of azeotropes in different mediums were determined, and the impact of the structure of the azeotropes on their properties in solution was discussed. A correlation between enthalpies of solvation and molar refraction was used to determine the vaporization enthalpies of azeotropes for the first time. The results were found to be consistent with literature data, obtained using direct and calculated methods. These findings contribute to the analysis of the structure-property relationships of azeotropes.

Summary: In this study, the interactions between doped and pristine coronenes and adenine nucleobases were investigated using Density Functional Theory. The optimal configurations, adsorption energies, charge transfer, and electrical properties of each complex were calculated. It was found that doped coronene had stronger adsorption strength and charge transfer compared to pristine coronene. The stability of the complexes was attributed to non-covalent interactions in the interactive region. The change in electrical conductivity of coronenes after adsorption suggested their sensitivity towards DNA bases. The predicted energy gap and prolonged recovery time for adenine-coronene configurations indicated the potential application of pristine/doped coronene in DNA detection.

The reaction mechanism involves complex reaction orders for the oxidant and the aromatic aldehyde, while the reaction order for Ru(VI) is one. The proposed mechanism includes two catalytic cycles and the formation and decomposition of complexes. Quantitative structure-activity relationship analysis showed that deactivating groups in the para-position enhance the process.

Summary: This study evaluated the adsorption of zolpidem on magnetic graphene oxide and synthesized magnetic graphene oxide adsorbents for zolpidem removal. The best magnetic nanoadsorbent was found to have a removal percentage of 87.07% at specific pH and temperature conditions. The results suggest that the removal of zolpidem is related to the surface chemistry of the adsorbent rather than the surface area of graphene oxide. The adsorbent showed excellent adsorption efficiency and magnetic behavior, making it a promising material for removing zolpidem from aqueous solutions.

The results show that volume fraction and temperature have a significant impact on the thermal conductivity, while sphericity also needs to be considered. A support vector machine regression model was created to analyze the sensitivity of the thermal conductivity to different parameters. The findings indicate that temperature, sphericity, and volume fraction are the most sensitive variables.
