Summary: In this work, dynamic density correlations were calculated using the Mori-Zwanzig-Nakajima projection operator method, with a judicious choice of slow variables to derive evolution equations. The hydrodynamic form of density correlations function, containing acoustic peaks (Brillouin peaks) and a thermal peak (Rayleigh peak), was obtained. Near the critical point, critical exponents extracted from the statistical bootstrap model of hadronic matter were used to estimate the dynamic density correlations. The contributions of bulk viscosity and thermal conductivity to sound attenuation and thermal diffusivity were discussed in search of the QCD critical point in heavy-ion collision experiments.

Summary: In this study, (Mn,Fe)(2)(P,Si)-based nanoparticles were synthesized and the influence of crystallite size and microstructure on the giant magnetocaloric effect was systematically investigated. The results showed that decreasing particle size led to decreased saturation magnetization, thermal hysteresis, and Tc. Annealing at an optimal temperature window and gaseous nitriding were found to enhance magnetization and magnetic entropy change. The results provide important insights into the performance of giant magnetocaloric materials at the nanoscale.

Summary: Diffusivity in Fe alloys at high pressures and temperatures imposes constraints on the transport properties of the inner core. The presence of Si must be considered when studying diffusivity, as it is a likely candidate for a light element in the inner core. In this study, we conducted diffusion experiments under high pressure using an internal-resistive-heated diamond-anvil cell, and determined the coefficients of Fe-Ni interdiffusion in the Fe-Si alloy. The results indicate that the effect of Si on Fe-Ni interdiffusion is not significant.

Summary: This study investigated the effect of changing the packing fraction on the magnetic permeability and core loss of a power inductor core in the high-frequency band by adding nanopowder to micro-sized powders. Fe-Si-Cr crystalline alloy was used as the base material, and Fe-50Ni nanopowder was added. Adding only 10 wt.% Fe-50Ni nanopowder resulted in the maximum packing fraction, highest permeability of 26.598 H/m, and good power inductor characteristics. In addition, the core with 10 wt.% Fe-50Ni nanopowder showed a core loss 78.91% lower than that of pure Fe-Si-Cr core.

Summary: The study reveals the importance of sedimentation processes in understanding temperature dependences of viscosity in Fe-B-Si alloys with more than 1% Ta and 1.5% Nb. Small Ta additions have slight effect on viscosity, while Nb additions increase its value, with local maxima observed at 1% Ta and 3% Nb concentrations. Ab initio calculations demonstrate differences in chemical interaction of Ta and Nb atoms in the melts, leading to improved amorphization ability.

Summary: This study investigates electron transport mechanisms in SiO2(Si)&FexOy(Fe) granular composite films. The results show variable-range hopping conductivity at low electric fields. The Efros-Shklovsky model is applicable in the temperature range of 115<180 K, while the Mott model is applicable at higher temperatures. The characteristics of traps and transport processes are determined using these models. At intermediate and high electric fields, the field enhanced thermal activation of electrons is observed, leading to a temperature independent current.

Summary: This study explores the relationship between the perceived thickness and ease of swallowing of guar gum dispersions with their rheological properties, finding that oral perception is linked to extensional viscosity and Trouton's ratio. The transition to the semi-dilute regime leads to changes in the Trouton's ratio, which becomes significant at concentrations above 0.75 g dL(-1). Extensional viscosity plays a more important role in perception, although both shear and extensional viscosities become important in regulating oral polysaccharide flow at higher concentrations.

Summary: This paper proposes a novel specification of the DCC model, called Projected DCC (Pro-DCC), based on an alternative normalization of the pseudo-correlation matrix. By projecting the pseudo-correlation matrix onto the set of correlation matrices instead of rescaling, a well-defined conditional correlation matrix is obtained. Simulation results show that projection performs better than rescaling when the dimensionality of the correlation matrix is large. An empirical application to the constituents of the S&P 100 demonstrates that the proposed methodology outperforms the standard DCC in out-of-sample asset allocation exercise.

Summary: Coffee ring structures formed by the evaporation of a nanosphere colloidal drop on the flat upper side of a pillar can grow into thick, high-quality colloidal crystals with a torus shape. These microsphere crystals have a lower shape factor compared to those formed in a classical manner, making them easy to detach from the substrate and manipulate. This method could be useful for researchers who use colloidal crystals as sacrificial templates for inverse-opals synthesis.

Summary: In the light-triggered oxidation of phenol over TiO2 with noble metal loading, supported noble metals act as visible light absorbers, assist in charge separation, and catalyze the production of O-2(-), resulting in mild oxidation products and the mineralization of phenol to CO2 by center dot OH radicals. The presence of supported noble metals enhances the oxidative conversion of phenol through the interplay between center dot OH and O-2(-) production.

Summary: Silica and polystyrene spheres with a small size ratio (r = 0.005) were assembled into a binary colloidal crystal through sequential hanging drop self-assembly. The crystal could undergo calcination to transform into a silica-ordered concavity array, which exhibited light Bragg diffraction and shape dependent optical phenomena. Moreover, it could be further transformed into inverse-opal structures. Hierarchical 2D and 3D super-structures with ordered concavities as structural units were successfully fabricated in this study.

Summary: This study investigates the influence of the flexible spacer parity of a guest photoactive liquid crystalline dimer on the photonic bandgap features of the cholesteric and twist grain boundary smectic C phases of the host molecule. The results show that the parity of the photoactive dimer affects the width of the photonic bandgap and the blue-shift of the cholesteric phase. Additionally, the parity of the dimer also affects the layer spacing and two-dimensional periodicity of the liquid crystalline phases.

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 results reveal the presence of weak non-covalent interactions between metals and nanocages, and the interaction between drugs and nanocages plays a significant role in drug adsorption. Compared to free drugs, the adsorption of drugs on nanocages can facilitate electron transfer, reduce energy gaps and chemical hardness, indicating activity at the target site.

Summary: In this study, the selective oxidation of aromatic aldehydes was investigated using Ru(VI) as a catalyst and hexacyanoferrate (III) as a cooxidant in an alkaline medium. 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.

Summary: This study examines the sensitivity of the thermal conductivity of water-based alumina nanofluids to changes in concentration, sphericity, and temperature. 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.

Summary: This paper reports on the synthesis, structural characterization, spectral and nonlinear-optical properties of glass nanocomposites made of glass forming ionic liquid crystals and nanoparticles. The study reveals that by exciting the nanocomposites within their absorption band, a control over effective optical nonlinearities can be achieved, allowing the modification of the magnitude and sign of the effective nonlinear absorption coefficient. The proposed strategy using metal-alkanoates based glass-forming ionic liquid crystals and nanoparticles shows great potential for the development of nanophotonics and plasmonics technologies.
