Thermal engineering of metal-organic frameworks for adsorption-based applications is very topical in view of their industrial potential, in particular, since heat management and thermal stability have been identified as important obstacles. Hence, a fundam ...
With the help of thermodynamics and system engineering techniques, we will discuss options to make a country like Switzerland 100% renewable and even negative in carbon dioxide emissions. ...

The thermodynamics and dynamics of supercooled liquids correlate with their elasticity. In particular for covalent networks, the jump of specific heat is small and the liquid is strong near the threshold valence where the network acquires rigidity. By cont ...
We studied the temperature dependence of heat capacity C-P(T) of a quasi-one-dimensional magnetic system beta-TeVO4, in a zero magnetic field and a temperature region of 0.1 K
The present work is the first of a series of papers aiming at a coherent and unified development of the thermodynamics of metabolism and the rationalization of feasibility analysis of metabolic pathways. The focus in this part is on high-level quantum chem ...

The buffer-rock barriers system is widely proved to be one of the most promising options for isolating high-level radioactive waste from the human environment. To certify the efficiency and provide the additional development regarding design and assessment ...
In the present work a thorough investigation of how small amounts of multiwall carbon nanotubes (CNTs), nanodiamonds (NDs), and combinations between them affect the properties and performance of polypropylene (PP) is presented. An improvement on the mechan ...
