Protein-based fluorescent bioassay for low-dose gamma radiation exposures

Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry - The study suggests an application of a coelenteramide-containing fluorescent protein (CLM-CFP) as a simplest bioassay for gamma radiation exposures....     

Confined‐Volume Effect on the Thermal Properties of Encapsulated Phase Change Materials for Thermal Energy Storage

We have encapsulated the heat exchange material, n‐docosane, into polyurethane capsules of different sizes. Decreasing the size of the capsules leads to changes of the crystallinity of phase‐change material as well as melting/crystallization temperature. The novelty of the paper includes 1) protection of the nanostructured energy‐enriched materials against environment during storage and controlled release of the encapsulated energy on demand and 2) study of the structure and surface‐to‐volume properties of the energy‐enriched materials dispersed in capsules of different sizes. The stability of energy nanomaterials, influence of capsule diameter on their energy capacity, homogeneity and operation lifetime are investigated.
