Heat capacity is the quantity of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a substance by 1°C. It is a measure of how well a substance stores heat. Numerically it is represented by the mass of a substance multiplied by that substance's...

ABSTRACT We construct a Hamiltonian for a single domain protein where the contact enthalpy and the chain entropy decrease linearly with the number of native contacts. The hydration effect upon protein unfolding is included by modeling water as ideal dipoles that are ordered around...

Paper drying is one of the most energy-intensive processes in paper manufacture. An inadequate drying section is often the only limitation on an immediate gain in tonnage for a paper mill. A new type of paper dryer called the Gas-Heated Paper Dryer (GHPD),...

Warming: As protesters pose sans clothing on an Alpine glacier, a new study documents how puny man's effect on climate is and how futile are attempts to change it.Hundreds of people recently posed naked on Switzerland's Aletsch glacier as part of a Greenpeace campaign to...
