Article Abstract

Using the Metropolis algorithm, we simulate the relaxation process of the three-dimensional kinetic Ising model. Starting from a random initial configuration, we first present the average equilibration time across the entire phase boundary. It is observed that the average equilibration time increases significantly as the temperature decreases far from the critical temperature T_{c}. The average equilibration time along the first-order phase transition (1st-PT) line exhibits an ultraslow relaxation. We also investigate the dynamic scaling behavior with system sizes, and find that dynamic scaling holds not only near T_{c}, but also at T≪T_{c}. The dynamic exponent at T≪T_{c} is larger than that near T_{c}. Additionally, we analyze the dynamic scaling of the average autocorrelation time and find that it depends on system size only near T_{c}, while it becomes size-independent both above and below T_{c}. The extremely slow relaxation dynamics observed near the 1st-PT is attributed to the complex structure of the free energy.

An ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method was established to determine -(1,3-dimethylbutyl)--phenyl--phenylenediamine-quinone (6PPD-Q) in human urine and dust in order to understand the internal and external exposure levels in humans. The sample preparation conditions were systematically investigated and the chromatographic conditions and MS parameters were optimized. Briefly, internal standard C-6PPD-Q (0.

Advancements in optimizing n-type BiTeSe (BTS) thermoelectrics prioritize integrating 2D nanoarchitectures, driven by their demonstrated capacity to inhibit lattice thermal conductivity while enhancing charge carrier mobility. Herein, interfacial engineering of van der Waals-integrated MoS nanosheets is proposed to achieve dual phonon-charge regulation. Through epitaxial growth at BTS grain boundaries and -axis alignment, these 2D layers establish periodic heterojunctions that selectively scatter broad-frequency phonons, while their intrinsic high carrier mobility preserves electrical conductivity.

Understanding cooperative binding is essential for characterizing interactions between multimeric proteins and their ligands, because biological function often depends on binding stoichiometry or allosteric regulation. Detailed characterization of cooperativity, in turn, requires determination of the equilibrium dissociation constants for each binding step (, ,..

Background: Daily cycles in tissue osmolarity within the intervertebral disc (IVD) are a biophysical signal that regulates cellular metabolism and arise from deformation of the charged and hydrated extracellular matrix (ECM). However, the magnitude of these osmotic cycles remains unclear due to spatial variations in ECM composition and fixed charge density (FCD) between the regions of the IVD and between the pericellular matrix (PCM) and surrounding ECM. This study aimed to (1) validate the use of laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) to assess intra-tissue sodium content and (2) apply this method to assess temporal and spatial changes in intra-tissue sodium content during a diurnal loading cycle.
