We study the dynamics and thermodynamics of a harmonically trapped colloidal particle driven by active noise with long-range memory. The active force is modeled as a stationary Gaussian process with a power-law decay, allowing us to interpolate between short- and long-time regimes by varying {the power law exponent $\alpha$}. In the overdamped setting, we derive exact solutions for the particle's position statistics and two-time correlations, and characterize how active noise affects its relaxation spectrum. An effective temperature emerges naturally from the steady-state fluctuation-dissipation ratio, capturing the nonequilibrium character of the active bath even in the presence of thermal fluctuations. We then consider the purely active regime, where the thermal noise is switched off and the system evolves under active driving alone. In this setting, we construct the stochastic entropy balance at the trajectory level and identify a consistent definition of medium entropy using a time-dependent active temperature derived from the noise correlation function. We confirm that the total entropy production satisfies an integral fluctuation theorem, and demonstrate how the power law exponent $\alpha$ controls the degree of irreversibility: smaller $\alpha$ enhances time correlations and increases entropy production.

The strong C-F bond found in per- and poly-fluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) makes them resistant to degradation and thus persistent in the environment. One of the most common methods for quantifying PFAS in environmental matrices is to use tandem mass spectrometry. However, the dissociation of ions made by deprotonating PFAS alcohols and acids has only been qualitatively explored.

Complex face-centered-cubic (FCC) alloys frequently display chemical short-range ordering (CSRO), which can be detected through the analysis of diffuse scattering. However, the interpretation of diffuse scattering is complicated by the presence of defects and thermal diffuse scattering, making it extremely challenging to distinguish CSRO using conventional scattering techniques. This complexity has sparked intense debates regarding the origin of specific diffuse-scattering signals, such as those observed at 1/3{422} and 1/2{311} positions.

Heat stress poses a major threat to dairy cattle productivity, particularly in high-producing Holstein cows. To identify robust biomarkers of thermotolerance, we employed an integrative strategy combining physiological phenotyping, blood metabolite profiling, and transcriptomic analysis. A total of 120 lactating Holstein cows were evaluated under natural summer heat conditions using rectal temperature, respiratory rate, salivation index, serum HSP70, cortisol, potassium levels, and milk production.

Coelectrolysis of HO and CO using high-temperature solid oxide cells offers a highly efficient solution for converting greenhouse gases into valuable fuels and chemicals. Although Pt is an effective catalyst for this reaction, its high cost has limited its usage. Herein, we present that Pt-containing alloy catalysts with increased entropy exhibit high Pt utilization efficiency, catalytic performance, and thermal stability.

The behavior of blood viscosity is influenced by several physical factors, particularly hematocrit levels and vessel diameter. For a fixed hematocrit, apparent blood viscosity decreases with tube diameters in the range of 9μm to 1000μm, a phenomenon known as the Fåhræus-Lindqvist (FL) effect. Almost all existing models of the apparent blood viscosity are empirically proposed describing that viscosity exponentially increases with hematocrit.
