Enzymatic degradation of biopolymers in amorphous and molten states: mechanisms and applications

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This review explains how polymer morphology and thermal state shape enzymatic degradation pathways, comparing amorphous and molten biopolymer structures. By integrating structure–reactivity principles with insights from thermodynamics and enzyme engineering, it highlights mechanisms that enable efficient polymer breakdown.

Quantum heat engine with continuum working medium

open access: yes, 2006
We introduce a new quantum heat engine, in which the working medium is a quantum system with a discrete level and a continuum. Net work done by this engine is calculated and discussed.

Experimental realization of a minimal microscopic heat engine. [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review E, 2017
Microscopic heat engines are microscale systems that convert energy flows between heat reservoirs into work or systematic motion. We have experimentally realized a minimal microscopic heat engine.

Empowering Online Adult Educators: Integrating Artificial Intelligence for Enhanced Instructional Strategies

open access: yesNew Directions for Adult and Continuing Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article explores how artificial intelligence (AI) can support online adult learning by aligning with Knowles’ four principles of andragogy: involvement, experience, problem‐centeredness, and relevance. Three activities were analyzed using a comparative case study (CCS) method.

Stochastic energetics of a Brownian motor and refrigerator driven by non-uniform temperature

open access: yes, 2014
The energetics of a Brownian heat engine and heat pump driven by position dependent temperature, known as the B\"uttiker-Landauer heat engine and heat pump, is investigated by numerical simulations of the inertial Langevin equation. We identify parameter

Characteristics of the Limit Cycle of a Reciprocating Quantum Heat Engine [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
When a reciprocating heat engine is started it eventually settles to a stable mode of operation. The approach of a first principle quantum heat engine toward this stable limit cycle is studied.

The effect of combustion type on exhaust emissions and thermal efficiency at partial load operating condition in heavy duty diesel engines

open access: yesMechanical Engineering Journal, 2020
In heavy duty diesel engines, reductions of exhaust emissions and improvement in thermal efficiency have been strongly required from a view point of the prevention of air pollution and global warming.

Mechanochemical Synthesis and Characterization of Nanostructured ErB4 and NdB4 Rare‐Earth Tetraborides

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, Volume 27, Issue 6, March 2025.
ErB4 and NdB4 nanostructured powders are produced by mechanochemical synthesis. 5 h mechanical alloying and 4 M HCl acid leaching are used in the production. ErB4 and NdB4 powders exhibit maximum magnetization of 0.4726 emu g−1 accompanied with an antiferromagnetic‐to‐paramagnetic phase transition at about TN = 18 K and 0.132 emu g−1 with a maximum at ...
