Fluorescence anisotropy as a method to examine the thermodynamics of enantioselectivity
Article Abstract:
A new method is evaluated whereby enanatioselective binding is examined by use of steady-state fluorescence anisotropy measurements. It is shown that the natural logarithm of the ratio of anisotropy values of two enantiomers varied as a function of temperature in a manner where the slope and intercept are directly related to the differential enthalpy and entropy of the enantioselective interaction.

Thermodynamics on the nanoscale
Article Abstract:
A study using classical thermodynamics to the melting of nanometer-sized lead (Sn) particles with radii in the range of 5-50 nanometer (nm) was conducted. The experimental measurement of both melting temperatures and latent heat of fusion allowed for the estimation of the thickness of the perturbed layer.

Nanoconformal interaction models and thermodynamics of polar fluids
Article Abstract:
The study developed a simple potential model for polar molecules, which represents effectively and accurately the thermodynamics of dilute gases. The model is used to predict the critical temperature of Stockmayer fluids for variable dipole moment and is applied to HCL as an example of a real molecule.
