Molar heat capacities of 2,3,6-trimethylpyridine, 2,4,6-trimethylpyridine and 3-methoxypropionitrile in the liquid state were measured at the constant atmospheric pressure in the temperature interval of 300.60 to 328.35 K. The static type of adiabatic calorimeter was used for the measurements.

AbstractBirch tar is the oldest manmade adhesive dating back to the European Middle Palaeolithic. Its study is of importance for understanding the cognitive capacities and technical skills of Neanderthals and the aceramic production systems employed in the European Palaeolithic and Mesolithic. Several methods may have been used to make birch tar, the most common proposition being dry distillation in oxygen-depleted atmospheres. One of the major impediments for our understanding of the conditions employed to make Neanderthal birch tar, and ultimately the technique used, is that it remains unknown at which temperatures exactly birch tar forms. The relationship between heating duration and tar formation is also unknown. To address these questions, we conduct a laboratory heating experiment, using sealed glass tubes and an electric furnace. We found that birch tar is only produced at a narrow temperature interval (350 °C and 400 °C). Heating times longer than 15 min have no effect on the quantity of tar produced. These findings, notwithstanding previous propositions of necessarily long heating times and larger tolerances for temperature, have important implications for our understanding of the investment in time needed for Palaeolithic birch tar making.

Urea, with NaCl, constitutes the osmotic gradient that allows water reabsorption in mammalian kidneys. Because NaCl induces heat shock proteins, we tested the responses to heat shock of mIMCD3 cells adapted to permissive urea and/or NaCl concentrations. We found that heat-induced cell death was stronger after adaptation to 250 mM urea. This effect was reversible, dose dependent, and, interestingly, blunted by 125 mM NaCl. Moreover, we have shown that urea-adapted cells engaged in an apoptotic pathway upon heat shock, as shown by DNA laddering. This sensitization is not linked to a defect in the heat shock response, because the induction of HSP70 was similar in isotonic and urea-adapted cells. Moreover, it is not linked to the presence of urea inside cells, because washing urea away did not restore heat resistance and because applying urea and heat shock at the same time did not lead to heat sensitivity. Together, these results suggest that urea modifies the heat shock response, leading to facilitated apoptosis.

Abstract An improved low-temperature brittleness tester, capable of testing five specimens simultaneously, is described. All machine specifications conform to A.S.T.M. Method D 746-44T. Data are presented which show that many elastomers do not possess a sharp brittle point but are characterized by a distribution of failures over a temperature interval. The improved brittleness tester makes it possible to carry out the necessary statistical study of the distribution of per cent failures versus temperature with a reasonable amount of work. A simple analysis of the resulting distribution curve is presented.
