Suppliers, partners, companies and dealers in supply chains do use, generate and share information with others. These associations lead to a multitude of challenges and opportunities within the supply chains. A Digital Supply Chain (DSC) is a smart, value-driven, efficient process to generate new forms of revenue and business value for organizations and to leverage new approaches with novel technological and analytical methods DSC is not about whether goods and services are digital or physical, it is about the way how supply chain processes are managed with a wide variety of innovative technologies, e.g. unmanned aerial vehicles, cloud computing, and internet of things, among others. Recent literature highlights the importance of DSC and many industrial researchers discuss its applications. This article reviews the state-of-the-art of existing DSC literature in detail from both academic and industrial points of view. It identifies key limitations and prospects in DSC, summarizes prior research and identifies knowledge gaps by providing advantages, weaknesses and limitations of individual methods The article also aims at providing a development framework as a roadmap for future research and practice.
This paper reviews the best-known differential scanning calorimetries (DSCs), such as conventional DSC, microelectromechanical systems-DSC, infrared-heated DSC, modulated-temperature DSC, gas ...flow-modulated DSC, parallel-nano DSC, pressure perturbation calorimetry, self-reference DSC, and high-performance DSC. Also, we describe here the most extensive applications of DSC in biology and nanoscience.
In this article, the adaptive finite‐time quantized and event‐triggered dynamic surface control (DSC) schemes are proposed for a class of strict‐feedback nonlinear system with time varying input ...delay. In order to ensure the completeness of the DSC method, an improved dynamic surface control method based on command filtering is adopted. The designed filtering error compensation signal can not only effectively compensate the filtering error, but also deal with the discontinuous input possessing unknown input delay. The problem of finite‐time control design and stability analysis with the difficulties brought by discontinuous input with unknown time‐varying input delay is solved through the design of the new compensation signal and the corresponding Lyapunov functional. Theoretical analysis shows that all signals in the closed‐loop system are bounded in finite time. The simulation examples also verify the effectiveness of the adaptive finite time DSC schemes proposed in this article.
•Fast DSC with liquids in the temperature range −100°C to +225°C, at scan rates up to 1000°C/s.•Reproducibility of calculated enthalpy values ca ±7%, of peak temperature values ca ±1°C.•Resolution ...for measuring lysozyme denaturation between 0.1% and 1% lysozyme solution in water by weight.•Measurements for bovine serum show good agreement with DSC results, but typically 1000× faster.•Results for olive oil give good agreement for the freezing peak, a temperature shift for the melting peak compared to DSC.
Based on a modified version of standard chips for fast differential scanning calorimetry, DSC of liquid samples has been performed at temperature scan rates of up to 1000°C/s. This paper describes experimental results with the protein lysozyme, bovine serum, and olive oil. The heating and cooling rate of the sensor is measured for temperature scan rates of up to 1300°C/s with water and 2-butanol, in the temperature range of −90°C/s to +130°C/s. The lysozyme is measured at temperature scan rates varying from 10°C/s to 400°C/s and in concentrations between 0.1% and 10% protein by weight. The bovine serum measurements show two main peaks, in good agreement with standard DSC measurements. Olive oil has been measured, with good agreement for the cooling curve and qualitative agreement for the heater curve, compared to DSC measurements.

•HP-DSC to evaluate catalyst behavior and performance under hydrothermal conditions.•Mixtures of cellulose and heterogeneous catalysts tested at 250 °C.•Siralox and FeCl3 showed the ...highest catalytic activities.•Investigation of synergies among acid and basic sites.
Catalysts are usually employed in hydrothermal processes for different purposes, such as enhancing quality and yield of produced biofuels. However, assessing catalyst performances can be time consuming and expensive. For this reason, in this work, a technique based on high pressure differential scanning calorimetry was applied to study heterogeneous catalyst behavior under hydrothermal conditions at the micro-scale. Heterogeneous catalysts were mixed with distilled water and cellulose, selected as substrate, and tested at 250 °C. The heat release profiles obtained were deconvoluted in three Gaussian peaks, each associated with a set of reactions. Siralox and iron chloride showed the highest catalytic activities impacting the development and the enthalpy of the reactions. Selected samples were further characterized to investigate synergies among acid and basic sites and emphasize the importance of the spatial distribution of the components inside the catalysts. This study highlights the crucial role of advanced techniques in optimizing catalyst performance for more efficient biofuel production.
The Rock-Eval pyrolysis-stage derived parameters such as free hydrocarbons (S1), heavier pyrolysis-hydrocarbons (S2), pyrolyzable carbon (PC) and pyrolysis Tmax (from S2 curve) have received ...considerable interest for source-rock screening and thermal maturity assessment. On the other hand, the Rock-Eval oxidation-stage S4CO2 curve, which gives the amount of residual carbon (RC), only recently has received some interest. While the pyrolysis-stage S2 temperature-peak (Tmax) is conventionally used as a maturity proxy, in this work we show that the temperature-peak of S4CO2 curve (S4Tmax) can also be used as a thermal maturity proxy for shales. For overmature and low-TOC shale samples, showing asymmetric S2 shape and concomitantly producing doubtful Tmax, the S4 curves showed symmetric nature and consequently the S4Tmax was observed to be a reliable thermal maturity estimate. While the S4Tmax clearly resolved immature and overmature shales, for the early mature and peak mature shales the S4Tmax showed overlapping values. S4Tmax of pre-pyrolyzed and pyrolyzed masses showed good positive correlation with differential scanning calorimetry temperature-peak (DSCTpeak), and consequently indicated its applicability as a thermal maturity proxy. When early mature pre-pyrolyzed samples were directly analyzed using the Rock-Eval oxidation stage, the S4 curves showed formation of two sub-peaks, and consequently the Tmax was observed to decrease. It is recommended that analysts and interpreters should thoroughly cross-check S2 curves before reporting data, and in case of asymmetric or unreliable S2 curves, the S4Tmax can be used as a maturity proxy.

A new intercalation crystalline polymer compound of bis m-nitroanilinium tetrachlorocadmate (II) {(m-C6H7N2O2)2CdCl4}n ...was synthesized and analyzed using single crystal SXRD, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), DFT analysis, thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and FT-IR, Raman, UV–Vis, fluorescence spectroscopy techniques. X-ray diffraction analyses (SXRD, PXRD) show a layered structure consisting of alternating organic bilayers and two-dimensional inorganic sheets in which each CdCl6 octahedron shares four corners with adjacent octahedra. The crystal packing is consolidated by means of classic and non-classic hydrogen bonds and π-π interactions. At room temperature photoluminescence spectra of {(m-C6H7N2O2)2CdCl4}n yield broad peaks in the 469–770 nm range with full width at half maximum (FWHM) values up to 153 nm. Besides, this compound exhibits a semiconducting behavior with bright red-light under 360 nm ultraviolet photoexcitation and possesses a large Stokes shift and direct band gap of 2.69 eV which overlaps well with solar spectrum. The CIE chromaticity coordinates of {(m-C6H7N2O2)2CdCl4}n are (x = 0.4704 and y = 0.4523). The color rendering index CRI and the low correlated color temperature CCT are 84 and 2861 K, respectively. Electronic structure (BS, DOS and PDOS), and optical properties (dielectric constant ε(ω), refractive index n(ω), reflectivity R(ω), absorption coefficient α(ω), optical conductivity σ(ω) and energy loss function L(ω) with the incident photon energy) were determined using (DFT) calculations by CASTEP code.

Reliable interpretation of the changes occurring in the samples during their heating is ensured by using more than one measurement technique. This is related to the necessity of eliminating the ...uncertainty resulting from the interpretation of data obtained by two or more single techniques based on the study of several samples analyzed at different times. Accordingly, the purpose of this paper is to briefly characterize thermal analysis techniques coupled to non-thermal techniques, most often spectroscopic or chromatographic. The design of coupled thermogravimetry (TG) with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), TG with mass spectrometry (MS) and TG with gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) systems and the principles of measurement are discussed. Using medicinal substances as examples, the key importance of coupled techniques in pharmaceutical technology is pointed out. They make it possible not only to know precisely the behavior of medicinal substances during heating and to identify volatile degradation products, but also to determine the mechanism of thermal decomposition. The data obtained make it possible to predict the behavior of medicinal substances during the manufacture of pharmaceutical preparations and determine their shelf life and storage conditions. Additionally, characterized are design solutions that support the interpretation of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) curves based on observation of the samples during heating or based on simultaneous registration of FTIR spectra and X-ray diffractograms (XRD). This is important because DSC is an inherently non-specific technique. For this reason, individual phase transitions cannot be distinguished from each other based on DSC curves, and supporting techniques are required to interpret them correctly.

Spreadsheets have amazing facilities for graphical representation of data. The computing power and the possibility to get the results without programming, interactivity by using controls make ...spreadsheets a powerful learning tool. Having as starting point an DSC curve for Indium performed between 120°C and 180°C, the shape of curve was modeled, by using Excel, under assumption that, before and after peak corresponding to melting transition, there is no dependence between specific heat of metal and temperature. Even the peak shape it not perfect symmetrical, it was modeled considering a gaussian distribution. Linear regression has been used for computing the medium values of specific heat in solid and liquid state and was used a spinner as interactive tool for peak shape control. Despite the model deficiencies, starting from specific heats, latent heat of melting and peak apex temperature it has been possible the simulation of DSC curve which was in a good correlation with the real one.
