In direct calorimetry, the heat produced by a living organism is measured directly. Indirect calorimetry, by contrast, estimates heat production from the organism's oxygen (O 2) consumption and carbon ...

The DSC curve shows the melting pattern of indium, which like other pure metals melts at a clearly defined temperature called its melting point. This is considered the very beginning of the melting ...

The TGA technique measures the mass of a sample as it is heated, cooled or held at a constant temperature in a defined atmosphere. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) is ideal for characterizing the ...
