We will start with an introduction to Gibbs distributions and explain why it is useful to study the partition function of such distributions. We next describe a model of a random string evolving in Rn among random obstacles of finite width up to a fixed time T. The string dies when any part of it hits an obstacle. This model is given by a Gibbs distribution and we look at the partition function of this distribution, which is simply the probability that the string survives up to time T.

Hydrogen is an emerging renewable energy carrier to reduce the massive utilization of fossil fuels and associated environmental problems. Clean and green hydrogen can be generated by water splitting. Thermochemical, photochemical, photo-electrochemical, and PV electrolysis are some of the approaches actively pursued for generating green hydrogen.

Immunoglobulin light chain amyloidosis (AL) is caused by the aberrant production of
amyloidogenic light chains (LC) that accumulate as amyloid deposits in vital organs.
Distinct LC sequences in each patient yield distinct amyloid structures. Moreover,
different tissue microenvironments may also cause identical protein precursors to
adopt distinct amyloid structures. These reasons have contributed to the current
popular opinion that amyloid fibrils exhibit structural polymorphism. To address the
