Spontaneous nucleation at such low degrees of supercooling is unlikely, thus there are probably ice nucleating proteins or bacteria on the surface of the frog that catalyze ice formation. ❋ Unknown (2004)
It has been shown that some insects become much more susceptible to freeze injury if they are fed ice nucleating bacteria before exposure to cold temperatures, indicating that supercooling is a naturally occuring strategy for freeze-avoidant insects. ❋ Unknown (2004)
This effect, called "supercooling," allows water in the cells to remain liquid at temperatures as low as - 38° C. Polymer Lace ❋ Unknown (2009)
According to Brownridge, the effect is based on another phenomenon called supercooling, the fact that even though we all know zero degrees Celsius is the freezing point of water, water hardly ever freezes right at zero degrees. ❋ Ewillett (2010)
According to Riddle (1981), Anguispira alternata avoids freezing of its tissues by undergoing supercooling almost down to -16 °C. ❋ AYDIN (2009)
This solution is capable of supercooling to below room temperature without forming crystals. ❋ Unknown (2008)
Typically, supercooling points are lower in arctic than in temperate invertebrates. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Freeze tolerance, which appears to be an energetically less costly strategy than extended supercooling, is a common strategy in very cold regions. ❋ Unknown (2009)
That changed with development of cheaper methods for supercooling and transporting the fuel across the ocean in liquefied form, which requires 1/600th the space. ❋ Unknown (2008)
Prior to 2003, gas was primarily a regional commodity, consumed near where it was produced and transported by pipelines … That changed with development of cheaper methods for supercooling and transporting the fuel across the ocean in liquefied form, which requires 1/600th the space. ❋ Unknown (2008)
LNG's supercooling and transit requirement constitute a sizeable negative carbon footprint. ❋ Unknown (2008)
Those two previous posts covered, respectively, general stuff about taxonomy, evolution and body size (They bite, they grow to huge sizes, they locate human corpses: the snapping turtles, part I), and physiology and distribution (Snapping turtles, part II: hyperexcitability, supercooling and recolonisation of Europe in the Anthropocene). ❋ Darren Naish (2006)
They can tolerate supercooling down to - 6ºC, and specimens cooled to as low as - 9ºC have remained alive (Costanzo et al. 1999). ❋ Darren Naish (2006)
Snapping turtles, part II: hyperexcitability, supercooling, and the inevitable recolonisation of Europe in the Anthropocene ❋ Darren Naish (2006)
"It may seem fantastic, but the fact that in aqueous solution, [the] water component can be slowly supercooled to the glassy state and warmed back without the crystallization implies that, in principle, if the suitable cryoprotectant is created, cells in plants and living matter could withstand a large supercooling and survive," Bogdan explained. ❋ Unknown (2006)
Thay may be simply stting closer to enhance their supercooling abilities in cold and rainy days. ❋ AYDIN (2007)
And there is a limit as to how much supercooling can occur, if I recall. ❋ Unknown (2006)
At low degrees of supercooling, this increased curvature will completely impede ice growth along the a-axes. ❋ Unknown (2004)
These proteins are less efficient than the external ones, requiring supercooling to about - 5°C to ensure ice nucleation. ❋ Unknown (2004)
