Socially interactive agents (SIAs) are no longer mere visions for future user interfaces, as 20 years of research and technology development has enabled the use of virtual and physical agents in day-to-day interfaces and environments. This chapter of the ACM "The Handbook on Socially Interactive Agents" reviews research on and technologies involving ...

New Alternative Mixtures of Cryoprotectants for Equine Immature Oocyte Vitrification
Equine oocyte vitrification would benefit the growing in vitro embryo production programs, but further optimization of the protocol is necessary to reach clinical efficiency.

Effects of cryoprotectant concentration and cooling rate on vitrification of aqueous solutions [PDF]
Vitrification of aqueous cryoprotectant mixtures is essential in cryopreservation of proteins and other biological samples. We report systematic measurements of critical cryoprotective agent (CPA) concentrations required for vitrification during plunge cooling from T=295 K to T=77 K in liquid nitrogen.

Can xenon in water inhibit ice growth? Molecular dynamics of phase transitions in water$-$Xe system [PDF]
Motivated by recent experiments showing the promise of noble gases as cryoprotectants, we perform molecular dynamics modeling of phase transitions in water with xenon under cooling. We study the structure and dynamics of xenon water solution as a function of temperature.

Attaining scalable storage-expansion dualism for bioartificial tissues [PDF]
The untenable dependence of cryopreservation on cytotoxic cryoprotectants has motivated the mining of biochemical libraries to identify molecular features marking cryoprotectants that may prevent ice crystal growth. It is hypothesized that such molecules may be useful across all temperatures eliminating cellular destruction due to equilibration ...

Freeze-dried microfluidic monodisperse microbubbles as a new generation of ultrasound contrast agents [PDF]
In the paper, we succeeded to freeze-dry monodisperse microbubbles without degrading their size and acoustic properties. We used microfluidic technology to generate highly monodisperse (coefficient of variation, CV<5%) microbubbles and optimized their formulation along with a cryoprotectant.
