Effect of the curing conditions of concrete on the behaviour under freeze-thaw cycles [PDF]
, 2011 The aim of this work is to relate the curing conditions of concrete and the addition of an air-entraining admixture with the damage caused by freeze–thaw cycles. In countries with a continental climate, the curing of concrete in summer is performed under

Analysis of the effect of rock salt on grout's freeze-thaw strength with the Taguchi Method
, 2022 Grouting is the injection of mixtures with high pressure into the voids, cracks, or pores that may exist in the soil. In the case of rock salt being present in the formations where the grouting is performed, studies on the effects of this salt presence ...

Effect of freeze-thaw cycles on shear strength of unsaturated bentonite modified clay [PDF]
, 2021 Freeze–thaw cycles is a seasonal process which occurs in many north regions of soils. Understanding the effects of freeze–thaw cycle on the physico-mechanical behaviours of soils is critical for construction stabilisation and reduce the freeze-thaw ...

Freeze–thaw cycles as drivers of complex ribozyme assembly [PDF]
Nature Chemistry, 2015 The emergence of an RNA catalyst capable of self-replication is considered a key transition in the origin of life. However, how such replicase ribozymes emerged from the pools of short RNA oligomers arising from prebiotic chemistry and non-enzymatic replication is unclear.

Accelerating DNA computing via freeze-thaw cycling
Science Advances, 2023 DNA computing harnesses the immense potential of DNA molecules to enable sophisticated and transformative computational processes but is hindered by low computing speed. Here, we propose freeze-thaw cycling as a simple yet powerful method for high-speed DNA computing without complex procedures.

Water absorption and chloride diffusivity of concrete under the coupling effect of uniaxial compressive load and freeze-thaw cycles [PDF]
, 2019 In cold coastal area, the destruction mechanism of reinforced concrete structures is mainly governed by a combination of factors such as self-loading, freeze-thaw and chloride erosion. In this study, ordinary cube concretes (C30 and C50, while w/c = 0.53

Freeze-Thaw Cycles Enhance Decellularization of Large Tendons [PDF]
Tissue Engineering Part C: Methods, 2013 The use of decellularized tendon tissue as a scaffold for tendon tissue engineering provides great opportunities for future clinical and current research applications. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of repetitive freeze-thaw cycles and two different detergents, t-octyl-phenoxypolyethoxyethanol (Triton X-100) and sodium dodecyl sulfate ...
