Morphology of the Human Pineal Gland Studied by Freeze-Fracturing in Scanning Electron Microscopy [PDF]

Life
The human pineal gland is the largest producer of the hormone melatonin. Pineal acervuli (brain sand), calcified concretions in the pineal gland, have long been studied because of their association with ageing, melatonin production, and neurological ...

Freeze fracturing of elastic porous media: a mathematical model. [PDF]

Proc Math Phys Eng Sci, 2015
We present a mathematical model of the fracturing of water-saturated rocks and other porous materials in cold climates. Ice growing inside porous rocks causes large pressures to develop that can significantly damage the rock.

Cryopreservation Method for Preventing Freeze-Fracture of Small Muscle Samples [PDF]

Bio-Protocol
Histological techniques to study muscle are crucial for assessing skeletal muscle health. To preserve tissue morphology, samples are usually fixed in formaldehyde or cryopreserved immediately after excision from the body.

Pore structure and fractal analysis of coal subjected to multiple treatments based on nuclear magnetic resonance

Energy Science & Engineering, 2022
Microwave heating (MW) and freeze fracturing (FF) have been widely used for enhancing the permeability of coal reservoirs. In this paper, the effects of combined MW–FF treatments on coals are experimentally investigated through nuclear magnetic resonance.
