Molecular Physiology of Freeze Tolerance in Vertebrates [PDF]
Physiological Reviews, 2017 Freeze tolerance is an amazing winter survival strategy used by various amphibians and reptiles living in seasonally cold environments. These animals may spend weeks or months with up to ∼65% of their total body water frozen as extracellular ice and no physiological vital signs, and yet after thawing they return to normal life within a few hours.

Activity Based Tolerance Allocation (ABTA) – Driving tolerance synthesis by evaluating its global cost [PDF]
, 2009 This paper deals with tolerance allocation driven by an activity based approach. Its main objective is to rationally give a good indicator of the relevance of tolerances values fixed by designers.

Freeze tolerance in an arctic Alaska stonefly [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2009 SUMMARY Most aquatic insects do not survive subzero temperatures and, for those that do, the physiology has not been well characterized. Nemoura arctica is a species of stonefly widely distributed throughout arctic and subarctic Alaska.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Temperatures had a strong effect on many life history traits, including growth, development and reproduction. At near-freezing temperatures (0–4°C), yeast cells could trigger series of biochemical reactions to respond and adapt to the stress, protect ...

Inner ear tissue preservation by rapid freezing: Improving fixation by high-pressure freezing and hybrid methods. [PDF]
, 2014 In the preservation of tissues in as 'close to life' state as possible, rapid freeze fixation has many benefits over conventional chemical fixation. One technique by which rapid freeze-fixation can be achieved, high pressure freezing (HPF), has been ...

Evolution of freezing susceptibility and freezing tolerance in terrestrial arthropods
Comptes Rendus. Biologies, 2002 Arthropods have evolved various adaptations to survive adverse seasons and it has long been discussed why some arthropods are freezing-susceptible and some are freezing-tolerant. However, which mode of frost resistance came first during the course of evolution?

Plant Methods, 2008 Background Freezing tolerance is an important factor in the geographical distribution of plants and strongly influences crop yield. Many plants increase their freezing tolerance during exposure to low, nonfreezing temperatures in a process termed cold ...

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016 Plants adapted to cold winters go through annual cycles of gain followed by loss of freezing tolerance (cold acclimation and deacclimation). Warm spells during winter and early spring can cause deacclimation, and if temperatures drop, freezing damage may

Tolerance analysis approach based on the classification of uncertainty (aleatory / epistemic) [PDF]
, 2012 Uncertainty is ubiquitous in tolerance analysis problem. This paper deals with tolerance analysis formulation, more particularly, with the uncertainty which is necessary to take into account into the foundation of this formulation.

Deletion of NTH1 and HSP12 increases the freeze–thaw resistance of baker’s yeast in bread dough
Microbial Cell Factories, 2022 Background The intracellular molecule trehalose in Saccharomyces cerevisiae may have a major protective function under extreme environmental conditions. NTH1 is one gene which expresses trehalase to degrade trehalose.
