Studies on the cold hardiness of the peach-potato aphid Myzus persicae (Sulzer) [PDF]
A system incorporating a prototype automatic thermoelectric cooling method with computer-based recording of aphid supercooling points was developed and formed the basis of cold hardiness assessment. Under laboratory culture all developmental stages of

Cold hardiness and overwintering survival of the grain aphid Sitobion avenae in Northern England [PDF]
Laboratory maintained Sitobion avenae of all developmental stages had a mean inherent supercooling ability below -20°C. Acclimation alone, or in conjunction with starvation had no significant effect on supercooling.

This study investigates improvements in low-cost latent heat storage material calcium chloride hexahydrate (CaCl2.6H2O). Its melting point is between 25 and 28 °C, with relatively high enthalpy (170–190 J/g); however, this phase change material (PCM ...

Reproducing Black's experiments: freezing point depression and supercooling of water [PDF]
We carried out two historical experiments referred to by Joseph Black, one on freezing mixtures of salted water with ice and another on freezing supercooled pure water by a small disturbance. The results confirm thermodynamical predictions for the depression of the freezing point of salted water and for the latent heat of freezing of supercooled water ...

Changes of supercooling point and cold tolerance in diapausing pupae of sugar beet moth, Scrobipalpa ocellatella (Lepidoptera; Gelechiidae) [PDF]
Sugar beet moth (SBM) Scrobipalpa ocellatella (Boyd) is one of the important pests of sugar beet that causes quantitative and qualitative yield loss late in the season. Pest damage is occurred in the central buds and the root of the sugar beet plant. The

Cold hardiness of the invasive fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda in China
Fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith, 1797), a crop pest native to tropical and subtropical regions of America, has invaded and spread into most regions in China, posing a severe threat to China's agriculture.

Ring-banded spherulites in polylactide and its blends
In this paper the influence of different aspects of crystallization process on the formation of ring-banded spherulites and the transition between banded and non-banded structures in polylactide was analyzed.
