European Journal of Entomology, 2007 Seasonal variations in the supercooling point, survival at low temperatures and sugar content were studied in field-collected codling moth larvae. The supercooling point of field-collected larvae decreased significantly from a mean value of -13.4°C in ...

Ring-banded spherulites in polylactide and its blends
Polymer Testing, 2021 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.

Saddle points and dynamics of Lennard-Jones clusters, solids, and supercooled liquids [PDF]
The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2002 The properties of higher-index saddle points have been invoked in recent theories of the dynamics of supercooled liquids. Here we examine in detail a mapping of configurations to saddle points using minimization of |∇E|2, which has been used in previous work to support these theories.

Fickian crossover and length scales from two point functions in supercooled liquids [PDF]
The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2006 Particle motion of a Lennard-Jones supercooled liquid near the glass transition is studied by molecular dynamics simulations. We analyze the wave vector dependence of relaxation times in the incoherent self-scattering function and show that at least three different regimes can be identified and its scaling properties determined. The transition from one

Overwintering strategy and mechanisms of cold tolerance in the codling moth (Cydia pomonella). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 BACKGROUND: The codling moth (Cydia pomonella) is a major insect pest of apples worldwide. Fully grown last instar larvae overwinter in diapause state. Their overwintering strategies and physiological principles of cold tolerance have been insufficiently

Atomistic and coarse-grained simulations reveal increased ice nucleation activity on silver iodide surfaces in slit and wedge geometries [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2022 Ice clouds can form at low and moderate supercooling through heterogeneous ice nucleation on atmospheric particles. Typically, the nucleation requires active sites with special chemical and physical properties, including surface topology and roughness ...
