Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2022 In temperate, polar and montane environments, ectotherms must find ways to endure throughout the coldest months of the year. Lizards search for microsites where temperatures remain warm or alter their biochemical balance to tolerate freezing or avoid it ...

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

Frazil dynamics and precipitation in a water column with depth-dependent supercooling [PDF]
, 2005 When seawater becomes supercooled, collections of small ice crystals, known as frazil ice, form and grow. A model of frazil ice dynamics is presented that deals explicitly with the buoyant settling of frazil crystals onto an overlying surface.

Quasisaddles as relevant points of the potential energy surface in the dynamics of supercooled liquids [PDF]
The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2002 The supercooled dynamics of a Lennard-Jones model liquid is numerically investigated studying relevant points of the potential energy surface, i.e., the minima of the square gradient of total potential energy V. The main findings are (i) the number of negative curvatures n of these sampled points appears to extrapolate to zero at the mode coupling ...

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.HEA interlayers offer a versatile route for joining high‐performance structural materials. Their compositional and structural design regulates interfacial reactions, suppresses brittle IMCs, and improves metallurgical bonding. Sandwich interlayers further integrate defect healing with precipitation strengthening, enabling improved strength–ductility ...
