Abstract: The thermodynamics of intracellular ice nucleation are important in low-temperature biology for understanding and controlling the process of cell destruction by freezing. We have developed a new ...

Abstract: The process of freezing in healthy lung tissue and in tumors in the lung during cryosurgery was modeled using one-dimensional close form techniques and finite difference techniques to determine ...

Abstract: This study examines the effect of thermal hysteresis proteins (THPs) from the winter flounder (Psuedopleuronectes americanus ) on the ice-water interface morphology during freezing of aqueous ...

Abstract: Recently, a new microsensor employing low-velocity ultrasonic Lamb waves was developed and demonstrated to be capable of measuring the viscosity of solutions in small volumes. The microsensor, ...

Abstract: Cryosurgery of the skin is a common treatment for both benign and malignant skin cancers. Monitoring the depth of the frozen lesion during cryosurgery, either by estimation based on the lateral ...
