Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. has been described as a freezing-tolerant species based on freezing-resistance assays. Nonetheless, this type of experiment does not discriminate between freezing-tolerance and freezing-avoidance mechanisms. The purpose of this paper was to determine which of these two freezing-resistance mechanisms is responsible for freezing resistance in A. thaliana. This was...

THE STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION OF THE SKIN, 2nd ed. By William Montagna. New York, Academic Press, Inc., 1962. xx, 434 pp. $16.50. In the second edition of The Structure and Function of the Skin. William Montagna communicates his enthusiasm and interest, as well as his broad knowledge of the study of the skin.

The short-range order in liquid Si, Ge and binary Six-Ge1-xalloys (x= 0.25, 0.50, 0.75) was studied by x-ray diffraction reverse Monte Carlo simulations. Experiments were performed the normal supercooled states using containerless technique of aerodynamic levitation with CO2laser heating, enabling deeper supercooling Si Si-Ge alloys than previously reported. local atomic structure resembles the...

Wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) can be used to repair blades or blisk made of titanium alloy with the advantage high efficiency and low-cost. In this work, finite element model repairing blade based on heat source was established investigate it. Results showed that maximum effect thermal undercooling appeared when peak current transformed base (1 Hz 5 Hz), which will promote grains refin...
