In-plane frost growth on chilled hydrophobic surfaces is an inter-droplet phenomenon, where frozen droplets harvest water from neighboring supercooled liquid droplets to grow ice bridges that propagate across the surface in a chain reaction. To date, no surface has been able to passively prevent the in-plane growth of ice bridges across the population of supercooled condensate. Here, we demonst...

[1] In this paper we present radiative-convective simulations to test the idea that tropical cirrus clouds, acting as a negative feedback on climate, can provide a solution to the faint young Sun paradox. We find that global mean surface temperatures above freezing can indeed be found for luminosities larger than about 0.8 (corresponding to 2.9 Ga and nearly complete tropical cirrus coverage). ...

cold stress is one of the important factors which will reduce crop yield and fruit production in world. Early spring cooling and freezing weather is mostly. Possible this may considerable damage pistachio productions and farmer will lose most of their profit. Therefore study which show how pistachio plant cope freezing weather is valuable and important. The special role of amino acid in plant r...

In high-latitude regions, the cold hardiness of buds and canes grapevine is important for budburst time yield in next season. The freezing resistance sampled from six wine grapes currently cultivated Hokkaido, Japan, all them grown autumn to winter, was investigated. A significant difference between cultivars their detected harvested winter. addition, outstanding differences lower temperature e...
