the beet moth, scrobipalpa ocellatella is recognized as a widespread agricultural pest. cold hardiness strategy of the beet moth larvae was investigated through monitoring seasonal changes at supercooling points and lower lethal temperatures. furthermore, the role of microhabitat in winter survival was studied. the mean scps of the last instar larvae was not significantly different from novembe...

(a) (b) Fig. 3. (a) Observation of " 00 change of ice slab on duraluminum mold at 13. the other hand, quick freezing may produce a specific distribution of salt concentration in ice volume. However, the main result of the measurements, as it follows from Figs. 2 and 3, is the hysteresis of " 00 in the case of slow-cycle temperature change for many days. Our other experiments with different temp...

Heating decarbonisation through electrification requires the development of novel heat batteries. They should be suitable for specific application and match operation conditions domestic renewable energy sources. Supercooled liquids, often considered a drawback phase change materials, are among most promising technologies supporting heating decarbonisation. Although some studies have shed light...
