Different kinds of freezing-point regulators were evaluated to expand the freezing point zone of large yellow croaker, and several treatment methods such as ordinary atmospheric pressure, vacuum environment and injection during the process of penetration were compared to reveal the relationship of diffusion velocities, diffusion time and freezing point of the large yellow croaker. Results obtai...

We study the submonolayer diffusion of hard disks and rodlike molecules on smooth surfaces through numerical simulations and theoretical arguments. We concentrate on the behavior of the various diffusion coefficients as a function of the two-dimensional (2D) number density rho in the case where there are no explicit surface-particle interactions. For the hard disk case, we find that while the t...

A variety of studies have implicated the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) in fear, including permanent storage of fear memory. Recent pharmacological and genetic studies indicate that early synaptic plasticity in the ACC may also contribute to certain forms of fear memory at early time points. However, no study has directly examined the possible changes in neuronal activity of ACC neurons in fre...

The consequences of broad-scale alterations in magnesium (Mg2+) levels on learning and memory are poorly understood. We have recently demonstrated that adult male mice maintained on an Mg2+-deficient diet exhibit reduced conditional freezing behavior. The purpose of the present study was to determine if the detrimental effect of Mg2+ deficiency in mice extended to another measure of conditional...

The response of woody plant tissues to freezing temperature has evolved into two distinct behaviors: an avoidance strategy, in which intracellular water supercools, and a freeze-tolerance strategy, where cells tolerate the loss of water to extracellular ice. Although both strategies involve extracellular ice formation, supercooling cells are thought to resist freeze-induced dehydration. Dehydri...

A new definition of the freezing phenomenon is given in relation with behavior entropy Gibbs measures at low temperatures. In particular, for uncorrelated and log-correlated Gaussian models, we show that arises when corresponding vanishes.
