Vehicles show higher emissions at cold temperature. Nevertheless, during real world tests can be below Euro 6d-TEMP requirements. The relatively high PN from gasoline and PHEV vehicles indicate there is still room for improvement.

Peach fruits subjected for long periods of cold storage are primed to develop chilling injury once fruits are shelf ripened at room temperature. Very little is known about the molecular changes occurring in fruits during cold exposure. To get some insight into this process a transcript profiling analyses was performed on fruits from a PopDG population segregating for chilling injury CI response...

Cold dwell fatigue is a well-known problem in the titanium components of aircraft engines. The high temperature and low stress in-service conditions have been reported to give rise resistance through thermal-mechanical alleviation process. Here, tests at room component operating were performed on IMI834 alloy assess microstructural effects cold while eliminating effect chemical composition. rat...

The aim of this study was to test our hypotheses that AT1A receptors play a role in the pathogenesis of cold-induced hypertension (CIH) and in the cold-induced increase in drinking responses to ANG II. Two groups of wild-type (WT) and two groups of AT1A receptor gene knockout (AT1A-KO) mice were used (6/group). Blood pressures (BP) of the four groups were similar during the control period at ro...

OBJECTIVE To use an established biomechanical approach to quantify reflex and non-reflex responses from spastic-paretic elbow flexors in response to controlled cold and heat stimulation. METHODS Thirteen spastic-hemiplegic stroke subjects were tested in the experiment. The spastic elbow joint was stretched into extension for 50° at two speeds (5°/s and 100°/s) in a customized apparatus. Therm...

Prior to being inserted in the recipient site, grafts are typically stored for hours ex vivo at a cold temperature (4°C). However, previous research has suggested that room storage may deliver similar results. Here, I describe study on three patients examine whether (2-hair follicles each) have better survival after (4°C, 330 hair follicles) or room-temperature (21°C, environment during ...
