the objectives in the cold rolling process include improved sheet surface quality, enhanced steel mechanical strength, and better solidification operations. given the increasing demand for higher steel surface quality, more rapid production, and thinner steel plates, more attention has been directed toward the parameter of temperature in cold rolling as a means of achieving the above objectives...

Therefore to find P (S = stuck |V = static, T = cold) we need to evaluate the distribution in the denominator, P (S, V = static, T = cold). Using the sum rule, we have: P (S, V = static, T = cold) = ∑ D ∑ C ∑ J ∑ I P (D,C, S, J, I, V = static, T = cold) (4) Plugging (1) into (4), we get: P (S, V = static, T = cold) = ∑ D ∑ C ∑ J ∑ I P (D)P (C|D)P (S)P (J |D)P (I|C)P (V = static|C, S, J)P (T = c...

To assess the possibility that the renin-angiotensin system may play a role in the development of cold-induced hypertension, three groups of rats were used. Two groups were exposed to cold (5 +/- 2 degrees C) while the remaining group was kept at 26 +/- 2 degrees C. One group of cold-treated rats received food into which captopril (0.06% by weight) had been thoroughly mixed. The remaining two g...

Adjustments in mitochondrial properties and capacities are crucial in acclimatization to seasonal cold and in evolutionary cold adaptation of marine ectotherms. Although long-term compensatory increments in aerobic capacity of fish tissues have frequently been described in response to cold, much less is known about transitional phases and gene expression patterns involved. We investigated the t...

Our laboratory has been working toward increasing our understanding of the genetic control of cold hardiness in blueberry (Vaccinium section Cyanococcus) to ultimately use this information to develop more cold hardy cultivars for the industry. Here, we report using cDNA microarrays to monitor changes in gene expression at multiple times during cold acclimation under Weld and cold room condition...

F OUR trials were conducted with boar spermatozoa to determine the effects of dilution rate, seminal plasma content and extender composition on susceptibility to cold shock and the development of resistance to cold during 30 C incubation. Acrosome morphology and sperm motility were used to assess damage by cold shock. The susceptibility of boar spermatozoa to cold shock increased as the dilutio...

Reconfiguration of the metabolome is a key component involved in the acclimation to cold in plants; however, few studies have been devoted to the analysis of the overall metabolite changes after cold storage of fruits prior to consumption. Here, metabolite profiling of six peach varieties with differential susceptibility to develop mealiness, a chilling-injury (CI) symptom, was performed. Accor...

The asthmatic response to the common cold is highly variable, and early characteristics that predict worsening of asthma control following a cold have not been identified. In this prospective multicentric cohort study of 413 adult subjects with asthma, the mini-Asthma Control Questionnaire (mini-ACQ) was used to quantify changes in asthma control and the Wisconsin Upper Respiratory Symptom Surv...
