DSC studies of freezing in terrestrial enchytraeids (Annelida: oligochaeta)

Specimens of six enchytraeid species from a wide range of terrestrial habitats were cooled to -25 degree C and rewarmed at 1 degree C/min and their cryobiological features measured by DSC. All were freezing intolerant, supercooling on average to c.-9 degree C. The quantity of frozen (osmotically active) water, calculated from the melt endotherm, varied considerably from 17 to 62% depending on the species and formed three groups. It is suggested that variation in the amount of water frozen in the worms reflects the acclimatisation of these species to the environmental conditions of their habitats.     

Suppression of ice nucleation in supercooled water under temperature gradients

Understanding the behaviours of ice nucleation in non-isothermal conditions is of great importance for the preparation and retention of supercooled water. Here ice nucleation in supercooled water under temperature gradients is analyzed thermodynamically based on classical nucleation theory (CNT). Given that the free energy barrier for nucleation is dependent on temperature, different from a uniform temperature usually used in CNT, an assumption of linear temperature distribution in the ice nucleus was made and taken into consideration in analysis. The critical radius of the ice nucleus for nucleation and the corresponding nucleation model in the presence of a temperature gradient were obtained. It is observed that the critical radius is determined not only by the degree of supercooling, the only dependence in CNT, but also by the temperature gradient and even the Young's contact angle. Effects of temperature gradient on the change in free energy, critical radius, nucleation barrier and nucleation rate with different contact angles and degrees of supercooling are illustrated successively. The results show that a temperature gradient will increase the nucleation barrier and decrease the nucleation rate, particularly in the cases of large contact angle and low degree of supercooling. In addition, there is a critical temperature gradient for a given degree of supercooling and contact angle, at the higher of which the nucleation can be suppressed completely.     

Chill tolerance in the tropical beetle Stenotarsus rotundus

The tropical beetle Stenotarsus rotundus (Endomychidae) survived chilling at mildly low temperatures (above +5 degree C). With upper limit of cold injury zone (ULCIZ, the highest temperature that causes cold injury) well above freezing point, the supercooling ability (mean supercooling point - SCP; -11 degree C) has no cryoprotective importance. Mortality increases rapidly between -9 and +5 degree C, dependent on accumulated dose of chilling (sum of injurious temperatures - SIT; 2 degree-days below ULCIZ). The cold hardiness traits found in this species are by-products of deep diapause, and may serve as pre-adaptation for expansion into cooler regions.     

Freezing of a Lennard-Jones fluid: from nucleation to spinodal regime

Using molecular dynamics, we investigate the crystal nucleation in a Lennard-Jones fluid as a function of the degree of supercooling. At moderate supercooling, a nucleation picture applies, while for deeper quenches, the phenomenon progressively acquires a spinodal character. We show that in the nucleation regime, the freezing is a two-step process. The formation of the critical nucleus is indeed preceded by the abrupt formation of a precritical crystallite from a density fluctuation in the fluid. In contrast, as the degree of supercooling is increased, crystallization proceeds in a more continuous and collective fashion and becomes more spatially diffuse, indicating that the liquid is unstable and crystallizes by a spinodal mechanism.

Survival of freezing by free-living Antarctic soil nematodes

Free-living microbivorous nematodes become numerically dominant in Antarctic terrestrial faunas as environmental conditions become more severe, while also reaching very high levels of abundance in moist, vegetated habitats. Nematodes have little resistance to freezing via exogenous ice nucleation, such as would occur as their microhabitat freezes. We report the results of experiments testing the ability of seven maritime Antarctic nematode taxa to survive freezing in small water droplets at high sub-zero temperatures. Isolated individuals of these species possessed supercooling characteristics similar to those previously reported (supercooling points -6 to -25 degree C). When frozen in water at -3 to -6 degree C, most showed high (> 70%) survival both (i) after rapid cooling (1 degree C/min) to c. -60 degree C followed by immediate rewarming, and (ii) when held for 7-12 h at either -10 or -30 degree C, although the proportions surviving varied between species. We propose that the ability to survive freezing while fully hydrated at high sub-zero temperatures is one of the most important aspects of these species' survival tactics.

Ectoine hydration,aggregation and influence on water structure

Neutron diffraction with isotopic H/D substitution on water, augmented by Empirical Potential Structure Refinement has been applied to extract the hydration properties of the osmolyte zwitterionic ectoine at 1.5?M concentration. This has evidenced differences between the hydration of COO^? and NH groups, both in terms of number of water molecules involved in the hydration shell and of three-dimensional symmetry. Signatures of ectoine–ectoine contacts, due to hydrogen bonds, have been found, as possible precursors of ectoine aggregation at higher concentrations. The influence of ectoine on the water structure is ascribed to the dipolar electric field generated by the exposed charges of ectoine.     

Effect of gypsum on the strength development of portland cement by Mössbauer spectrometry

Portland cement was prepared by adding 1,3,5 and 6 wt% gypsum to Egyptian clinker. Each sample was mixed with 25wt% water and was hydrated at 1,3,7,28 and 90 days. The Mössbauer spectra showed two doublets, one represents the tetrahedral ferric ions and the other the octahedral ferric ions in addition to the iron metal. The degree of hydration was calculated from the spectra. The compressive strength test was performed. The time at which complete hydration takes place and the corresponding value of compressive strength were expected by calculations. The 5wt% sample showed the highest value of strength at the same degree of hydration. It showed also the lowest degree of hydration at the same value of compressive strength. It could be concluded that the optimum amount of gypsum addition should be 5 wt%, and the rate of hydration didn't affect by the different amount of gypsum.
