Plastic pipes. Plastic used for pipe include Saran, Tenite, Plastitube, and polyvinyl chloride. The materials are useful for water-supply pipes and for the conveyance of some corrosive liquids at a moderate temperature and pressure... Among the advantage claimed for plastics... may be included freedom from corrosion, freedom from damage due to freezing of water in a closed pipe, acid resistance for solutions up to about 10 per cent concentration, light weight..., easy bending and joining, and adequate strength. 2, record 1, English, - plastic%20pipe

As defined in the Webster's New Universal Unabridged Dictionary, cryonics is "the practice of freezing the body of a person who has just died in order to preserve it for possible resuscitation in the future, as when a cure for the disease that caused death has been found. "If future molecular-repair technology can repair damage caused by cryopreservation(including freezing-damage), cure all diseases and stop(and reverse) biological aging--then cryonics is the "first aid" which can preserve contemporary humans for future science.... Cryonics is to be distinguished from cryogenics, the physics of low temperature, and cryobiology, the science of low-temperature effects on biological systems. 2, record 4, English, - Cryonics%20Society%20of%20Canada

Samples are jet frozen under pressure between two metal sample hats or planchettes. In operation, specimens are subjected to a pressure of 2100 bar for a few milliseconds followed by jet freezing with liquid nitrogen under the same pressure. The water of the sample is vitrified under this regime and ice-crystals are retarded, thereby avoiding structural damage to the specimen by ice-crystal formation. Cryoprotectants may not be required, thus eliminating the possibility of induced artifacts. 1, record 5, English, - jet%20freezing

In vitro freezing of tissue. Early attempts at studying the effects of speed and final temperature of freezing of tissue slices on cellular damage had difficulty in separating these parameters. Rubinsky and co-workers developed a method of controlled freezing of tissue slices on a microscope slide moving along a temperature gradient between two constant temperature bases. They were able to freeze animal and human liver tissue with a constant cooling rate. Their experiments revealed that high cooling rates will result in intracellular ice formation and probably immediate cell death, representing the clinical situation very close to the cryoprobe. Lower cooling rates resulting in cellular dehydration and extracellular ice formation with large ice crystals propagating along the sinusoids, expanding them by a factor of two in diameter. 1, record 6, English, - final%20temperature%20of%20freezing

Ice storms, also referred to as glaze storms, cause considerable damage every year to trees and power lines. Ice accumulates when super cooled rain freezes on contact with surfaces, such as tree branches, that are at or below the freezing point.
