  2. Cryopreservation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryopreservation

    Migration of water, causing extracellular ice formation, can also cause cellular dehydration. The associated stresses on the cell can cause damage directly. Intracellular ice formation While some organisms and tissues can tolerate some extracellular ice, any appreciable intracellular ice is almost always fatal to cells.

  3. Pulsed-power water treatment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulsed-power_water_treatment

    Pulsed-power water treatment is the process of using pulsed, electro-magnetic fields into cooling water to control scaling, biological growth, and corrosion. The process does not require the use of chemicals and helps eliminate environmental and health issues associated with the use and life-cycle management of chemicals used to treat water. [ 1 ]

  4. Cold and heat adaptations in humans - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_and_heat_adaptations...

    It is limited by the amount of water available in the body, which can cause dehydration. [5] Humans adapted to heat early on. In Africa, the climate selected for traits that helped them stay cool. Also, humans had physiological mechanisms that reduced the rate of metabolism and that modified the sensitivity of sweat glands to provide an ...

  5. Cold hardening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_hardening

    Cold increases cell membrane permeability [4] and makes the cell shrink, as water is drawn out when ice is formed in the extracellular matrix between cells. [2] To retain the surface area of the cell membrane so it will be able to regain its former volume when temperature rises again, the plant forms more and stronger Hechtian strands .

  6. Thermoregulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoregulation

    Thermoregulation is the ability of an organism to keep its body temperature within certain boundaries, even when the surrounding temperature is very different. A thermoconforming organism, by contrast, simply adopts the surrounding temperature as its own body temperature, thus avoiding the need for internal thermoregulation.

    But in cold weather, the water sandwiched inside the soap has a chance to freeze before the bubble pops. As soon as you touch them, however, the heat from your fingers will melt the bubble.

  8. Hypothermia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothermia

    Hypothermia can happen in most mammals in cold weather and can be fatal. Baby mammals such as kittens are unable to regulate their body temperatures and have a risk of hypothermia if they are not kept warm by their mothers. Many animals other than humans often induce hypothermia during hibernation or torpor. [citation needed]
