Biological Ice Nucleation and Its Application - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

A reference for researchers in the field , as well as others with a more peripheral interest in this fascinating topic, which emerges from the quite recent (1970s) knowledge that the most active ice nuclei in nature are of biological origin. It integrates information from the scientific literature related to ice nucleation in biological systems from the fields of meteorology, bacteriology, plant physiology, crop science, physiology of cold tolerance in ectothermic animals (particularly insects), and the application of ice nucleation to medicine, cryobiology, food science, and snowmaking.
