Cryonics. Cryonics (from Greek: κρύος kryos meaning 'cold') is the low-temperature freezing (usually at −196 °C or −320.8 °F or 77.1 K) and storage of human remains, with the speculative hope that resurrection may be possible in the future. [1][2] Cryonics is regarded with skepticism within the mainstream scientific community.
Cryopreservation. Cryogenically preserved samples being removed from a dewar of liquid nitrogen. Cryopreservation or cryoconservation is a process where biological material - cells, tissues, or organs - are frozen to preserve the material for an extended period of time. [1] At low temperatures (typically −80 °C (−112 °F) or −196 °C ...
Cryogenics technology using liquid nitrogen and CO 2 has been built into nightclub effect systems to create a chilling effect and white fog that can be illuminated with colored lights. Cryogenic cooling is used to cool the tool tip at the time of machining in manufacturing process. It increases the tool life.
Kalama: This Hawaiian name has a much tougher meaning than the pretty sound of it might suggest: “flaming torch.”. Mackenzie: Now widely considered a baby girl name, Mackenzie’s Scottish ...
Hypothermia is defined as a body core temperature below 35.0 °C (95.0 °F) in humans. [2] Symptoms depend on the temperature. In mild hypothermia, there is shivering and mental confusion. In moderate hypothermia, shivering stops and confusion increases. [3] In severe hypothermia, there may be hallucinations and paradoxical undressing, in which ...
Photosynthesis can occur under ice up to 20 m thick, and at the temperatures predicted by models, equatorial sublimation would prevent equatorial ice thickness from exceeding 10 m. [88] As eggs and dormant cells and spores deep-frozen into ice during the most severe phases of the frozen period. In small regions of open sea water: polynya. These ...
Legend of a Vessel. The Octavius was a legendary 18th century ghost ship. According to the story, the three-masted schooner was found west of Greenland by the whaler Herald on 11 October 1775. Boarded as a derelict, the five-man boarding party found the entire crew of 28 below deck: dead, frozen, and almost perfectly preserved.
Frostbite is a skin injury that occurs when someone is exposed to extremely low temperatures, causing the freezing of the skin or other tissues, [1] commonly affecting the fingers, toes, nose, ears, cheeks and chin areas. [6] Most often, frostbite occurs in the hands and feet. [7][8] The initial symptoms are typically a feeling of cold and ...
