The objective of temperature control in cold storage systems is to maintain an average temperature limited by a maximum temperature deviation within the produce. Temperature is a key factor in postharvest quality that ...

In this article, an analysis of the technologies applied for the monitoring and control of the temperature of perishable products in the cold chain is presented. Also, a general description of the stages of the process ...

In humans, there are different types of cutaneous cold-sensitive afferents responsible for cold sensation and cold pain. Innocuous cold is primarily mediated by a population of slow A delta afferents, based on psychophysical ...

Low temperatures at the initial stages of rice development prevent fast germination and seedling establishment and may cause significant productivity losses. In order to develop rice cultivars exhibiting cold tolerance, ...

Food intake and plasma thyroid hormone levels (T4 and T3) were higher in pigs acclimated to cold (12°) than hot (32°) environments. The exposure of cold pigs to hot ambient temperature decreased food intake and plasma T4 ...

Food intake and plasma thyroid hormone levels (T4 and T3) were higher in pigs acclimated to cold (12°) than hot (32°) environments. The exposure of cold pigs to hot ambient temperature decreased food intake and plasma T4 ...

Microorganisms have evolved to colonize all biospheres, including extremely cold environments, facing several stressor conditions, mainly low/freezing temperatures. In general, terms, the strategies developed by cold-adapted ...

A climatology of cold fronts at the coast of State do Santa Catarina, Brazil, is established based on 10-year period (1990-1999) of NCEP-NCAR reanalysis data. The cold front passages were objectively identified taking into ...
