Abstract
Cooling rate affects the freezing temperature of water samples and of insects. Doubling the rate of cooling lowers the mean supercooling point of Cephus cinctus larvae 0.24[degree]C. Adoption of a standard rate of cooling of 1 [degree] per minute, or adjustment of other rates to this basis, is proposed.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
