Recent advances in the fundamental theories in cryobiology using thermodynamic principles have created new opportunities for innovative methodologies in cryobiology. This thesis tested the hypothesis that calculated indicators of the two-factor hypothesis of cryoinjury, depending on cellular...

Comparative Surface Thermodynamic Analysis of New Fluid Phase Formation in Various Confining Geometries
DownloadSpring 2012
For a pure bulk (unconfined) fluid, phase transition happens at the saturation pressure. In contrast, for a fluid inside a confinement of small size (commonly below micrometers), vapour and liquid coexistence may happen at pressures other than the saturation pressure; or an expected phase...

Spring 2010
Mathematical modelling of cellular osmotic responses to low temperatures is being increasingly used to overcome obstacles in the successful cryopreservation of cells and tissues. Current cryobiological models often contain simplifying assumptions regarding the solution behaviour of the...
