Frost Bitten Lotus
My orchestral work "FROST BITTEN LOTUS" (苍菡吟) draws inspiration from the first piece in the Yuan dynasty's song collection "Gan He Ye (dried lotus) Eight Pieces." This is a set of sanqu (散曲, a form of classical Chinese poetry written to be sung) created by Liu Bingzhong, a Yuan dynasty writer. It's …

Hill reaction and frost hardening in cabbage
… deposited on the leaves during early morning frosts? These are searching questions and without doubt have and deserve careful answers. Answers to these questions do not come readily, rather, they are found after laborious searching. Even the Greek philosophers such as Aristotle asked …

Development of a Frost Heave Test Apparatus
Frost heave damage to roadways costs millions of dollars every year. The need for an improved understanding of the fundamental mechanisms associated with frost heave and methods for efficiently improving frost-susceptible materials prompted the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at …

Studies on the frost resistance of natural stone
This work deals with the effects of freeze-thawing on the deterioration of some types of natural stone, especially stones frequently used in old buildings in Sweden. Laboratory studies were performed mainly on Gotland sandstone. This stone has been widely used in old buildings in the whole Baltic …

Music Inspired by the Works of Robert Frost
… on Easter, my mother gave me a book of Robert Frost’s poems as a gift. As a child, I enjoyed his rhyming schemes and the characteristically simple, beautiful, natural imagery he portrayed in his verses, but the deeper meaning of the words was largely lost on me. As I grew, I would revisit the …

The fear motif in the poetry of Robert Frost
INTRODUCTION:|Historians of the future may well take their cue from W. H. Auden and refer to the first six decades of the Twentieth Century as the "Age of Anxiety". In these sixty years the world has seldom, if ever, known a time that could be considered as one completely devoid of fears and …

Evaluation and improvement of frost durability of clay bricks
In cold regions like Canada, frost action was reported to be the major cause of disintegration of brick veneer. Two approaches to ensure frost durability of clay bricks were studied in this research. One involved the evaluation of durability, while the other studied the improvement of durability …

A photogrammetric method for measuring transient frost surface roughness.
Cold-soaked fuel frost (CSFF) is a form of aircraft wing contamination that results in aerodynamic degradation. Unless a certification exemption for a specific aircraft model is provided by the FAA, an operator of an aircraft is not allowed to takeoff with CSFF on aircraft wing surfaces. To assist …

Internal frost damage in concrete - experimental studies of destruction mechanisms
… was to identify mechanisms acting at internal frost destruction of concrete. By 'internal frost destruction' is meant damage caused inside concrete that is moisture insulated from the surroundings, i.e. when no moisture exchange with the surroundings is possible during freeze-thaw. Thus, the …

Moisture Conditions and Frost Resistance of Concrete in Hydraulic Structures
… the winter conditions in Sweden, the effects of frost action may have a considerable impact on the deterioration of concrete. Both superficial and internal damage, which are suspected to have been caused by frost action, have been found in concrete in hydraulic structures. These observations have …

The influence of ageing on the salt-frost resistance of concrete
… of the influence of ageing on the salt-frost resistance of concrete. The ageing mechanisms investigated were hydration, drying and carbonation. Specimens of ‘micro’-concrete, either with OPC alone as the binder or with silica or slag as part of the binder, were freeze/thaw tested at …

Effects of the hydrophobic coating on the initiation of frost formation.
… limit the growth rate of ice crystals and retard frost formation on the hydrophobic coated surfaces. Three empirical correlations for dimensionless freezing time of single water droplets with three various static contact angles were developed. The correlations can be used to predict dimensionless …

The Interaction Between the Substrate and Frost Layer Through Condensate Distribution
"Microscopic observations of frost deposition on a variety of substrates having different contact angles, allow the quantification of substrate effects on frost structure during inception and growth. The deposition of vapor at the beginning of the frosting process on a clean glass substrate is …
