✦ Synopsis

A protein-based foam is used as a plant cover to prevent plant damage from frost. The effectiveness of this method depends considerably on the synoptic situation which produced the frost. Experimental microclimatic data is presented on the degree and duration of protection from such a foam against low nocturnal temperature arising from a radiative and an advective frost.

We hypothesized that an increase in plasma iron binding capacity would decrease the generation of oxygen radicals and of lipid peroxides. To test this hypothesis, we studied whether supplementation of transferrin (TF) in premature rabbits would modify the degree of hyperoxic lung injury. Animals, de
