Examples "the coldness made our breath visible" "come in out of the cold" "cold is a vasoconstrictor" Used in print (Cornell H. Mayer, "Radio Emission of the Moon...)No attempts to measure the radio_emission of the remaining planets have been reported , and , because of their distances , small diameters , or low_temperatures , the thermal radiation at radio wave_lengths reaching the earth from these sources is expected to be of very low intensity . (James A. Ibers et al., "Proton magnetic resonance...)For the low-temperature measurements the sample was cooled by a cold nitrogen gas flow method similar to that of Andrew and Eades . One sample , which had been exposed to the atmosphere after evacuation at 375 ` C , showed the presence of adsorbed water ( about 0.3 wt % ) as evidenced by a weak resonance line which was very narrow at room_temperature and which disappeared , due_to broadening , at low_temperature . (M. Yokoyama et al., "Chemical and serological...)These include low-temperature ethanol ( Cohn ) fractionation , electrophoresis , ultracentrifugation and column_chromatography on ion_exchange celluloses .
