Comparison of ice crystal growth rate between nucleus and cytoplasm.

<p>The ice growth rate is compared among four nodes represent different parts of the cell (Nodes C and CS are same node in the nucleus with different diffusion setting, node B is in the middle of cytoplasm, node A is adjacent to the cell membrane). The gross diffusion modification factor for node C is set to the value as in the cell nuclear (), while the gross diffusion modification factor for species in Node CS is set to the value as in the cytoplasm (). A heterogeneous nucleation area A_e is equally given to all nodes inside cell. Initial CPA at 4.8 mol/L, Cooling rate at 0.02 (K/s). Maximum step length at 0.004 K.
