the expressions of “esoteric” and “esotericism” have a wide range of meanings, however, they specifically apply to religious, mystical, and philosophical secret schools. in ancient greek world, i.e. before the hellenistic era, we come across some currents with esoteric tendencies. the various texts from this period show that the ancient greeks sought the source of the esoteric currents outside ...

We studied a behavior of monopole currents in the high temperature (deconfinement) phase of abelian projected finite temperature SU(2) QCD in maximally abelian gauge. Wrapped monopole currents closed by periodic boundary play an important role for the spatial string tension which is a nonperturbative quantity in the deconfinement phase. The wrapped monopole current density seems to be non-vanis...

The 2009 influenza pandemic highlighted the limited options available for scholarly publications to rapidly communicate research findings in a time of crisis. In response to the needs of the community, PLOS launched PLOS Currents: Influenza as a publication channel that would meet the need for swift publication of research during that influenza pandemic. PLOS Currents: Influenza allowed the pro...

Introduction Eddy currents have long been the bane of MRI. Particularly since the mid 1980s when imaging sequences became more rapid [1] and superconducting magnets became routinely used. When gradient coils are switched rapidly, eddy currents are induced in the cryostat vessel and other surrounding conducting structures. Two principal solutions have been adopted into standard practice for deal...

Cardiac myocyte contraction depends on transmembrane L-type Ca2+ currents and the ensuing release of Ca2+ from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Here we show that these L-type Ca2+ currents are essential for cardiac pump function in the mouse at developmental stages where the functional significance of the heart becomes imperative to blood flow and to the continuing growth and survival of the embryo....

abstract study of turbidity current hydrodynamics plays an important role in increasing the economical life of dams though reduction in sediment accumulation. in the present experimental study, the effect of entrance densimetric froude number of turbidity current in sub and super critical conditions (fr =0.6-3.5) have been tested through effect of channel slope and change related to opening hei...

Secondary propulsion methods for high-speed hyperloop transportation are sparsely researched. essential to quickly, efficiently, and safely get a pod up its target speed from stationary state. In this article, we propose analyze the feasibility of form electromagnetic (EM) secondary propulsion, called railgun, commonly used in modern-day artillery technology ammunition launching. We assess two ...
