A new mechanism of cell damage by alternating magnetic field with hematoporphyrin is described. C6 glioblastoma cell suspensions were exposed to an alternating magnetic field with frequency 180 kHz up to 60 min in the presence of hematoporphyrin in H2O and in D2O. The results presented suggest that an alternating magnetic field is able to activate hematoporphyrin, and this method may be a basis...

Holocene changes in terrestrial provenance and processes of sediment transport and deposition are tracked along a fjord-to-shelf transect adjacent to Vestfirdir, Iceland, using the magnetic properties ofmarine sediments.Magnetic susceptibility (MS) profiles of 10 cores (gravity and piston) were obtained onboard using a Bartington MS loop. Remanent magnetizations were measured at 1-cm intervals ...

Electrification of higher torque density applications in the transportation sector and robotics are primarily met with permanent magnet synchronous machines (PMSMs), attributing to their unique properties. However, wide operating temperatures, field weakening controls, low-quality magnets, lead uniform demagnetization rotor magnets. Demagnetization control reduce effective output as is proporti...

In this paper, the effect of alloy composition on the microstructural development of devitrified Nd–Fe–B-based alloys is investigated. While crystallization of simple ternary Nd2Fe14B resulted in a highly variable microstructure and relatively poor demagnetization behavior, alloying additions, notably Ti and C, were found to significantly refine and homogenize the crystallized microstructure. H...

The note describes measurement of NdFeB permanent magnet (PM) material demagnetization induced by high-energy electron radiation. In experiments we compared N40 and N40SH grades from Stanford Magnets Company, which have different intrinsic coercive forces. Dimensions of the tested PM blocks were close to those that will be used for ERL undulator construction. It was found that depending on dire...

Palaeomagnetic data are presented from early Silurian (Upper Llandovery) lavas from the Tortworth Silurian inlier of south-west England. Two magnetization components are recognized on the basis of contrasting demagnetization characteristics. A lower unblocking-temperature component (<350 "C) is oriented parallel to the Earth's present magnetic field at the sampling site (N = 46, declination = 3...

Remanent magnetization curves of perpendicular magnetic thin films are simulated and measured. The simulations are used to investigate the theoretical influence of the strong demagnetizing field present in these films. Conclusions are drawn from this on how remanence curves should be measured and how they should be c0rrecte.d for the demagnetizing influence. The experimental part consists of me...

Concurrent hyperthermia and radiation therapy in treatment of cancer show a strong evidence of a synergistic enhancement. We designed a new self-regulating Thermo-Brachytherapy seed, which serves as a source of both radiation and heat for concurrent administration of brachytherapy and hyperthermia. The Thermo-Brachytherapy seed has a core of ferromagnetic material which produces heat when subje...
