This paper deals with an efficient and fast approach for determining the mutual inductance between thin current loops (filamentary coils, thin cylindrical coils, thin disk coils and all possible combinations). This approach is based on the filament method where conductors are approximated by a set of Maxwell’s coils. The resulting equations are expressed in term of the complete elliptical integ...

Magnetotactic bacteria have the unique capacity of synthesizing intracellular single-domain magnetic particles called magnetosomes. The magnetosomes are usually organized in a chain that allows the bacteria to align and swim along geomagnetic field lines, a behavior called magnetotaxis. Two mechanisms of magnetotaxis have been described. Axial magnetotactic cells swim in both directions along m...

BACKGROUND The influence of electromagnetic exposure on mammalian tissues was approached as a public health issue aiming to reveal the putative side effect of 50 Hz industrial and domestic supply source (i) during aliments storage near such sources; (ii) in people staying couple of hours in the proximity of conducting wires. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fluorescence emission based thermal sensor was...

Introduction: Computer simulations for MRI tend to focus on different application areas. Traditionally, design of MR system components, such as the main magnet, gradients and RF coils is done using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) [1] and finite element (FEM) [2] methods. In doing so, certain generic specifications are followed in the belief that this will minimize imaging artifacts, wh...
