Aim of this study was to investigate the application of normalized mean of the empirical Higuchi fractal dimension (FD) distributions, as a new approach to analyze the spontaneous bioelectrical activity of garden snail (Helix pomatia) Br neuron. The effect of ouabain on modulation of Br neuron bursting activity before and after the exposure to 10 mT static magnetic field (SMF) was observed by a...

Conventional single-mode fiber (SMF) Brillouin optical time-domain reflectometry (BOTDR) suffers from a low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and severe sensing reliability due to the influence of stimulated scattering threshold bend loss. In this study, simple low-cost distributed structure, with input alignment fusion 50 ?m diameter graded index multimode fiber, is designed, SNR characteristic inve...

I report on the status of the problem of determining the groups that can occur as the irreducible holonomy of a torsion-free affine connection on some manifold. Résumé. Il s’agit d’un rapport sur le problème de la détermination des groupes qui peuvent être les groupes d’holonomie de connexions affines sans torsion. M.S.C. Subject Classification Index (1991) : 53B05 53C10; 53C15 58A15. Acknowled...

Currently, environmental and industrial pollution along with increase and causes multiple stress conditions, the combined exposure to magnetic field and other toxic agents is recognised as an important research area, with a view to better protecting human health against their probable unfavourable effects. In the present study, we investigated the effect of co-exposure to static magnetic field ...

BACKGROUND This study was inspired by coalescing evidence that magnetic therapy may be a viable treatment option for certain diseases. This premise is based on the ability of moderate strength fields (i.e., 0.1 to 1 Tesla) to alter the biophysical properties of lipid bilayers and in turn modulate cellular signaling pathways. In particular, previous results from our laboratory (Wang et al., BMC ...
