We report progress toward a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID)-based system capable of detecting a few atomic spin-flips. The scaling of the flux sensitivity with SQUID loop dimension of miniature niobium dc SQUID devices is examined and shown experimentally to vary as predicted. Our smallest device, with loop size 3 m 3 m, is capable of detecting 40 spins in a 1-Hz bandwidth. ...

Although squid are among the most versatile swimmers and rely on a unique locomotor system, little is known about the swimming mechanics and behavior of most squid, especially those that swim at low speeds in inshore waters. Shallow-water brief squid Lolliguncula brevis, ranging in size from 1.8 to 8.9 cm in dorsal mantle length (DML), were placed in flumes and videotaped, and the data were ana...

We identified the pelagic habitat hotspots of the neon flying squid (Ommastrephes bartramii) in the central North Pacific from May to July and characterized the spatial patterns of squid aggregations in relation to oceanographic features such as mesoscale oceanic eddies and the Transition Zone Chlorophyll-a Front (TZCF). The data used for the habitat model construction and analyses were squid f...

We present a hybrid microwave superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) multiplexer that combines two frequency-division multiplexing techniques to allow given number of cryogenic detectors with only fraction frequency encoding resonators. Similar conventional SQUID multiplexing, our relies on inductively coupling non-hysteretic, unshunted rf-SQUIDs resonators as well applying flux ra...

Scanning superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) microscopy is a magnetic imaging technique combining high-field sensitivity with nanometer-scale spatial resolution. State-of-the-art SQUID-on-tip probes are now playing an important role in mapping correlation phenomena, such as superconductivity and magnetism, which have recently been observed two-dimensional van der Waals materials...

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects organic acid treatments on tenderizing squid muscle. Squid samples removed head, skin, viscera, and tentacles cut into square pieces 4 x4 cm were soaked citric lactic solvents (1 2%) kept in a refrigerator (4°C) for 24 h. It was found that affected physicochemical properties squid. While application decreased pH values water holding capacity, ...

Identification of different species of oceanic and neritic squids in Iranian waters of Oman Sea was carried out from December 1996 to February 1997. The trawl surveys were conducted during a 12-months period. Fishing was also undertaken by Mid-water and bottom trawl for species confirmation purposes in deep (200-350m) and shallow (0-100m) waters to collect enough specimens that could be used fo...

BACKGROUND Assessing the quality of primary care is becoming a priority in national healthcare agendas. Audit and feedback on healthcare quality performance indicators can help improve the quality of care provided. In some instances, fewer numbers of more comprehensive indicators may be preferable. This paper describes the use of the Summary Quality Index (SQUID) in tracking quality of care amo...
