In soil magnetometry, two types of measurements are usually performed. The first type is measurements performed on the soil surface, frequently using an MS2D sensor. The second type includes measurements of magnetic susceptibility carried out in the soil profile, usually to a depth of about 30 cm. Up to now, such measurement results were analyzed separately. However, it is possible and advantag...

Turbulent flow of liquid sodium is driven toward the transition to self-generating magnetic fields. The approach toward the transition is monitored with decay measurements of pulsed magnetic fields. These measurements show significant fluctuations due to the underlying turbulent fluid flow field. This paper presents experimental characterizations of the fluctuations in the decay rates and induc...

The novel heterometallic aggregates [Ag(8)Cu(2)(C(2)C(6)H(4)X)(6)(PPh(2)C(6)H(4)PPh(2))(6)][PF(6)](4) (X = H, 1; OMe, 2; NMe(2), 3) were prepared by the self-assembly reactions starting from simple precursors. These compounds consist of the central [Ag(6)Cu(2)(C(2)C(6)H(4)X)(6)](2+) clusters capped by two tripodal fragments [Ag(diphosphine)(3)](+). The solid state structures of complexes 1 and ...

introduction: public and occupational exposure to extremely low frequency (elf) electric and magnetic fields induced by electrical equipment is a significant issue in the environment and at the workplace due to their potential health effects on public health. the purpose of this study was assessment of the electric and magnetic fields intensities and determination of mental and psychological ef...

Luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) generally consist of transparent polymer sheets doped with luminescent species. Incident sunlight is absorbed by the luminescent species and emitted with high quantum efficiency, such that emitted light is trapped in the sheet and travels to the edges where it can be collected by solar cells. LSCs offer potentially lower cost per Wp. This paper reviews res...

An accurate orientation is crucial to a satisfactory position in pedestrian navigation. The orientation estimation, however, is greatly affected by errors like the biases of gyroscopes. In order to minimize the error in the orientation, the biases of gyroscopes must be estimated and subtracted. In the state of the art it has been proposed, but not proved, that the estimation of the biases can b...
