SQUID measurements of remanent magnetisation in refillable He Spin Filter Cells (SFC)
A strong influence of external magnetic fields on the relaxation time constant T1 of glass cells serving as reservoirs for polarised He, observed for various alkali metal coated cells made of different glass types, was initially associated with the presence of a large number of ferromagnetic clusters on the glass surface. Later experiments showed the presence of the socalled ”T1 hysteresis” phe...
متن کاملBottles to trees: Plastic beverage bottles as an alternative nursery growing container for reforestation in developing countries

متن کاملScrambling Eggs in Plastic Bottles
This issue of PLoS Genetics contains the second of two important papers describing the high levels of meiotic failure caused by exposure of female mice to a chemical known as Bisphenol A (BPA) [1]. In the first article [2], Pat Hunt and her collaborators demonstrated high levels of meiotic failure in females exposed to BPA, suggesting that BPA exposure affects maturing oocytes. This conclusion ...
