Processing metallic alloys under a static magnetic field (SMF) has garnered significant attention over the past few decades. SMFs can influence both thermodynamics and kinetics of solidification process by introducing extra force energy. Eutectic-type (ETAs) are commonly used as research materials due to their featured microstructures. This review aims present theoretical experimental results r...

We introduce highly compact resonant-cavity-enhanced magneto-optical switches for metal-dielectric-metal (MDM) plasmonic waveguides. The field profile of the fundamental mode of a MDM waveguide in which the metal is subject to an externally applied static magnetic field is asymmetric. The static magnetic field induced asymmetry, which enhances or reduces the coupling between the waveguide and a...

PURPOSE In this study the potential of diphenhydramine in reducing respectively preventing vertigo and nausea induced by the ultra-high static magnetic field at 7 T was evaluated. MATERIALS AND METHODS In a prospective, double blinded, placebo controlled, cross-over randomized study the sensations of 34 volunteers before, during and after exposure to the static magnetic field with and without...

Space flight by means of wormholes is described whereby the traditional rocket propulsion approach can be abandoned in favor of a new paradigm involving the manipulation of spacetime. Maccone (1995) extended LeviCivita’s 1917 magnetic gravity solution to the Morris and Thorne (1988) wormhole solution and claimed that static homogeneous magnetic/electric fields can create spacetime curvature man...

Human skin fibroblasts were exposed to 0.2 T static magnetic field generated by a magnetic resonance tomograph. After 1h exposure, cell morphology was modified in association with a concomitant decrease in the expression of some sugar residues of glycoconjugates. Study of cell proliferation and mitogenic signal transduction showed a decrease of thymidine incorporation and of second messenger fo...

Advances in magnetic resonance imaging are driving the development of more powerful and higher-resolution machines with high-strength static magnetic fields. The behavioral effects of high-strength magnetic fields are largely uncharacterized, although restraint within a 9.4 T magnetic field is sufficient to induce a conditioned taste aversion (CTA) and induce brainstem expression of c-Fos in ra...
