Since their first demonstration of manipulation and mechanical coiling of a single DNA molecule, magnetic tweezers have become a popular and widely used single-molecule manipulation technique. Magnetic tweezers have yielded a wealth of information on the elastic properties of (coiled) DNA and have provided critical insights into the dynamic activity of DNA-processing enzymes. Recent years have ...

Abstrac t-The results of a magnetic and electromagnetic measurement survey are presented, which was carried out around a Magnetic Resonance Imaging device. The investigation is performed with the twofold aim of characterising the field source under the different operating sequences and evaluating the exposure of workers both to the static and time-varying magnetic field. The exposure levels are...

The Parkes multibeam pulsar survey is a high-frequency, fast-sampled survey of the Galactic Plane, expected to discover at least 500 new pulsars. To date, over 200 pulsars have been found, including several young pulsars and at least one with a very high magnetic field. Seven of the new stars are in binary systems; this number includes one probable double-neutron-star system, and one pulsar wit...

original article   one type of electromagnetic fields, based on frequency range, is extremely low frequency (elf) fields. there are lots of reports about measuring elf-magnetic field (mf) in substations, power plants, cities and etc. this study aimed to compare the difference between measurement of three-axis and single-axis probe mf meters. elf-mf was measured by tes-1394 mf tester (three-axis...

OBJECTIVE There are concerns that not all costly advanced imaging is appropriate. However, studies about the appropriateness of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are sparse. The aim of this study was to review various MRI examinations done at a university hospital to determine whether there is inappropriate use. METHODS Altogether 150 common MRIs (upper abdomen or liver, lumbar spine, knee, he...

Detection of brain tumor is the most common fatality in the current scenario of health care society. This difficult task of detection of brain tumor was earlier done by doctors manually, but it is tedious and time consuming and conclusions which may vary from one doctor to another. So magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used to detect the location of brain tumor and area calculation more accura...

---------------------------------------------------------------------***--------------------------------------------------------------------Abstract Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is one of the most effective medical imaging modality that have been used for soft tissue imaging, such as brain and muscles. Over the past several years, although the signal-to-noise ratio, resolution and acquisiti...
