calcifying aponeurotic fibroma (caf) is a rare, benign fibroblastic tumor that typically occurs in the palms of the hands and soles of the feet, in children and adolescents. due to its infiltrative nature, this tumor can mimic malignancy on preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (mri) and has a predilection for local recurrence. there are very few reports in the literature that describe featur...

magnetic field effects on the elastic response of polymeric piezoelectric cylinder reinforced with carbon nanotubes (cnts) is studied. the cylinder is subjected to internal pressure, a constant electric potential difference at the inner and outer surfaces, thermal and magnetic fields. the mori-tanaka model is used for obtaining the equivalent material properties of the cylinder. based on the ch...

scanning hall probe microscopy (shpm) is a scanning probe microscopy technique developed to observe and image magnetic fields locally. this method is based on application of the hall effect, supplied by a micro hall probe attached to the end of cantilever as a sensor.  shpm provides direct quantitative information on the magnetic state of a material and can also image magnetic induction under a...

the discharge of lead containing effluents into the environment and water bodies is harmful for the human, animals, aquatic flora and fauna. herein, a novel surface engineered magnetic nanoparticle for removing pb2+ ions was studied. after surface modification of the magnetite by 3-amino-propyltriethoxysilane (aptes) magnetic nanoparticles with covalently linked porphyrins were synthesized. two...

in this research, some more applicable ferrofluids are produced and their mechanical specifications are measured, experimentally. also, their treatments in the ventilated cavity geometry are assessed numerically. the magnetite nanoparticles are produced by a chemical combination of fe2+ and fe3+ with nh3. in order to solve the nanoparticles in the new mediums, a proper coating is added to them....

magnetic susceptibility has been extensively used to determine the magnetic properties of rocks for different applications, such as hydrocarbon or mineral explorations. this magnetic quantity can be directly measured in an accurate but time-consuming operation, or it can be mathematically approximated using a reliable procedure to achieve a desired accuracy. the poisson theory is one of the mos...

recently, the hypothesis in which memory and information would be stored as magnetic forms in astrocytes is expanding and neuromagnetic interactions between neurons and neighboring astrocytes in neocortex have potential to be the basis of memory formation. it has been proposed that all sorts of information may be maintained in form of neuronal activity-associated magnetic fields (naamfs) and th...

introduction range and diffusion of positron-emitting radiopharmaceuticals are important parameters for image resolution in positron emission tomography (pet). in this study, geant4 toolkit was applied to study positron diffusion in soft tissues with and without a magnetic field for six commonly used isotopes in pet imaging including 11c, 13n, 15o, 18f, 68ga, and 82rb. materials and methods gea...

magnetic cufe2o4 nanoparticles were synthesized by a facile microwave-assisted reaction between cu(no3)2 and fe(no3)3. the magnetic nanoparticles were added to starch to make magnetic polymeric nanocomposite. the nanoparticles and nanocomposites were characterized using x-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. the magnetic properties of the samples were investigated using an alternat...
