The present article expounds a formalism for the representation of multi-port non-reciprocal antenna structures in an arbitrary surrounding linear medium. In the most general approach the antenna, the waveguides connected to it, as well as the surrounding medium may contain any distribution of anisotropic magneto-electric media. Furthermore, an arbitrary external field is taken into considerati...

We show that magnetized plasma with appropriately designed parameters supports nearly diffractionless propagation of electromagnetic waves along the direction of the applied magnetic field, arising from their unbounded equifrequency contour in the magnetized plasma. Such a unique feature can be utilized to construct subdiffraction imaging devices, which is confirmed by detailed numerical invest...

We present the formalism for the covariant treatment of gravitational radiation in a magnetized environment and discuss the implications of the field for gravity waves in the cosmological context. Our geometrical approach brings to the fore the tension properties of the magnetic force lines and reveals their intricate interconnection to the spatial geometry of a magnetised spacetime. We show ho...

The motion of a self-propelled particle is affected by its surroundings, such as boundaries or external fields. In this paper, we investigated the bifurcation of the motion of a camphor grain, as a simple actual self-propelled system, confined in a one-dimensional finite region. A camphor grain exhibits oscillatory motion or remains at rest around the center position in a one-dimensional finite...

Effects of a uniform magnetic field, the plasma inhomogeneity, and dust charge fluctuations on low-frequency dust-lower-hybrid drift waves have been investigated. Charging currents of electrons and ions to a spherical dust grain in a nonuniform magnetized dusty plasma have been calculated to study the charge fluctuation induced damping or growth of low-frequency drift waves. It is found that fo...

In this research, Fischer Tropsch synthesis (FTS) has been modeled in the fixed bed chromatographic reactor for the first time by applying a rather complex dispersed plug flow model for fluid phase and linear driving force (LDF) model for adsorbent. Model equations are dynamic, multi-component, non-linear and heterogeneous including reaction and adsorption simultaneously Complex kinetics fo...

Chemical analyses returned by Mars Pathfinder indicate that some rocks may be high in silica, implying differentiated parent materials. Rounded pebbles and cobbles and a possible conglomerate suggest fluvial processes that imply liquid water in equilibrium with the atmosphere and thus a warmer and wetter past. The moment of inertia indicates a central metallic core of 1300 to 2000 kilometers in...

Schwann cells (SCs) are one of the most promising cellular candidates for the treatment of spinal cord injury. However, SCs show poor migratory ability within the astrocyte-rich central nervous system (CNS) environment and exhibit only limited integration with host astrocytes. Our strategy for improving the therapeutic potential of SCs was to magnetically drive SCs to migrate across the astrocy...

Interpretations of paleomagnetic observations assume that naturally occurring magnetic particles can retain their primary magnetic recording over billions of years. The ability to retain a magnetic recording is inferred from laboratory measurements, where heating causes demagnetization on the order of seconds. The theoretical basis for this inference comes from previous models that assume only ...

The prevailing theory for the origin of cosmic magnetic fields is that they have been amplified to their present values by the turbulent dynamo inductive action in the protogalactic and galactic medium. Up to now, in calculation of the turbulent dynamo, it has been customary to assume that there is no back reaction of the magnetic field on the turbulence, as long as the magnetic energy is less ...
