Background: Salmonella is one of the most common food-borne pathogens that can cause illness. In this study, the sensitivity and the specificity of Aptamer-Magnetic bead Separation-Polymerase Chain Reaction (AMS-PCR) method were determined for Salmonella spp. detection. Methods: Different concentrations of Salmonella enterica were mixed with streptavidin-magnetic beads coated with biotinylated...

Cerebral development involves a complex cascade of events which are difficult to visualize and quantify in vivo. In this study we combine information from Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) and Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping (QSM) to analyze developing mouse brains at five stages up to 56days postnatal. Susceptibility maps were calculated using frequency shifts in gradient echo MR images acqui...

Abstract. The anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) technique provides an effective way to measure fabrics and, in the process, interpret kinematics actively deforming orogens. We collected rock fabric data alluvial fan sediments surrounding Sierra Nevada massif, Spain, and a broader range Cenozoic rocks across Northern Apennine foreland, Italy, explore deformation that contribute ongoing...

Knowing the rotation and paleo-stress history in Qaidam Basin is a fundamental parameter to quantify mechanism of intracontinental deformation Tibetan Plateau. However, few studies have been conducted on tectonic stress evolution over long timescales Basin. Here, we report new magnetic declination anisotropy susceptibility (AMS) from ∼52–7 Ma sequence fluvial lacustrine sediments Dahonggou (DHG...

Through magnetic linear dichroism spectroscopy, the magnetic susceptibility anisotropy of metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes has been extracted and found to be 2-4 times greater than values for semiconducting nanotubes. This large anisotropy can be understood in terms of large orbital paramagnetism of metallic nanotubes arising from the Aharonov-Bohm-phase-induced gap opening in a parallel...
