This clinical study evaluated micro-plasma radio frequency treatment for facial acne scars in 24 patients. Patients received 3–5 treatments and were assessed using photographs before and 2 months after treatment. The authors report an overall improvement rate of 83.33% and conclude the technique is effective.

This article reports an engineering implementation of a wireless sensor network-based remote water-level monitoring system. The system includes field sensors, a base station, a data center, and a web publishing module, and is described as providing real-time monitoring and anti-jamming capability. The authors state…

This paper reports the development of a 15-channel transmit-receive RF coil for 7 T human brain MRI, using a hybrid decoupling approach to support element placement along three axes. The design is presented as enabling B1+ shimming and parallel imaging acceleration in three dimensions, with reported isolation and…

The paper evaluates how pulsed electric field (PEF) processing affects milk volatile compounds compared with HTST pasteurization (75 °C, 15 s). GC-MS detected 37 volatiles and reported some compositional differences between PEF and pasteurized milk, including increased aldehydes and lower methyl ketones with PEF.…

This study investigated how exposure to a static magnetic field affects electricity production in Shewanella-inoculated microbial fuel cells across different reactor configurations. A 100 mT field was reported to increase maximum voltage and the effect was described as immediate and reversible, with possible adverse…

This in vitro study examined whether extremely low-frequency magnetic fields affect chondrogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells in pellet culture. Cells exposed for 3 weeks to a homogeneous sinusoidal 5 mT magnetic field showed increased collagen type II expression (significant at passage 6) and…

This methods paper addresses how B0 (main field) and B1 (transmit field) inhomogeneities can bias SPGR and bSSFP steady-state MRI signals used for multicomponent T1/T2 relaxometry and myelin water analysis. It describes using DESPOT1-HIFI to calibrate flip angles and adding a B0-related parameter with multiple…

This modeling study applies uniform electric fields parallel and normal to 180° ferroelectric domain walls in PbTiO3 and computes equilibrium structures using anharmonic lattice statics. The authors report that electric fields can substantially increase domain wall thickness and identify a critical field Ec above…

This study evaluated MRI safety parameters for three commercial veterinary RFID microchips at 1 T, assessing movement forces, heating, artifacts, and device function. Translation and torque were reported to be larger than expected from normal activity, but no significant heating was observed and microchip function…

This experimental study examined how pulsed electric field (PEF) processing parameters affect cell membrane rupture in onion tissue disks, using ion leakage as the primary integrity measure. Disintegration efficiency increased with field strength up to 500 V/cm and varied with pulse width, pulse number, and…

This study evaluated high-intensity pulsed electric fields (HIPEF) as a processing method to inactivate polyphenoloxidase (PPO) in strawberry juice. Using response surface methodology at a constant electric field of 35 kV/cm, the authors report strong PPO reductions across tested parameter ranges. Bipolar mode,…

This theoretical study models electron spin resonance and spin/charge pumping in zigzag graphene nanoribbons driven by a transverse rotating magnetic field without applied bias. It reports that pumped spin current density increases with ribbon size and rotating-field intensity, and that even-chain ribbons can also…

This condensed-matter physics study examined how high magnetic fields and pressure affect magnetization, transport, and thermodynamic properties of the intermediate-valence compound YbPd. The authors report that the Yb valence state and two first-order transitions are stable up to 55 T, while increasing pressure…

This neutron diffraction study quantifies how tetragonal structural domains in SrTiO3 redistribute below 105 K under external electric fields and uniaxial mechanical stress. The authors report that electric field and stress act competitively, and that applying both produces complex domain redistribution. The results…

This laboratory study investigates how magnetic field and pressure affect valence and magnetic transitions in the compound EuPtP. High-field analysis suggests a mixed valence state at low temperature and discontinuous changes in Eu2+ fraction at two transition temperatures. Pressure increases the transition…

This theoretical/physics paper examines how an in-plane uniform electric field affects the de Haas-van Alphen (dHvA) effect in graphene. It reports that magnetization, magnetic susceptibility, and dHvA oscillation behavior depend on a dimensionless parameter β = E/(vF B), with divergences described at a critical…

This experimental study examined nucleation of superconductivity at the surface of a single-crystal yttrium hexaboride (YB6) in a tilted dc magnetic field. The authors measured Hc3 on each side of the sample as a function of the angle between the field and the surface. They report Hc3/Hc2 ≈ 1.28 for a perpendicular…

This laboratory/engineering study examined electric-field-induced structuring in clay-oil suspensions using WAXS, SEM, rheometry, and electrical measurements. Particle orientation was quantified via an orientational order parameter derived from diffraction peak azimuthal changes, and chain versus column formation was…

This cross-sectional questionnaire study of 196 parent–adolescent dyads examined how cell phone calling patterns relate to perceptions of truthfulness, parental knowledge, and family relationships. More frequent parental calling was associated with lower perceived truthfulness, and calls made when upset were linked…
