This paper describes a SAR measurement system for a 3G mobile phone (1718.5 MHz) using brain phantom material in a Perspex box sized to a small rat volume, with induced fields measured at multiple locations. SAR was computed from induced-field measurements and also estimated experimentally via temperature rise, with…

This study models nematic liquid crystals embedded in random polymer networks, where disorder disrupts long-range order and produces a glassy state. It uses simulations and an Imry-Ma-like analytic approach to visualize domains, predict domain size, and calculate the response to an applied electric field. The authors…

This paper presents a theoretical model of a single ferromagnetic particle with finite coupling between its magnetic moment and particle body in a rotating magnetic field. It describes synchronous and asynchronous motion regimes, including planar motion at low frequencies and a precession regime at high frequencies,…

This study compared two non-invasive acupoint stimulation methods—TEAS and PEMF—as alternatives to manual acupuncture for recovery from exercise-induced muscle fatigue. Using 2 Hz stimulation (PEMF magnetic flux 30.92 mT), the authors report faster recovery of EMG median frequency and improved peak torque recovery in…

This study measured atmospheric VOCs at the Gongga Mountain base station using weekly samples collected in 2007 and analyzed by preconcentration plus GC-MS. It reports mean concentrations of TVOCs and NMHCs, describes VOC composition, and uses PCA-based receptor modeling to attribute sources. The authors report…

This experimental and clinical study compared two umbrella-shaped expandable radiofrequency ablation electrodes (SuperSlim vs CoAccess) across different ablation algorithms. In ex vivo bovine liver, CoAccess generally produced larger ablation areas and required longer ablation times than SuperSlim, with no…

This engineering/materials study describes a template-free solution-phase method to synthesize well-aligned nickel nanochains under applied magnetic fields. The authors report that nanochain size and morphology can be tuned by reaction temperature and magnetic field conditions, and explain alignment via magnetic…

This paper addresses heat dissipation mechanisms of magnetic nanoparticles used in targeted hyperthermia under large alternating magnetic fields. Using numerical comparisons, it reports additional features in relaxation loss for rotatable superparamagnetic nanoparticles and field-induced formation of oriented…

This case report describes a 60-year-old man with a dual-chamber implantable cardioverter defibrillator who underwent septal myectomy and a right atrial radiofrequency maze procedure. Following surgery, a persistent delay in atrial sensing was observed. The authors attribute this most likely to iatrogenic right…

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 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 paper presents a mesoscopic transport modeling framework (NEGF plus a real-space π-orbital model) to study how a uniform perpendicular magnetic field affects electronic transport in armchair graphene nanoribbons. The authors report width-dependent equilibrium current profiles and edge-localized transport under…

This paper theoretically investigates zero- and finite-temperature behavior of an anisotropic antiferromagnetic Heisenberg XXZ spin-1/2 chain under a transverse magnetic field, focusing between the factorizing and critical fields.

This study compared slow conventional air defrosting with fast radio frequency (RF) defrosting/tempering in lean beef (whole, minced, and comminuted) using drip loss, NMR relaxometry, and dielectric spectroscopy. RF thawing was associated with lower drip loss and lower micronutrient loss in drip than air thawing,…

This paper reports electric-field control of magnetic anisotropy in a Permalloy layer exchange-coupled to a multiferroic BiFeO3 single crystal.
