scholarly journals Control the Activity of Erwinia Amylovora Bacterium by Magnetic Field

We study the effect of promoting low magnetic field exposure on antimicrobial activity against Erwinia amylovora (E. Amylovora) bacterium. For this purpose, we treated E. amylovora at 28°C with two intensities (0.2T and 0.5T) of the magnetic field for one hour to see the intensity of bacterial growth inhibition. Bacterial growth was measured in experimental samples. The results indicate that exposure to E. amylovora to 0.2T and 0.5T for 1 hour reduced bacterial growth. Dielectric relaxation studies of treated and untreated alive bacterium showed changes of the surface charge distribution of the bacterium which indicates changes in the receptor properties and hence cell communications. The study showed bacteria treated with the magnetic field which was exposed for an hour, adjusted its cellular activity, slowing the rate of growth and affecting microbial pathogenicity. The effect was higher at 0.5 T than 0.2 T. We concluded that magnetic field formation is a promising technique for treating this type of bacteria.

The impacts of strengthening magnetic field exposure on combustion performance of low-octane fuel have been examined experimentally. The combustion test was carried out using a 2-stroke 49 cc engine where the fuel was magnetized using a low magnetic field (<2 kG). Moreover, the molecular behavior of magnetized fuel was also characterized through spectrum tests using NIR and UV-Vis spectrophotometers. The result of this study indicates an exponential decrease of magnetized fuel consumption against the strengthening of magnetic field exposure. This exponential decrease of consumption can be related to the Arrhenius principle. In addition, the decrease of oxygen in the exhaust gas along with the strengthening of the magnetic field also confirms the increase of combustion reactions. Meanwhile, the increase of magnetized fuel absorption against ultraviolet and near-infrared lights along with the increase of the magnetic field intensity indicates a bond weakening, accompanied by the increase of molecular vibrational energy.

Hall measurements of liquid metals, using two-frequency, ac-dc and simultaneous methods are described. The Hall effect has been measured in Hg and Ga metals, in both solid and liquid states. The magnetoresistance and Hall effects have also been measured in an InSb single crystal, which exhibited magnetoresistance even in low magnetic field, and in Si , which did not exhibit magnetoresistance in low magnetic field. In order to investigate the magnetic field dependence of the observed galvanomagnetic effects for solid and liquid state metals, and for semiconductors, Hall measurements in high magnetic field, up to ±9 T, were also performed.

In our approach we have combined knowledge of Old Masters (working in this field before the year 1905), New Masters (working in this field after the year 1905) and Dissidents under the guidance of Louis de Broglie and David Bohm. Based on the great works of Julian Schwinger and John Archibald Wheeler we will study properties of geons formed by fusion of two soft x-ray particles (dyons) in the Schwarzschild gravitation core in our Sun at temperature 16 * 106 K. There are now several Teams that are able to achieve this fusion temperature in their special instruments (Tokamak, HL-2M Tokamak, Wendelstein 7-X, NIF, etc.) and to study properties of those formed geons. Thermal geons are with us all the time but they are very deeply hidden in our experiments. We have newly introduced Mareš - Šesták constant as the ratio of geon momentum to heat quantum of geon. The key information to enter into the World of geons was the empirical formula of David Bohm - the very well-known Bohm diffusion. From this formula we have extracted the amplitude, wavelength, frequency, quantum of the geon action, displacement law for geons, etc. It was found that geons are highly sensitive to the magnetic field strength. At a low magnetic field strength, the “inflation of geons” can occur. This effect could explain the Superheating of the Solar corona and the observed Heating of the Earth during two last centuries influenced by the changes in the Earth´s magnetic field. Geon engineering might modify the geon volume through the magnetic field strength. On the other hand, we were stimulated by the works of Mordehai Milgrom and Eric Verlinde and derived the Milgrom-Verlinde constant describing the gravitational field strength leading to the Newtonian gravitational constant on thermodynamic principles. The quantum of the geon momentum might open a new way how to understand gravitational phenomena. Can it be that Nature cleverly inserted geons into our experimental apparatuses and into our very-well known Old Formulae? We want to pass this concept into the hands of Readers of this Journal better educated in the Mathematics, Physics, and Thermodynamics.

Abstract. The global characteristics of the high-altitude cusp and its surrounding regions are investigated using a three-year statistical survey based on data obtained by the Cluster spacecraft. The analysis involves an elaborate orbit-sampling methodology that uses a model field and takes into account the actual solar wind conditions and level of geomagnetic activity. The spatial distribution of the magnetic field and various plasma parameters in the vicinity of the low magnetic field exterior cusp are determined and it is found that: 1) The magnetic field distribution shows the presence of an intermediate region between the magnetosheath and the magnetosphere: the exterior cusp, 2) This region is characterized by the presence of dense plasma of magnetosheath origin; a comparison with the Tsyganenko (1996) magnetic field model shows that it is diamagnetic in nature, 3) The spatial distributions show that three distinct boundaries with the lobes, the dayside plasma sheet and the magnetosheath surround the exterior cusp, 4) The external boundary with the magnetosheath has a sharp bulk velocity gradient, as well as a density decrease and temperature increase as one goes from the magnetosheath to the exterior cusp, 5) While the two inner boundaries form a funnel, the external boundary shows no clear indentation, 6) The plasma and magnetic pressure distributions suggest that the exterior cusp is in equilibrium with its surroundings in a statistical sense, and 7) A preliminary analysis of the bulk flow distributions suggests that the exterior cusp is stagnant under northward IMF conditions but convective under southward IMF conditions.

&lt;p&gt;Thermal demagnetization furnaces are routine facilities for paleomagnetic studies. The ideal thermal demagnetizer should maintain &amp;#8220;zero&amp;#8221; magnetic field during thermal treatments. However, magnetic field noises, including residual magnetic fields of material and induced fields caused by the heating current in the furnace are always present. The key to making high-performance demagnetization furnace is to reduce the magnetic field noises. By combining efficient demagnetization of shielding and a new structure of heating wire, we have developed a new demagnetization furnace with low magnetic field noises. Repeated progressive thermal demagnetization experiments using specimens that were previously completely thermal demagnetized above their Curie temperature were carry out to explore the effects of field within various types of furnace during demagnetization. These experiment confirm that magnetic field noises in the furnace can have an observable and detrimental impact on demagnetization behavior. Comparison between commercial furnaces and our new design show a notable reduction in the impacts of on thermal demagnetization behavior. The new heating element design and procedure for reducing magnetic&amp;#160;field&amp;#160;noises represent a significant improvement in the design of thermal demagnetizers and allows for extremely weak specimens to be successfully measured.&lt;/p&gt;

We made simulations of the collapse of the rotating protostellar cloud. Differential rotation leads to the amplification of the toroidal component of the magnetic field and subsequent ejection of the matter due to the magnetorotational mechanism.Our results show that at different initial configurations of the magnetic field formation of qualitatively different types of explosion takes place. Magnetic field of the dipole type produces a jet-like explosion. Quadrupole-like magnetic field produces supernova explosion whith ejection presumably near equatorial plane. Quantitative estimations of the ejected mass and energy are given.We have done simulation of the collapse of the white dwarf and formation of a differentially rotating neutron star. After the collapse stage the rotating neutron star was formed. The rotation of the neutron star is strongly differential. The presence of the magnetic field (even the weak one) could produce magnetorotational supernova explosion.For the simulations we have used 2D numerical scheme, based on the specially developed numerical method (conservative, implicit, triangular grid, Lagrangian, grid reconstruction).

Abstract: The study of variation of measured cyclotron lines is of fundamental importance to understand the physics of the accretion process in magnetized neutron star systems. We investigate the magnetic field formation, evolution and distribution for several High- Mass X-ray Binaries (HMXBs). We focus our attention on the cyclotron lines that have been detected in HMXB classes in their X-ray spectra. As has been correctly pointed out, several sources show variation in cyclotron lines, which can result due to the effect of accretion dynamics and hence that would reflect the magnetic field characteristics. Besides, the difference in time scales of variation of accretion rate and different types of companion can be used to distinguish between magnetized neutron stars. Keywords: Stars: neutron stars, High-Mass X-ray binaries, Stars: magnetic field, Cyclotron lines.
