We report on the magnetic,magnetocaloric,thermal,and electrical transport properties of Tb_(4)Coln alloy,which crystallizes in two phases,Tb_6Co_(2.1)In_(0.8)(space group Immm)and Tb_(2)In_(0.9)Co_(0.1)(space group P6...We report on the magnetic,magnetocaloric,thermal,and electrical transport properties of Tb_(4)Coln alloy,which crystallizes in two phases,Tb_6Co_(2.1)In_(0.8)(space group Immm)and Tb_(2)In_(0.9)Co_(0.1)(space group P6_(3)/mmc),respectively.The alloy reveals three successive magnetic transitions around T_(1)(163 K),T_(2)(50 K),and T_(3)(29 K),respectively,associated with paramagnetic to ferromagnetic transition and two sequential antiferromagnetic transitions.The low-temperature transition T_(3) follows the first-order magnetic behavior and exhibits the field-induced magnetic transition.Meanwhile,T_(2) and T_(1) are found to be second-order in nature which opens a possibility for hysteresis-free magnetocaloric application.The magnetocaloric properties are determined using different magnetocaloric figures of merits such as-ΔS_(M),ΔT_(ad).RCP,and TEC(10).Additionally,the universal curve behavior in the isothermal entropy change unveils the variation in critical exponents around T_(1) and T_(2) due to the magnetic inhomogeneity in the alloy.Besides,the electrical transport properties of the metallic alloy denote the maximum magnetoresistance of-10%around T_(1).展开更多

AISi6Mg2 alloy designed for semi-solid metal （SSM） processing was continuously cast through a submerged entry nozzle under various conditions. Effects of multiple magnetic field on meniscus motion, temperature distribution and billet quality were examined. The experimental results showed that meniscus disturbance caused by electromagnetic stirring could be controlled effectively and the surface quality of semi-solid AI alloy billet was improved greatly, and an uniformly fine, globular microstructure across the transverse section of the billet was achieved by optimizing the distribution of multiple magnetic field.展开更多

However, multiple magnet ingestion, the subsequent potential complications and the importance of the early identification and proper management remain both under-recognized and underestimated. Published literature on such cases could possibly represent only the tip of an iceberg with press reports, web blogs and government documents highlighting further occurrence of many more such incidents. The increasing number of complications worldwide being reported secondary to magnet ingestion point not only to an acute lack of awareness about this condition among the medical profession but also among parents and carers who will be in most cases the first to pick up on magnet ingestion. There still seems to be no consensus on the management of magnet ingestion with several algorithms being proposed for management. Prevention of this condition remains a much better option than cure. Proper education and improved awareness among parents and carers and frontline medical staff is key in addressing this rapidly emerging problem. The goal of managing such cases of suspected magnet ingestion should be aimed at reducing delays between ingestion time, diagnosis time and intervention time.展开更多

Herein, we have described a multiple genotyping method based on magnetic enrichment- multiplex PCR （MEM-PCR） and microarray technology. Monodisperse magnetic beads were fabricated and modified with streptavidin. Four loci on two genes （M235T and A-6G loci on AGT gene, A1298C and C677T loci on MTHFR gene） were selected to study single nucleotide polymorphisms （SNP）. Target sequences of these SNP loci were amplified using Cy3-1abeled primers through multiplex PCR in one tube after the templates were enriched and purified by functional magnetic beads （MB）. Four pairs of NH2- labeled probes, corresponding to each locus, were fixed on CHO-modified glass slide by covalent binding. Hybridization between target sequences and probes was performed under suitable conditions. The spotting locations on microarray and the ratio of fluorescence intensity, produced by different loci, were used to distinguish the SNP genotypes. Finally, three of gastric cancer samples were collected and genotvping analysis for these four SNP loci was carried out successfully simultaneously by this method.展开更多

The patient in this report was a 34-year-old woman with five-level cervical MNSI. CT and MRI showed that injuries included atlantoaxial instability, burst fracture of C6, dislocation of C6/7, rupture of the intervertebal disc or ligamentous complex, and irreversible cord damage. The mechanism for this case was a combined pattern of hyperflexion, compression, and hyperextension injuries. A review of the literature revealed that this case is the first report in the literature of a vehicle related accident causing five-level noncontiguous injuries of the cervical spine.展开更多
