Compact Bone01:27

Compact Bone

16.2K
Most bones contain compact and spongy osseous tissue, but their distribution and concentration vary based on the bone's overall function.
Compact bone, also called cortical bone, is the denser, stronger of the two types of bone tissue. It is found under the periosteum and in the diaphyses of long bones, where it provides support and protection. The microscopic structural unit of compact bone is called an osteon, or haversian system. Each osteon is composed of concentric rings of calcified...

Compacting Factor test01:22

Compacting Factor test

561
The compacting factor test is a method used to assess the workability of concrete. It is  especially suitable for concrete mixes containing aggregates up to one and a half inches in size. This test involves specialized equipment consisting of two truncated cone-shaped hoppers and a cylinder, all with polished interior surfaces to minimize friction.
The procedure begins by placing concrete into the upper hopper without any compaction. Once filled, the bottom door of this hopper is opened,...

ATP Driven Pumps III: V-type Pumps01:30

ATP Driven Pumps III: V-type Pumps

4.7K
V-type pumps are ATP-driven pumps found in the vacuolar membranes of plants, yeast, endosomal and lysosomal membranes of animal cells, plasma membranes of a few specialized eukaryotic cells, and some prokaryotes. They are also known as the V1Vo-ATPase, that couple ATP hydrolysis to transport protons against a concentration gradient.
The peripheral or cytosolic V1 domain with eight subunits is involved in ATP hydrolysis. The integral or transmembrane V0 domain containing at least five subunits...

ATP Driven Pumps II: P-type Pumps01:34

ATP Driven Pumps II: P-type Pumps

6.2K
The P-type pumps are a large family of integral membrane transporter ATPases. They are divided into five major types based on substrate specificity, from I to V.
A typical P-type pump has three cytosolic domains: nucleotide-binding (N), phosphorylation (P), and activator (A) domains. These domains are connected to the membrane-spanning helices by short amino acid segments. ATP hydrolysis and covalent phosphoenzyme intermediate formation are crucial parts of the catalytic cycle. At the highly...

Pumped Concrete01:13

Pumped Concrete

360
Concrete in large quantities can be pumped across long distances for placing in inaccessible sites. This system comprises a hopper that receives concrete from a mixer, a pump to propel the concrete, and pipelines that facilitate its delivery.
For direct-acting pumps, the concrete enters the pump via the inlet valve under the action of gravity and suction created by the movement of the piston. This concrete is then forced into the pipeline and out through the outlet valve by the forward movement...

Refrigerators and Heat Pumps01:07

Refrigerators and Heat Pumps

3.0K
Refrigerators or heat pumps are heat engines operating in a reverse direction. For a refrigerator, the focus is on removing heat from a specific area, whereas, for a heat pump, the focus is on dumping heat into one particular area. A refrigerator (or heat pump) absorbs heat Qc from the cold reservoir at Kelvin temperature Tc and discards heat Qh to the hot reservoir at Kelvin temperature Th, while work W is done on the engine’s working substance.
A household refrigerator removes heat from...

Area of Science:

  • Biophysics
  • Neuroscience
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Optically pumped magnetometers (OPMs) offer a flexible alternative to traditional magnetoencephalography (MEG) systems.
  • OPMs eliminate the need for liquid helium and bulky dewar systems.
  • Traditional MEG requires large, expensive magnetically shielded rooms (MSRs).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design and construct an economical, compact magnetic shield for OPM-based MEG.
  • To evaluate the performance of this compact shield for detecting human brain activity.
  • To compare the compact shield's performance against a commercial MSR.

Main Methods:

  • Designed and built a compact, cylindrical magnetic shield.
  • Evaluated shield performance by measuring residual magnetic fields and background noise.
  • Compared shielding factors at various frequencies (0.1 Hz, 1 Hz, 10 Hz).
  • Recorded human auditory evoked responses in both compact and commercial shields.

Main Results:

  • The compact shield demonstrated residual magnetic fields and background noise comparable to or lower than a commercial MSR.
  • Achieved a remnant field of 4.2 nT, significantly reducing geomagnetic interference.
  • Measured longitudinal shielding factors of approximately 191, 205, and 3130 at 0.1 Hz, 1 Hz, and 10 Hz, respectively.
  • Auditory evoked waveforms recorded in both shields showed consistent results.

Conclusions:

  • A compact magnetic shield is a feasible and high-performance solution for OPM-based MEG.
  • This approach offers a low-cost alternative to traditional MSRs for advanced neuroimaging.
  • Enables wider accessibility to MEG technology for brain activity research.
