Objective: To investigate the effect of sinusoidal electricity magnetic fields (SEMFs) on the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts in vitro.
Methods: Calvarial osteoblasts of newborn rats were isolated by enzyme digestion and randomly divided into 3 groups after subculture. Two groups of cells were exposed to 50 Hz 1.8 mT SEMFs for 30 min/d in parallel and vertical, respectively. Those without SEMFs exposure served as control. The cells were observed under the contrast phase microscope each day. After 48 h, cell proliferation was assayed by MTT method. The alkaline phasphatase (ALP) activities and calcium contents were measured after 3, 6, 9, and 12 days. The ALP positive colonies were histochemically stained after 10 days and the calcified nodules were stained by Alizarin Bordeaux after 12 days. Expressions of ALP, bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) and Osterix (OSX) mRNA were measured at 0 h, 24 h, 48 h and 96 h.
Results: The cells exposed to the SEMFs were arranged in spiral appearance after 3 days. Compared with control, SEMFs inhibited cell proliferation (P < 0.01 or P < 0.05), but enhanced the maturation and mineralization of the osteoblasts. The results showed that SEMFs improved ALP activities, promoted calcium contents, increased calcified nodulues numbers, boosted expressions of ALP, BMP-2 and OSX mRNA. SEMFs with magnetic lines of force in parallel has stronger activities than those in vertical.
Conclusion: The SEMFs at 1.8 mT and 50 Hz inhibit the proliferation of osteoblasts, but enhance the maturation and mineralization of osteoblasts.

The current paper describes the creation of a simultaneous trimodal neuroimaging protocol. The authors detail their methodological design for a subsequent large-scale study, demonstrate the ability to obtain the expected physiologically induced responses across cerebrovascular domains, and describe the pitfalls experienced when developing this approach. Approach: Electroencephalography (EEG), functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), and transcranial Doppler ultrasound (TCD) were combined to provide an assessment of neuronal activity, microvascular oxygenation, and upstream artery velocity, respectively.

Purpose: This paper reports a study of electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure of several adult insects: a ladybug, a honey bee worker, a wasp, and a mantis at frequencies ranging from 2.5 to 100 GHz. The purpose was to estimate the specific absorption rate (SAR) in insect tissues, including the brain, in order to predict the possible biological effects caused by EMF energy absorption.

Suboptimal spatial utilization and inefficient access to internal porosity preclude porous carbon cathodes from delivering high energy density in zinc-ion hybrid capacitors (ZIHCs). Inspired by the function of capillaries in biological systems, this study proposes a facile coordination-pyrolysis method to fabricate thin-walled hollow carbon nanofibers (CNFs) with optimized pore structure and surface functional groups for ZHICs. The capillary-like CNFs maximize the electrode/electrolyte interface area, facilitating the optimal utilization of energy storage sites.

Nonlinearity is a crucial characteristic for implementing hardware security primitives or neuromorphic computing systems. The main feature of all memristive devices is this nonlinear behavior observed in their current-voltage characteristics. To comprehend the nonlinear behavior, we have to understand the coexistence of resistive, capacitive, and inertia (virtual inductive) effects in these devices.

This study investigates human semicircular canal (SCC) dynamics under off-center rotational conditions. Previous research has modeled human rotational perception and the dynamic response of the SCCs by assuming a centered rotation state, where the rotation axis aligns with the SCC's center. However, this assumption is not representative of most real-life rotational situations.
