A commercially pure (c.p.) nickel powder was consolidated by Medium-Frequency Electrical Resistance Sintering (MF-ERS). In this consolidation technique, a pressure and the heat released by a high-intensity and low-voltage electrical current are concurrently applied to a metal powder mass. A nickel powder with a high tap porosity (86%) and a low applied pressure (only 100 MPa) is chosen in order to be able to obtain compacts with different levels of porosity, to facilitate the study of the porosity influence on the compact properties. The influence of current intensity and heating time on the global porosity values, the porosity and microhardness distribution, and the electrical conductivity of the sintered compacts is studied. The properties of the compacts consolidated by MF-ERS are compared with the results obtained by the conventional powder metallurgy route, consisting of cold pressing and furnace sintering. A universal equation to describe the porosity influence on all the analyzed properties of powder aggregates and sintered compacts is proposed and validated.

In recent years, the modulation of brain neural activity by applied electromagnetic fields has become a hot spot in neuroscience research. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) are two common non-invasive neuromodulation techniques. However, conventional tACS has limited stimulation effects in the deeper parts of the brain.

Article Synopsis
- The Aussie Current (AC) is a type of electrical current used for pain relief, muscle strengthening, and increasing torque, but its effectiveness is still debated.
- This systematic review analyzed 21 studies to evaluate the impact of AC on pain, muscle strength, torque, comfort, and functionality, finding a mix of low and high-quality evidence.
- The prevailing frequency used was 1 kHz, yet the diversity in study methodologies indicates a need for more research to confirm AC's benefits.
Prognostic Value of Burst Pacing Inducibility Post-Radiofrequency Versus Cryoablation for Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation.

Article Synopsis
- - A study on 367 patients undergoing ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) compared outcomes between radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and cryoablation (CRA) to see how inducibility affects AF recurrence, following patients for 600 days.
- - Results showed no significant difference in AF recurrence rates between the RFA (17%) and CRA (19%) groups, but inducibility through burst pacing (BP) was a strong predictor of recurrence in the RFA group, especially with low-frequency burst pacing (LFBP).
- - In contrast, inducibility by BP after CRA did not predict recurrence, indicating that different ablation methods might yield different risks for returning AF.

This paper presents the fabrication and characterization of plane capacitors utilizing magnetodielectric materials composed of magnetizable microfibers dispersed within a silicone oil matrix. The microfibers, with a mean diameter of about 0.94 μm, comprise hematite (α-FeO), maghemite (γ-FeO), and magnetite (FeO).

This study aims to develop low-cost, eco-friendly, and circular economy-compliant composite materials by creating three types of magnetorheological suspensions (MRSs) utilizing lard, carbonyl iron (CI) microparticles, and varying quantities of gelatin particles (GP). These MRSs serve as dielectric materials in cylindrical cells used to fabricate electric capacitors. The equivalent electrical capacitance () of these capacitors is measured under different magnetic flux densities (B≤160 mT) superimposed on a medium-frequency electric field ( = 1 kHz) over a period of 120 s.
