Article Abstract

A Conduction cooled superconducting magnet (SM) for human magnetic resonance imaging, made of NbSn superconducting coils, has been designed. The magnet features a warm bore with a diameter of 850 mm and a central field strength of 7 T. The size and positioning of a bundle of seven epoxy-impregnated coils were determined using both linear and nonlinear optimization methods. These methods ensured that the superconducting coils achieved a magnetic field uniformity of 10 ppm within a 400 mm diameter spherical volume (DSV). The magnet was designed to operate at a current of 250 A in a cryogenic system, and its temperature will be maintained below 8 K through conduction cooling provided by a Gifford-McMahon (G-M) cryocooler at its second-stage cooling capacity. The SM and its cryogenic system were designed according to a comprehensive analysis of the mechanical and thermal features of the magnet system. The design was evaluated and validated by Finite Elements simulations. The results confirmed that the magnet is capable of stable and reliable operation at low temperatures, effectively achieving conduction cooling.

The frequency and severity of heat waves are expected to worsen with climate change. Exposure to extreme heat, or prolonged unusually high temperatures, are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The fetus, infant, and young child are more sensitive to higher temperatures than older children and most adults given that they are rapidly developing.

In charge detection mass spectrometry (CD-MS) ions are trapped in an electrostatic linear ion trap (ELIT) where they oscillate back and forth through a conducting cylinder. The oscillating ions induce a periodic charge separation that is detected by a charge sensitive amplifier (CSA) connected to the cylinder. The resulting time domain signal is analyzed using short-time Fourier transforms to give the mass-to-charge ratio and charge for each ion, which are then multiplied to give the mass.

The significant global energy consumption strongly emphasizes the crucial role of net-zero or green structures in ensuring a sustainable future. Considering this aspect, incorporating thermal insulation materials into building components is a well-accepted method that helps to enhance thermal comfort in buildings. Furthermore, integrating architectural components made from solid refuse materials retrieved from the environment can have significant environmental benefits.

Transition of Structurally Distinct Amyloids in the Degradation of Protein Materials.

Chemistry Division, Code 6176, US Naval Research Laboratory, Washington, D.C. 20375, United States.

Amyloid materials are formed from the aggregation of single proteins, yet contain polymorphisms where bulk properties are defined by a composition of multiple fibril types. Though desirable as a sustainable material, little is known about how various fibril types survive at high temperatures or in nonpolar solvents due to their highly similar molecular and nanoscale features. Here, we demonstrate that in situ two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy (2DIR), when paired with nanoscale microscopy, can determine the transition temperature of amyloid subpopulations without the use of labels.
