함정에 의한 수중 정자기장 신호는 수중 방사소음 신호에 비해 상대적으로 거리에 따라 급격히 감소되는 특성을 가지지만 근거리에서 정확한 표적 탐지가 가능하므로 감응 기뢰 체계에서 기폭 신호를 제공하는 신호원으로 널리 사용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 상용 전자기 해석 도구를 활용하여 함정 선체, 내부 구조물 및 주요 탑재장비들에 의한 수중 정자기장 신호 특성 예측 결과에 대해 상세히 기술하였으며, 추가로 대상 함정에 소자코일을 배치하여 소자 효과도 분석을 수행하였다.

자기장에 대하여 우리는 부지불식간에 많이 노출되고 있고 이와 관련된 영향에 대한 연구도 많이 진행되어 왔다. 역학 조사를 통한 연구도 있고, 실험실 수준의 연구도 있다. 실험실 수준의 연구의 경우, 인위적인 자기장 생성을 통해서 세포에 자극을 가하고 이에 대한 영향을 관찰한다. 세포 실험에서 많이 사용되는 주파수와 파형은 다양하지만, 그 크기는 보통 10G 내외이다. 지구 자계의 크기인 300-400mG 정도와 비교하면 크다고 할 수 없으나, 오래 전부터 이 환경에 적응되어 왔기 때문에 인위적으로 가하는 자기장 세기의 3-4%의 크기지만 무시할 수 없다. 본 연구에서는 주변 자기장에 대한 영향을 고려하여 실험할 수 있도록 양방향 정자계 생성이 가능한 자기장 발생 장치를 설계하고 구현하였다. 제안된 시스템으로 조절 가능한 정자계의 크기는 ${\pm}500mG({\pm}50uT)$까지이며 최소 ${\pm}5mG({\pm}0.5uT)$까지 주변 자기장을 실시간으로 상쇄시킬 수 있었다.

심각한 기후변화로 인한 농업의 생산성 약화에 대비하기 위해 식물 성장을 촉진할 수 있는 방안에 대한 연구가 요구되고 있다. 식물성장을 촉진하는 방법으로 자기장을 이용하는 방법이 소개되고 있지만, 식물에 자기장을 인가하는 효과적인 방법에 대해서는 아직까지 자세히 연구된 문헌이 없다. 본 논문에서는 인가하는 정적 자기장의 세기, 자기장의 인가 방향, 자기장 노출 시간 변화에 따른 무순(radish sprouts)의 성장과 초기발아 효과에 대해 실험을 하고. 효과적인 자기장 노출 방법에 대해 조사하였다. 실험의 결과를 종합하면 자기장에 노출되지 않은 무순 보다 자기장에 노출된 무순의 초기발아가 약 3~4일정도 빠른 것으로 나타났고, 효율적인 무순의 성장을 위해서는 자기장의 세기를 적절히 선택해야 함을 알 수 있었고, 자기장의 인가 방향에 따라서는 큰 영향을 받지 않는 것을 알 수 있었다.

In ultra-low field magnetic resonance imaging (ULF-MRI), the strength of a static magnetic field can be comparable to that of gradient field. On that occasion, the gradient field is accompanied by concomitant gradient field, which yields distortion and blurring artifacts on MR images. Here, we focused on the distortion artifact and derived the equations capable of correcting it. Its usefulness was confirmed through the corrections in both simulated and experimental images. This solution will be effective for acquiring more accurate images in low and/or ultra-low magnetic fields.

This paper describes the magnetic orientation of bull sperm separated into the head and the flagellum treated by DTT or heparin in a 5,400G static field. Semen samples collected from four bulls (Japanese Black) were mixed to the same sperm density. One percentage triton X-100 was used to extract the plasma membrane. The intact and demembranated sperm suspensions were treated with 20, 200, 2,000 mM DTT, 100, 1,000 or 10,000 units heparin solutions at $4^{\circ}C$ for 6 days. The decondensation of the sperm nuclei treated by DTT or heparin was examined by measuring the head area at 1, 3 and 6 days. After measuring the area, each sample was exposed to a 5,400G static magnetic field generated by Nd-Fe-B permanent magnets for 24 hours at room temperature. Results showed that the sperms were separated into the head and the flagellum through the DTT treatment. Almost of the separated heads showed that their long axis oriented perpendicularly to the magnetic lines of force, and most of the long axis perpendicularly oriented heads showed that their flat plane oriented perpendicularly in a 5,400G magnetic field. Also, the demembranation of the head tended to increase those perpendicular orientations, while those perpendicular orientations of the head declined with the decondensation of the sperm nuclei. These findings suggest that strong magnetic anisotropy for the perpendicular orientation of the long axis and the flat plane of the head occurs in the sperm nuclei in a 5,400G magnetic field. The separated flagellum showed lower parallel orientation, and the separated and demembranated flagellum showed parallel orientation to the magnetic lines of force in this magnetic field. These findings suggest that weak magnetic anisotropy of the parallel orientation of the flagellum occurs in the inside components in a 5,400G field.

Portable low-cost magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems have the potential to enable "point-of-care" and timely MRI diagnosis, and to make this imaging modality available to routine scans and to people in underdeveloped countries and areas. With simplicity, no maintenance, no power consumption, and low cost, permanent magnets/magnet arrays/magnet assemblies are attractive to be used as a source of static magnetic field to realize the portability and to lower the cost for an MRI scanner. However, when taking the canonical Fourier imaging approach and using linear gradient fields, homogeneous fields are required in a scanner, resulting in the facts that either a bulky magnet/magnet array is needed, or the imaging volume is too small to image an organ if the magnet/magnet array is scaled down to a portable size. Recently, with the progress on image reconstruction based on non-linear gradient field, static field patterns without spatial linearity can be used as spatial encoding magnetic fields (SEMs) to encode MRI signals for imaging. As a result, the requirements for the homogeneity of the static field can be relaxed, which allows permanent magnets/magnet arrays with reduced sizes, reduced weight to image a bigger volume covering organs such as a head. It offers opportunities of constructing a truly portable low-cost MRI scanner. For this exciting potential application, permanent magnets/magnet arrays have attracted increased attention recently. A magnet/magnet array is strongly associated with the imaging volume of an MRI scanner, image reconstruction methods, and RF excitation and RF coils, etc. through field patterns and field homogeneity. This paper offers a review of permanent magnets and magnet arrays of different kinds, especially those that can be used for spatial encoding towards the development of a portable and low-cost MRI system. It is aimed to familiarize the readers with relevant knowledge, literature, and the latest updates of the development on permanent magnets and magnet arrays for MRI. Perspectives on and challenges of using a permanent magnet/magnet array to supply a patterned static magnetic field, which does not have spatial linearity nor high field homogeneity, for image reconstruction in a portable setup are discussed.

1930년 초에 자기장과 식물의 성장률이 관계가 있음이 보고된바 있다. 이것은 자기장이 세포의 활성화를 촉진시키기 때문인 것으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 아직 식물의 성장에 자기장의 세기가 미치는 영향에 대한 연구가 미흡하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 무순(radish sprouts)을 이용하여 자기장이 무순(radish sprouts)의 성장에 미치는 영향력을 관찰하였다. 인가하는 자기장의 세기가 20, 40, 60mT 일 때 무순의 성장 변화를 측정하였고, 60mT 일 때 가장 빠르게 성장하는 것을 확인하였다.

In this paper, a new and simple method is proposed to quickly estimate the induced electric field in the human child exposed to a 100 kHz-10 MHz magnetic field, for the sake of electromagnetic field (EMF) safety assessment. The quasi-static finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method is used to calculate the induced electric fields in high resolution 3D human child models with various body size parameters, in order to derive the correction factor for the estimation equation. The calculations are repeated for various frequencies and incident angles of the magnetic field. Based on these calculation results, a new and simple estimation equation for the 99th percentile value of the body electric field is derived that depends on the body size parameters, and the incident magnetic field. The estimation errors were equal to or less than 5.1%, for all cases considered.

An E-OPMT(Electronically-controllable OPMT) was developed as an alternative of OPMT which could adjust the direction of the generated guided waves in a plate manually. The key idea of controlling the wave direction electronically is based on a few sets of axisymmetric figure-of-eight coils and the magnet which is located for making static omni-directionally biasing magnetic field over the patch. However, in order to explain wave phenomenon generated by this transducer, a new approach is required because there are various combinations between static biasing magnetic field and dynamic actuating magnetic field on the patch, not similar to OPMT. In this paper, the experiments were performed to understand characteristics of E-OPMT and the new theoretical analysis was set up for explaining the result.

In this paper, a Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) employed in an electric vehicle (EV) is designed using the finite element method (FEM). The static torque of the SRM is estimated through magnetic field analysis. The SRM temperature rise over operation time is estimated through heat transfer analysis. First, static torque and temperature rise over the time of 600W SRM is included in the experiment set, and are compared with the calculated results using the FEM under the same conditions. The validity of the magnetic field analysis and heat transfer analysis is verified by the comparisons. In addition, a 60 [kW] SRM employed in an EV, whose output characteristics are equal to a 1500 [cc] gasoline engine, is designed under magnetic field analysis and heat transfer analysis.
