Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is a functional neuroimaging technique for mapping brain activity by recording magnetic fields produced by electrical currents occurring naturally in the brain, using very sensitive magnetometers. Arrays of SQUIDs(Superconducting quantum interference devices) are currently the most common magnetometer, while the SERF(pin exchange relaxation- free) magnetometer is being investigated for future machines.

ABSTRACT BACKROUND: Anaemia during pregnancy is a major public health problem throughout the world, particularly the developing countries. It is a condition in which the number and size of red blood cells ,or hemoglobin concentration falls below the established cut-off value; less than 110g/L for children under 5years and pregnant women, and less than 120 g/L for non-pregnant women which consequently impair the capacity of blood to transport oxygen around the body. Globally, it affects ...
ABSTRACT This study is aimed at determining the effect of methanol and ethanol extracts of Raphia vinifera fruit mesocarp on the hematological parameters of Wistar albino rats. Twenty one (21) healthy male Wistar rats (166-274g) were randomly assigned into three groups (n=3) thus: control, methanol and ethanol groups with 50mg/kg, 100mg/kg and 1000mg/kg dosages. Both methanol and ethanol groups were treated with daily oral administration of 0.1ml of the extracts for 14 days. Blood samples we...

It is fairly certain now that the nucleons within nuclear matter are in a state made rather different from their free condition by the proximity of other nucleons .Charge independence of nuclear forces demand the existence of neutral mes...
