This book was released on 1985-11-30 with total page 712 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mystery of how migrating animals find their way over unfamiliar terrain has intrigued people for centuries, and has been the focus of productive research in the biological sci ences for several decades. Whether or not the earth's magnetic field had anything to do with their navigational abilities has sufaced and been dismissed several times, beginning at least in the mid to late 1800s. This topic generally remained out of the mainstream of scientific research for two reasons: (1) The apparent irreproducibility of many of the be havioral experiments which were supposed to demonstrate the existence of the magnetic sense; and (2) Perceived theoretical difficulties which were encountered when biophysi cists tried to understand how such a sensory system might operate. However, during the mid to late 1960s as the science of ethology (animal behavior) grew, it became clear from studies on bees and birds that the geomagnetic field is used under a variety of conditions. As more and more organisms were found to have similar abilities, the problem shifted back to the question as to the basis of this perception. Of the various schemes for trans ducing the geomagnetic field to the nervous system which have been proposed, the hy pothesis of magnetite-based magnetoreception discussed at length in this volume has per haps the best potential for explaining a wide range of these effects, even though this link is as yet clear only in the case of magnetotactic bacteria.

Book excerpt: Magnetite is the most magnetic of all the naturally occurring minerals on Earth. Naturally magnetised pieces of magnetite, called lodestone, will attract small pieces of iron, and this was how ancient man first discovered the property of magnetism. This book gathers and presents current research from across the globe in the study of magnetite; its structure, properties and applications. Some topics discussed, herein, include adsorption and magnetothermal phenomena of high-disperse magnetite; electrochemical properties of magnetite and its role in flow accelerated corrosion; the unique structures and properties of magnetite and its relevance to biology and biotechnology; the synthesis methods of magnetite particles in wet chemistry; and magnetic hyperthermia studies in magnetite ferrofluids.

Download or read book Magnetite written by Jacqueline Ward and published by Gazelle Book Services, Limited. This book was released on 2014-01-01 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Magnetite is one of the two most important iron ores, the other being hematite. Although hematite is more abundant world-wide, magnetite is more widely used in North America. Some of the notable iron ranges in the US include the Mesabi Range in Minnesota and the Marquette and Menominee Ranges of Michigan. Magnetite is a black, opaque, magnetic mineral, and its spinal crystal structure contains both the ferrous (Fe+2) and ferric (Fe+3) forms of iron ions, and exhibits a ferromagnetic property. Magnetite ore is upgraded by magnetic separation from a low-grade taconite ore. This book discusses the synthesis, uses and biological occurrences of magnetite.

Download or read book Rock Magnetism written by David J. Dunlop and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a comprehensive treatment of fine particle magnetism and the magnetic properties of rocks. Starting from atomic magnetism and magneotistic principles, the authors explain why domains and micromagnetic structures form in ferrmagnetic crystals and how these lead to magnetic memory in the form of thermal, chemical and other remanent magnetizations. This book will be of value to graduate students and researchers in geophysics and geology, particularly in palemagnetism and rock magnetism, as well as physicists and electrical engineers interested in fine-particle magnetism and magnetic recording.
