1Magnetic Surveying in Archaeology (book) — Magnetic Surveying in Archaeology (Wormianum, 2008, ISBN 978 87 89531 29 8) is a book written by Russian archaeologist T. N. Smekalova together with O. Voss and S. L. Smekalov. In the book researches collected information about magnetic… …
2Magnetic immunoassay — (MIA) is a novel type of diagnostic immunoassay using magnetic beads as labels in lieu of conventional enzymes (ELISA), radioisotopes (RIA) or fluorescent moieties (fluorescent immunoassays). This assay involves the specific binding of an… …
3Magnetic flux leakage — (MFL) is a magnetic method of nondestructive testing that is used to detect corrosion and pitting in steel structures, most commonly pipelines and storage tanks. The basic principle is that a powerful magnet is used to magnetize the steel. At… …
4Magnetic-core memory — A 32 x 32 core memory plane storing 1024 bits of data. Computer memory types Volatile RAM DRAM (e.g., DDR SDRAM) SRA …
5magnetic character reading — /mægˌnetɪk kærɪktə ˌri:dɪŋ/, magnetic ink character recognition /mægˌnetɪk ɪŋk ˌkærɪktə ˌrekəg nɪʃ(ə)n/ noun a system that recognises characters by sensing magnetic ink (used on cheques). Abbreviation MCR, MICR …
6magnetic compass — A compass that acquires its directive force from the attraction of the horizontal component of the earth’s magnetic field. The simplest type is a magnetized needle or a sensing element free to turn with a minimum of friction in any horizontal… …
7Remote sensing — There are two kinds of remote sensing. Passive sensors detect natural energy (radiation) that is emitted or reflected by the object or surrounding area being observed. Reflected sunlight is the most common source of radiation measured by passive… …
8Transcranial magnetic stimulation — For other uses, see TMS (disambiguation). Transcranial magnetic stimulation Intervention rTMS in a rod …
9Controlled source electro-magnetic — The Controlled Source Electromagnetic (CSEM) method is an offshore geophysical technique[1] [2], employing electromagnetic remote sensing technology to indicate the presence and extent of hydrocarbon accumulations below the seabed. The CSEM… …
10Magnetoception — (or magnetoreception) is the ability to detect a magnetic field to perceive direction, altitude or location. This sense plays a role in the navigational abilities of several animal species and has been postulated as a method for animals to… …
