The development of large, single grain bulk superconductors by melt processing techniques has generated a need to characterize samples magnetically over large dimensions, exceeding typically 20 mm in diameter. The usual magnetic characterization gives relies on miniature Hall probe mapping and gives information about the field distribution above the sample surface. If volume properties are required (e.g. magnetization hysteresis loops), the sample needs to be cut in smaller pieces, since the DC magnetic characterization systems for measurements at cryogenic temperatures generally accommodate samples of relatively small size (typically < 5-10 mm diameter). In this work we describe how the hysteresis B(H) loops of large bulk superconducting samples exceeding 10 mm diameter can be determined using home-made sensing coils, either in liquid nitrogen or within the experimental chamber of a Quantum Design Physical Property Measurement System (PPMS). Magnetic properties are measured and compared to those given by several Hall probes attached to both faces of sample. The system is used successfully to measure the DC hysteresis loops of entire (RE)BCO bulk superconducting domains. A careful data acquisition and numerical integration of pick-up coil voltage enables the sweep rate of the magnetic field to be varied from 0.5 to 10 mT/s while keeping an excellent signal/noise ratio. A simple model based on demagnetizing field approach is used to emphasize how the hysteresis loops determined by this technique differ from “true” magnetization loops derived from classical magnetic moment measurements (e.g. SQUID or VSM). These differences are supported with numerical modelling of the average magnetization of the bulk sample using the Brandt method. [less ▲]

The Juno spacecraft will arrive at Jupiter in 2016 and will go into polar orbit. Juno will make the first exploration of the polar regions of Jupiter's vast magnetosphere, combining in situ particles and fields measurements with remote sensing of auroral emissions in the UV, IR and radio. The primary science period comprises ~30 orbits with 11-day periods with a~1.06Rj perijove, allowing Juno to duck under the hazardous synchrotron radiation belts. Apojove is at ~38Rj. The oblateness of the planet causes the orbit to precess with the major axis moving progressively south at about 1 degree per orbit, eventually bringing the spacecraft into the radiation belts. This orbit allows unprecedented views of the aurora and exploration of the auroral acceleration regions. We present an overview of anticipated Juno observations based on models of the Jovian magnetosphere. On approach to Jupiter and over a capture orbit that extends to ~180Rj on the dawn flank, Juno will traverse the magnetosheath, magnetopause and boundary layer regions of the magnetosphere. Due to the high plasma pressures in the magnetospheric plasmasheet the magnetosphere of Jupiter is known to vary substantially with the changes in the solar wind dynamic pressure. We use Ulysses solar wind data obtained around 5 AU to predict the conditions that Juno will observe over the several months it will spend in these boundary regions. [less ▲]

This study was conducted during three production cycles of the third year of vegetation. The main objective was to determine the production of dry matter (DM) and crude protein (CP) made under the influence of mixture and fertilization with nitrogen on P50 agrofond to alfalfa and orchard grass. To achieve these objectives, three variants of mixture were tested between alfalfa and cocksfoot that were applied to four rates of mineral fertilizers. The mixture 75% alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) and 25% orchard grass (Dactylis glomerata L.) under the effect of dosing with N100P50achieved the highest production increase of DM on cycle I, 108% (5.24 Mg haDM) compared to the control, unfertilized alfalfa in pure culture (4.85 Mg ha DM). The highest increase forthe CP yield was obtained on cycle I from the 100% alfalfa fertilized with doses of N-1-1100P50, 122% (1230 kg haCP) from 100% alfalfa unfertilized (1009 kg ha CP). Alfalfa fertilized with N-1-1100P50 rate had the highest increases on total DM yield (106%, 10.64 Mg haDM) and on total quantity of CP(124%, 2304 kg ha CP). [less ▲]
