Below the Schwinger critical magnetic field value, quantum vacuum and gamma-ray bursts delay by Iver H. Brevik, Moshe M. Chaichian, Anca Tureanu

“…As a rough estimate, we show that the time delay τ of gamma-ray bursts (GRB) having traveled through the entire cosmological distances in an average strong magnetic field such as 106 Tesla, reaches an experimentally considerable value of τ=2.4 hours. Of course in the vicinity of magnetars, the magnetic field is much stronger, of the order of 109−1011 Tesla. …”

Black Carbon Exposure Characteristics in Diesel Engine Vehicle-related Jobs by Sangjun Choi, Ju-Hyun Park, Won Kim, Seung Won Kim, Kyong-Hui Lee, Taejin Chung, Jihoon Park, Seung-Hun Ryu, Jungah Shin, Dong-Hee Koh, Dong-Uk Park

“…The workers chosen for this study (N = 106) measured their exposure every minute using an AE51 microAethalometer affixed to a microcyclone and also recorded their time-activity patterns and whereabouts in detail during working hours. We then categorized and analyzed 71,987 of these 1-min observations based on four potential exposure determinants: the operation of a diesel engine vehicle (yes or no), proximity to the source of BC (near or far), location of the workplace (indoor or outdoor), and type of work (moving or stationary). …”
