▼ The best tools we have for understanding the origin of solar magnetic variability are kinematic dynamo models. During the last decade, this type of models has seen a continuous evolution and has become increasingly successful at reproducing solar cycle characteristics. The basic ingredients of these models are: the solar differential rotation - which acts as the main source of energy for the system by shearing the magnetic field; the meridional circulation - which plays a crucial role in magnetic field transport; the turbulent diffusivity - which attempts to capture the effect of convective turbulence on the large scale magnetic field; and the poloidal field source - which closes the cycle by regenerating the poloidal magnetic field. However, most of these ingredients remain poorly constrained which allows one to obtain solar-like solutions by "tuning" the input parameters, leading to controversy regarding which parameter set is more appropriate. In this thesis we revisit each of those ingredients in an attempt to constrain them better by using observational data and theoretical considerations, reducing the amount of free parameters in the model. For the meridional flow and differential rotation we use helioseismic data to constrain free parameters and find that the differential rotation is well determined, but the available data can only constrain the latitudinal dependence of the meridional flow. For the turbulent magnetic diffusivity we show that combining mixing-length theory estimates with magnetic quenching allows us to obtain viable magnetic cycles and that the commonly used diffusivity profiles can be understood as a spatiotemporal average of this process. For the poloidal source we introduce a more realistic way of modeling active region emergence and decay and find that this resolves existing discrepancies between kinematic dynamo models and surface flux transport simulations. We also study the physical mechanisms behind the unusually long minimum of cycle 23 and find it to be tied to changes in the meridional flow. Finally, by carefully constraining the system through surface magnetic field observations, we find that what is believed to be the primary source of poloidal field (also known as Babckock-Leigthon mechanism) may not be enough to sustain the solar magnetic cycle.

▼ Twist of magnetic field is believed to play important role in driving instabilities that result in eruptive events on the Sun. This thesis provides different methods to measure twist in the solar corona. First, given a model of coronal field, twist of a magnetic domain (i.e., a volume that contains all field lines connecting two regions of interest in the photosphere) is well studied for cases when the domain is a thin cylinder. For cases when such approximation is inapplicable a generalization of twist can be derived from a quantity called additive self-helicity. I develop explicit numerical methods to compute generalized twist. I also demonstrate that such a quantity sets a threshold on kink instability like the traditional twist does for thin cylinders. In a more realistic scenario, coronal magnetic field is not known and so neither is its helicity. There are two principal methods to overcome this problem. The first is to integrate helicity flux across the photosphere (as helicity is believed to be approximately conserved in the corona) using magnetic field on Sun's surface. There is little published evidence as yet that coronal helicity indeed corresponds to its integrated photospheric flux. The second is to extrapolate the coronal magnetic field using surface measurements as boundary conditions and use this extrapolation for helicity computation; for fields with complicated structure such extrapolations are extremely challenging and suffer from major drawbacks. I develop a method to estimate twist of coronal fields without attempting complicated extrapolations or studying helicity flux. The method builds a simple uniformly-twisted magnetic field and adjusts its properties until there is one line in this field that matches one coronal loop; this is repeated for all evident coronal loops resulting in twist measurements for each individual loop. I use this method to demonstrate that the rate of change of twist in the solar corona is indeed approximately equal to the one derived from photospheric helicity flux. The results of this dissertation are useful for better understanding of magnetic topology in general. They are also extremely promising for extrapolating coronal magnetic fields. Measurements of coronal twist might aid in predicting magnetic instabilities. Advisors/Committee Members: Chairperson, Graduate Committee: Dana W. Longcope. (advisor).

▼ The magnetic (B) field is ubiquitous throughout the Milky Way. Several fundamental questions about the B-field in the cool, star-forming interstellar medium (ISM) remain unanswered. In this dissertation, near-infrared (NIR) polarimetric observations are used to study the large-scale Galactic B-field in the cool ISM in a spiral arm and to determine the role of B-fields in the formation of Infrared Dark Clouds (IRDCs). NIR polarimetry of 31 star clusters, located in and around the Perseus spiral arm, were obtained to determine the orientation of the plane-of-sky B-field in the outer Galaxy, and whether the presence of a spiral arm influenced B-field properties. Cluster distances, which provide upper limits to the B-field probed by observations, were estimated by developing a maximum likelihood method to fit theoretical stellar isochrones to stars in cluster color-magnitude diagrams (CMDs). Using the distance estimates, the cluster locations relative to the Perseus arm were found. The cluster polarization percentages and orientations were compared between clusters foreground to the arm and clusters inside or behind the arm. The cluster polarization orientations are predominantly parallel to the Galactic plane. Clusters inside and behind the arm have larger polarization percentages, likely a result of more polarizing material along the line of sight. The cluster polarization data were also compared to optical, inner Galaxy NIR, and Planck submm polarimetry data, and showed agreement with all three data sets. The polarimetric properties of one IRDC, G28.23, were determined using deep NIR observations. The polarization orientations relative to the cloud major axis were found to change directions with distance from the cloud axis. The B-field strength was estimated to be 10 to 100uG. Despite these large inferred B-field strengths, the B-field was found not to be the dominant force in the formation of the IRDC, though the B-field morphology was influenced by the cloud. Using NIR observations, the B-field of 27 IRDCs were studied. The relative polarization orientations with respect to the cloud major axes were found. No preferential relative orientation was found, implying that the B-field did not greatly influence the formation of this sample of IRDCs.

▼ Indoor localization consists of locating oneself inside new buildings. GPS does not work indoors due to multipath reflection and signal blockage. WiFi based systems assume ubiquitous availability and infrastructure based systems require expensive installations, hence making indoor localization an open problem. This dissertation consists of solving the problem of indoor localization by thoroughly exploiting the indoor ambient magnetic fields comprising mainly of disturbances termed as anomalies in the Earth’s magnetic field caused by pillars, doors and elevators in hallways which are ferromagnetic in nature. By observing uniqueness in magnetic signatures collected from different campus buildings, the work presents the identification of landmarks and guideposts from these signatures and further develops magnetic maps of buildings - all of which can be used to locate and navigate people indoors. To understand the reason behind these anomalies, first a comparison between the measured and model generated Earth’s magnetic field is made, verifying the presence of a constant field without any disturbances. Then by modeling the magnetic field behavior of different pillars such as steel reinforced concrete, solid steel, and other structures like doors and elevators, the interaction of the Earth’s field with the ferromagnetic fields is described thereby explaining the causes of the uniqueness in the signatures that comprise these disturbances. Next, by employing the dynamic time warping algorithm to account for time differences in signatures obtained from users walking at different speeds, an indoor localization application capable of classifying locations using the magnetic signatures is developed solely on the smart phone. The application required users to walk short distances of 3-6 m anywhere in hallway to be located with accuracies of 80-99%. The classification framework was further validated with over 90% accuracies using model generated magnetic signatures representing hallways with different kinds of pillars, doors and elevators. All in all, this dissertation contributes the following: 1) provides a framework for understanding the presence of ambient magnetic fields indoors and utilizing them to solve the indoor localization problem; 2) develops an application that is independent of the user and the smart phones and 3) requires no other infrastructure since it is deployed on a device that encapsulates the sensing, computing and inferring functionalities, thereby making it a novel contribution to the mobile and pervasive computing domain.

▼ In magnetised plasmas, magnetic reconnection is the process of magnetic field merging and recombination through which considerable amounts of magnetic energy may be converted into other forms of energy. Reconnection is a key mechanism for solar flares and coronal mass ejections in the solar atmosphere, it is believed to be an important source of heating of the solar corona, and it plays a major role in the acceleration of particles in the Earth's magnetotail. For reconnection to occur, the magnetic field must, in localised regions, be able to diffuse through the plasma. Ideal locations for diffusion to occur are electric current layers formed from rapidly changing magnetic fields in short space scales. In this thesis we consider the formation and nature of these current layers in magnetised plasmas. The study of current sheets and current layers in two, and more recently, three dimensions, has been a key field of research in the last decades. However, many of these studies do not take plasma pressure effects into consideration, and rather they consider models of current sheets where the magnetic forces sum to zero. More recently, others have started to consider models in which the plasma beta is non-zero, but they simply focus on the actual equilibrium state involving a current layer and do not consider how such an equilibrium may be achieved physically. In particular, they do not allow energy conversion between magnetic and internal energy of the plasma on their way to approaching the final equilibrium. In this thesis, we aim to describe the formation of equilibrium states involving current layers at both two and three dimensional magnetic null points, which are specific locations where the magnetic field vanishes. The different equilibria are obtained through the non-resistive dynamical evolution of perturbed hydromagnetic systems. The dynamic evolution relaxes via viscous damping, resulting in viscous heating. We have run a series of numerical experiments using LARE, a Lagrangian-remap code, that solves the full magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations with user controlled viscosity and resistivity. To allow strong current accumulations to be created in a static equilibrium, we set the resistivity to be zero and hence simply reach our equilibria by solving the ideal MHD equations. We first consider the relaxation of simple homogeneous straight magnetic fields embedded in a plasma, and determine the role of the coupling between magnetic and plasma forces, both analytically and numerically. Then, we study the formation of current accumulations at 2D magnetic X-points and at 3D magnetic nulls with spine-aligned and fan-aligned current. At both 2D X-points and 3D nulls with fan-aligned current, the current density becomes singular at the location of the null. It is impossible to be precisely achieve an exact singularity, and instead, we find a gradual continuous increase of the peak current over time, and small, highly localised forces acting to form the singularity. In the 2D case, we give a qualitative… Advisors/Committee Members: Parnell, Clare Elizabeth (advisor).

Le travail réalisé au cours de cette thèse concerne le développement du système de bobines de l'expérience n2EDM à l'Institut Paul Sherrer (PSI). Le but de cette expérience est de mettre en évidence de nouvelles sources de violation CP à travers la mesure du moment dipolaire électrique du neutron. L'actuelle limite supérieure sur la mesure de nEDM, 2.9 oss 10^-26 e.cm (90% C.L.) à été obtenue par la collaboration RAL-Sussex-ILL en 2006.L'expérience n2EDM vise à améliorer d'un ordre de grandeur la sensibilité statistique en gardant sous contrôle les effets systématiques. Cela requiert la production d'un champ magnétique très uniforme. Les non-uniformités de ce dernier sont en effet responsable de la dépolarisation des neutrons et impliqués dans plusieurs effets systématiques.Dans le premier chapitre, les motivations physiques sont discutées.Le second chapitre décrit le principe de mesure de l'expérience n2EDM, ainsi que l'importance de l'uniformité du champ magnétique. Le chapitre s'achève par une présentation globale du dispositif expérimental.Le troisième chapitre présente le logiciel COMSOL et discute du design et des performances de la bobine B₀, en charge de la production du champ magnétique principal.Dans le quatrième chapitre, le système de bobines correctrices chargées de corriger les non-uniformités du champ magnétique et celles devant produire des gradients spécifiques sont présentées.Finalement, le cinquième et dernier chapitre présente l'étude des dipôles magnétiques localisés et de leur influence sur l'expérience.

This work presents the design of the coils system developed for the n2EDM experiment at the Paul Sherrer Institute (PSI). The goal of this experiment is to reveal new sources of CP violation through the measurement of the neutron electric dipole moment. The current upper limit of the nEDM measurement, 2.9 oss 10^-26 e.cm (90% C.L.) was achieved by the RAL-Sussex-ILL collaboration in 2006.The n2EDM experiment aims at improving by one order of magnitude the statistical sensitivity while keeping under control the systematics effects. It requires to produce a very uniform field, its non-uniformities being responsible of the neutron's depolarization and of severals systematic effects.In the first chapter, the theoretical motivation are discussed.The second chapter describes the measurement principle of the n2EDM experiment, as well as the importance of the magnetic field uniformity. This chapter ends by an overview of the apparatus.The third chapter introduces the COMSOL software and discuss the design and the performances of the B0 coil, in charge of the production of the main magnetic field.In the fourth chapter, the correcting coils used to suppress the non-uniformities of the magnetic field and the ones which produce specific gradients are presented.Finally, the fifth and last chapter talks about the study of localised magnetic dipoles and their influence on the experiment.

▼ Solutions of the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations are very important for modelling laboratory, space and astrophysical plasmas, for example the solar and stellar coronae, as well as for modelling many of the dynamic processes that occur in these different plasma environments such as the fundamental process of magnetic reconnection. Our previous understanding of the behavior of plasmas and their associated dynamic processes has been developed through two-dimensional (2D) models. However, a more realistic model should be three-dimensional (3D), but finding 3D solutions of the MHD equations is, in general, a formidable task. Only very few analytical solutions are known and even calculating solutions with numerical methods is usually far from easy. In this thesis, 3D solutions which model magnetic reconnection and rigidly rotating magnetized coronae are presented. For magnetic reconnection, a 3D stationary MHD model is used. However, the complexity of the problem meant that so far no generic analytic solutions for reconnection in 3D exist and most work consists of numerical simulations. This has so far hampered progress in our understanding of magnetic reconnection. The model used here allows for analytic solutions at least up to a certain order of approximation and therefore gives some better insight in the significant differences between 2D and 3D reconnection. Three-dimensional numerical solutions are also obtained for this model. Rigidly rotating magnetized coronae, on the other hand, are modeled using a set of magnetohydrostatic (MHS) equations. A general theoretical framework for calculating 3D MHS solutions outside massive rigidly rotating central bodies is presented. Under certain assumptions, the MHS equations are reduced to a single linear partial differential equation referred to as the fundamental equation of the theory. As a first step, an illustrative case of a massive rigidly rotating magnetized cylinder is considered, which somehow allows for analytic solutions in a certain domain of validity. In general, the fundamental equation of the theory can only be solved numerically and hence numerical example solutions are presented. The theory is then extended to include a more realistic case of massive rigidly rotating spherical bodies. The resulting fundamental equation of the theory in this case is too complicated to allow for analytic solutions and hence only numerical solutions are obtained using similar numerical methods to the ones used in the cylindrical case.

▼ The magnetic field effect (MFE) exerted on charge transport and energy transfer processes in fluorescent small molecule organic semiconductors has been investigated in this thesis. By varying both internal factors such as device structures and external factors such as bias applied, various MFEs have been observed and identified in conductance, photocurrent, photoluminescence (PL), and electroluminescence (EL) measurements at room temperature. The observed MFEs generally consist of so-called low MFE (< 10 mT) and high MFE (< 10 mT) components and can exhibit either positive or negative field dependence. The low MFE is attributed to magnetic field suppression of electron-hole pairs spin mixing via hyperfine interaction between electron spin and nuclear spin. But the triplet-exciton-polaron interaction (T_XPI) is responsible for the high MFE. The trion model has been used to explain the underlying physical origin for T_XPI mechanism with the hypothesis of the doublet and quartet trions as the intermediate states. The magnetic field suppression of spin mixing between doublet and quartet trions results in the various high magnetic field effects. Polaron trapping and de-trapping processes based on T_X-free polaron interaction and T_X-trapped polaron interaction have been identified in NPB based single layer devices. The different characteristic magnetic fields of T_XPI are determined by zero field splitting of T_X and the different electronic coupling between T_X and free/trapped polarons. The magnetic field suppressed energy transfer based on T_xPI has been observed. The existence of doublet trion has been proved with its life time determined to be ~ 120 ps at room temperature in NPB doped by DCJTB device. The T_XPI based energy transfer plays the decisive role in EL generation in doped OLEDs. The evidence of the electronic coupling between T_x and polaron has been proved by the resonance effect in MFE on EL in DCJTB doped organic light emitting diodes. The positive effect of the T_xPI based energy transfer processes can enhance external quantum efficiency of fluorescent doped organic light emitting diodes.

▼ Observations of the surface of the Sun reveal multi-scaled, mixed magnetic features that carpet the entire solar surface. Not surprisingly, the global magnetic fields extrapolated from these observations are highly complex. This thesis explores the topology of the Sun’s global coronal magnetic fields. The magnetic skeleton of a magnetic field provides us with a way of examining the magnetic field and quantifying its complexity. Using specialised codes to find the magnetic skeletons which were written during the course of this work, we first examine potential field extrapolations of the global solar coronal magnetic field determined from observed synoptic magnetograms from the Heliospheric Magnetic Imager on the Solar Dynamics Observatory. The resolution of the PFSS models is found to be very important for discovering the true nature of the global magnetic skeleton. By increasing the maximum number of harmonics used in the potential field extrapolations and, therefore, the grid resolution, 60 times more null points may be found in the coronal magnetic field. These high resolution fields also have a large global separator network which connects the coronal magnetic field over large distances and involves between 40 % and 60 % of all the null points in the solar atmosphere. This global separator network exists at both solar minimum and solar maximum and has separators that reach high into the solar atmosphere (> 1R☉) even though they connect null points close to the solar surface. These potential field extrapolations are then compared with magnetohydrostatic (MHS) extrapolations of the coronal magnetic field which also provide us with information about the plasma in the corona. With a small component of electric current density in the direction perpendicular to the radial direction, these MHS fields are found to have a plasma beta and pressure typical of the corona. As this small component of electric current density grows, the heliospheric current sheet is warped significantly and the magnetic field, plasma beta and pressure become unphysical. Torsional spine reconnection is also studied local to a single null point. First using a dynamical relaxation of a spiral null point under non-resistive magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) to a MHS equilibrium is form in which a current layer has built up around the spine lines. Then the reconnection under resistive MHD in this current sheet is studied. The current about the spine lines is dissipated and the magnetic energy is mainly converted into heat directly as the field lines untwist about the spine line.

▼ Magnetic fields permeate the Universe. They are found in planets, stars, galaxies, and the intergalactic medium. The magnetic field found in these astrophysical systems are usually chaotic, disordered, and turbulent. The investigation of the transport of cosmic rays in magnetic turbulence is a subject of considerable interest. ☐ One of the important aspects of cosmic ray transport is to understand their diffusive behavior and to calculate the diffusion coefficient in the presence of these turbulent fields. Research has most frequently concentrated on determining the diffusion coefficient in the presence of a mean magnetic field. Here, we will particularly focus on calculating diffusion coefficients of charged particles and magnetic field lines in a fully three-dimensional isotropic turbulent magnetic field with no mean field, which may be pertinent to many astrophysical situations. ☐ For charged particles in isotropic turbulence we identify different ranges of particle energy depending upon the ratio of the Larmor radius of the charged particle to the characteristic outer length scale of the turbulence. Different theoretical models are proposed to calculate the diffusion coefficient, each applicable to a distinct range of particle energies. The theoretical ideas are tested against results of detailed numerical experiments using Monte-Carlo simulations of particle propagation in stochastic magnetic fields. ☐ We also discuss two different methods of generating random magnetic field to study charged particle propagation using numerical simulation. One method is the usual way of generating random fields with a specified power law in wavenumber space, using Gaussian random variables. Turbulence, however, is non-Gaussian, with variability that comes in bursts called intermittency. We therefore devise a way to generate synthetic intermittent fields which have many properties of realistic turbulence. Possible applications of such synthetically generated intermittent fields are discussed.

▼ This dissertation examined several methodological aspects of case control studies potentially influencing the association of environmental exposures with the risk of childhood leukemia. These aspects included the role of SES and racial distribution on subjects' participation, the role of selection bias on the association between EMF and childhood leukemia, as well as reproducibility of self-reports of household pesticide exposure. The research presented in this dissertation was made possible by the Northern California Childhood Leukemia Study, an ongoing population-based case-control study, which commenced in 1995. Results of meta-analyses suggest that in interview based case-control studies, cases were more likely to be non-White than White with an overall OR of 1.37 (95% CI 1.13, 1.67). In contrast, in the record-based studies cases, compared to controls, were less likely to be non-White than White, with an overall OR of 0.81 (95% CI 0.72,0.91). Results also indicated that SES was inversely associated with childhood leukemia while using interview based study design while positive association was observed while using record based study design. Chapter Four of this dissertation examined the association between childhood leukemia and extremely low frequency of magnetic fields (measured by wire coding) with an emphasis on selection bias. Results indicated that the observed risk estimate depends on the selected control group. The odds ratios (OR) for developing childhood leukemia in the high-current configurations category were 1.43 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.91, 2.26) compared to the first choice participant controls, while no associations were observed when compared to non-first choice participant controls (OR=1.06, 95% CI: 0.71-1.60) or first choice non-participant controls (OR=1.06, 95% CI: 0.71-1.57). Overall, no association was found between childhood leukemia and EMF as measured by wire configuration codes. Ideal (participating and non-participating) cases assigned to high-current configurations experience a non-significant increased risk of childhood leukemia, when compared to the ideal controls (OR=1.18, 95% CI: 0.85-1.64). Chapter Five assessed the reproducibility of maternal-reported household use of pesticides and potential differential recall between cases and controls. Results indicated that the Kappa statistics ranged from 0.31 to 0.61 (fair to substantial agreement), with 9 out of the 12 tests indicating moderate agreement. The percent positive agreement ranged from 46-80% and the percent negative agreement from 54-95%. Results indicated that the reliability of self-reported exposures for all pesticide categories using the three reliability measures did not differ markedly for cases and controls as confirmed by bootstrap analysis.

▼ Gamma ray photons, with energies >TeV propagating cosmological distances will be attenuated by pair production with diffuse extragalactic background photon fields-both the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation and the UV - far-IR extragalactic background light (EBL). The produced electron/positron pairs will subsequently inverse Compton scatter background photons up to GeV - TeV energies, and some of these upscattered photons may also initiate pair production in the formation of an electromagnetic cascade. If an intergalactic magnetic field (IGMF) exists on cosmological length scales of relevance to the cascade, it will deflect the electrons and positrons and will leave an imprint on the resulting spectral, angular, and temporal properties of the cascade radiation. The primary goal of this study was to constrain the properties of the IGMF using data from known sources of TeV gamma-rays.This thesis describes the construction of a high precision, 3-dimensional, particle-tracking Monte Carlo simulation code to model the intergalactic electromagnetic cascade, and uses it to systematically explore the effects of the IGMF on the cascades in multiple observational domains. We then compare the simulations with gamma-ray data from current generation ground-based gamma-ray instruments such as VERITAS, HESS, and MAGIC, sensitive to TeV-scale energies, as well as the Fermi satellite, sensitive to the GeV-scale.This novel technique of constraining the IGMF has rapidly emerged over the last decade as gamma-ray instruments have become more sensitive and as theoretical understanding of the cascade process has progressed. This emerging field has proven to be richly complex and we find that the data from current generation gamma-ray instruments do not allow for an unambiguous upper or lower limit to be placed on the IGMF at present. We do find it likely that the next generation ground based gamma-ray observatory, the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) will be able to detect unambiguous signatures of gamma-ray cascading if the IGMF magnitude is within a certain range, and thus provide a robust constraint on IGMF properties.

▼ The Sun is the best observed object in astrophysics, but despite this distinction the nature of its well-ordered generation of magnetic field in 11-year activity cycles remains a mystery. In this work, we place the solar cycle in a broader context by examining the long-term variability of solar analog stars within 5% of the solar effective temperature, but varied in rotation rate and metallicity. Emission in the Fraunhofer H & K line cores from singly-ionized calcium in the lower chromosphere is due to magnetic heating, and is a proven proxy for magnetic flux on the Sun. We use Ca H & K observations from the Mount Wilson Observatory HK project, the Lowell Observatory Solar Stellar Spectrograph, and other sources to construct composite activity time series of over 100 years in length for the Sun and up to 50 years for 26 nearby solar analogs. Archival Ca H & K observations of reflected sunlight from the Moon using the Mount Wilson instrument allow us to properly calibrate the solar time series to the S-index scale used in stellar studies. We find the mean solar S-index to be 5-9% lower than previously estimated, and the amplitude of activity to be small compared to active stars in our sample. A detailed look at the young solar analog HD 30495, which rotates 2.3 times faster than the Sun, reveals a large amplitude ~12-year activity cycle and an intermittent short-period variation of 1.7 years, comparable to the solar variability time scales despite its faster rotation. Finally, time series analyses of the solar analog ensemble and a quantitative analysis of results from the literature indicate that truly Sun-like cyclic variability is rare, and that the amplitude of activity over both long and short timescales is linearly proportional to the mean activity. We conclude that the physical conditions conducive to a quasi-periodic magnetic activity cycle like the Sun's are rare in stars of approximately the solar mass, and that the proper conditions may be restricted to a relatively narrow range of rotation rates.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Uterine manipulation is integral to obtaining adequate access to the uterus during a laparoscopic procedure. A variety of mechanical manipulators have been developed to aid the surgeon with the dissection of the uterus during laparoscopic hysterectomies. Limitations of existing manipulators are that they require an additional assistant during surgery, are expensive and may cause tissue trauma to the vaginal or cervical canal. This study introduces the novel concept of a magnetic uterine manipulator, intended to overcome existing devices’ shortcomings and enabling non-invasive uterine manipulation. The first goal of the study was to investigate the strengths and weaknesses of existing mechanical manipulators and compare them to those of a magnetic device. Analysis showed that a magnetic manipulator would not be able to compete in terms of the range of motion of existing devices. A limited anteriorsagittal rotation range of 60 was seen in the magnetic manipulator compared to a range of 140 in mechanical devices. However, the magnetic manipulator could eliminate the need for an extra assistant, is reusable and thus also more economical. The second goal was to investigate which type of setup would be most successful at effective uterine manipulation. Through concept analysis a cart-on-arch system was deemed most effective. To lift an effective load of 1 N over an air-gap of 150 mm rare-earth N38 Neodymium (NdFeBr) magnets showed the most promise as magnetic actuators. FEA (Finite Element Analysis) simulations of the magnetic setup were validated experimentally which produced an acceptable MAE (mean absolute error) of 0.15 N. Furthermore, a comparative simulation study of shielded and unshielded magnets was done which concluded that shielded magnets produce a slightly higher attraction force and would be safer to use due to less magnetic flux fringing. Thirdly and lastly, potential safety hazards and risks of using magnetic actuators in surgical environments were identified. The literature research revealed that connections between magnetic fields and health risks to patients have not been conclusively proven in clinical studies to date, but nonetheless, great care should be taken in situations where the patient has a pace-maker or orthopaedic implants, as these might interact with the magnetic field. Recommendations for future work include further research into the geometry and scaling effects of magnetic shielding as well as electromagnetic actuator design. Electromagnetic actuators could replace rare-earth magnets, if coil and cooling systems are optimized, resulting in magnets that can be reversed or switched off and which are therefore easier to control and safer to handle.
