    The objective of this paper is to provide suitable approximations of effective permeability for magnetic concentration cores. This core has a dumbbell shape so that the magnetic flux is concentrated to the coil winding part of the core. It is well known that the demagnetizing factor strongly depends on the core shape, which defines the effective permeability. Although several researchers have already proposed an approximation for a dumbbell-shaped core, they did not take into account the flange part length. In this paper, a novel approximation for a dumbbell-shaped core is proposed. It is based on the demagnetizing factor and correction terms related to the aspect ratio of both the flange and coil winding part. From experimental results, the validity of the approximation is confirmed.ArticleIEEE TRANSACTIONS ON MAGNETICS. 51(1):4000304 (2015)journal articl

    Introduction: This study investigated the relationship between sensory processing, respiratory sinus arrhythmia, and social participation in people with psychiatric disorders. Method: This study recruited 30 participants, primarily women, from a psychiatric university hospital with a mental health diagnosis listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders Fifth Edition (mean age: 37.7 ± 16.0 years). Sensory processing, autonomic nervous function, and social participation were measured using the Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile®, respiratory sinus arrhythmia, and World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule, respectively. Through mediation analysis, a model wherein sensory processing mediated the relationship between respiratory sinus arrhythmia and social participation was developed. Results: Social participation was moderately to highly correlated with Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile® quadrants (excluding sensory seeking) and respiratory sinus arrhythmia. Furthermore, the mediation analysis revealed that sensory avoiding mediated the relationship between respiratory sinus arrhythmia and social participation, consequently counteracting the direct relationship. Conclusion: A mediation model was constructed, which indicated that individuals with psychiatric disorders and low parasympathetic nervous system activity expressed higher sensory processing quadrant of sensory avoiding. Ultimately, this was associated with reduced social participation
