6.3.4.1 SPATIAL SUPERPOSITION

The investigation of using multiple independent field sources has led to studies where the treatment area exhibits spatial topology from super­position. A magnetic therapeutic device that uses four nonuniform static magnets in four-pole symmetry demonstrates an increased rate of Myosin phosphorylation over control. The notion that the magnetic field ampli­tude is the only parameter involved to determine the outcome with mag­netobiology experiments has been shown to be false and it is suggested the topological parameters in a spatial domain, such as field gradient and symmetry might also be of relevance [57].

Mazur investigated the use of multiple magnetic fields in superposition on biological samples. He exposed S. cerevisiae to a six-pole electromag­net with coils of alternating polarity at a magnetic field of 0.39-0.52 T, while saturating it with pure molecular oxygen. The magnetic field has an influence on the biosynthesis of yeast and changes their enzymatic ac­tivity when grown under aerobic conditions as opposed to anaerobically cultivated yeast. He found that in the presence of a magnetic field, the oxygen saturation increased from 5.37 to 39.9 mg L-1 and simultaneously stabilized the pH. The initiation of fermentation occurred immediately af­ter mixing of the dough. It was found that there was an improvement in the physical qualitative property of rising strength, which was decreased from 76 minutes to 53 minutes in the presence of oxygen saturation and a magnetic field. It was also found that the increase in CO2 production was

3.7 times greater in the magnetic treated culture than the control, which in­dicates a significant increase in maltase activity. The amount of dissolved oxygen in water increased and was sharply activated in the presence of a magnetic field [58].
