Critically, this magnetoresistive scenario depends sensitively on the device geometry and current lines and it does not rely on magnetic materials. In a semiconductor with a single carrier type, the magnetoresistance is proportional to (1 + (μB)2), where μ is the semiconductor mobility (units m2·V−1·s−1 or T −1) and B ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetoresistance |
Higher tumour grades may benefit from adjuvant treatment such as platinum-based chemotherapy.Optimal debulking is used to treat cases where cancer has spread to become macroscopically advanced.

Mountain ranges are known to take many millions of years to erode to the degree they effectively cease to exist. Scholars Pitman and Golovchenko estimate that it takes probably more than 450 million years to erode a mountain mass similar to the Himalaya into an almost-flat peneplain if there are no major sea-level chan... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_erosion |
