A traditional idea with respect to the interaction of electromagnetic fields and biologic systems is that specific effects can occur only when the incident energy is greater than the energy associated with a temperature that is characteristic of the biologic system (kT). The functioning of the visual system and the effect of ionizing radiation are examples of these interactions. For energies le...

Background & Aims: In the recent years, increasing rate of using electronic devices which generate electromagnetic fields , has caused researchers, attention to the effects of electromagnetic fields on human health. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of prolonged exposure to extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields(ELF) on the Cholinergic system in the small intestine of r...

Wireless interconnects are built with two or more antennas on a semiconductor integrated circuit (IC) communicating with each other to form an intra-chip communication network. The wireless interconnects are considered a viable solution to the global communications problems faced by ICs. In this work, the effects of the electromagnetic coupling between the on-chip antennas for wireless intercon...

Background: The increasing use of telecommunication devices such as Wi-Fi modems and mobile phones in the recent years can change the cellular structure of microorganisms so the generation of electromagnetic waves has led to concern in the community whenever be exposed to these fields and may have harmful effects on human health.Material and Methods: Standard strains of bacteria were prepared o...

We discuss the key important regimes of electromagnetic field interaction with charged particles. Main attention is paid to the nonlinear Thomson/Compton scattering regime with the radiation friction and quantum electrodynamics effects taken into account. This process opens a channel of high efficiency electromagnetic energy conversion into hard electromagnetic radiation in the form of ultra sh...

Mobile phone use and wireless communication technology have grown explosively over the past decades. This rapid growth has caused widespread global concern about the potential detrimental effects of this technology on human health. Stem cells generate specialized cell types of the tissue in which they reside through normal differentiation pathways. Considering the undeniable importance of stem ...

Birds are powerful indicator of an ecosystem because of their thin skull, feathers as dielectric receptor, high mobility and use of areas having high electromagnetic field. Among the total publications on the impact of electromagnetic radiation on living beings, only 3% are on birds. Both positive and negative results are reported regarding the biological responses of birds exposed to electroma...

Radio Frequency (RF) engineers are faced many times with the following two questions: “What are the effects of radio waves on human health?” and, more specifically, “What health risks are associated with the use of cell phones, mobile radios, microwave radios, microwave ovens, broadcast radio and television transmitters, power lines and X-rays?” In recent times, many people have expressed an in...
