A high resolution imaging of the temperature and microwave near field can be a powerful tool for the non-destructive testing of materials and devices. However, it is presently a very challenging issue due to the lack of a practical measurement pathway. In this work, we propose and demonstrate experimentally a practical method resolving the issue by using a conventional CCD-based optical indicat...

The objective of this paper is threefold: 1) To present a working methodology for the combined use of modeling technology and microwave remote sensing measurements in the assessment of attenuation of electromagnetic waves by the vegetation cover; 2) To illustrate this methodology with computer calculations of the attenuation for various soil-plant formations; 3) To give a perspective of the dev...

The effect of rotational disorder on the microwave transmission through thin metallic checkerboard arrays has been experimentally studied. Broad resonant features below the onset of diffraction, attributed to electromagnetic radiation coupling through the structure via the evanescent fields of bound surface waves, are found to be strongly dependent on the electrical connectivity of the surface....

If a quantum mechanical particle is scattered by a potential well, the wave function of the particle can propagate with negative phase time. Because of the analogy of the Schrödinger and Helmholtz equations this phenomenon is expected to be observable for electromagnetic wave propagation. Experimental data for electromagnetic wells realized by waveguides filled with different dielectrics now co...

The higher frequency transient signals generated as a result of a power system fault or disturbance provide the basis for an alternative approach to power system containing connectors and cables result in unsuitable operation of the system. However one major challenge is the need to ensure that the transients to be neutralized by electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) issues and cabling routes. T...

a large body of evidence now indicates that the amount of mercury released from dental amalgam fillings can be significantly accelerated by exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (rf-emfs) such as common mobile phones and magnetic resonance imaging (mri). studies performed on the increased microleakage of dental amalgam restorations after exposure to rf-emfs have further supported th...

OBJECTIVES Nonionizing radiation is emitted from electronic devices, such as smartphones. In this study, we intended to elucidate the effect of electromagnetic radiation from smartphones on spatial working memory and progenitor cell proliferation in the hippocampus. METHODS Both male and female mice were randomly separated into two groups (radiated and control) and the radiated group was expo...
