The authors have studied a technique for calibrating an electric-field probe used in the measurement of Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) for the mobile communication device. The probe can convert electric field intensity radiated by a reference antenna into output voltage in the tissue equivalent liquid. The measurement in the far-field region of the reference antenna is more difficult as the fre...

A novel algorithm for the ultrashort laser pulse characterization method of interferometric frequency-resolved optical gating (iFROG) is presented. Based on a genetic method, namely, differential evolution, the algorithm can exploit all available information of an iFROG measurement to retrieve the complex electric field of a pulse. The retrieval is subjected to a series of numerical tests to pr...

PW cell is used to test radiated electromagnetic field immunity for small equipment up to frequency of several GHz. As the carbon absorbers as a microwave absorber are conventionally used for PW cell, the inside measurement space is limited to small sized EUT. For the tests in this report, we tried to use a pyramid ferrite absorber, which has been developed recently, instead of a carbon absorbe...

in this paper, shielding effectiveness (se) of a perforated enclosure with imperfectly conducting walls is evaluated. to this end, first, an accurate numerical technique based on method of moments (mom) ispresented. in this method, lossy metallic walls of the enclosure are replaced by equivalent electric surfacecurrent sources. then, the impedance boundary condition on the imperfectly conductin...

AC electric fields induce redistribution of integral membrane proteins. Cell-surface receptor redistribution does not consistently follow electric field lines and depends critically on the frequency of the applied ac electric fields, suggesting that mechanisms other than electroosmosis are involved. We hypothesized that cytoskeletal reorganization is responsible for electric field-induced cell-...

Electric field induced by charge oscillation has been investigated by simulation of the electric field distribution using the finite-difference frequency-domain method. In addition, the electric field was induced by spatial oscillation of a sample to which a DC voltage was applied. The simulation and evaluation of the electric field verified that the efficiency for inducing the electric field h...

Polar molecules are desirable systems for quantum simulations and cold chemistry. Molecular ions are easily trapped, but a bias electric field applied to polarize them tends to accelerate them out of the trap. We present a general solution to this issue by rotating the bias field slowly enough for the molecular polarization axis to follow but rapidly enough for the ions to stay trapped. We demo...

The majority of protein functions are governed by their internal local electrostatics. Quantitative information about these interactions can shed light on how proteins work and allow for improving/altering their performance. Green fluorescent protein (GFP) and its mutation variants provide unique optical windows for interrogation of internal electric fields, thanks to the intrinsic fluorophore ...
