Abstract. A straightforward approach to achieve the prescribed shape of far-field electromagnetic (EM) pulse radiated from a narrow slot antenna is introduced. It demonstrated that specified in given direction can be approximately attained via simple signal-processing technique yields pertaining excitation pulse. Illustrative numerical examples demonstrating good accuracy early-time part pulsed...

Well-characterized purified water was exposed for 6 h to pulsed low-frequency weak electromagnetic fields. After various time periods, nondegassed and degassed water samples were analyzed by static light scattering. Just after electromagnetic exposure (day 0), a reduction of over 20% in the maximum light scattering intensity at 488 nm wavelength in both nondegassed and degassed samples was obse...

Introduction: Electrochemotherapy (ECT) is a cancer treatment modality to permeabilize cell membrane facilitating the non-permeant molecules to gain access to the cytosol of cells. Nevertheless, environmental electromagnetic fields (EMFs) may disturb the efficiency of ECT. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of EMFs 900 MHz pulse-modulated by 217 Hz extremely low-frequency fields ...

mri workers are occupationally exposed to static and time-varying gradient magnetic fields.  while the 24-hour time-averaged exposure to static magnetic fields is about a few mt, the maximum static field strength can be as high as 500 mt during patient set up. over the past several years, our lab has performed extensive experiments on the health effects of exposure of animal models and humans t...

800x600 as a tendency to use new technologies, gadgets such as laptop computers are becoming more popular among students, teachers, businessmen and office workers. today laptops are a great tool for education and learning, work and personal multimedia. millions of men, especially those in the reproductive age, are frequently using their laptop computers on the lap (thigh). over the past several...

background : substantial evidence indicates that exposure to electromagnetic fields (emf) above certain levels can affect human health through triggering some biological responses. according to who, short-term exposure to emf at the levels present in the home/environment do not cause any apparent detrimental effects in healthy individuals. however, now, there is a debate on whether long-term ex...

800x600 background: nowadays, mothers are continuously exposed to different sources of electromagnetic fields before and even during pregnancy.   it has recently been shown that exposure to mobile phone radiation during pregnancy may lead to adverse effects on the brain development in offspring and cause hyperactivity. researchers have shown that behavioral problems in laboratory animals which ...

background and objectives: electric, magnetic and electromagnetic fields can act as stress factors with different effects on biological systems. due to the nutritional and medicinal values, and the increasing electromagnetic radiations, the present study was performed to investigate the effects of the electromagnetic field on the developmental stages and cytotoxic properties of okra. methods: b...
