Chemical and electrical interaction within and between cells is well established. Just the opposite is true about cellular interactions via other physical fields. The most probable candidate for an other form of cellular interaction is the electromagnetic field. We review theories and experiments on how cells can generate and detect electromagnetic fields generally, and if the cell-generated el...

In this paper, the electromagnetic shielding characteristics of an up-to-date typical carbon filler material, carbon fiber used with a metal mesh were investigated. Carbon fiber 12k-prepregs, where carbon fibers were impregnated with epoxy, were laminated with wire meshes, vacuum bag-molded and hardened to manufacture hybrid-type specimens, with which an electromagnetic shield test was performe...

An electromagnetic band gap (EBG) material is a periodic surface specifically designed to have certain electromagnetic properties at specific frequencies. The term “metamaterial” is sometimes used to describe such engineered surfaces. Metamaterials (“meta” means “beyond” in Greek) are man-made materials not found in nature and designed by placing tiny resonant structures at regularly spaced dis...

Electromagnetics is a fundamental part of biomedical engineering and modern healthcare due to the electromagnetic nature of several important processes in the human body and the interactions of electromagnetic fields with the human body. As a consequence, electromagnetics is exploited for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes by a multitude of medical devices. The biomedical engineering society s...

BACKGROUND Chronic wounds, particularly in diabetics, result in significant morbidity and mortality and have a profound economic impact. The authors demonstrate that pulsed electromagnetic fields significantly improve both diabetic and normal wound healing in 66 mice through up-regulation of fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-2 and are able to prevent tissue necrosis in diabetic tissue after an isc...

The electromagnetic band gap structures are widely used to suppress pronounced surface waves in antennas with thicker substrate and higher dielectric constant. This paper reviews various application of Electromagnetic band gap structure in microstrip antenna, a band gap characterization of an electromagnetic bandgap structure along with the explanation of various reported configurations of comp...

The electromagnetic analog of an elastic spring-mass network is constructed. These electromagnetic circuits offer the promise of manipulating electromagnetic fields in new ways, and linear electrical circuits correspond to a subclass of them. They consist of thin triangular magnetic components joined at the edges by cylindrical dielectric components. (There are also dual electromagnetic circuit...

This work addresses the assessment of the electromagnetic disturbance induced by a composite barrier—fencing airport structures—to radio-communication electromagnetic waves. The barrier is composed of glass fiber reinforced polymer GFRP tubular elements installed into a concrete base. Based on the electromagnetic properties of constituent materials, numerical analyses describing the electromagn...

INTRODUCTION It is obviously impossible to give a report on electromagnetic interaction processes at high energies in a period of less than an hour, considering the volume of work during the last few years. An entire conference has been devoted to this subject at Stanford two weeks ago; therefore, I will depart from the usual role of a rapporteur by attempting to sketch the highlights both from...
