In this review paper, an overview is given of two emerging research topics that address the importance of long-range physical signaling in living biosystems. The first topic concerns the biophysical principles and the physiological significance of long-range cell-to-cell signaling through electrical signals facilitated by membrane nanotubes (MNTs) (also called "tunneling nanotubes"), namely lon...

The electricity transmission, gas transmission, and railway industries have developed various methods for the calculation of voltages induced in infrastructure following power line corridors. These tools are typically based on simplified topologies and assumptions that make the implementation of the required algorithms more tractable and data entry screens more alluring. On the other hand, such...

In this paper we explore the potential of one-dimensional and two-dimensional deterministic aperiodic plasmonic arrays for the design of electromagnetic coupling and plasmon-enhanced, sub-wavelength optical fields on chip-scale devices. In particular, we investigate the spectral, far-field and near-field optical properties of metal nanoparticle arrays generated according to simple deterministic...

This thesis presents research on methods for calculating the mutual coupling between antennas. The mutual coupling between antennas is a measure of the amount of energy transmitted from one antenna that is received by another, and is a key parameter when installing antennas on platforms, such as aircraft. To avoid interference between systems connected to the antennas, the mutual coupling shoul...

We calculate the probability of the decay of external inhomogeneous electromagnetic fields to neutral pseudoscalar particles that have a coupling to two photons. We also point out that our estimate for axion emission in a previous paper was incorrect.

The problem of a harmonic oscillator coupling to an electromagnetic potential plus a topological-like (Chern-Simons) massive term, in two-dimensional space, is studied in the light of the symplectic formalism proposed by Faddeev and Jackiw for constrained systems.

The idea that the seed primordial magnetic fields can be explained by the nonminimal coupling between gravitational and electromagnetic fields is discussed. The predicted values of the magnetic field of the spiral galaxies are in agreement with the observations.

The paper presents a computer analysis of inductive coupling of the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) problem. Its focus is on power electronics and electrical drives and tests performed by a numerical computer simulation that can disclose suite surprising findings about EMC.

The analysis of the newest data on the leptonic Z-decays and m W appears to reveal the first manifestations of electroweak radiative corrections. In fact, these data differ, at the level of 2σ, from their electroweak Born values, while they agree, to within 1σ, with the theoretical values which take the electroweak radiative corrections into account. Previous data were within 1σ in agreement wi...
