Large numbers of bats are killed by collisions with wind turbines, and there is at present no direct method of reducing or preventing this mortality. We therefore determine whether the electromagnetic radiation associated with radar installations can elicit an aversive behavioural response in foraging bats. Four civil air traffic control (ATC) radar stations, three military ATC radars and three...

The countless increase in towers and mobile phones has increased the amount of non-ionizing radio waves in surroundings during last two decades. Several reports have revealed non-desirable after effects of mobile phone frequency electromagnetic field radiations at cellular level. Thus, the present study was designed to evaluate the effect of cellphone frequency electromagnetic field (EMF) radia...

We point out that the central theme in the paper by Wang, Xiong, and Wang @Phys. Rev. B 61, R5090 ~2000!# is the inseparability of electron degrees of freedom and those of electromagnetic field ~EMF!. The dephasing of conduction electrons due to zero-point fluctuation ~ZPF! of EMF is because experiments probe electron degrees of freedom only. The treatment of ZPF of EMF in the above paper is ov...

INTRODUCTION This study attempted to determine the effect of a 1800 MHz electromagnetic field (EMF) (only carrier frequency) on thyroxine (T4), triiodothyronine (T3) and corticosterone (CORT) concentrations in the blood plasma of chick embryos, and to investigate the effect of electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure during embryogenesis on the level of these hormones in birds that are ready for sl...

objective(s): the main characteristic of mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) is their ability to produce other cell types. electromagnetic field (emf) stimulates differentiation of mscs into other cells. in this study, we investigated whether emf can effect on the differentiation of mscs into dopaminergic (da) neurons. materials and methods: an emf with a frequency of 50 hz and two intensities of 40 ...

Interest in electromagnetic field (EMF) treatments has increased rapidly in recent years due to its advantages over other treatments for tissue healing and infection. Benefits include low-cost, ready availability, ease of localized application, few if any sideeffects, and indefinite shelf life. Immunological studies show that low-intensity EMF can interact with cells and tissues, providing a la...

In this study, we investigated the transcriptional response to 50 Hz extremely low frequency electromagnetic field (ELF-EMF) and 2.0 GHz radio frequency electromagnetic field (RF-EMF) exposure by Illumina sequencing technology using budding yeast as the model organism. The transcription levels of 28 genes were upregulated and those of four genes were downregulated under ELF-EMF exposure, while ...

The application of electromagnetic fields to support the bone-healing processes is a therapeutic approach for patients with musculoskeletal disorders. The ASNIS-III s-series screw is a bone stimulation system providing electromagnetic stimulation; however, its influence on human osteoblasts (hOBs) has not been extensively investigated. Therefore, in the present study, the impact of this system ...
