Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) originating both from both natural and manmade sources permeate our environment. As people are continuously exposed to EMFs in everyday life, it is a matter of great debate whether they can be harmful to human health. On the basis of two decades of epidemiological studies, an increased risk for childhood leukemia associated with Extremely Low Frequency fields has b...

Materials and methods 30 male rats were completely divided into 3 groups (2 experimental and control). Exp1, group that were exposed EMFs (50 Hz ferqency, 2 mT intensity) for 20 minutes. Exp2, group that were exposed EMFs (60 Hz frequency, 2 mT intensity) for 20 minutes. For similar conditions control group were situated into set of EMFs for 20 minutes. Sapatial memory was done with Morris wate...

The synthesis of endohedral metallofullerenes (EMFs) from a carbon soot sample of an arc discharge leads to a variety of EMFs that are obtained in different relative abundances. In the present work, we show that these abundances can be predicted from aromaticity calculations. In particular, we use the normalized Additive Local Aromaticity (ALAN) index. Our results show that the most abundant Sc...

Exohedral derivatization of endohedral metallofullerenes (EMFs) has been exploited as a useful method for characterizing the structural and chemical properties of EMFs, and for functionalizing them for potential applications. The introduction of heteroatoms, such as electropositive silicon atoms, to fullerene cages is a novel functionalization method that remarkably affects the electronic chara...

This study investigates the effects of crude oil implied volatility index (OVX) upon emerging market financial stress (EMFS). We resort to a quantile regression framework as this approach is better alternative disentangle relationship under different conditions. Besides, we also examine how EMFS responds lags and asymmetries in OVX. The empirical results show significantly positive impacts OVX ...

Comprehensive Summary Endohedral metallofullerenes (EMFs) are a family of molecules with metal clusters or ions encapsulated inside fullerene cage. Their unique structures provide powerful interface for organic chemists to manipulate elements. Over decade ago, many reactions on empty fullerenes were adopted EMFs, resulting in series that well‐established and reviewed the literature. In recent y...

Human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBM-MSCs) are widely used in a number of cell therapies and have osteogenic differentiation capacity. Exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs) increases the osteogenic differentiation of hBM-MSCs. Nanomagnetic particles (MPs) also promote the differentiation potential of stem cells. In the present study, we investigated the effects of EMFs and ...

Extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMFs) can interact with biological systems. Although they are successfully used as therapeutic agents in physiatrics and rehabilitative practice, they might represent environmental pollutants and pose a risk to human health. Due to the lack of evidence of their mechanism of action, the effects of ELF-EMFs on differentiation processes in skelet...

This research explores the enablers of emerging-market firms (EMFs) leapfrogging in internationalization process. Although many studies on rapid focus exporting activities, we expand concept to a higher-commitment entry mode: foreign direct investment (FDI). In addition, investigate role an understudied force, multinational enterprises (MNEs) emerging markets, enabling EMFs. Our hypotheses are ...

PURPOSE To investigate the expression differences of type I collagen (COL1A1) and its underlying mechanisms in human fetal scleral fibroblasts (HFSFs) that were treated with conditioned medium from retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells under extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMFs). METHODS The ELF-EMFs used in this study were established by slidac and artificial coils. Grow...
