[1] Extremely low frequency/very low frequency (ELF/VLF) radio waves are difficult to generate with conventional antennas. Ionospheric high frequency (HF) heating facilities generate ELF/VLF waves via modulated heating of the lower ionosphere. HF heating of the ionosphere changes the lower ionospheric conductivity, which in the presence of natural currents such as the auroral electrojet creates...

We have studied the properties of impulsive geomagnetic disturbances, which are observed synchronously at network induction magnetometers Institute Solar-Terrestrial Physics (ISTP SB RAS) and Canadian stations CARISMA project [Mann, et al., 2008]. A feature pulses we detected is that their frequency range (f~5–30 Hz) lies junction ranges two known classes electromagnetic oscillations: ultra-low...

We have previously proposed that further improved functionals for density functional theory can be constructed based on the Armiento-Mattsson subsystem functional scheme if, in addition to the uniform electron gas and surface models used in the Armiento-Mattsson 2005 functional, a model for the strongly confined electron gas is also added. However, of central importance for this scheme is an in...

Introduction: This study investigated the effects of extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMF) (50 Hz, 3 mT) on biochemical parameters of rats’ ovarian tissues and the impact of Allium cepa on the reduction of potential adverse influences of electromagnetic exposure. Material and Methods: In this study 40 female Wistar rats were divided into four groups, including (1) control gr...

Extremely low frequency (ELF) pulsed-gradient magnetic field (with the maximum intensity of 0.6-2.0 T, gradient of 10-100 T.M(-1), pulse width of 20-200 ms and frequency of 0.16-1.34 Hz treatment of mice can inhibit murine malignant tumour growth, as seen from analyses at different hierarchical levels, from organism, organ, to tissue, and down to cell and macromolecules. Such magnetic fields in...

Accumulating evidence suggests that patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) have an alveolar inflammation resulting in the release of tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and interleukin (IL)-1beta in bronchoalveolar epithelial fluid. It was proposed that the levels of these cytokines would correlate with clinical status parameters (extent of pulmonary involvement, fever, and body weight...

Zinc as an essential trace element was reported to be involved in regulation of the growth and aging of cells. In this study, rat adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells were exposed to extremely low frequency electromagnetic field (ELF-EMF) of 50 Hz and 20 mT to evaluate whether exposure to ELF-EMF in the presence of zinc sulfate (ZnSO4) affects the telomerase reverse transcriptase (...

Background: In previous investigations, it has been clarified that electromagnetic fields (ELF) can cause some changes in cellular behavior. The aim of this prospective study was to investigate the effect of magnetic field (MF) on human sperm parameters of motility, morphology, and viability. Materials and Methods: Semen samples were collected from 12 fertile men, and were allowed to l...
