Background: A lot of investigations exist on the biological effects of radiofrequency and microwave radiation however only a few studies have considered non-carcinogenic exposure to radiations specifically from mobile phones. Objectives: To introduce some subjective neurological symptoms in mobile phone users. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional descriptive study conducted from March...

background: the use of mobile phone by children is increasing drastically. children are likely to accumulate many years of exposure during their lives. furthermore, as nervous systems in children are developing, children may be at a greater risk compared to adults. in this light, some scientists have suggested that the use of mobile phones should be restricted in high-risk groups such as childr...

Background: Distracted walking is a major cause of pedestrian fatalities. Along with the expansion and popularity of mobile phones, their impacts on pedestrian safety, especially when crossing urban intersections have attracted a lot of attention. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of mobile-phone use on pedestrians’ crossing behavior when passing signalized intersections. Ma...

This paper presents the TOTEM framework for supporting the content creation and structuring for location-based games. Shapes (templates), Marbles (instances) and Pebbles (raw data) build the conceptual background while two integrated tools support the overall workflow: TOTEM.Designer, a web-application that allows for desktop-based authoring and TOTEM.Scout, a mobile app that allows for in-situ...

The teledensity in India is estimated at 74.50 per cent (January, 2014) with an increase in subscriber base each day. No other revolution in the mankind has transformed the communication scenario to the extent as done by the mobile technologies. India has the fastest growing telecom network in the world with its high population and development potential base. Education is at a critical juncture...

Background: Infertility is defined as inability to conceive after a year of sexual intercourses without the use of contraceptives. In half of the cases the causative factor is the male. Males are exposed to the effect of various environmental factors, which may decrease their reproductive capabilities. Phone electromagnetic power is very small, only a few hundredths of a microwave oven, but bec...

Mobile phones and stethoscopes used in neonatology units could be colonized by potentiel bacteria pathogens. It can be a vector of severe nosocomial infections and multi-drug-resistant pathogens. The aim of this study is to evaluate the microbial contamination of mobile phones and stethoscopes, used by medical and paramedical staff. The study was conducted in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU)...

Dear Editor,Lack of ionizing radiation and the low level energy emission from cell phones initially led to a public perception that use of mobile phones is safe. However, the dramatic increase in the use of cell phones has generated great concerns about their potential adverse effects. We have previously found no association between self-reported illness symptoms and the exposures to microwave ...

the use of aqueous mixed micellar system consisting of sodium dodecyl sulfate (sds) and polyoxyethylene (23) dodecanol (brij-35) as the mobile phase in reversed-phase liquid chromatography was studied. a group of chlorophenols was used as the test mixture. adding organic modifier to the system showed that the use of low concentrations of organic additives improves efficiency in sds/brij-35 mixe...
