Electrocardiographic (ECG) artifacts may arise due to interference, faulty earthing, and current leakages in biomedical equipment which might create clinical dilemmas in the perioperative settings. Piezoelectric signals generated by ultrasonography probe are another uncommon source which might be sensed by the ECG electrodes and produce tracings similar to pathological arrhythmias triggering fa...

OBJECTIVES This article describes interaction of the Earth's mass-electrolytic conductor on the electrical environment of human organism-aqueous environment and skeleton. In this environment, bioelectrical and bioenergetical processes take place. METHODS AND SUBJECTS Measurements of electric potential on tongue, teeth, nails, and in venous blood in subjects earthed and unearthed were conducte...

Tomato is a popular and extensively cultivated vegetable among the economically promising commodities in horticulture sector Kenya. It provides wide variety of nutrients with many health-related benefits. This study investigated effect integration pruning earthing up on postharvest. The experiments were carried out split-plot arranged randomized complete block design (RCBD) CRD for both field l...

Chronic disease is the no. 1 cause of death and disability in the United States. Treating patients with chronic diseases accounts for 75% of the nation’s health care spending, which surpassed $2.3 trillion in 2008. The most common and costly chronic diseases are heart disease, cancer, stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, osteoporosis, and diabetes. Other significant conditions include...

Much research has been published in the literature on the mathematical approaches to obtain the most accurate earth resistance and resistivity values. However, the published research only conducted the comparisons among the mathematical/computational techniques and so far none has conducted validation tests of these mathematical/computational methods against the real earth resistance measuremen...

Lightning strikes on high-voltage transmission lines may create hazardous touch potentials on adjacent substation equipment and damage control equipment. When designing suitable substation earthing electrodes to overcome this problem and safely dissipate the transient fault currents to ground, it is essential to consider the behaviour of the current flow. The steadystate frequency equivalent to...
