This engineering study reports spectroscopic determination of net electric field distribution in a dielectric barrier surface glow discharge in low-pressure air. Optical emission spectroscopy was used to infer electric field distribution from the intensity ratio of nitrogen spectral lines at 391.4 nm and 337.1 nm.…

Jan 1, 2007
This paper describes a system intended to encourage daily walking exercise in people with COPD. During home exercise, the platform sends SMS messages to the patient's mobile phone indicating the target exercise intensity (linked to music tempo). The abstract does not report any findings about health outcomes or…

This in vitro study measured biophoton/chemiluminescence emission from MDCK cells after inducing reactive oxygen species with hydrogen peroxide. The authors report that photon emission increased with hydrogen peroxide dose and that photomultiplier tube measurements agreed with fluorescence microscopy observations.…

This in vitro study used fluorescence excitation, emission, and polarization spectra to assess structural changes in papain after pulsed electric field (PEF) treatment. Under the reported PEF conditions (50 kV/cm, 1500 Hz, 40 µs pulses, 19,800 pulses), papain activity decreased by 56.5%. Spectral changes (increased…
Ultranarrow optical absorption and two-phonon excitation spectroscopy of Cu2O paraexcitons in a high magnetic field.

Jan 1, 2007
This physics study reports ultranarrow optical absorption and two-phonon excitation spectroscopy of Cu2O paraexcitons in a high magnetic field at 1.2 K. A magnetic field enabled observation of an otherwise forbidden paraexciton absorption line and allowed measurement of field-dependent oscillator strength and energy…
Physics and biology of mobile telephony

Jan 1, 2000
This review argues that current mobile-telephony safety guidelines address excessive microwave heating but may not account for potential non-thermal influences of low-intensity, pulsed radiation. It highlights an asserted oscillatory similarity between pulsed microwave signals and certain electrochemical activities…
Headaches from cellular telephones: are they real and what are the implications?
Research
RF Safe Research Library
Mar 1, 1998
This review discusses reports of headaches occurring with hand-held cellular telephone use and argues they are likely real and attributable to telephone emissions. It points to earlier reports of headaches from low-intensity microwave exposure and proposes biological plausibility via effects on the blood-brain…
