This study used real-time measurements on a university campus to examine how the number of users relates to RF electric field strength from cellular systems and a Wi-Fi access point. The authors report empirical models that estimate E from user counts, with stated accuracies of 86% for cellular-related measurements…

This exposure assessment study reports extensive EMF measurements and exposure mapping across multiple workplace settings in Greece in the context of implementing EU Directive 2013/35/EU. The authors report that most assessed workplaces did not exceed occupational limits, and often did not exceed general public…

This double-blind, randomized, counterbalanced study tested whether acute GSM-like 920 MHz RF-EMF exposure affects visual event-related potentials in 36 healthy adults. Compared with sham, exposure was associated with reduced P1 amplitude and increased anterior N1 latency, with no effects on other ERP measures. The…

This in vitro study exposed cancer (U87-MG; 143B) and noncancerous (BJ; HEK) cells to extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields under varying frequencies (2–60 Hz), waveforms, and exposure durations, with sham controls. Cell viability was assessed using an MTT assay. The authors report that cancer and…

This modeling study examines how a noisy spiking neural network detects a weak applied electric field using an Izhikevich neuron framework with excitatory/inhibitory neurons and conduction delays. The authors report stochastic resonance driven by white noise that enhances detectability, and that this effect largely…

This paper describes an on-line ELF magnetic stimulation setup and evaluates coil field distribution using COMSOL simulations alongside physical measurements. The authors report that modeled and measured magnetic flux densities were similar, and that stimulation induced sodium channel currents and fEPSPs in rat…

The study presents a smart city service for electromagnetic field assessment using deployed measuring probes integrated into a city platform. Data collected for more than one year are processed to characterize E-field levels across large areas and over time. The authors report that the results validate the…

This study develops a quantum-mechanical radical pair mechanism model to examine how an extremely-low-frequency electromagnetic field (ELF-EMF) might influence early chemical hepatocarcinogenesis in rats. The model evaluates singlet-state recombination and quantum yield under a low magnetic field effect, proposing…

This in vitro materials study compares microwave irradiation versus conventional water-bath heating for synthesizing HPMC-graft-(PVA-co-acrylic acid) hydrogels loaded with captopril. The authors report that microwave-synthesized hydrogels had more uniformly porous structures and higher swelling ratios, with…

This conference paper describes an automated method for ABO and Rh-D blood typing using images captured by low-cost mobile phones of a fabric strip rapid diagnostic test. The approach applies morphological image processing steps including noise reduction, range filtering, and empirically derived heuristics to…

This engineering study demonstrates magnetophoretic track designs that transport single magnetized beads and magnetically labeled single cells in a 3D time-varying magnetic field. A vertical field bias is reported to reduce particle clustering but necessitates redesigned track geometries with alternating curvature.…

This mouse study examined chronic smartphone electromagnetic radiation exposure and its effects on spatial working memory and hippocampal progenitor cell proliferation. The authors report no significant differences in Y-maze spontaneous alternation or BrdU-labeled progenitor proliferation after exposure, but…

This engineering paper presents an experimentally validated wearable personal exposimeter system for RF-EMF exposure monitoring, motivated by increasing wireless applications. It uses a distributed measurement approach and integrates inertial sensors to capture activity and posture during measurements. The system is…

This Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) Scientific Council report provides an annual overview of the previous year’s research on electromagnetic fields (EMF) to support the Authority’s risk assessment and policy work. It updates key topics including ELF magnetic fields and childhood leukaemia, mobile phones,…

This cross-sectional survey assessed how rural-based advanced midwives in South Africa perceive and use mobile phones for education and professional activities. Among 56 respondents, most reported frequent use of mobile phone functions to support work and learning despite low self-rated technology competence and…

This engineering study examines composite optical dipole nano-antennas made of alternating silica and gold layers. It reports that a 50% filling factor yields a 2.0× increase in electric-field enhancement compared with a pure-gold antenna. The abstract frames the work in terms of photonics applications rather than…

This engineering study addresses inter-cell interference in LTE networks as a driver of packet loss between base stations and mobile stations. It examines Soft Frequency Reuse (SFR) and implements a new hybrid frequency reuse method with greater total system bandwidth than SFR while keeping per-cell bandwidth the…
