This laboratory study examined pulsed magnetic field (PMF) pretreatment of soybean seeds (1500 nT) at 0.1–100 Hz for 5 hours/day over 20 days. The abstract reports increased germination rates for all PMF treatments, with 10 and 100 Hz showing the strongest responses, and improvements in several seedling growth and…

This engineering study describes using antenna-coupled microwave radiation to enhance laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) emission from a Gd2O3 sample at reduced pressure. The authors report substantially increased plasma emission intensity, higher-temperature plasma, and longer emission lifetime when…

This engineering study examines how the spectral mismatch between mobile phone flash LEDs and modern display gamuts influences smartphone camera color reproduction. Using a CIECAM02-based metric and an evaluation method grounded in raw camera data and a Digital ColorChecker SG, the authors propose optimized flash LED…

This animal study tested whether pre-exposure to microwave radiation from a GSM mobile phone simulator could induce a radioadaptive response to a subsequent lethal whole-body gamma dose. In mice, pre-exposure to microwave radiation, low dose rate gamma radiation, or both was associated with significantly different…

This paper reports three cases of upper limb critical ischemia with chronic hand/finger defects treated using radiofrequency upper thoracic sympathectomy (thermolysis). The authors state that standard conservative treatments had failed and surgery was initially not indicated. They report the intervention was…

This animal and in vitro study evaluated nanosecond pulsed electric fields (nsPEF) as a nonchemical method to activate platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for cardioprotection. In rabbits undergoing brief coronary occlusion followed by reperfusion, PRP injection into ischemic myocardium was associated with reduced infarct…

This theoretical/physics study analyzes the spectrum of electron-phonon complexes in monolayer graphene in a perpendicular quantizing magnetic field. It reports that near the threshold of optical phonon emission, standard perturbation theory fails for calculating the scattering amplitude. The authors describe new…

This study evaluated pulsed electric fields (PEF) as a pasteurization method for raw skim and whole milk across multiple treatment intensities and storage conditions. The abstract reports only minor changes in physicochemical properties and small decreases in some composition measures under stronger treatments.…

This paper describes an engineering method for nucleating nanocrystalline carbon films on monocrystalline silicon using a combination of microwave and radio frequency plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition. The approach is demonstrated via deposition of nanocrystalline diamond after a seeding step and growth of…

This study investigated how exposure to a static magnetic field affects electricity production in Shewanella-inoculated microbial fuel cells across different reactor configurations. A 100 mT field was reported to increase maximum voltage and the effect was described as immediate and reversible, with possible adverse…

This in vitro study tested electromagnetic compatibility between passive RFID readers and 15 pacemakers plus 15 ICDs across 134 kHz, 13.56 MHz, and 915 MHz bands. EMI reactions were common with low-frequency RFID and rare with high-frequency RFID, while no reactions were observed with ultra-high-frequency or…

This study reports solid-state NMR (13C and 15N MAS) measurements on CuCN·N2H4 to extract copper quadrupole coupling constants and characterize cyanide ordering. Ab initio calculations were used to determine electric field gradient and chemical shielding tensor orientations needed for spectral analysis. The authors…

This theoretical paper analyzes consequences of nonuniqueness of the external magnetic field B(r) in spin-polarized density functional theory. It reports that for ground states the energy functional is not differentiable with respect to spin density, but one-sided derivatives can exist. The work links these one-sided…

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.…
