The Effect of High-Voltage Power Lines on Magnetic Orientation of Domestic Dogs

This animal behavioral study observed 36 domestic dogs to assess whether magnetic fields from high-voltage power lines influence dogs' geomagnetic alignment behavior. Dogs showed bimodal alignment under control conditions and under north-south oriented power lines, but alignment became trimodal under east-west…

The Impact of Using Cell Phones After Light-Out on Sleep Quality, Headache, Tiredness, and Distractibility Among Students of a University in North of Iran.

This cross-sectional study surveyed 358 university students about cell phone use after lights-out and related symptoms. Sixty percent reported late-night phone use, which was associated with insomnia, and initially with low energy, tiredness, and headache. After controlling for stressful events, only the association…

[Effect of Earth magnetic field on circadian rhythm of total antioxidant capacity of human saliva in the North].

This paper reports observations in northern inhabitants relating geomagnetic conditions to circadian rhythm patterns in saliva total antioxidant capacity. It states that the amplitude of the circadian rhythm decreases during both increased geomagnetic activity and magnetic calm, with the most favorable rhythm display…
