This engineering study modeled and tested a distributed wearable RF EMF measurement approach intended to reduce body-proximity effects on personal exposure meter readings. Numerical simulations covered 24 far-field wireless exposure scenarios (100–3600 MHz), and physical tests with three probes were also performed.…

This engineering/simulation study proposes a bone-inclusive ASTM phantom to improve assessment of RF power deposition near orthopaedic implants during 1.5 T and 3 T MRI. Using numerical simulations across multiple implant families, the authors report better correlation of peak 1 g SAR near implants with anatomically…

This engineering study evaluates how anatomical/geometric differences affect MRI RF safety metrics. Simulations and a bovine-phantom experiment found that similar transmit B-field patterns can coincide with notably different peak SAR and temperature rise. The authors highlight challenges in using…

This study develops and tests a theoretical model of how HeLa cells aggregate when exposed to a uniform AC electric field. Model-derived aggregation times and predicted string-length growth rates matched numerical simulation, and experiments observed substantial clustering in the chamber. The work is framed as…

This paper analyzes compressible Hall magnetohydrodynamic turbulence with an external strong guide magnetic field using signed measure analysis. In simulations varying ion skin depth to modulate the Hall term, increasing the Hall term is reported to reduce the fractal dimension of current and vorticity sheets. The…

This engineering study describes a handheld microfluidic preconcentrator that uses dielectrophoresis generated by circular microelectrodes with a stepping electric field. Numerical simulations were used to illustrate the electric-field concept. In experiments, HeLa cells were reportedly preconcentrated within 160…
