Possible heliogeophysical effects on human physiological state

Heliogeophysical factors as possible triggers of suicide terroristic acts

Using data on suicide terroristic attacks in Israel, Iraq and Afghanistan (1062 cases 1994-2008) it was found that certain patterns of heliogeophysical factors were similar in all countries studied, and typically accompanied such acts. Geomagnetic activity significantly increased (p<0.0001) at the day of attack and at the next day following attack. Interplanetary magnetic field polarity tends t...

Physiological state model for human ergonomic workload

Twenty ergonomic tasks were evaluated in which human operators performed mixed static work and dynamic work. Steady-state physiological data are the input into a model as regressor variables, which are then multiplied by the respective regressor coefficients. The resultant physiological state model output is a single response variable that represents the workload. Mixed stepping regression tech...

Physiological effects of a conducted electrical weapon on human subjects.

STUDY OBJECTIVE Sudden death after a conducted electrical weapon exposure has not been well studied. We examine the effects of a single Taser exposure on markers of physiologic stress in healthy humans. METHODS This is a prospective trial investigating the effects of a single Taser exposure. As part of their police training, 32 healthy law enforcement officers received a 5-second Taser electr...

Possible effects of Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) on Human Health

2 About the Scientific Committees Three independent non-food Scientific Committees provide the Commission with the scientific advice it needs when preparing policy and proposals relating to consumer safety, public health and the environment. The Committees also draw the Commission's attention to the new or emerging problems which may pose an actual or potential threat. SCENIHR Questions concern...
