The environmental modeling community has historically been concerned with the proliferation of models and the effort associated with collective model development tasks (e.g., code generation, data transformation, etc.). Environmental modeling frameworks (EMFs) have been developed to address this problem, but much work remains before EMFs are adopted as mainstream modeling tools. Environmental m...

F. Liu, S. Crozier, B. Xu, I. Gregg School of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia Synopsis The precise evaluation of RF coil-tissue interactions and the electromagnetic fields (EMFs) inside biological samples is becoming an increasingly critical design requirement for high-field MRI engineering. Suitable phantom-based analysis is essential to coil ...

Civil-used proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) may be the potential candidate for construction of global new energy system including use hydrogen energy. Nevertheless, cathode oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) occurs sluggishly, reining conversion efficiency it, which hinders further commercialization PEMFC. Currently, replacement undesirable Pt catalysts by more stable and economical cata...

Purpose This paper aims to determine whether policy uncertainty caused by institutional decay in countries with populist rulers influences the internationalization decision of emerging market firms (EMFs). Design/methodology/approach The study used binary logit analysis on from Latin American undertaking cross-border greenfield investment projects. Findings results suggest that is demotivated g...

The results are given of approximate calculations the relative permittivity εr conductive unmagnetic materials (metals and alloys) for a special case when conductivity displacement currents equal in homogeneous medium. above mentioned widely used electric power engineering high-voltage pulse conditions alternating (pulse) electromagnetic fields (EMFs) with different peak-temporal parameters act...

OBJECTIVE We sought direct evidence that acute exposure to environmental-strength electromagnetic fields (EMFs) could induce somatic reactions (EMF hypersensitivity). METHODS The subject, a female physician self-diagnosed with EMF hypersensitivity, was exposed to an average (over the head) 60-Hz electric field of 300 V/m (comparable with typical environmental-strength EMFs) during controlled ...

Transplantation of a tissue-engineered heart muscle represents a novel experimental therapeutic paradigm for myocardial diseases. However, this strategy has been hampered by the lack of sources for human cardiomyocytes and by the scarce vasculature in the ischemic area limiting the engraftment and survival of the transplanted muscle. Beyond the necessity of endothelial capillaries for the deliv...

OBJECTIVES Electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) is a condition characterized by experiencing symptoms after perceived exposure to weak electromagnetic fields (EMFs). There is substantial debate concerning the aetiology of EHS, but experimental data indicate no association between EHS and actual presence of EMFs. Newspapers play a key role in shaping peoples' understanding of health-related is...

Radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMFs) have been classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer as possible carcinogens to humans; however, this conclusion is based on limited epidemiological findings and lacks solid support from experimental studies. In particular, there are no consistent data regarding the genotoxicity of RF-EMFs. Ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) is...
