Recent studies have indicated that acute exposure to low level radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic fields generated by mobile phones affects human cognition. However, the relatively small samples used, in addition to methodological problems, make the outcomes of these studies difficult to interpret. In our study we tested a large sample of volunteers (168) using a series of cognitive tasks appa...

This paper describes the early history of GSM, who founded it, and why it was founded. Some services of GSM will be described like SMS, and the emergency call service. The network layout of GSM, and the layers of the protocol will also be described. Introduction GSM was conceived in the early 1980’s by the study group: Groupe Spécial Mobile. GSM had some ambitious goals, some were met, and some...

Location privacy in Location Based Services (LBS) is the capability to protect the connection between user’s identity, uncertainty sources, servers and database, thereby restraining an impending attacker from conveniently linking users of LBS to convinced locations. Smart Phones have become most important gadget for maintaining the daily activities, highly interconnected urban population is als...

In this paper, we consider problem of positioning of mobile phones, different approaches were produced for these targets using GPS, WiFi, GSM, UMTS and other sensors, which exist in today smart phone sensors. Location awareness in general is emerging a tremendous interest in different fields and scopes. Position is the key element of context awareness. However GPS produces an accurate position,...

Introduction: Over the last decade, exposure to electromagnetic waves due to base station antennas has increased. This study was planned to evaluate the effects of different electrical field strengths with 950 MHz waves of the GSM mobile phone system on the excitatory postsynaptic potentiation (EPSP) slope of the dentate gyrus long-term potentiation (LTP). Material and Methods: Twenty four naiv...

OBJECTIVE It has been reported that GSM electromagnetic fields (GSM-EMFs) of mobile phones modulate--after a prolonged exposure--inter-hemispheric synchronization of temporal and frontal resting electroencephalographic (EEG) rhythms in normal young subjects [Vecchio et al., 2007]. Here we tested the hypothesis that this effect can vary on physiological aging as a sign of changes in the function...

BACKGROUND It is widely accepted that DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) and their misrepair in stem cells are critical events in the multistage origination of various leukemias and tumors, including gliomas. OBJECTIVES We studied whether microwaves from mobile telephones of the Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) and the Universal Global Telecommunications System (UMTS) induce DSBs or ...

dear editor, lack of ionizing radiation and the low level energy emission from cell phones initially led to a public perception that use of mobile phones is safe. however, the dramatic increase in the use of cell phones has generated great concerns about their potential adverse effects. we have previously found no association between self-reported illness symptoms and the exposures to microwave...
