background there is currently great concern about the possible adverse effect of microwave radiation from cell phones. in addition, noise is one of the physical pollutants of modern societies. objectives the present study aimed to examine the separate and simultaneous effects of cell phone microwaves, noise, and their effects on sperm parameters and total antioxidant capacity in adult male rats...

Cell phones have changed the way people live. A deeper understanding of how the attributes of these technologies influence end-users’ perceptions is an important issue. A better understanding of cellular phone adoption and use process will inform people’s understanding of the diffusion process of other types of communication technologies. This empirical paper examines the influence of the Techn...

background: the goals of the present work were to retrieve the scientific articles published on addiction to the internet, video games, and cell phones and to analyze the pattern of publications in this area (who is doing the research, when and where it is taking place, and in which journals it is being  published), to determine the research being conducted as well as to document geographical t...

This paper explores direct phone-to-phone communication between the driver’s phone & the owner’s phone to support mobile sensing applications. Direct communication between driver’s phone & owner’s phone is an important in improving data collection efficiency and sharing participatory sensing information in an inexpensive manner. We design a practical and optimized communication mechanism for di...

Many proposed technological solutions to emergency response during disasters involve the use of cellular telephone technology. However, cell phone networks quickly become saturated during and/or immediately after a disaster and remain saturated for critical periods. In this study, we investigated cell phone use by Virginia Tech students, faculty and staff during the shootings on April 16, 2007 ...
