Epidemiological studies suggest that exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs) in the environment may be associated with mutagenic changes, but the relation between EMF exposure and aneuploidy has not previously been studied. Environmental EMFs apparently lack the energy necessary to function as aneugens, but the possibility exists that EMFs could influence the incidence of aneuploidy synergist...

PURPOSE To investigate the hypothesis that exposure to a certain combination of static and time-varying electromagnetic fields (EMF) results in an increase in motility of the marine diatom Amphora coffeaeformis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Diatom motility on agar was positively correlated with calcium ion (Ca2+) concentration. In previous experiments extremely low frequency EMF (16 Hz) had the grea...

Tropical endomyocardial fibrosis (EMF) is a neglected disease of poverty that afflicts rural populations in tropical low-income countries, with some certain high-prevalence areas. Tropical EMF is characterized by the deposition of fibrous tissue in the endomyocardium, leading to restrictive physiology. Since the first descriptions in Uganda in 1948, high-frequency areas for EMF have included Af...

Using UML modeling for designing a software product is heavily used by the industry. However the tool support for model based development have not reached the same level as the tool support of source code based development. Our goal was to provide a tool to support refactoring and static analysis of UML models, which were developed in the open source modeling framework, Papyrus [Papyrus 2014]. ...

Abstract A multiphase study was performed to find an effective method to evaluate electromagnetic field (EMF) sensitivity of patients. The first phase developed criteria for controlled testing using an environment low in chemical, particulate, and EMF pollution. Monitoring devices were used in an effort to ensure that extraneous EMF would not interfere with the tests. A second phase involved a ...

This study was conducted to throw light on electromagnetic radiofrequency (EMR) emitted from cell phones which was accused of causing a number of negative health effects in the form of influencing on the heart and circulatory system. 110 adult albino rats, of both sexes, weighing 180200 gms were used in the present study. Animals were allocated into two main groups: group I, including rats expo...

INTRODUCTION To date, occupational exposure assessment of electromagnetic fields (EMF) has relied on occupation-based measurements and exposure estimates. However, misclassification due to between-worker variability remains an unsolved challenge. A source-based approach, supported by detailed subject data on determinants of exposure, may allow for a more individualized exposure assessment. Deta...

The expansion of mobile phone technology has raised concerns regarding the effect of 900-MHz electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure on the central nervous system. At present, the developing human brain is regularly exposed to mobile telephones, pre- and postnatally. Several studies have demonstrated the acute effects of EMF exposure during pre- or postnatal periods; however, the chronic effects o...

The direct targets of extremely low and microwave frequency range electromagnetic fields (EMFs) in producing non-thermal effects have not been clearly established. However, studies in the literature, reviewed here, provide substantial support for such direct targets. Twenty-three studies have shown that voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs) produce these and other EMF effects, such that the L-...

background: considerable attention is focused on effects of electromagnetic field (emf) and its increasing use in everyday life. appliances and various equipments are sources of electromagnetic fields with a wide-range of technical characteristics. objective: in this study we investigated the effect of emf (50 hz, 0.5 mt) on epididymis and deferens duct in mice. materials and methods: 30 balb/c...
