background : substantial evidence indicates that exposure to electromagnetic fields (emf) above certain levels can affect human health through triggering some biological responses. according to who, short-term exposure to emf at the levels present in the home/environment do not cause any apparent detrimental effects in healthy individuals. however, now, there is a debate on whether long-term ex...

OBJECTIVES The objectives of this study were to assess whether people who report hypersensitivity to weak electromagnetic fields (EMFs) are better at detecting EMF under blind or double-blind conditions than nonhypersensitive individuals, and to test whether they respond to the presence of EMF with increased symptom reporting. METHODS An extensive systematic search was used to identify releva...

introduction: the use of cell phones is widespread and there are public concerns regarding its possible deleterious effects on human health especially on the pregnancy outcomes. in this study, structural changes of the placenta after applying the cell phone radiation were examined in the mice model.   materials and methods: for this work, 40 pregnant balb/c mice were randomly allocated to one c...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether 50 Hz extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMFs) affect the amount of orthodontic tooth movement in rats. The experiments were performed on 18 male Sprague-Dawley rats. The rats were randomly divided into three groups (n = 6): cage-control (Cg-Cnt) group (n = 6); sinusoidal electromagnetic field (SEMF) group (n = 6); and pulsed el...

The main objective of this paper is to clarify the ontology of DiracHestenes spinor fields (DHSF ) and its relationship with sum of even multivector fields, on a general Riemann-Cartan spacetime M=(M, g,∇, τg, ↑) admitting a spin structure and to give a mathematically rigorous derivation of the so called Dirac-Hestenes equation (DHE ) when M is a Lorentzian spacetime. To this aim we introduce t...

In this research, the effects of electromagnetic fields of various strengths (0, 1 and 2mT) have been investigated on antioxidant enzymes activity in Valerian (Valeriana officinalis L.). The dry and wet (soaked for 30 min) Valerian seeds were exposed to electromagnetic fields 30 min per day for 3 days. Each treatment and control groups had 3 replicates and 10 seeds were employed for each replic...

The scenario of multiple wireless power transfer (WPT) systems working closely, synchronously or asynchronously with phase difference often occurs in power supply for household appliances and electric vehicles in parking lots. Magnetic field leakage from the WPT systems is also varied due to unpredictable asynchronous working conditions. In this study, the magnetic field leakage from parallel W...

Electrical power lines are ubiquitous in the developed world and in urban areas of the developing world. All electrical currents, including those running through power lines, generate electric and magnetic fields (EMFs). Electrical power lines, towers,and distribution poles are used by birds for perching, hunting, and nesting. Therefore, many bird species, like humans, are exposed to EMFs throu...

conclusions the study results are indicative of the impact of electromagnetic fields on computer users’ health, and it is thus advisable to avoid leaving computers switched on unnecessarily in addition to observing the minimum distance of 60 cm from computer monitors to control the adverse effects of electromagnetic fields. materials and methods electric and magnetic field intensities were meas...
