this paper presents a new modified shuffled frog leaping algorithm (msfla) applied to design simultaneous coordinated tuning of damping controllers to damp the power system low frequency oscillations. for this, a new frog leaping rule is proposed to improve the local exploration and performance of the original sfla and the genetic mutation operator is employed for new frog generation instead of...

background: the extremely low-frequency electromagnetic field (elf-emf), mainly emitted by electric transmission lines and household electronic appliances, is becoming a worldwide health risk. it is imperative to investigate the biological impacts of elf-emf and to identify products that are resistant to the radiation from 50 hz elf-emf. in this study, we investigated the biological impacts of ...

introduction: transient cavitations induced by low frequency irradiation of ultrasound can be used to treat tumors. previous studies in in-vitro experiments have shown that induced cavitation by dual or multiple frequencies of ultrasound is greater than induced cavitation by single frequency irradiation. in this study, we compared and evaluated the treatment effects of dual frequency irradiatio...

electromagnetic field (emf) radiation affects cellular and brain chemistry and function, resulting in deleterious effects such as free radicals formation, impaired dna repair, reduced melatonin and blood brain barrier protection, and defects on learning and memory and other higher brain functions. in this paper the effects of low frequency emf of 50- and 217 hz, ranges often associated with com...

low frequency noise (lfn) is ubiquitous in both occupational and general environments. mental performance of subjects exposed to lfn is expected to be impaired. individual characters seem to play a significant role in this process. this study aimed to evaluate the effects of moderate levels of lfn (20–200 hz) on mental performance. fifty-three subjects (in two groups) were exposed to low and fl...
