OBJECTIVE Use of a cellular phone has been shown to negatively affect one's attention to the driving task, leading to an increase in crash risk. At any given daylight hour, about 6% of US drivers are actively talking on a hand-held cell phone. However, previous surveys have focused only on cell phone use during the day. Driving at night has been shown to be a riskier activity than driving durin...

Alfvén waves dissipation is an extensively studied mechanism for the coronal heating problem. These waves can be generated by magnetic reconnection and propagated along the reconnected field lines. Here, we study the generation of Alfvén waves at the presence of both steady flow and sheared magnetic field in the longitudinally density stratified of solar spicules. The initial flow is assumed to...

Introduction The wave propagation in magneto-electro-elastic materials has gained considerable importance since last decade. The electro-magneto-elastic materials exhibit a desirable coupling effect between electric and magnetic fields, which are useful in smart structure applications. These materials have the capacity to convert one form of energy namely, magnetic, electric and mechanical ener...

ferritin is a macromolecule and is responsible for the long term iron storage function in human serum and plasma. recent studies have highlighted the role of cell phone exposure on central nervous system, immune function and reproduction. the aim of this study was to investigate whether the human serum ferritin level could be interfered by the exposure to the 900 mhz gsm cell phones. fifty huma...

In these lectures general relativity is outlined as the classical field theory of gravity, emphasizing physical phenomena rather than formalism. Dynamical solutions representing traveling waves as well as stationary fields like those of black holes are discussed. Their properties are investigated by studying the geodesic structure of the corresponding space-times, as representing the motion of ...

Introduction: With the increase in mobile phone usage in public places, the use of mobile phone jammer has also increased therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of mobile phone jammer on the level of anxiety in mice. Methods: Forty male and 40 female naive mice (25-30 g) were randomly divided into four groups (control, 900 MHz, 1800 MHz and 900+1800 MHz exposures). Ani...

Introduction The negative health effects of electromagnetic radiation and psychological dependence are among the major consequences of widespread cell phone use in the general population, especially among adolescents. In this study, the relationship between cell phone use and sleep quality parameters was evaluated. Materials and Methods The study sample consisted of 820 students (305 males and ...

nowadays mobile phone is very popular, causing concern about the effect it has on people's health. parotid salivary glands are in close contact to cell phone while talking with the phone and the possibility of being affected by them. limited studies have evaluated the effect of cell phone use on the secretions of these glands; so this study was designed to investigate the effects of duration of...

Mobile phone use and wireless communication technology have grown explosively over the past decades. This rapid growth has caused widespread global concern about the potential detrimental effects of this technology on human health. Stem cells generate specialized cell types of the tissue in which they reside through normal differentiation pathways. Considering the undeniable importance of stem ...

Background: The use of a cell phone when driving has been recognized as a type of distraction worldwide. Addictive tendency to use technology, including cell phone use while driving may be a substantial problem for drivers and increasing risk of accidents. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of drivers’ addiction to use a cell phone while driving.  Materials and Methods...
