High frequency microwave electromagnetic radiation from mobile phones and other modern devices has the potential to damage eye tissues, but its effect on the lens epithelium is unknown at present. The objective of this study was to investigate the non-thermal effects of high frequency microwave electromagnetic radiation (1.1GHz, 2.22 mW) on the eye lens epithelium in situ. Bovine lenses were in...

The objectives of the nonionizing radiation research program are as follows: (1) to develop microwave exposure systems for bioeffects research; (2) to develop and test techniques for measuring microwave energy absorption; (3) to determine the effect of microwaves on isolated nerve preparations; (4) to determine how 2450 MHz microwave radiation interacts with biological systems at all levels; (5...

Strong evidence for self-excited emission of coherent synchrotron radiation in the microwave spectral region was observed at the Synchrotron Ultraviolet Radiation Facility (SURF III) electron storage ring at the NIST. The microwave emission between 25 and 35 mm was dominated by intense bursts of radiation. The intensity enhancement during these bursts was on the order of 10 000 to 50 000 over t...

This paper represents design methodology of novel phased array antenna and its radiation pattern of 100 elements linear phased array for highly efficient microwave power transmission (MPT) which will be focused on ground based receiving station for microwave power transmission from Space Solar Power Satellite (SSPS) system. Taking different ratio between antenna element spacing, d and wavelengt...

BACKGROUND Cutaneous leishmaniasis caused by L. major is an important public health problem in endemic areas. The aim of this study was to explore the therapeutic effect of microwave and or infrared radiation in the treatment of lesion induced in BALB/c mice by L. major inoculation. METHODS The footpad lesion was induced in BALB/c mice by inoculation of L. major promastigotes subcutaneously. ...

background: the biological solids produced during wastewater treatment processes are called sludge. as sludge contains various sickening microorganisms such as pathogens, organic and inorganic substances and has adverse effects on human and environment, therefore it should be treated and processed entirely prior to disposal and then disposed in line to the environmental regulations. thermal tre...

Big Bang Leftovers in the Microwave: Cosmology with the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation

Recent years many authors reported thermal anomaly change around epicenter before earthquake. Some researchers tried to predict the earthquake based on the analysis on the temperature anomaly feature by using satellite thermal infrared data. However the infrared radiation can not pass through the thick-layer cloud, so as to hardly achieve the earthquake monitoring. Microwave is also a kind of t...

The Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), which permeates the entire Universe, is the radiation left over from just 390,000 years after the Big Bang. On very large scales, the CMB radiation field is smooth and isotropic, but the existence of structure in the Universe – stars, galaxies, clusters of galaxies, . . . – suggests that the field should fluctuate on smaller scales. Recent observations, fr...
