Increasing applications of microwave radiation are of great concern with regard to public health. Several studies have been conducted detect effects of microwave exposure genetic material leading to negative or questionable results. The Micronucleus (MN) assay which is proved to be a useful method for detection of radiation exposure-induced cytogenetic damage was used in the present study to in...

The demand for broadband wireless communication in home and office has been increasing exponentially; thus, the need for reliable and effective communication is very crucial. Both theoretical and experimental investigations have clearly shown that electromagnetic radiation from external sources such as microwave oven (MWO) has detrimental impact on the wireless medium and the media content. The...

Recently we showed that microwave (MW) double resonance experiments can be performed with microwave Fourier transform (MWFT) techniques [1]. In our first experiments we used a continuous microwave (CW) pump radiation. One observation is that the transient emission signal in the presence of a CW p u m p radiation decays faster. This results in an additional line broadening, as can be seen in Fig...

The major objective of this study is to develop an integrated orbit, attitude, and structural control system architecture for very large Space Solar Power Satellites (SSPS) in geosynchronous orbit. This study focuses on the 1.2-GW “Abacus” SSPS concept characterized by a 3.2 × 3.2 km solar-array platform, a 500-m diameter microwave beam transmitting antenna, and a 500 × 700 m earth-tracking ref...

The objective of this study is to determine the bactericidal effect of gamma and microwave radiation on Aeromonas hydrophila inoculated in fish fillets. The study revealed that treatment of fish fillets with a dose of 1 kGy gamma radiation reduced the population of A.hydrophila by 10 cfu/g, while the dose of 2 and 3 kGy completely eliminated the microorganism. Treatment of fish fillets with mic...

seaweeds are the novel bioactive compounds resources with antioxidant activity. the aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of microwave radiation on antioxidant compounds extracted from red algae hypneahamulosa and optimal extraction conditions using response surface methodology (rsm).. independent variables were time (4,8,12 min), acetone/water concentration (50%,75% ,100% acetone) and...

By R. A. E. TIIor IsoN, S. M. MICHAELSON AND J. W. HOWLAND W ITH THE INCREASED USE of microwave generating systems, some with maximum output in excess of 1 megawatt, information on the l)iobogic effect of microwaves is of importance. Microwave energies range in the radio-frequency region of the electromagnetic spectrum from 300 megacycles/sec. (Mc./sec.) up to 300,000 Me/sec. This is equivalent...

Present study examines biological effects of 2.45 GHz microwave radiation in Parkes strain mice. Forty-day-old mice were exposed to CW (continuous wave) microwave radiation (2 h/day for 30 days). Locomotor activity was recorded on running wheel for 12 days prior to microwave exposure (pre-exposure), 7 days during the first week of exposure (short-term exposure) and another 7-day spell during th...
