This engineering/methods study addresses computational artifacts that can affect coupling factor calculations for localized EMF exposure assessment in IEC 62311/62233, particularly below 10 MHz. The authors propose using the 99.99th percentile rather than the maximum internal quantity to mitigate abnormal peaks from…

This paper develops supervised machine-learning prediction models to analyze potential impacts of weak RF-EMF on human and animal cells using extracted laboratory experimental data from prior publications. Data from 300 peer-reviewed papers (1127 experimental case studies) were used with feature selection and…

This engineering/simulation study evaluates RF applicator concepts for ThermalMR brain tumor heating at 297 MHz (7.0 Tesla) using clinically realistic GBM-based models. EMF simulations compared 10 applicator designs and two SAR-based planning algorithms for small and large target volumes. Power-focused optimization…

This study describes a therapeutic use of athermal, amplitude-modulated RF EMF (27.12 MHz) at breast cancer-specific frequencies to target breast cancer brain metastases. The abstract reports tumor growth suppression in animal models and durable regression in one patient with triple negative breast cancer brain…

This study used real-time measurements on a university campus to examine how the number of users relates to RF electric field strength from cellular systems and a Wi-Fi access point. The authors report empirical models that estimate E from user counts, with stated accuracies of 86% for cellular-related measurements…

This engineering study investigated RF-induced power deposition from insulated leads of different lengths positioned near two surrounding tissues. The authors report that both the electromagnetic lead models and the resulting power deposition depended strongly on the electrical properties of both tissues. Using a…

This engineering study uses a 3D electromagnetic solver to simulate in-to-out body RF path loss for a wireless capsule endoscopy link. The capsule antenna is tuned for the 402 MHz MICS band while accounting for human body properties. The authors examine how capsule misalignment, rotation, and the human body model…

This study tested noninvasive 13.56 MHz radiofrequency electric fields as a treatment adjunct for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma in cell lines and mouse xenograft models. The authors report RF exposure caused cytotoxicity in PDAC cells via autophagy (not apoptosis) and that normal pancreatic ductal epithelial cells…

This engineering paper models the driving system of a centrifugal blood pump for extracorporeal circulation, focusing on disc magnetic coupling. It uses a three-dimensional static magnetic field edge element method in Ansys to numerically calculate magnetic fields and analyze how coupling parameters relate to…

This study models nematic liquid crystals embedded in random polymer networks, where disorder disrupts long-range order and produces a glassy state. It uses simulations and an Imry-Ma-like analytic approach to visualize domains, predict domain size, and calculate the response to an applied electric field. The authors…

This engineering simulation study models colloidal particle transport and deposition in a membrane filtration channel at a particle volume fraction of 10%. The model couples a dynamically updating crossflow velocity field with particle-particle and particle-membrane interaction potentials (electrostatic double layer…

This theoretical study models electron spin resonance and spin/charge pumping in zigzag graphene nanoribbons driven by a transverse rotating magnetic field without applied bias. It reports that pumped spin current density increases with ribbon size and rotating-field intensity, and that even-chain ribbons can also…

This theoretical/engineering study models arrays of plasmonic core-shell nano-radiators positioned over layered substrates using a Green's function dipole approach. The model is validated with full-wave FDTD simulations. The authors report that nanoparticle arraying and multilayer substrate design can be used to…

This paper models biological proton pumping in cytochrome c oxidase under an applied oscillating electric field. The authors report that proton pumping efficiency and steady-state electronic currents vary significantly with the field’s frequency and amplitude. A spectral analysis is described as supporting dominant…

This paper models extravascular MRI signal decay (R2/R2*) as a function of blood oxygenation, vessel geometry, and magnetic field strength up to 9.4 T using Monte Carlo diffusion simulations. It reports different vessel-size dependencies for Hahn-spin-echo versus gradient-recalled-echo relaxation across field…
