This paper describes a system intended to encourage daily walking exercise in people with COPD. During home exercise, the platform sends SMS messages to the patient's mobile phone indicating the target exercise intensity (linked to music tempo). The abstract does not report any findings about health outcomes or…

This exposure assessment measured peak magnetic fields during magnetic particle inspection, a nondestructive testing method that uses electromagnetism. Ninety-five peak measurements taken while inspecting 8 turbine engine shafts ranged from

This in vitro study measured biophoton/chemiluminescence emission from MDCK cells after inducing reactive oxygen species with hydrogen peroxide. The authors report that photon emission increased with hydrogen peroxide dose and that photomultiplier tube measurements agreed with fluorescence microscopy observations.…

This laboratory study examined whether a weak alternating magnetic field tuned to the cyclotron frequency of Ca2+ and K+ ions influences fusion of tobacco and soya protoplasts. The abstract reports a 2–3× increase in protoplast fusion frequency under exposure. It also reports involvement of calcium ions in induction…

This animal study evaluated two multiprobe radiofrequency ablation device approaches in pigs, including an impedance-based algorithm and clustered/combination probes with and without a switcher controller. The Pringle maneuver was associated with larger ablation volumes and shorter ablation times in one experiment,…

This study measured satellite structures of second- and third-harmonic spectra reflected from solid targets during femtosecond laser–plasma interactions using an optical multi-channel spectrometer. Red-shifted satellite structures of 2ω0 and 3ω0 were observed, and at ~10^18 W/cm^2 the inferred spontaneous magnetic…

This engineering study examines multi-wall carbon nanotubes suspended in water exposed to AC electric fields generated by 3D electrodes. It reports field-induced polarization leading to nanotube alignment and long-range, electrically conducting assemblies spanning the electrode gap, with assembly length controlled by…

This paper describes a modified approach for assessing occupational EMF exposure during work on radio and television towers and masts, where exposure can be high and tasks/routes are not fixed. The method calculates maximum admissible dwell time at different mast levels while incorporating the EMF dose accumulated…

This randomized animal study tested whether pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF)-induced vibration affects orthodontic tooth movement produced by magnetic and/or mechanical forces. Forty-four Wistar rats were exposed to PEMF-induced vibration or normal atmosphere while tooth movement was induced using magnets and/or…

This laboratory study tested microwave radiation (10 and 60 mW/cm2 for 5, 30, or 60 minutes) on fungal and actinomycetal spores grown on agar and on common building materials under wet and dry humidity conditions. Reported effects on spore viability depended on strain, growth conditions, humidity, power density, and…

This paper studies chaotic mixing driven by breakup and reformation of a magnetic particle chain under a rotating magnetic field using direct numerical simulation. The authors report that chain motion and the degree of chaos depend strongly on the Mason number, and that a limited Mason number range produces repeated…
