This observational space-physics study reports a substorm-associated injection of MeV electrons into the inner magnetosphere measured by Van Allen Probes-A. A strong dipolarization electric field (~50 mV/m) coincided with a dispersionless injection up to ~3 MeV and pitch angle signatures consistent with betatron…

This workplace measurement study assessed intermediate frequency (IF) and extremely low frequency (ELF) magnetic field exposure among cashiers working near electronic article surveillance (EAS) systems in Finnish stores. Typical seated exposures were reported as well below limits, but short-term exceedances of ICNIRP…

This engineering study reports optical and electrical characteristics of photonic gel cells made from a PS-b-P2VP lamellar film and a hydrogel electrolyte on ITO glass. Applying 2 V between two facing electrodes over 30 minutes shifted the device reflectance peak from 538 nm up to 604 nm with limited bandwidth…

This engineering/medical physics study used Monte Carlo simulations to examine how a uniform transverse magnetic field affects the dose distribution of a 30 MeV electron beam in a water phantom. The abstract reports substantial changes in depth-dose, including reduced range and a pronounced end-of-range dose peak…

The paper reviews and analyzes mechanisms for resonance action of extremely weak alternating magnetic fields (40 nT) combined with weak static fields (40 μT), tuned to cyclotron frequencies. It references prior reports of narrow resonant peaks in electrical conductivity of aqueous solutions and biomedical effects in…

This paper presents an engineering approach for real-time ECG signal processing on a mobile phone with remote transmission to a medical center. The method uses an IIR low-pass filter and Hilbert transform to support R-peak detection and arrhythmia alerting. Reported algorithm performance includes 96.97% sensitivity…

This prospective randomized study compared submucosal resection (SMR) with radiofrequency turbinate volume reduction (RFTVR) in 60 patients with inferior turbinate hypertrophy. Both procedures significantly reduced turbinate volume and improved nasal obstruction symptoms and nasal inspiratory peak flow by 2 months.…

This exposure assessment study used portable exposure meters to characterize variability and repeatability of mobile phone base station RF-EMF measurements in urban areas of Basel and Amsterdam. Reported exposure levels varied by area type and city, with downtown/business areas showing higher ranges than residential…

This paper investigates, in an interneuronal network model, how a steady DC electric field induced by magnetic stimulation affects network coherence and synchronization. The authors report that coherence can exhibit a peak or plateau across a defined range of induced field values. Effects varied by network topology…

This physics study analyzes circular wave packets in high Rydberg states produced by applying a pulsed electric field to extreme Stark states. It reports a position-dependent energy gradient that creates a correlation between principal quantum number and spatial coordinate, which appears insensitive to the initial…

This study compared two non-invasive acupoint stimulation methods—TEAS and PEMF—as alternatives to manual acupuncture for recovery from exercise-induced muscle fatigue. Using 2 Hz stimulation (PEMF magnetic flux 30.92 mT), the authors report faster recovery of EMG median frequency and improved peak torque recovery in…

This paper proposes that Pb nanowires created by repeated indentation of a Pb tip on a Pb substrate may exhibit topological superconducting properties in an external magnetic field. The authors analyzed conductance curves from different nanowires and report that, in a few cases, the critical current shows a peculiar…

This engineering study describes a handheld microfluidic preconcentrator that uses dielectrophoresis generated by circular microelectrodes with a stepping electric field. Numerical simulations were used to illustrate the electric-field concept. In experiments, HeLa cells were reportedly preconcentrated within 160…

This engineering study describes an experimental setup using a small electret condenser microphone connected to a notebook/PC to detect extremely low frequency signals. Using a small air cell made from a drilled DVD plate with a speaker and microphone on opposite sides, the microphone captured signals in the 0.5–20…

This engineering/food science study examined ohmic heating of peaches at 60 V/cm using bipolar pulses across frequencies from 50 Hz to 1 MHz. Heating time to a target temperature and multiple electrical properties were frequency-dependent, particularly for intact tissue. The authors report faster electro-thermal…
