The Effect of Microwave on Y-Maze Learning in the White Rat

Roger C. Nealeigh et al. · 1971

Twenty female Sprague-Dawley rats about 90 days old were randomly assigned to a control group and a microwave-irradiated group. The microwave exposures consisted of 2.45 GHz continuous wave irradiation for 20 minutes at a maximum power density of 50 mw/cm*. Performance of white rats in a Y-maze learning task was altered by exposures of 2.45 GHz microwaves at a measured maximum level of 50 mW/cm*.

Microwave Cataract

Robert W. Neidlinger · 1971

The author reviews at least four main mechanisms by which microwave radiation could produce cataracts. The author notes that it is extremely difficult to design experiments that yield unequivocal results relevant to occupational exposure.

Induced fields and heating within a cranial structure irradiated by an electromagnetic plane wave

Shapiro AR, Lutomirski RF, Yura HT · 1971

Researchers calculated induced fields and static heating patterns for a multilayered spherical model of a primate cranial structure irradiated by a plane wave at 3000 MHz. They demonstrated that the semi-infinite slab model is inappropriate for calculating microwave radiation dosage for the human head and that the infinite slab model can give large errors for the internal fields.

The Information Content of an Electromagnetic Field with Relevance to Sensory Processing of Information

T. W. Barrett · 1971

The paper describes the forms that information quanta can take in an electromagnetic field, showing a series of quanta increasing in size beyond a theoretical minimum. The theoretical minimum quantum uses a modulating envelope called D₀(x), while mammalian hearing employs a D₀(x)³/² envelope. The electric fish Gnathonemus petersii produces 200-microsecond pulses in a 1–10 kHz range, but theoretical minimum signals above 3 kHz are 166 microseconds or less, indicating the fish uses higher-order quanta or multiple minimum quanta.

UHF ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES AND HUMAN HEALTH

V. M. Malyshev, S. I. Abolonin · 1970

Acute effects involve short-term action of high inte while chronic effects involve action of low-intensity microw. Case histories document chronic disease progression after contact with UHF fields. The monograph concludes with organizational and technical preventive measures. The review notes shortcomings including an unresolved distinction between thermal and nonthermal mechanisms.
