NAVIGATIONAL COMPASS IN MAGNETOTACTIC BACTERIA

R.P. Blakemore, R.B. Frankel, A.J. Kalmijn · 1978

Mössbauer spectroscopy revealed that freshwater magnetotactic spirilla contain iron-rich particles of about 50 nanometers consisting primarily of magnetite. The authors demonstrate that these particles fall in the single magnetic domain size range and that a chain of such particles functions as a single magnetic dipole moment.

INFORMATION PROFILE - RADIOFREQUENCY AND MICROWAVE RADIATION

Science Information Services Department · 1978

Rats exposed to pulsed radiofrequency or microwave frequencies for up to three hours a day over 0.5 to 6.0 months showed chemical and cellular blood changes, reduced cardiac, hepatic, and neural metabolism, hepatic histologic changes, and severe testicular damage. Mice exposed to 9 GHz for a few minutes a day for 59 weeks developed monocytic leukosis and myeloid leukemia three times as often as controls. Human studies included a Russian report that cardiovascular patients chronically exposed to microwave radiation did not improve after changing jobs, a Finnish study correlating a radar site with increased fatal heart attacks, and a study of 140 radio and television operators with at least 10 years exposure showing elevated alpha-globulin and total serum protein.

EFFECTS OF MICROWAVES ON FEATHER RELEASE IN CHICKENS

Stephen A. Kula, B.F. Miller, H.L. Enos · 1978

A total of 193 birds were processed by microwave. In the first trial, feather tracts were divided into two groups that responded similarly to microwave feather release: the torso and the extremities. Good feather release depended on bird weight, power, time, and whether the area was torso or extremities. Microwave feather release used an estimated 132 BTU per bird versus 200 BTU for hot water scalding, a potential energy savings of 34%.
