APPLICATION OF MICROWAVE FREQUENCY MEASUREMENTS TO IDENTIFY PATHOLOGICAL COMPOUNDS IN BIOLOGICAL SPECIMENS

K. Bakin, E. E. Stickley · 1970

Dielectric relaxation times of dipole liquids are directly proportional to molecular radius and viscosity and inversely proportional to temperature. The Debye model, modified by a form factor for non-spherical molecules, can characterize molecular size and form from dielectric properties. Exploratory trials tested whether the method could detect shape or configuration variations in compounds from pathological situations. The method's sensitivity appeared to support its applicability, with further refinements in development.

Sleep & Circadian Rhythm

Evaluation of electrotherapeutic sleep by evoked potentials

Norbert T. Christman et al. · 1969

The study was designed to evaluate the feasibility of producing sleep in a variety of subjects without the use of sedatives and narcotics. The study used a two-fold approach: detecting physiological changes in evoked scalp potentials from small rectangular currents averaging 0 to 1.5 milliamperes, and detecting changes in evoked potentials from the induced sleep state. Squirrel monkeys were used initially to standardize the recording technique and determine physiological effects of the currents, followed by human volunteers for the quantitative sleep study.

Non-ionizing radiation - the physical relationship between typical sources and human targets

A. G. Hunt · 1969

The author interprets typical radiation sources as applied to human targets and identifies deficiencies in applying available information to determine safe working levels. Laser radiation problems are discussed with particular attention drawn to the critical near infra-red region. The paper suggests improved data is required for spectral biological effects at all wavelengths with emphasis on damage threshold levels.

Radiation Exposure Overview - Microwave Ovens and the Public

Marvin Rosenstein, Warren A. Brill, Charles K. Showalter · 1969

Field surveys of 494 microwave oven units found that 109 units, or 22 percent, emitted radiation greater than 10 mW/cm² under normal operating conditions. Laboratory measurements demonstrated that power densities exceeding 700 mW/cm² could be produced if door safety interlocks failed or were defeated and the door was wide open. No specific performance standard for microwave oven exposure had been promulgated at the time of the report. Known human bioeffects from microwave exposure at levels of several mW/cm² to several hundred mW/cm² included temporary sterility in males, eye cataracts, and blood changes. A single case report described a microwave oven repairman with a recurrent hemorrhagic eruption that was suggested as possibly caused by microwave energy from microwave ovens.
