The Impact of Electrical Energies on Psychodynamics

Eldon Byrd · 1974

The author states that the paper will explore recent findings concerning possible external and internal electrical influences on psychodynamic development and states. Rhythms are described as the central theme, with their initiation, maintenance, and correlation at the core of normal and pathological psychodynamic states. Severe brain damage eliminates adrenal steroid hormone circadian rhythm. The deaf can respond to pulse-modulated electronic transmitters, implying a possible cellular response integrated by an organ or the brain.

QUANTITATION OF MICROWAVE RADIATION EFFECTS ON THE EYES OF RABBITS AT 2450 MHz AND 918 MHz

Arthur W. Guy, James C. Lin, Piro O. Kramar, Ashley F. Emery · 1974

Absorbed power peaked in the vitreous body at 0.92 mW/cm² per 1 mW/cm² incident power. Eye temperatures reached plateaus after 15-20 minutes, with 100 mW/cm² staying below 41°C while 200 and 300 mW/cm² exceeded 41°C. Eighty-one rabbits were used to determine the cataractogenic threshold for 2450 MHz radiation.

Rate Effects in Isolated Hearts Induced by Microwave Radiation

J. L. Lords, C. H. Durney, A. M. Borg, C. E. Tinney · 1974

Researchers exposed isolated turtle hearts submerged in Ringer's solution to continuous 960-MHz microwave irradiation while measuring heart rate and force of contraction. At a total input power of 100 mW, corresponding to an estimated 3.3 mW absorbed by the heart, the average heart rate decreased (bradycardia). The authors concluded that the bradycardia could not be explained by heating because raising the bath temperature increased heart rate. They hypothesized that microwave stimulation of nerve remnants in the heart caused the bradycardia.

Possibilities for Controlling Insects with Microwaves and Lower Frequency RF Energy

Stuart O. Nelson, Laverne E. Stetson · 1974

Researchers reviewed principles for controlling stored-product insects with radio-frequency energy and presented data on dielectric properties of insects and grain. Experimental results confirmed that 39 MHz treatment achieved complete weevil mortality at lower wheat temperatures than 2450 MHz treatment. Delayed mortality was also more severe at 39 MHz than at 2450 MHz. Cost estimates indicated RF methods might be three to five times more expensive than chemical controls.

DETERMINATION OF THE ABSORPTION OF MICROWAVE RADIATION BY A BIOLOGICAL SPECIMEN IN A 2450 MHZ MICROWAVE FIELD

Review of a Program to Assess the Effects on Man from Exposure to Microwaves

Michaelson SM · 1974

The paper reviews the International Symposium on Biologic Effects and Health Hazards of Microwave Radiation held in Warsaw 15-18 October 1973 and the WHO Evaluation Group meeting in Copenhagen 22-23 October 1973. Over fifty participants from 12 countries and representatives from 5 international organizations attended, and thirty-eight papers from nine countries were presented. Symposium authors agreed that measurement of incident fields and energy absorption posed multiple problems and that accurate dosimetric measurement could only be achieved to a small extent.

Effects of Exposure to Microwaves: Problems and Perspectives

Sol M. Michaelson · 1974

Most experimental data supported the concept that the effects of microwave exposure are primarily, if not only, a response to hyperthermia or altered thermal gradients in the body. Extensive investigations showed that for frequencies between 200 and 24,500 MHz, exposure to power density greater than 100 mW/cm? for 1 hr or more could have pathophysiologic manifestations of a thermal nature. At power densities less than 100 mW/cm?, evidence of pathologic change was described as nonexistent or equivocal.

MICROWAVE HEARING: EVIDENCE FOR THERMOACOUSTIC STIMULATION OF THE HUMAN AUDITORY SYSTEM BY PULSED MICROWAVES

K. Foster · 1974

The transients were confirmed as thermal by their disappearance at 4°C where water's expansion coefficient vanishes. At the human hearing threshold, microwave pulses produced 90 dB pressure transients, above the 80 dB bone-conduction threshold for noise bursts.

KINETICS OF THE PHOTO-INDUCED EPR SIGNAL IN WHOLE-CELL RHODOSPIRILLUM RUBRUM: EFFECTS OF LIGHT INTENSITY, DARK ADAPTATION, TEMPERATURE, AND MICROWAVE POWER

G. A. CORKER, S. A. SHARPE · 1974

Researchers studied the kinetics of the photo-induced P870* EPR signal in whole-cell Rhodospirillum rubrum at room temperature. At low actinic light intensity the signal growth appeared monotonic with a very slow second phase and the decay was biphasic. Increasing the light intensity caused a rapid initial rise to a plateau within 100 ms followed by slow growth and a monophasic decay.

Changes in certain protective reactions of an organism under the influence of SW in experimental and industrial conditions

Volkova AP, Fukalova PP · 1974

In laboratory experiments, one group of outbred white rats was exposed to 14.88 MHz short waves at 2,250 V/m for one hour, a second group at 100 V/m for four hours, and a third group served as controls. Workers at a station where field intensities exceeded permissible limits showed two-fold lower phagocytic activity and four-fold higher mouth autoflora, while workers at stations within limits had values within normal ranges.

Use of a Bacteriophage System for Investigating the Biological Effects of Low Intensity Pulsed Microwave Radiation

C. M. B. Walker, K. G. McWhirter, W. A. G. Voss · 1974

Researchers examined the effect of 2450 MHz microwave radiation pulsed at 8KHz at a power density between 1 and 10 mW cm* on bacteriophage infection of E. coli, irradiating samples for 7 minutes. They compared the number of infective centers in irradiated samples with controls across 25 experiments. A Student's t-test on the combined data gave t=0.3815 with 48 degrees of freedom, showing about a 50% probability the difference was due to chance.
