In this study, the effects of GSM 1800 band radiation on composition, structure and bioactivity of exopolysaccharides (EPSs) produced by Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus were determined. For this, GSM 1800 band radiation was applied to both cultures and characteristics of EPSs extracted from the control groups (K) and the radiation stressed groups (R) were determined. An alteration in the chemical composition of the EPSs was observed and EPS production levels and molecular weights of the EPSs increased following the GSM 1800 band radiation application. Alterations in the functional groups, thermal and morphological characteristics of EPSs following the GSM 1800 band radiation application were confirmed by FTIR, TGA and SEM analysis, respectively. Importantly no alterations in the antioxidant and antibacterial activity of the EPSs were observed following the radiation application. These results suggested the effects of the GSM radiation on final characteristics of EPSs from yogurt starter cultures.

In this study, the impact of mobile phone radiation on blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability was investigated. A total of 21 New Zealand rabbits were used for the experiments, divided into three groups, each consisting of 7 rabbits. One group served as the control, while the other two were exposed to electromagnetic radiation at frequencies of 1800 MHz with a distance of 14.

Purpose: To evaluate the effects of 1800 MHz continuous wave (CW) and global system for mobile communications (GSM) modulated radiofrequency electromagnetic field (RFEMF) exposures on signal transduction (ST) protein and cytokine expression in differentiated human-derived monocytic THP-1 cells.
Materials And Methods: THP-1 cells were differentiated into adherent macrophage-like cells using phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). Following differentiation, cells were exposed to 1800 MHz CW or GSM modulated RFEMF for 0.

This paper presents a novel nano-structure of radio frequency (RF) to direct current (DC) converter for the energy control unit in the biosensor. It is based on the Graëtz Bridge supplied with three-phase power (DP3). This circuit can be considered as the result of the proper combination of a common anode assembly and a common cathode assembly.

We introduce a novel ultra-low power system for tracking animal movements over long periods with an unprecedented high-temporal-resolution. The localization principle is based on the detection of cellular base stations using a miniaturized software-defined radio, weighing 2.0 g, including the battery, and having a size equivalent to two stacked 1-euro cent coins.

A rapid outdoor sampling technique was tested to measure human exposure to radio frequencies in a city of 96,000 inhabitants. The technique consisted of taking measurements with a personal exposure meter inside a moving vehicle. Tests were carried out to quantify the alteration produced by the vehicle's structure and obtain correction factors in order to minimize this alteration.
