“…There is an impressive list of references concerning the effects of electromagnetic radiation on animals and humans, including ArehartTreichel (1974) and Frey (1965) as well as the following studies. Some of these effects include changes in EEC frequency and amplitude (in rabbits) (Livanov, Tsypin, Grigor'ev, Kruschehev, Stepanov, & Anav'ev 1960, Kholodov 1963, subnormal EEC activity in a group of 120 people who had been exposed for more than one year to electromagnetic energy in the centimeter wavelengths (Edelwejn & Haduch 1962), nervous exhaustion with irritability (Sadchikova & Orlova 1958), and, in some instances, abnormal slowness of the heartbeat (Edelwejn & Haduch 1962, Sadchikova & Orlova 1958, Kevork'ian 1948, Presman 1962a, 1962b and increased incidence of reports of headache at the end of the work day along with sleep disturbance and memory change (Kt^vork'ian 1948).…”

h.nvironmcntal causes of learning and behavior problems, as contrasted with genetic or conuenital causes, are explored for the purpose of alert in n the learning disabilities professional to those conditions for which remedial measures may be taken. These emironmentul causes fall into five neneral categories: chronic anxiety, malnutrition, toxicity, allergy, and clectromaunetu radiation or technical pollution. Although remediation procedures will be different for each individual ecolo^ic cause, recognition by the learning, disabilities professional of ccoloxueffected conditions will allow for recommendation and initiation of diagnostic procedures, which in turn could remediate the specific condition. O f major concern to teachers, school administrators, and parents are those children who, for one reason or another, have difficulty with particular aspects of learning; they are said to have learning disabilities. Some of these children, hut not all. have also been found to be hyperactive, hut not all hyperactive children have learning problems; the two max be separate problems or they may overlap. There are mam known causes of learning problems and hyperactive behavior, and probabl\ just as main causes as yet undetected ( ) ! these causes, there are five classifications that involve factors in the environment of the child and thus would be1 considered ecological: anxiety, malnutrition, toxieitx, allergy, and technical pollution. This article is designed to present to the professional in learning disabilities the currently known environmental causes of learning and behavioral problems. Although there can be genetic-, traumatic, or pathologic" reasons tor these* problems, environmental reasons allow (or solutions that, in some instances, ma> be instituted by the learning disabilities professional, but in most instances may at least be recogni/ed ANXIETY Anxiety, or chronic arousal, is the result of constant pressure, either internal or external, that

“…for all practical purposes all humans emit radiation in the long-wavelength infrared region as if they were 'black bodies' " (p. 873).s Frey, commenting on Youtz's results (see below) noted that electromagnetic radiation from an observer's fingers, which are in a lightproof box with colored chips, would illuminate these chips with infrared energy. 4 Barnes reported that because people's skin is relatively transparent to light as well as radiation in the infrared range shorter than about 2 pm, the skin's pigmentation ". .…”

Nonvisual color perception: A critical review

Since the last century, there have been a number of claims that people can identify and discriminate color with their fingers. The most completely documented evidence for these claims, begining in 1963, is critically reviewed. It was the hope of the early investigators of this phenomenon that this ability would some day be useful for the blind. The best evidence suggests that people are capable of making certain temperature discriminations and that objects of different reflectances can be discriminated on this basis. The temperature exchange stems from the infrared energy emitted by the skin. Research that has presented evidence for finger color perception was often shown to have methodological problems, including learning to discriminate stimuli by texture cues and failure to adequately blindfold observers and prevent use of visual information. The present review concludes that the phenomenon of using the fingers to “see” color does not and will not, in the forseeable future, provide any additional hope for the blind.

“…For instance, the studies of Frey [1,2], Guy and Chou [3] have shown that the interaction between microwaves and dielectrics generally produces acoustic waves due to a sudden temperature rise that occurs within the irradiated area. Later on, some papers have undertaken further studies in analyzing the acoustic waves generated in solids by thermal effects from Laser impact [4,5] or by microwave irradiations [6][7][8].…”

Transverse Vibrations of Viscoelastic Bars Subjected to an Asymmetric Temperature Distribution Induced by a Microwave Source

2011

This paper studies the effects of a microwave excitation on the transverse vibrations of viscoelastic bars placed inside unconventional electromagnetic waveguides. Its purpose is to present a general approach that can be applied to analyze and to interpret the physical phenomena risen during the heating process. These phenomena were not predicted either by conventional experiments or by existing theoretical models. To measure the bar transverse deformations, an opening line and a hole have been made respectively on one of the small transverse sides of the waveguides. The comparison between the spectra of the experimental transverse velocities measured with these two waveguides has pointed out some differences. Theoretical and finite element (FE) simulations of the experiments have been firstly applied to figure out the nature of these variations. The analysis is conducted by a parameterized approach that takes into account the effects of the opening line made along the waveguide on both the propagation of the electromagnetic power density and the temperature rise distribution inside the sample. Good agreements between the models and the experimental data are demonstrated. Furthermore, the method has also shown a sudden asymmetric temperature distribution that leads to the generation of new flexural modes. These last modes are specific to the experiment used to apply the microwave induce acoustic technique.
