Bacterial cultures were exposed to magnetic field intensities ranging from 2 to 16 mT at 50 Hz for 8 h. Exposure to both SMF and OMF caused intensity-dependent decreases in optical density, indicating growth inhibition. In parallel, nitric oxide and superoxide anion radical levels, as well as the activities of catalase and superoxide dismutase, increased significantly in a field-strength–dependent manner. Glutathione disulfide levels were enhanced while reduced glutathione values decreased, reflecting a redox imbalance. Moreover, malondialdehyde and DNA fragmentation levels were markedly elevated, confirming oxidative and genotoxic stress. Comparative analysis revealed that <i>E. coli</i> exhibited more pronounced responses than <i>S. aureus</i>, with significant effects emerging above approximately 6–8 mT for OMF and 8–10 mT for SMF exposure. Overall, these findings demonstrate that both OMF and SMF can induce oxidative stress and DNA damage in bacterial cells, with OMF producing stronger effects.

This research aims to expand the frequency dataset to better elucidate the roles of thermal and non-thermal effects in radio frequency (RF)-induced viral inactivation. These experiments were performed in a waveguide containing a flowing aerosol stream and were limited to a single RF waveform: ∼2 μs square envelope, 4.0 GHz, 4.8 kHz repetition rate. Aerosol streams were exposed to RF electric field amplitudes in the range of 41.5 ± 5.2 kV/m. Under laminar flow conditions, 80% of the total collected aerosol stream spends 1.0 s or less in the RF exposure region. Analysis via TCID<sub>50</sub> assays revealed no statistically significant reduction in virus survival compared to controls, nor significant changes in data variance or standard deviation. Results align with prior observations that higher frequencies (~7–8 GHz) produce more pronounced inactivation effects, while lower frequencies exhibit reduced efficacy.

Contrary to the expectation that simple precautionary messages lead to higher risk perception and lower trust compared to basic messages, this was only the case for general conditional risk perception assuming that no precautions are taken, but not for affective risk perception, trust, or general conditional risk perception assuming that precautions are taken. Notably, providing a more elaborate explanation of the precaution/prevention distinction did not decrease risk perception or increase trust compared to giving simple precautionary information only, and even increased risk perception compared to basic information. This suggests limited benefit in emphasizing this conceptual nuance of precaution. Considering other variables, precautionary information increased feelings of self-efficacy and perception of message consistency. The findings reveal significant country differences: Greek participants reported higher perceived risks and lower trust than German participants. Gender differences also emerged, with women expressing higher risk perception and less trust than men. In contrast to the previous literature, the results suggest that precautionary information concerning personal mobile phone use can be communicated without leading to higher public concern about RF-EMF exposure from mobile communications.

However, traditional pathology reports can take several weeks or even months to be processed. To expedite diagnosis, this study employs microwave measurement techniques to distinguish between healthy and cancerous colon tissue samples. The free-space measurement method is selected due to its suitability for evaluating sensitive pathological tissues. Measurements are conducted across 201 points within the 18–26 GHz frequency range, capturing the scattering parameters of various tissue types. Based on these measurements, four distinct datasets are created, incorporating features such as reflection coefficients, transmission coefficients, and frequency values. Three widely used classification algorithms—<i>k</i>-nearest neighbors (KNNs), artificial neural networks (ANNs), and Support Vector Machines (SVMs)—are evaluated for their performance on these datasets.
