Abstract

Radiofrequencies are extremely common in telecommunication sectors, in industry, in medicine and domestic applications. We carried out an observed study focusing on the punctual monitoring of the electromagnetic fields generated by mobile phones handsets or by SRB radiobase stations (transmitters), installed in Taranto and throughout the borough council. The measurement campaigns have been done by ARPA Puglia, Provincial Department of Taranto from November 2005 until March 2007, on 108 transmitting stations, of which 72 are of single installation and 36 of multiple installations, with UMTS, GSM. DCS, DVB-H kind of communication. The monitoring has been done with Wandel & Goltermann EMR-300 devices; the registered frequency is within the interval between 100 KHz and 3GHz and measures have been obtained with precise time interval of 6 minutes. In most of the monitored areas the results respected limit values; only in 2 cases on 108 the attention value has been exceeded, both within borough council area. In the town of Taranto values over 6 V/m fixed by the actual rule haven't been registered in none of the 51 monitored stations. We can, therefore, define within the limits the expositions emitted by the radiobase stations and in t...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
