The document discusses electromagnetic field (EMF) measurements of various mobile phones and wireless devices. It finds that EMF levels vary depending on the device and distance from the body, with some mobile phones measuring over 1800 mW/m2 when in contact. While low-level EMF exposure is not clearly linked to health issues, concerns have been raised about possible long-term effects of cumulative radiation exposure from numerous wireless sources. More research is still needed to fully understand health impacts.

Wireless routers – as well as Bluetooth and similar wireless systems – give off electromagnetic radiation in the low-igahertz frequency.This level is considered potentially dangerous to people. And the danger is
compounded by several factors:
Just like the wireless signals themselves, the EMFs can pass through walls.
Most routers are not turned off at night, so you are exposed 24/7.
You are not only exposed to EMFs from your own router. Did you ever search for a wireless signal and see not only your wireless network, but also your neighbor’s and the one from the business down the street? All of them emit EMFs.
Scientists and researchers are uncovering the health risks of EMFs. Depending on the level and the length of exposure,
Those risks can range from insomnia and headaches to tumors.

Biological Effects of Cell Tower Radiation - Neha Kumar
Presentation at Bombay Telephone User’s Association ( BTUA ), Mumbai on Jan 2010 - Consumer Awareness and Radiation Health Hazards from cell phones and mobile towers - Myth or Reality
Several health effects have been reported from Cell Tower radiation much below the radiation norms adopted by most countries.
Common problems that occur among below living near and below cell towers are Sleep Disturbance, concentration problem, memory loss, heart palpitations, etc. The radiations can also aggravate / lead to Alzheimer's and Parkin's disease.
Children are more prone to these radiations as their skulls are thinner and still developing. Studies by Dr. Om Gandhi show that radiation penetration in the head of an adult while using a mobile phone is 25%, in a 10 year old it is 50% and in a 5-year old it is 75%. Also pregnant women and older people are more susceptible to radiations.
All these health effects have been observed at levels much below the ICNIRP and FCC guidelines adopted by many countries.
Similar health effects have been observed in people in Germany, Israel, Sweden, Spain, UK, France etc.
Also lots of cancer cases have been reported among people living within 300 to 400 meter distance from the tower.
In a country like India where the population is very dense, achieving this is very difficult, hence it all the more calls for lower radiation norms.
At the end some case studies have been reported. These are only a few examples. The damage which has already occurred to the human race including environment, plants, animals, birds bees etc is phenomenal.
According to Australian Health Research Institute, if this trend continues, by 2020 - "2 Billion People will suffer from cell phone cancer". Even if 1% comes true, it will have devastating consequences to so many of us!!
All this calls for immediate need to adopt strict and lower radiation norms.

Conference Paper Presentation- 'Biological effects of Cell Tower Radiation' - presented by me and Prof Girish Kumar at International Symposium on Microwave and Optical Technology (ISMOT 2009).
Cell Tower radiation has become of extreme concern as we are exposed to them 24x7 and one cannot do much if the tower antenna is mounted right on top of your home/school/office building etc. In India, currently (2009) there are about 3.75 lakh cell towers installed and the numbers are expected to rise to 4.25 lakh towers by 2010. Radiation level measurements were carried out at various locations and the levels were found to be far above the recommended values. Common complains like Sleep disruption, Headache, Depression, Concentration, Memory loss, behavior, discomfort, irritability, nausea, dizziness, appetite loss, muscle spasms, numbness, tingling, altered reflexes,seizures, paralysis, psychosis, stroke- all related to changes in the electrical activity of the brain have been on a rise. Similarly increased cases of Alzheimer’s , Parkinson's disease,infertility, child leukemia, brain tumor cases have been associated with the continuously emitting cell tower radiation. On reviewing several epidemiological and experimental studies on harmful effects of Cell Tower Radiation on health of human and animals, we recommend safe radiation levels up to 50 μW/m2 , with a upper limit as 100 μW/m2. Towards the end, details of "Radiation Shield" -instrument designed to absorb radiation between frequency 800 to 4000 MHz have been given.

Empirical studies on the effect of electromagnetic radiation from multiple so...IJICTJOURNAL
Just after the invention of electricity by Michael Faraday, there has been a revolution in the communication technology, which lead to the invention of radio, television, radar, satellite, and mobile. While these machines transformed our life high quality, safer and simpler, they have been associated with alarming probable health hazards owing to their electromagnetic radiation (EMR) emission. Couple of cases it has been reported by personals regarding various health related issues relating to exposure on electromagnetic field (EMF) and EMR. Although couple of persons showed light symptoms and respond by avoiding the electrical field (EF) and EMR fields as much as possible, some others are so much affected that they have changed their entire lifestyle. In this paper, empirical survey study has been carried out in the laboratories of Daffodil International University (DIU) main and permanent campus. It was found that some of the instrument had higher EMFs. The findings from this survey may be helpful for the students to take precautionary measurement who work for long duration in the various laboratories for their practical classes and for the users of the domestic appliances as well as office equipment and industrial instruments.
Survey of emf emitted by lab equipments in pharmacy labs of southeast univers...eSAT Journals
Abstract The aim of this survey is to investigate whether the Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) emitted by various lab equipments affects the students. There is a standard threshold value recommended by WHO for both electric and magnetic fields. Electro-Magnetic Fields commonly known as Non Ionizing Radiation is emitted from high power transmission lines, computer monitor/video display unit, radio waves of different frequencies (extremely low frequency to microwaves), telecommunication, satellite, radar etc. which causes health hazards to living system and environment. The WHO/ International Agency for Research in Cancer (IARC) has classified radio frequency electromagnetic field as possibly carcinogenic to humans. There has been no such study performed in Bangladesh. The data were collected from various labs of department of pharmacy at Southeast University in Dhaka, Bangladesh. These labs are Pharmaceutical, Cosmetology and Biopharmaceutical Lab, Pharmacology Lab, Organic Pharmacy and Pharmacognosy Lab, Inorganic Pharmacy Lab and Microbiology Research Lab. Both threshold values of Electric and Magnetic fields were measured for various electronic equipments. Also the maximum value of the magnetic field results showed that in many cases the magnetic field radiated from the different sources are greater than the threshold limit which are the main point of our findings. As a result of the long time efforts of world scientist community WHO formed ICNIRP in 1969. Key Words: EMF, NIR, DNA, EMC, AML and ICNIRP
This aim of this paper is to investigate the specific absorption rate (SAR) distribution in a human head by
using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) calculations, due to exposure to EMF radiation from a
mobile phone at frequencies 900 MHz Mobile Phone model with a λ/2 monopole antenna and a hand head
phone model dimensions are 100 mm x 50 mm x 20 mm. The head model used is a sphere with a diameter
of 18 cm. The FDTD grid size used in the computation was 2.5 mm. The distance between the antenna and
head was 5 mm. To simplify the FDTD simulation, the SAR in the head was calculated without the effect of
the human body. It was found that the SAR induced in the head decreases with the distance from the
radiating source.
Safety limits have been set by the European Union for the protection of workers and the general public against the effects of mobile phones and other electromagnetic fields. Are these safety limits adequate in the light of recent scientific evidence?

EWER: “ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVE EXPOSURE REDUCTION” SERVICE FOR SENSITIVE USERS W...IJCNCJournal
Nowadays, with the rapid development of science and technology and the ever-increasing demand in every field, wireless sensor networks are emerging as a necessary scientific achievement to meet the demand of human in modern society. The wireless sensor network (WSN) is designed to help us not lose too much energy, workforce, avoid danger and they bring high efficiency to work. Various routing protocols are being used to increase the energy efficiency of the network, with two distinct types of protocols, homogenous and heterogeneous. In these two protocols, the SEP (Stable Election Protocol) is one of the most effective heterogeneous protocols which increase the stability of the network. In this paper, we propose an approaching the εFCM algorithm in clustering the SEP protocol which makes the WSN network more energy efficient. The simulation results showed that the SEP-εFCM proposed protocol performed better than the conventional SEP protocol

Architecture of the human regulatory network derived from encode dataAnax Fotopoulos
Transcription factors bind in a combinatorial fashion to specify the on-and-off states of genes; the ensemble of
these binding events forms a regulatory network, constituting the wiring diagram for a cell. To examine the
principles of the human transcriptional regulatory network, we determined the genomic binding information of
119 transcription-related factors in over 450 distinct experiments. We found the combinatorial, co-association of
transcription factors to be highly context specific: distinct combinations of factors bind at specific genomic locations.
In particular, there are significant differences in the binding proximal and distal to genes. We organized all the
transcription factor binding into a hierarchy and integrated it with other genomic information (for example,
microRNA regulation), forming a dense meta-network. Factors at different levels have different properties; for
instance, top-level transcription factors more strongly influence expression and middle-level ones co-regulate
targets to mitigate information-flow bottlenecks. Moreover, these co-regulations give rise to many enriched
network motifs (for example, noise-buffering feed-forward loops). Finally, more connected network components
are under stronger selection and exhibit a greater degree of allele-specific activity (that is, differential binding to the
two parental alleles). The regulatory information obtained in this study will be crucial for interpreting personal genome
sequences and understanding basic principles of human biology and disease.
The RET proto-oncogene encodes a receptor tyrosine kinase for members of the glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor family of extracellular signalling molecules. RET loss of function mutations are associated with the development of Hirschsprung's disease, while gain of function mutations are associated with the development of various types of human cancer, including medullary thyroid carcinoma, multiple endocrine neoplasias type 2A and 2B, pheochromocytoma and parathyroid hyperplasia.
RET is an abbreviation for "rearranged during transfection", as the DNA sequence of this gene was originally found to be rearranged within a 3T3 fibroblast cell line following its transfection with DNA taken from human lymphoma cells. The human gene RET is localized to chromosome 10 (10q11.2) and contains 21 exons.
The natural alternative splicing of the RET gene results in the production of 3 different isoforms of the protein RET. RET51, RET43 and RET9 contain 51, 43 and 9 amino acids in their C-terminal tail respectively. The biological roles of isoforms RET51 and RET9 are the most well studied in-vivo as these are the most common isoforms in which RET occurs.
Common to each isoform is a domain structure. Each protein is divided into three domains: an N-terminal extracellular domain with four cadherin-like repeats and a cysteine-rich region, a hydrophobic transmembrane domain and a cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase domain, which is split by an insertion of 27 amino acids. Within the cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase domain, there are 16 tyrosines (Tyrs) in RET9 and 18 in RET51. Tyr1090 and Tyr1096 are present only in the RET51 isoform.
The extracellular domain of RET contains nine N-glycosylation sites. The fully glycosylated RET protein is reported to have a molecular weight of 170 kDa although it is not clear to which isoform this molecular weight relates.
From Smart Homes to Smart Cities: An approach based on Internet-of-ThingsAnax Fotopoulos
Several applications and services have been developed over the latest years for making houses smarter in terms of danger prevention, energy consumption, waste recycling, environmental monitoring and other life improvement implementations. Internet-of-Things (IoT) gave numerous possibilities decentralizing the control of smart homes. Numerous sensors and developed systems or services can all communicate via smart devices like smartphones. A continuously broaden interest arises from local and national authorities for the benefits of applying IoT strategies in whole cities. With main focus on energy and water consumption, cities can reduce significantly their costs and become environmentally and economically sustainable. In the transition from smart homes to smart cities serious challenges should be take into consideration including a human-centric approach and the beneficiary involvement of the citizens for local and national authorities. The design of an IoT strategy for smart cities is a multifaceted procedure which includes the study of economic, urban, demographic and geographical indicators. In this paper, empirical evidence from selected case studies are presented.
The social aspect of Smart Wearable Systems in the era of Internet-of-ThingsAnax Fotopoulos
Social networking (Web 2.0) changed the way of interaction and communication of humans-to-humans, companies-to-customers, universities-to-students and state-to-citizens. The movement from static web pages (Web 1.0) to social networking and the rapid growth of smart devices created a new need for more complex data-on-demand across multiple platforms and devices. Cloud computing, miniaturization of sensors and low energy wireless technologies offered adequate possibilities to measure and understand environmental, health, industrial and other indicators, delivered in smart devices or in the web. The skyrocketing proliferation of the bidirectional communication between sensors and smart devices created a new series of products bringing us to the era of Internet-of-Things (IoT). The ubiquitous computing (presumed as Web 3.0) states that computing will appear in any device and in any location. Smart Wearable Systems (SWS) constitute the latest effort of academia and industry to toward this direction, aiming to enhance the communication and the velocity between IoT applications, smart devices (smartphones, tablets & smart TVs) and social networks. In this paper an analysis over social aspects of SWS is performed. Recent reports show that IoT market will be bigger than the total market of smart devices and PCs combined, enlarging the overall interest.
Introduction to HMMER - A biosequence analysis tool with Hidden Markov Models Anax Fotopoulos
HMMER is used for searching sequence databases for homologs of protein sequences, and for making protein sequence alignments. It implements methods using probabilistic models called profile hidden Markov models (profile HMMs).
Compared to BLAST, FASTA, and other sequence alignment and database search tools based on older scoring methodology, HMMER aims to be significantly more accurate and more able to detect remote homologs because of the strength of its underlying mathematical models. In the past, this strength came at significant computational expense, but in the new HMMER3 project, HMMER is now essentially as fast as BLAST.
As part of this evolution in the HMMER software, we are committed to making the software available to as many scientists as possible. Earlier releases of HMMER were restricted to command line use. To make the software more accessible to the wide scientific community, we now provide servers that allow sequence searches to be performed interactively via the Web.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

2. Abstract
Scientists, doctors and some European
governments are adding their voices to
the growing alarm that the universal use
of mobile devices may be the start of a
medical catastrophe for the future.
Mobile phone radiation and health
concerns have been raised, especially
following the enormous increase in the
use of wireless mobile telephony (GSM
and 3G) throughout the world.

3. Abstract
These concerns have induced a large body
of research because mobile phones and
wireless devices use electromagnetic waves
in the microwave range. A similar situation
exists regarding other digital wireless
systems, such as data communication
networks, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, DECT phones
and CB's which emit in various regions of the
spectrum giving rise to cumulative radiation
exposure. In the present study we measure
the EMF of various mobile and wireless
equipment.

8. THE HEALTH EFFECTS
TEI of Piraeus
International Scientific Conference eRA-5 8
9. Key points
A wide range of environmental influences
causes biological effects. 'Biological effect'
does not equal 'health hazard'. Special
research is needed to identify and measure
health hazards.
At low frequencies, external electric and
magnetic fields induce small circulating
currents within the body. In virtually all ordinary
environments, the levels of induced currents
inside the body are too small to produce
obvious effects.
The main effect of radiofrequency
electromagnetic fields is heating of body
tissues.
TEI of Piraeus
International Scientific Conference eRA-5 9
10. Key points
There is no doubt that short-term exposure to
very high levels of electromagnetic fields can
be harmful to health. Current public concern
focuses on possible long-term health effects
caused by exposure to electromagnetic fields
at levels below those required to trigger acute
biological responses.
There is no evidence to conclude that
exposure to low level electromagnetic fields is
harmful to human health.
The focus of international research is the
investigation of possible links between cancer
and electromagnetic fields, at power line and
radiofrequencies
TEI of Piraeus
International Scientific Conference eRA-5 10
11. What happens when you are exposed
to electromagnetic fields?
Exposure to electromagnetic fields is not a
new phenomenon. However, during the 20th
century, environmental exposure to man-made
electromagnetic fields has been steadily
increasing as growing electricity demand,
ever-advancing technologies and changes in
social behavior have created more and more
artificial sources. Everyone is exposed to a
complex mix of weak electric and magnetic
fields, both at home and at work, from the
generation and transmission of electricity,
domestic appliances and industrial equipment,
to telecommunications and broadcasting.
TEI of Piraeus
International Scientific Conference eRA-5 11
12. What happens when you are exposed
to electromagnetic fields?
Tiny electrical currents exist in the human
body due to the chemical reactions that
occur as part of the normal bodily
functions, even in the absence of external
electric fields. For example, nerves relay
signals by transmitting electric impulses.
Most biochemical reactions from digestion
to brain activities go along with the
rearrangement of charged particles. Even
the heart is electrically active - an activity
that your doctor can trace with the help of
an electrocardiogram.
TEI of Piraeus
International Scientific Conference eRA-5 12
13. The effect of Low-frequency
electric fields
Fields influence the human body just as
they influence any other material made
up of charged particles. When electric
fields act on conductive materials, they
influence the distribution of electric
charges at their surface. They cause
current to flow through the body to the
ground.
TEI of Piraeus
International Scientific Conference eRA-5 13
14. The effect of Low-frequency
electric fields
Low-frequency magnetic fields induce
circulating currents within the human
body. The strength of these currents
depends on the intensity of the outside
magnetic field. If sufficiently large, these
currents could cause stimulation of
nerves and muscles or affect other
biological processes
TEI of Piraeus
International Scientific Conference eRA-5 14
15. Electromagnetic fields and
cancer
Despite many studies, the evidence for
any effect remains highly controversial.
However, it is clear that if
electromagnetic fields do have an effect
on cancer, then any increase in risk will
be extremely small. The results to date
contain many inconsistencies, but no
large increases in risk have been found
for any cancer in children or adults.
TEI of Piraeus
International Scientific Conference eRA-5 15
16. What is a health hazard?
The body does not possess adequate
compensation mechanisms for all
biological effects. Changes that are
irreversible and stress the system for
long periods of time may constitute a
health hazard
TEI of Piraeus
International Scientific Conference eRA-5 16
17. Effects on general health
Some members of the public have attributed a
diffuse collection of symptoms to low levels of
exposure to electromagnetic fields at home.
Reported symptoms include headaches,
anxiety, suicide and depression, nausea,
fatigue and loss of libido. To date, scientific
evidence does not support a link between
these symptoms and exposure to
electromagnetic fields. At least some of these
health problems may be caused by noise or
other factors in the environment, or by anxiety
related to the presence of new technologies.
TEI of Piraeus
International Scientific Conference eRA-5 17
18. Widespread concerns for health
Over the course of the past decade,
numerous electromagnetic field sources
have become the focus of health
concerns, including power lines,
microwave ovens, computer and TV
screens, security devices, radars and
most recently mobile phones and their
base stations.

25. Conclusions from scientific
research
In the area of biological effects and medical
applications of non-ionizing radiation approximately
25,000 articles have been published over the past 30
years. Despite the feeling of some people that more
research needs to be done, scientific knowledge in
this area is now more extensive than for most
chemicals. Based on a recent in-depth review of the
scientific literature, the WHO concluded that current
evidence does not confirm the existence of any
health consequences from exposure to low level
electromagnetic fields. However, some gaps in
knowledge about biological effects exist and need
further research.
