Biological systems are known to communicate by diffusing chemical signals in the surrounding medium. However, most of the recent literature has neglected the electron transfer mechanism occurring amongst living cells, and its role in…
This paper provides both theoretical and experimental evidence for the existence of an Energy/Frequency Convexity Rule, which relates energy consumption and CPU frequency on mobile devices. We monitored a typical smartphone running a…
The temperature distribution within cells, especially the debates on mitochondrial temperature, has recently attracted widespread attention. Some studies have claimed that the temperature of mitochondria can reach up to 50-53 degrees…
Gamma-ray binaries are suitable sources to study high-energy processes in jets and outflows in general. In the last years, there has been a lot of activity in the field of gamma-ray binaries to identify the different factors that shape…
During the transition from high school to on-campus college life, a student leaves home and starts facing enormous life changes, including meeting new people, more responsibilities, being away from family, and academic challenges. These…
In a previous paper we have introduced a phenomenological model of cell metabolism and of the cell cycle to simulate the behavior of large tumor cell populations (Chignola R and Milotti E, Phys. Biol. 2 (2005) 8-22). Here we describe a…
Many lives can be saved if tumors are detected in early stages, which can result in a bigger chance for recovery. Many patients find it irritating to get regular checkups due to the fact that the majority of the monitoring systems are…
The heating of solar chromospheric inter-network regions by means of the absorption of electromagnetic (EM) waves that originate from the photospheric blackbody radiation is studied in the framework of a plasma slab model. The absorption is…
This paper presents observations about power consumption of a latest smartphone. Modern smartphones are powerful devices with different choices of data connections and other functional modes. This paper provides analysis of power…
We propose a novel approach for observing cosmic rays at ultra-high energy ($>10^{18}$~eV) by repurposing the existing network of smartphones as a ground detector array. Extensive air showers generated by cosmic rays produce muons and…
The universe is filled with blackbody millimeter radiation (CMBR), temperature 2.7{\deg} Kelvin[1]. Big-bang cosmology explains this by the initial thermalization of photons scattered by electrons[2]. This explanation requires ad hoc…
As the 21st century progresses, photovoltaic technology is becoming a major provider of the worlds electricity, while effects of global climate change unfold. This development begs the question: is climate change affecting the energy…
Alfven waves created by sub-photospheric motions or by magnetic reconnection in the low solar atmosphere seem good candidates for coronal heating. However, the corona is also likely to be heated more directly by magnetic reconnection, with…
Massive, early-type stars deposit energy and momentum in the interstellar medium through dense, supersonic winds. These objects are one of the most important sources of ionising radiation and chemical enrichment in the Galaxy. The physical…
We use a new Atmospheric Chemistry and Energetics one-dimensional (ACE1D) thermospheric model to show that the energies deposited by the solar soft x-rays in the lower thermosphere at altitudes between 100 -150 km (Bailey et al. 2000),…
Cellular metabolic rate is a good indicator of the physiological state of cells and its changes, which can be measured by total heat flux accompanying metabolism. Chip calorimeters can provide label-free and high throughput measurements of…
In this article we present the biological effect of antenna topology on a users body. At different values of exposed frequency, the absorbent nature varies in human body. One of the major factors to be taken into consideration for designing…
It is shown that at low temperatures and moderate electron dephasing the electron transmission function reveales a structure containing information about donor/acceptor sites effectively participating in the electron transfer (ET) processes…
It has been reported that damage of genome in a living cell by ionizing radiation is about one-third direct and two-thirds indirect. The former which has been introduced in our last paper, concerns direct energy deposition and ionizing…
Microelectronic morphogenesis is the creation and maintenance of complex functional structures by microelectronic information within shape-changing materials. Only recently has in-built information technology begun to be used to reshape…
