This book was released on 1985 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is currently an increasing interest in the study of the dielectric and electrical properties of biological materials, and of the ways in which tissues interact with electromagnetic fields. The seven invited contributions presented here provide excellent examples of some of the important studies in this field of scientific endeavor. The papers provide information in reference to: Forces on Biological Particles in Electric Fields; Volume and Shape Changes of Human Erythocytes Induced by Electrical Fields; Dielectric Spectroscopy and Membrane Organization; Dielectric Properties of Frozen Biological Material; The Biomolecular Effects of Electromagnetic Radiation. Classical or Quantum Physics?; Dielectric Properties of Biomacromolecules; Some Aspects of Relevance to Biological Systems; and Complex Permittivity Differences between Normal and Pathological Tissues; Mechanisms and Medical Significance. Original articles in this volume include: Potential Difference across the Nuclear Membrane: A Regulator of Gene Expression; Partial Amnesia for a Narrative Following Application of Theta Frequency Electromagnetic Fields; Mechanisms and Physiologic Significance of Microwave Action on the Auditory System; Behavioral Studies with Electromagnetic Fields: Implication for Psychobiology; A Graphic Comparison between the Current-Voltage Curves of an Electrochemical Generator and Living Unstressed Rabbit Tibia; Nucleic Acid and Protein Synthesis in Cultured Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) Cells Exposed to the Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields.
