Vortex pinning vs superconducting wire network: origin of periodic oscillations induced by applied magnetic fields in superconducting films with arrays of nanomagnets

Hybrid magnetic arrays embedded in superconducting films are ideal systems to study the competition between different physical (such as the coherence length) and structural length scales such as are available in artificially produced structures. This interplay leads to oscillation in many magnetically dependent superconducting properties such as the critical currents, resistivity and magnetization. These effects are generally analyzed using two distinct models based on vortex pinning or wire network. In this work, we show that for magnetic dot arrays, as opposed to antidot (i.e. holes) arrays, vortex pinning is the main mechanism for field induced oscillations in resistance R(H), critical current Ic(H), magnetization M(H) and ac-susceptibility χ ac(H) in a broad temperature range. Due to the coherence length divergence at Tc, a crossover to wire network behaviour is experimentally found. While pinning occurs in a wide temperature range up to Tc, wire network behaviour is only present in a very narrow temperature window close to Tc. In this temperature interval, contributions from both mechanisms are operational but can be experimentally distinguished.

The radiation impedance of electrodynamics tethers in a polar Jovian orbit

Juno, the second mission in the NASA New Frontiers Program, will both be a polar Jovian orbiter, and use solar arrays for power, moving away from previous use of radioisotope power systems (RPSs) in spite of the weak solar light reaching Jupiter. The power generation at Jupiter is critical, and a conductive tether could be an alternative source of power. A current-carrying tether orbiting in a magnetized ionosphere/plasmasphere will radiate waves. A magnitude of interest for both power generation and signal emission is the wave impedance. Jupiter has the strongest magnetic field in the Solar Planetary System and its plasma density is low everywhere. This leads to an electron plasma frequency smaller than the electron cyclotron frequency, and a high Alfven velocity. Unlike the low Earth orbit (LEO) case, the electron skin depth and the characteristic size of plasma contactors affect the Alfven impedance.

Quantum communications in optical networks

La posibilidad de utilizar sistemas cuánticos para procesar y transmitir información ha impulsado la aparición de tecnologías de información cuántica, p. ej., distribución cuántica de claves. Aunque prometedoras, su uso fuera del laboratorio es actualmente demasiado costoso y complicado. En este trabajo mostramos como utilizarlas en redes ópticas de telecomunicaciones. Al utilizar una infraestructura existente y pervasiva, y compartirla con otras señales, tanto clásicas como cuánticas, el coste se reduce drásticamente y llega a un mayor público. Comenzamos integrando señales cuánticas en los tipos más utilizados de redes ópticas pasivas, por su simplicidad y alcance a usuarios finales. Luego ampliamos este estudio, proponiendo un diseño de red óptica metropolitana basado en la división en longitud de onda para multiplexar y direccionar las señales. Verificamos su funcionamiento con un prototipo. Posteriormente, estudiamos la distribución de pares de fotones entrelazados entre los usuarios de dicha red con el objetivo de abarcar más tecnologías. Para ampliar la capacidad de usuarios, rediseñamos la red troncal, cambiando tanto la topología como la tecnología utilizada en los nodos. El resultado es una red metropolitana cuántica que escala a cualquier cantidad de usuarios, a costa de una mayor complejidad y coste. Finalmente, tratamos el problema de la limitación en distancia. La solución propuesta está basada en codificación de red y permite, mediante el uso de varios caminos y nodos, modular la cantidad de información que tiene cada nodo, y así, la confianza depositada en él. ABSTRACT The potential use of quantum systems to process and transmit information has impulsed the emergence of quantum information technologies such as quantum key distribution. Despite looking promising, their use out of the laboratory is limited since they are a very delicate technology due to the need of working at the single quantum level. In this work we show how to use them in optical telecommunication networks. Using an existing infrastructure and sharing it with other signals, both quantum and conventional, reduces dramatically the cost and allows to reach a large group of users. In this work, we will first integrate quantum signals in the most common passive optical networks, for their simplicity and reach to final users. Then, we extend this study by proposing a quantum metropolitan optical network based on wavelength-division multiplexing and wavelengthaddressing, verifying its operation mode in a testbed. Later, we study the distribution of entangled photon-pairs between the users of the network with the objective of covering as much different technologies as possible. We further explore other network architectures, changing the topology and the technology used at the nodes. The resulting network scales better at the cost of a more complex and expensive infrastructure. Finally, we tackle the distance limitation problem of quantum communications. The solution offered is based on networkcoding and allows, using multiple paths and nodes, to modulate the information leaked to each node, and thus, the degree of trust placed in them.

Induction of through-thickness compressive residual stress fields in thin Al2024-T351 plates by laser shock processing

Laser Shock Processing (LSP) has been demonstrated as an emerging technique for the induction of RS’s fields in subsurface layers of relatively thick specimens. However, the LSP treatment of relatively thin specimens brings, as an additional consequence, the possible bending in a process of laser shock forming. This effect poses a new class of problems regarding the attainment of specified RS’s depth profiles in the mentioned type of sheets, and, what can be more critical, an overall deformation of the treated component. The analysis of the problem of LSP treatment for induction of tentatively through-thickness RS’s fields for fatigue life enhancement in relatively thin sheets in a way compatible with reduced overall workpiece deformation due to spring-back self-equilibration is envisaged in this paper. The coupled theoretical-experimental predictive approach developed by the authors has been applied to the specification of LSP treatments for achievement of RS's fields tentatively able to retard crack propagation on normalized specimens. A convergence between numerical code results and experimental results coming from direct RS's measurement is presented as a first step for the treatment of the normalized specimens under optimized conditions and verification of the crack retardation properties virtually induced.

Macroscopic motion and gravitation in thermodynamics

A series of examples rarely presented to students is discussed to illustrate a property of thermodynamic equilibrium: small parts of a fully isolated system move as if points of a rigid body, so as to minimize the macroscopic (kinetic) energy EM. Most examples lie in the fields of astronomy and astrophysics, EM then including the gravitational energy. The paradoxical behaviour of gravitation, in particular in the extreme case of black holes,is discussed.

The role of spatial and temporal radiation deposition in inertial fusion chambers: the case of HiPER¿

The first wall armour for the reactor chamber of HiPER will have to face short energy pulses of 5 to 20 MJ mostly in the form of x-rays and charged particles at a repetition rate of 5–10 Hz. Armour material and chamber dimensions have to be chosen to avoid/minimize damage to the chamber, ensuring the proper functioning of the facility during its planned lifetime. The maximum energy fluence that the armour can withstand without risk of failure, is determined by temporal and spatial deposition of the radiation energy inside the material. In this paper, simulations on the thermal effect of the radiation–armour interaction are carried out with an increasing definition of the temporal and spatial deposition of energy to prove their influence on the final results. These calculations will lead us to present the first values of the thermo-mechanical behaviour of the tungsten armour designed for the HiPER project under a shock ignition target of 48 MJ. The results will show that only the crossing of the plasticity limit in the first few micrometres might be a threat after thousands of shots for the survivability of the armour.

Influence of termal fluctuations in radiation damage cascade production and defect dynamics in tungsten

The detailed study of the deterioration suffered by the materials of the components of a nuclear facility, in particular those forming part of the reactor core, is a topic of great interest which importance derives in large technological and economic implications. Since changes in the atomic-structural properties of relevant components pose a risk to the smooth operation with clear consequences for security and life of the plant, controlling these factors is essential in any development of engineering design and implementation. In recent times, tungsten has been proposed as a structural material based on its good resistance to radiation, but still needs to be done an extensive study on the influence of temperature on the behavior of this material under radiation damage. This work aims to contribute in this regard. Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations were carried out to determine the influence of temperature fluctuations on radiation damage production and evolution in Tungsten. We have particularly focused our study in the dynamics of defect creation, recombination, and diffusion properties. PKA energies were sampled in a range from 5 to 50 KeV. Three different temperature scenarios were analyzed, from very low temperatures (0-200K), up to high temperature conditions (300-500 K). We studied the creation of defects, vacancies and interstitials, recombination rates, diffusion properties, cluster formation, their size and evolution. Simulations were performed using Lammps and the Zhou EAM potential for W

Quantization of the universe as a black hole.

It has been shown that black holes can be quantized by using Bohr’s idea of quantizing the motion of an electron inside the atom. We apply these ideas to the universe as a whole. This approach reinforces the suggestion that it may be a way to unify gravity with quantum theory.

Current in coherent quantum systems connected to mesoscopic Fermi reservoirs

We study particle current in a recently proposed model for coherent quantum transport. In this model, a system connected to mesoscopic Fermi reservoirs (meso-reservoir) is driven out of equilibrium by the action of super-reservoirs thermalized to prescribed temperatures and chemical potentials by a simple dissipative mechanism described by the Lindblad equation. We compare exact (numerical) results with theoretical expectations based on the Landauer formula.

Crop row detection in maize fields inspired on the human visual perception

This paper proposes a new method, oriented to image real-time processing, for identifying crop rows in maize fields in the images. The vision system is designed to be installed onboard a mobile agricultural vehicle, that is, submitted to gyros, vibrations, and undesired movements. The images are captured under image perspective, being affected by the above undesired effects. The image processing consists of two main processes: image segmentation and crop row detection. The first one applies a threshold to separate green plants or pixels (crops and weeds) from the rest (soil, stones, and others). It is based on a fuzzy clustering process, which allows obtaining the threshold to be applied during the normal operation process. The crop row detection applies a method based on image perspective projection that searches for maximum accumulation of segmented green pixels along straight alignments. They determine the expected crop lines in the images. The method is robust enough to work under the above-mentioned undesired effects. It is favorably compared against the well-tested Hough transformation for line detection.

Towards cost reduction in concentrating solar power: innovative design for an efficient fresnel based solar field

Energía termosolar (de concentración) es uno de los nombres que hacen referencia en español al término inglés “concentrating solar power”. Se trata de una tecnología basada en la captura de la potencia térmica de la radiación solar, de forma que permita alcanzar temperaturas capaces de alimentar un ciclo termodinámico convencional (o avanzado); el futuro de esta tecnología depende principalmente de su capacidad para concentrar la radiación solar de manera eficiente y económica. La presente tesis está orientada hacia la resolución de ciertos problemas importantes relacionados con este objetivo. La mencionada necesidad de reducir costes en la concentración de radiación solar directa, asegurando el objetivo termodinámico de calentar un fluido hasta una determinada temperatura, es de vital importancia. Los colectores lineales Fresnel han sido identificados en la literatura científica como una tecnología con gran potencial para alcanzar esta reducción de costes. Dicha tecnología ha sido seleccionada por numerosas razones, entre las que destacan su gran libertad de diseño y su actual estado inmaduro. Con el objetivo de responder a este desafío se desarrollado un detallado estudio de las propiedades ópticas de los colectores lineales Fresnel, para lo cual se han utilizado métodos analíticos y numéricos de manera combinada. En primer lugar, se han usado unos modelos para la predicción de la localización y la irradiación normal directa del sol junto a unas relaciones analíticas desarrolladas para estudiar el efecto de múltiples variables de diseño en la energía incidente sobre los espejos. Del mismo modo, se han obtenido analíticamente los errores debidos al llamado “off-axis aberration”, a la apertura de los rayos reflejados en los espejos y a las sombras y bloqueos entre espejos. Esto ha permitido la comparación de diferentes formas de espejo –planos, circulares o parabólicos–, así como el diseño preliminar de la localización y anchura de los espejos y receptor sin necesidad de costosos métodos numéricos. En segundo lugar, se ha desarrollado un modelo de trazado de rayos de Monte Carlo con el objetivo de comprobar la validez del estudio analítico, pero sobre todo porque este no es preciso en el estudio de la reflexión en espejos. El código desarrollado está específicamente ideado para colectores lineales Fresnel, lo que ha permitido la reducción del tiempo de cálculo en varios órdenes de magnitud en comparación con un programa comercial más general. Esto justifica el desarrollo de un nuevo código en lugar de la compra de una licencia de otro programa. El modelo ha sido usado primeramente para comparar la intensidad de flujo térmico y rendimiento de colectores Fresnel, con y sin reflector secundario, con los colectores cilíndrico parabólicos. Finalmente, la conjunción de los resultados obtenidos en el estudio analítico con el programa numérico ha sido usada para optimizar el campo solar para diferentes orientaciones –Norte-Sur y Este-Oeste–, diferentes localizaciones –Almería y Aswan–, diferentes inclinaciones hacia el Trópico –desde 0 deg hasta 32 deg– y diferentes mínimos de intensidad del flujo en el centro del receptor –10 kW/m2 y 25 kW/m2–. La presente tesis ha conducido a importantes descubrimientos que deben ser considerados a la hora de diseñar un campo solar Fresnel. En primer lugar, los espejos utilizados no deben ser plano, sino cilíndricos o parabólicos, ya que los espejos curvos implican mayores concentraciones y rendimiento. Por otro lado, se ha llegado a la conclusión de que la orientación Este-Oeste es más propicia para localizaciones con altas latitudes, como Almería, mientras que en zonas más cercanas a los trópicos como Aswan los campos Norte-Sur conducen a mayores rendimientos. Es de destacar que la orientación Este-Oeste requiere aproximadamente la mitad de espejos que los campos Norte-Sur, puediendo estar inclinados hacia los Trópicos para mejorar el rendimiento, y que alcanzan parecidos valores de intensidad térmica en el receptor todos los días a mediodía. Sin embargo, los campos con orientación Norte-Sur permiten un flujo más constante a lo largo de un día. Por último, ha sido demostrado que el uso de diseños pre-optimizados analíticamente, con anchura de espejos y espaciado entre espejos variables a lo ancho del campo, pueden implicar aumentos de la energía generada por metro cuadrado de espejos de hasta el 6%. El rendimiento óptico anual de los colectores cilíndrico parabólicos es 23 % mayor que el rendimiento de los campos Fresnel en Almería, mientras que la diferencia es de solo 9 % en Aswan. Ello implica que, para alcanzar el mismo precio de electricidad que la tecnología de referencia, la reducción de costes de instalación por metro cuadrado de espejo debe estar entre el 10 % y el 25 %, y que los colectores lineales Fresnel tienen más posibilidades de ser desarrollados en zonas de bajas latitudes. Como consecuencia de los estudios desarrollados en esta tesis se ha patentado un sistema de almacenamiento que tiene en cuenta la variación del flujo térmico en el receptor a lo largo del día, especialmente para campos con orientación Este-Oeste. Este invento permitiría el aprovechamiento de la energía incidente durante más parte del año, aumentando de manera apreciable los rendimientos óptico y térmico. Abstract Concentrating solar power is the common name of a technology based on capturing the thermal power of solar radiation, in a suitable way to reach temperatures able to activate a conventional (or advanced) thermodynamic cycle to generate electricity; this quest mainly depends on our ability to concentrate solar radiation in a cheap and efficient way. The present thesis is focused to highlight and help solving some of the important issues related to this problem. The need of reducing costs in concentrating the direct solar radiation, but without jeopardizing the thermodynamic objective of heating a fluid up to the required temperature, is of prime importance. Linear Fresnel collectors have been identified in the scientific literature as a technology with high potential to reach this cost reduction. This technology has been selected because of a number of reasons, particularly the degrees of freedom of this type of concentrating configuration and its current immature state. In order to respond to this challenge, a very detailed exercise has been carried out on the optical properties of linear Fresnel collectors. This has been done combining analytic and numerical methods. First, the effect of the design variables on the ratio of energy impinging onto the reflecting surface has been studied using analytically developed equations, together with models that predict the location and direct normal irradiance of the sun at any moment. Similarly, errors due to off-axis aberration, to the aperture of the reflected energy beam and to shading and blocking effects have been obtained analytically. This has allowed the comparison of different shapes of mirrors –flat, cylindrical or parabolic–, as well as a preliminary optimization of the location and width of mirrors and receiver with no need of time-consuming numerical models. Second, in order to prove the validity of the analytic results, but also due to the fact that the study of the reflection process is not precise enough when using analytic equations, a Monte Carlo Ray Trace model has been developed. The developed code is designed specifically for linear Fresnel collectors, which has reduced the computing time by several orders of magnitude compared to a wider commercial software. This justifies the development of the new code. The model has been first used to compare radiation flux intensities and efficiencies of linear Fresnel collectors, both multitube receiver and secondary reflector receiver technologies, with parabolic trough collectors. Finally, the results obtained in the analytic study together with the numeric model have used in order to optimize the solar field for different orientations –North-South and East-West–, different locations –Almería and Aswan–, different tilts of the field towards the Tropic –from 0 deg to 32 deg– and different flux intensity minimum requirements –10 kW/m2 and 25 kW/m2. This thesis work has led to several important findings that should be considered in the design of Fresnel solar fields. First, flat mirrors should not be used in any case, as cylindrical and parabolic mirrors lead to higher flux intensities and efficiencies. Second, it has been concluded that, in locations relatively far from the Tropics such as Almería, East-West embodiments are more efficient, while in Aswan North- South orientation leads to a higher annual efficiency. It must be noted that East-West oriented solar fields require approximately half the number of mirrors than NS oriented fields, can be tilted towards the Equator in order to increase the efficiency and attain similar values of flux intensity at the receiver every day at midday. On the other hand, in NS embodiments the flux intensity is more even during each single day. Finally, it has been proved that the use of analytic designs with variable shift between mirrors and variable width of mirrors across the field can lead to improvements in the electricity generated per reflecting surface square meter up to 6%. The annual optical efficiency of parabolic troughs has been found to be 23% higher than the efficiency of Fresnel fields in Almería, but it is only around 9% higher in Aswan. This implies that, in order to attain the same levelized cost of electricity than parabolic troughs, the required reduction of installation costs per mirror square meter is in the range of 10-25%. Also, it is concluded that linear Fresnel collectors are more suitable for low latitude areas. As a consequence of the studies carried out in this thesis, an innovative storage system has been patented. This system takes into account the variation of the flux intensity along the day, especially for East-West oriented solar fields. As a result, the invention would allow to exploit the impinging radiation along longer time every day, increasing appreciably the optical and thermal efficiencies.

Calidad ambiental electromagnética : atenuación de las radiaciones electromagnéticas en los espacios habitados

La perspectiva del arquitecto en calidad ambiental, y salud en un contexto sostenible, se amplía al considerar las radiaciones electromagnéticas no ionizantes en el diseño arquitectónico. En ese sentido, además del confort higrotérmico, acústico, lumínico y de la calidad del aire, se podría considerar el confort electromagnético de un lugar. Dado que existe gran controversia en cuales han de ser los límites de exposición a radiaciones electromagnéticas no ionizantes, establezco como punto de referencia los valores límite más restrictivos, que son los recomendados por la norma SBM-2008, desarrollada por el Institut für Baubiologie & Oekologie Neubeuern (IBN)1. Se plantean como hipótesis que podemos modificar el entorno electromagnético con materiales de construcción y geometría; y que determinados trazados geométricos tienen la capacidad de reducir el impacto de los campos electromagnéticos sobre los organismos vivos. El objetivo consiste en demostrar experimentalmente que podemos trabajar sobre la calidad ambiental electromagnética de un espacio, a través de la elección de materiales de construcción y trazados geométricos, intentando demostrar que existe una relación causa - efecto entre ambos. La metodología plantea tres aproximaciones experimentales, cada una con un tipo de radiación electromagnética, pues se pretende abarcar las situaciones que comúnmente se pueden presentar en un entorno habitado, ya sea urbano o rural. La primera aproximación trata sobre las alteraciones del campo geomagnético natural (nT / m) provocadas por los materiales de construcción. Utilizo el geomagnetómetro BPM 2010, para realizar un ensayo con cuatro tipos de materiales de distinta procedencia: origen vegetal muy poco procesado (corcho aglomerado negro) y más procesado (OSB), origen derivado del petróleo (tablero rígido de poliuretano) y de origen mineral metálico (chapa minionda). De la lectura de los datos se observa relación causa-efecto entre los materiales de construcción estudiados y las modificaciones que pueden ejercer sobre el campo magnético de un lugar. A continuación se estudia el entorno de radiación electromagnética artificial a baja frecuencia (3 Hz a 3 kHz) y a alta frecuencia, (800 MHz a 10 GHz) en vivienda y en oficina utilizando unas geometrías concretas: las tarjetas de corrección de radiaciones. Estas tarjetas se ubican en paramentos verticales y horizontales de un espacio sometido a radiación propia de un entorno urbano. Se concluye que en una habitación inciden múltiples variables simultáneas muy difíciles de trabajar por separado y que aparentemente no se pueden identificar cambios significativos en las mediciones con y sin las tarjetas de corrección de radiaciones. A continuación estudio el entorno de radiación electromagnética artificial a baja frecuencia asociada a la red de distribución eléctrica. Para poder ver cómo este entorno electromagnético lo podemos modificar, utilizo las tarjetas de corrección de radiaciones ubicadas en relación directa con organismos vivos, por un lado germinados de semillas de haba mungo sometidas a campos electromagnéticos complejos a alta y baja frecuencia, propios de una oficina; y por otro lado germinados de semillas de haba mungo, sometidas a campos electromagnéticos puros a 50 Hz, sin influencias de radiación a alta frecuencia. Se concluye que se observa relación causa - efecto entre los trazados geométricos estudiados y su capacidad para reducir el impacto de los campos electromagnéticos a altas y bajas frecuencias sobre las semillas de haba mungo. También utilizo las tarjetas de corrección de radiaciones en un ensayo normalizado en el laboratorio de bioelectromagnetismo del Hospital Universitario Ramón y Cajal, con células de neuroblastoma humano. Se concluye que se observa relación causa - efecto entre los trazados geométricos estudiados y su capacidad para reducir el impacto de los campos electromagnéticos de 50 Hz Y 100 μT sobre células de neuroblastoma humano y además disminuyen la velocidad de proliferación celular respecto del grupo de células de control. Finalmente se estudia el entorno de radiación electromagnética artificial a alta frecuencia, asociado a comunicaciones inalámbricas. Para ello realizo simulaciones con el software CST Studio, sobre las tarjetas de corrección de radiaciones a alta frecuencia. A la luz de los datos se observa relación causa - efecto entre el trazado geométrico estudiado y su capacidad para reducir radiaciones electromagnéticas de alta frecuencia. Se comprueba además que, las tarjetas de corrección de radiaciones disminuyen la intensidad de la radiación acercándose a los límites de exposición establecidos por el instituto de la biología de la construcción alemán, que podrían estar señalando los estándares de biocompatibilidad. ABSTRACT The perspective of the architect in environmental quality, and health in a sustainable context is extended to consider non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation in architectural design. In that sense, besides the hygrothermal, acoustic, lighting and air quality comfort, the electromagnetic comfort of an indoor space could be considered. There is still great controversy about which should be the limits of exposure to nonionizing electromagnetic radiation, as a benchmark, the more restrictive limits are considered, by the SBM- 2008 standard, developed by the Institut für Baubiologie & Oekologie Neubeuern (IBN). The hypotheses that arise are the following: the electromagnetic environment can be modified by using certain construction materials and geometry; and certain geometric design have the ability to reduce the impact of electromagnetic fields on living organisms. The aim is to demonstrate experimentally that we can work on electromagnetic environmental quality of a indoor space, by using certain construction materials and geometric design, trying to demonstrate a cause - effect relationship between them. The methodology raises three experimental approaches, each with a type of radiation, it is intend to cover situations commonly may occur in an inhabited environment, whether urban or rural. The first approach discusses the alteration of the natural magnetic field (nT / m) caused by the building materials. Geomagnetometre BPM 2010 is used for conducting a test with four types of materials from different sources: vegetable origin less processing (black agglomerate cork) and vegetable origin more processed (OSB), petroleum origin (rigid polyurethane board) and metallic origin (miniwave plate). It is observed across the data information that exist cause-effect relationship between the construction materials studied and the modifications that they can exercise on the magnetic field of a place. Then I study the environment of artificial electromagnetic radiation at low frequency (3 Hz to 3 kHz) and high frequency (800 MHz to 10 GHz) in housing and office, using some specific geometries: correcting radiation cards. These cards are placed in vertical and horizontal surfaces of an indoor space concerned by radiation. I conclude that an indoor space is affected by multiple simultaneous variables difficult to work separately and apparently it is not possible identify significant changes in measurements with and without correcting radiation cards. Then the artificial electromagnetic environment of low-frequency radiation associated with the electricity distribution network is studied. To see how the electromagnetic environment can be changed, correcting radiation cards are placed directly related to living organisms. On one hand, mung bean seeds subject to complex electromagnetic fields at low and high frequency, typical of an office; and on the other hand mung bean seeds, subjected to pure electromagnetic fields at 50 Hz, no influenced by high frequency radiation. It is observed that exist cause-effect relationship between the geometric design and their ability to reduce the impact of electromagnetic fields at high and low frequencies that arrives on on mung bean seeds. The correcting radiation cards were also used in a standard test in the bioelectromagnetics laboratory of Ramón y Cajal University Hospital, on human neuroblastoma cells. It is observed that exist cause-effect relationship between the geometric design and their ability to reduce the impact of electromagnetic fields at 50 Hz and 100 μT on human neuroblastoma cells and also decrease the rate of cell proliferation compared to the group of cells control. Finally the artificial electromagnetic radiation environment at high frequency associated with wireless communications was studied. Simulations with CST Study software were made to determine the behavior of correcting radiation cards in high-frequency. It is observed across the data information that exist causeeffect relationship between the geometric design and the ability to reduce the levels of high-frequency electromagnetic radiation. It also checks that radiation correcting cards decrease the intensity of radiation approaching exposure limits established by Institut für Baubiologie & Oekologie Neubeuern (IBN), which could be signaling biocompatibility standards.
