Heuristic Estimation of the Vacuum Energy Density of the Universe: Part II-Analysis Based on Frequency Domain Electromagnetic Radiation

In Part I of this paper, an inequality satisfied by the vacuum energy density of the universe was derived using an indirect and heuristic procedure. The derivation is based on a proposed thought experiment, according to which an electron is accelerated to a constant and relativistic speed at a distance L from a perfectly conducting plane. The charge of the electron was represented by a spherical charge distribution located within the Compton wavelength of the electron. Subsequently, the electron is incident on the perfect conductor giving rise to transition radiation. The energy associated with the transition radiation depends on the parameter L. It was shown that an inequality satisfied by the vacuum energy density will emerge when the length L is pushed to cosmological dimensions and the product of the radiated energy, and the time duration of emission is constrained by Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle. In this paper, a similar analysis is conducted with a chain of electrons oscillating sinusoidally and located above a conducting plane. In the thought experiment presented in this paper, the behavior of the energy radiated by the chain of oscillating electrons is studied in the frequency domain as a function of the length L of the chain. It is shown that when the length L is pushed to cosmological dimensions and the energy radiated within a single burst of duration of half a period of oscillation is constrained by the fact that electromagnetic energy consists of photons, an inequality satisfied by the vacuum energy density emerges as a result. The derived inequality is given by where is the vacuum energy density. This result is consistent with the measured value of the vacuum energy density, which is 5.38 × 10-10 J/m. The result obtained here is in better agreement with experimental data than the one obtained in Part I of this paper with time domain radiation.

Excitation and power spectrum analysis of electromagnetic radiation for the plasma wake of reentry vehicles

The plasma wake of reentry vehicles has the advantages of extensive space range and long traceability,which provides new possibilities for the detection and monitoring of reentry vehicles.Based on the Zakharov model,this work investigates the excitation and power spectrum characteristics of electromagnetic radiation for the plasma wake of a typical reentry vehicle.With the aid of parametric decay instability,the excitation condition of electromagnetic radiation for a typical plasma wake is evaluated first.The power spectrum characteristics of electromagnetic radiation,including the effects of both the flight parameters and incident wave parameters are analyzed in detail.The results show that when the phenomenon of excited electromagnetic radiation occurs,plasma wakes closer to the bottom of the vehicle and with faster speeds require higher incident frequencies and thresholds of the electric field.As the frequency of the incident wave increases,peaks appear in the power spectra of plasma wakes,and their magnitudes increase gradually.The frequency shifts of the secondary peaks are equal,whereas,the peaks of the downshifted spectral lines are generally larger than those of the upshifted spectral lines.The work in this paper provides a new idea and method for the tracking of reentry vehicles,which has potential application value in the field of reentry vehicle detection.

It is shown that an inequality satisfied by the vacuum energy density will emerge when the length L is pushed to cosmological dimensions and the product of the radiated energy and the time duration of emission are constrained by Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle. The inequality derived is given by ρΛ ≤ 9.9×10-9J/m3 where ρΛ is the vacuum energy density. This result is consistent with the measured value of the vacuum energy density, which is 0.538 × 10-9J/m. Since there is a direct relationship between the vacuum energy density and the Einstein’s cosmological constant, the inequality can be converted directly to that of the cosmological constant.

Electromagnetic radiation early warning criterion of rock burst based on statistical theory

Rock bursts are serious natural disasters encountered worldwide in coal mining and rock engineering.In order to forecast rock bursts more effectively,a new rock burst forecasting index E,consisting of intensity and the number of pulses,is proposed,on the basis of abnormal characteristic symptoms of electromagnetic radiation(EMR) generated before rock bursts,combined with statistical theory.The index is distributed as a χ2 distribution with 2 degrees of freedom,i.e.,E～χ 2(2).Via this index,a quantitative comprehensive forecasting criterion of EMR was initially established.E values were calculated when the occurrence probability of the occurrence of a rock burst was 50%,70% and 90%.Appropriate measures should be taken when using these values on the scene.Using EMR data collected in the Nanshan Mine of the Hegang mining area,we verified that the analytical result were consistent with actual situations.This index is of theoretical importance and as a reference for forecasting rock bursts in coal mines.

Cable coupling response in metal cavity under X-ray irradiation

This study investigates the coupling response of cables inside a metal cavity under X-ray irradiation using the finite-difference time-domain method,particle simulation method,and transmission-line equation to solve the electromagnetic field inside the cavity and load voltage at the cable terminal under X-ray excitation.The results show that under a strong ionizing radiation environment of 1 J/cm^(2),a strong electromagnetic environment is generated inside the cavity.The cable shielding layer terminal couples a voltage of 15.32 V,whereas the core wire terminal couples a voltage of 0.31 V.Under strong X-ray irradiation,the metal cavity not only fails to provide electromagnetic shielding,but also introduces new electromagnetic interference.This study also provides a method for reducing the number of emitted electrons by adding low-Z materials,which can effectively reduce the coupled electric field and voltage.

Damage evolution law of coal-rock under uniaxial compression based on the electromagnetic radiation characteristics

Based on electromagnetic radiation characteristics, the present research studied the damage evolution of rock under uniaxial compression. Besides, this research built the coal-rock damage evolution model considered residual strength. The applicability and accuracy of the model were verified through experiments. The results show that coal-rock damage evolution consists of four periods. The first period is from the beginning of compression to nearly 20% of the stress peak value, during which the damage variable changes stably about 0.1, and accordingly a few of electromagnetic radiation signals emerge. The second period is from about 20% to 70% of the stress peak value. The damage has stable development, and the parameter of electromagnetic radiation characteristics turns larger continuously with the increase of stress. The third period is when the damage has accelerated development, the coal-rock was broken which result from sharp increasing of the damage variable, meanwhile a great quantity of electromagnetic radiation signals emerge. The fourth period is after the coal-rock fracture, during which the damage variable corresponding to the parameter of electromagnetic radiation characteristics has a stable development. This research has great academic and realistic significance for further studies the electromagnetic radiation characteristics of coal-rock under loading and damage and the forecasting of coal-rock dynamic disasters.

Electromagnetic radiation anomalies before moderate and strong earthquakes

Electromagnetic radiation observations have been developed since the 1976 Tangshan earthquake.Up to now,130 observatories have been set up in China.The present observation frequency ranges are ultra-low frequency 0.01-20 Hz and point frequency from 103 to 104 Hz.In the past 20 years,more than 40 earthquakes above M5.0 were recorded.By analyzing the earthquake examples,it is demonstrated that the distances between the anomalies recorded at observatories and the event were related with earthquake magnitude;the lasting time of anomalies are from several seconds to several ten days;during most of these events no electromagnetic radiation were observed simultaneously.In addition,the detail features of the electromagnetic radiation anomalies were discussed in this paper.

The influence of rock mechanical properties on the electromagnetic radiation(EMR)mechanism of rock fracturing is an important research topic in solid mechanics and earthquake prediction.In this study,an EMR model of rock fracturing considering the fracture factor,elastic modulus,Poisson’s ratio,radiation distance and crack length is derived based on the Hertz oscillator array assumption.An experimental system,including an electromagnetic shielding module,an EMR signal induction and transmission module,a signal recording module and a loading module,is developed to understand the EMR characteristics of four different rocks.The validity of the EMR theoretical model is verified and the relationships between the rock cracking morphology and the EMR waveform,amplitude and frequency are revealed.It is found that rock mechanical properties have obvious influences on the EMR waveform,amplitude and frequency during rock fracturing.This study provides a better understanding on the EMR mechanism of rock fracturing and can help to improve the accuracy of rock disaster prediction based on EMR.

Correlation of electromagnetic radiation emitted from coal or rock to supporting resistance

More accurate forecasting of rock burst might be possible from observations of electromagnetic radiation emitted in the mine.We analyzed experimental observations and field data from the Muchengjian coal mine to study the relationship between electromagnetic radiation signal intensity and stress during the fracturing of coal, or rock, and samples under load.The results show that the signal intensity is positively correlated with stress.In addition, we investigated the change in the electromagnetic radiation intensity, the supporting resistance in a real coal mine environment, and the coal or rock stress in the mining area.The data analysis indicates that:1) electromagnetic radiation intensity can accurately reflect the distribution of stress in the mining area;and, 2) there is a correlation between electromagnetic radiation intensity and supporting resistance.The research has some practical guiding significance for rock burst forecasting and for the prevention of accidents in coal mines.

C-glycosyl flavonoid orientin alleviates learning and memory impairment by radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation in mice via improving antioxidant defence mechanism

Objective: To investigate the antioxidant efficacy of oral orientin on 900 MHz radiofrequencyelectromagnetic radiation-induced oxidative stress in mice.Methods: The mice were randomly allotted into 5 groups consisting of 7 mice each. The deionised water and radiofrequency electromagnetic radiations(RF-EMR) groups were administered with deionised water while orientin was administered to the RF-EMR + low dose of orientin group(10 mg/kg), RF-EMR + high dose of orientin group(20 mg/kg) and high dose of orientin group(20 mg/kg). All the groups except deionised water and high dose groups were exposed to 900 MHz radiofrequency-electromagnetic radiation for 28 consecutive days(1 h/day). Learning and memory was assessed via the step-down inhibitory avoidance task. Activities of lipid prexidation and antioxidant enzymes were measured using kits.Results: Radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation caused impairment in learning and memory and reduced activities of brain antioxidant enzymes, increased lipoperoxidation and corticosterone concentration as well as histopathological aberrations in the hippocampal tissues. Conversely, orientin alleviated learning and memory deficit, improved the activities of endogenous antioxidant enzymes and mitigated brain lipoperoxidation and neuronal degeneration in mice exposed to radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation. Conclusions: Orientin alleviates learning and memory impairment due to radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation in mice by improving antioxidant defence mechanism and may be considered as a promising therapeutic agent for improving the antioxidant system of people living in radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation-prone environment.

Measurements of Characteristics of Electromagnetic Radiation Caused by Electrostatic Discharges in Metal Sphere Gap at Voltages Less than 1 kV

In this study,the characteristics of Electromagnetic(EM) radiation caused by Electrostatic Discharges(ESDs) from metal spheres charged to voltages less than 1 kV are examined experimentally.Our experimental system consists of a pair of spherical electrodes of different diameters,a 1-18 GHz-bandwidth horn antenna and a 20-GHz-bandwidth digitizing oscilloscope.Polarization,waveform duration and peaks of antenna-received voltages from the EM field radiation are measured in order to clarify the EM radiation mechanism.The ratio of the received voltages between the antenna arrangements of the field polarization parallel and perpendicular to the spark pass is 18 to 20 dB.The polarities of the antenna-received voltages are the same as those of the charge voltages across the gap.Moreover,the waveform duration and the first peaks increase with an increase in the diameters of the spherical electrodes.Consequently,we find that the polarization,waveform duration and first peaks of the EM field radiation can be explained by a dipole antenna structure,which makes the spark part of the spherical electrodes a feeding point on the straight line passing through the centres of the two spheres.

Preliminary Report on the Indoor Electromagnetic Radiation in a Municipality of Western P.R. China: Up-to-Now Still within the Range

Objective: This study is designed to measure the current level of Indoor Electromagnetic Radiation (IER) in Chongqing, a municipality of western P.R. China, on which further epidemiological investigation on the relation between the level of IER and certain health effects could be based. Methods: 118 Households in 4 urban residential districts in Chongqing were randomly selected. The IER intensity was measured in each household’s living room at different frequencies under three different conditions. Results: The average electric field intensity measured at the frequency range of 1 MHz- 40 GHz was within the guidelines set by the International Commission on Non Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). The electromagnetic field intensity measured at other frequencies were at the lowest range of the acceptable values. The average electric field intensity at the frequency range of 5 Hz - 1 kHz was higher at a standing posture than at a sitting posture with domestic appliances turned off in both cases (P < 0.01). Conclusion: The indoor electromagnetic radiation in Chongqing currently is still within the recommended public exposure limit set by ICNIRP.

Integrating electromagnetic surface and antenna array for reflection suppression and excellent radiation

The electromagnetic surface antenna array(EMSAA)has been proposed for obtaining reflection suppression and excellent radiation simultaneously.The antenna with rectangular radiation patch is used to design anisotropic electromagnetic surface.Preternatural reflection characteristics of the element antenna can be tailored depending on the incident polarizations.EMSAA can be constructed by using single structured element antenna with 90° rotation and orthometric arrangement.This orthometric arrangement of EMSAA is helpful to achieve reflection suppression and excellent radiation.The simulated results show that the reflection of EMSAA is suppressed from 5.0 GHz to 8.0 GHz with peak reduction of 12.3 dB.The linear-and circular-polarized radiation properties of EMSAA are obtained and the maximum gain is 14.3 dBi.The measured results are consistent with the simulation results.The results demonstrate that the reflection suppression and excellent radiation are achieved simultaneously.Such design of EMSAA will open the path for integrating antenna fields and electromagnetic surface(EMS)fields.

Removal of noises from electromagnetic radiation of coal or rock with EEMD-adaptive morphological filter

The electromagnetic radiation （EMR） signal collected by monitoring system during coal or rock dynamic disaster may be interferred easily by electromagnetic noises in mines. The noises have a direct influence on the recognition and analysis of the EMR signal features during the disaster. With the aim of removing these noises, an ensemble empirical mode decomposition （EEMD） adaptive morphological filter was proposed. From the result of the simulation and the experiment, it is shown that the method can restrain the random noise and white Gaussian noise mixed with EMR signal effectively. The filter is highly useful for improving the robustness of the coal or rock dynamic disaster monitoring system.

KELEA, Cosmic Rays, Cloud Formation and Electromagnetic Radiation: Electropollution as a Possible Explanation for Climate Change

The basic premise of this article is that human generated electromagnetic radiation is contributing to global warming. It may do so by diverting an energy force termed KELEA (kinetic energy limiting electrostatic attraction) from its presumed association with cosmic rays. Cosmic ray delivered KELEA is viewed as normally participating in the formation of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN). It may do so by transforming electrostatically inert particles into electrostatic aerosols capable of acting as CCN. The resulting clouds act as a reflective barrier to some of the infrared radiation from the sun and, thereby, reduce the earth’s heat. This article proposes that increasing levels of electromagnetic radiation in the atmosphere is reducing the capacity of cosmic rays to deliver adequate KELEA to maintain climate stability through optimal cloud formation. Specifically, the fluctuating electrical fields accompanying electromagnetic radiation may do so by competitively withdrawing some of the KELEA from the incoming cosmic rays. Previously described studies by Dr. Wilhelm Reich attributed to an energy force termed orgone, are consistent with weather activity being inducible using a device that likely delivers KELEA to the atmosphere. In addition to the foregoing consideration, there are many agricultural and industrial applications of KELEA activated fluids that can reduce carbon emissions. It is important that the scope of climate science be broadened to include a detailed understanding of KELEA and of its many potential practical applications in addressing global warming.
