Experimental methodology for non-thermal effects of electromagnetic radiation on biologics
… of saline to represent biological samples. This methodology yielded S.A.R. values of approximately 30 W kg-1(-9 dBm) and 150 W kg-1(-6.5 dBm) for 915 MHz and 320 W kg-1 (-9 dBm) and 450 W kg-1 (-6.5 dBm) for 2.45 GHz. Finally, the key system components - the transverse electromagnetic (TEM) cell, …

An intervention study to investigate development centres as an avenue to improve the self-efficacy of university graduates
… the Western Cape, South Africa (n=17). A quasi-experimental methodology was implemented where an intervention group (n=7) and a control group (n=10) were taken through a development centre approach. The primary research objective was to identify whether the generalised self-efficacy of graduates …
