この論文は、社団法人die Forschungsgemeinschaft Funk (1992年から活動している研究資金提供団体)へのドイツ語の研究報告書である。2部構成であり、パート1は、原核生物を用いた実験を設計し、電磁界生物学的影響を評価した。原核生物は、物理的または化学的因子による生物学損傷を追跡するのに役立つ。その結果、3か月の合計ばく露時間でバクテリオファージ生存率を調べたが、対照群に比べ、生存率の低下は見られないなどの結果から、この微生物のDNAも感受性タンパク質電磁界による損傷を受けないという結論が導かれると報告している。パート2は、生物試料の変調無線周波放射ばく露試験に用いられるばく露システムの詳細な技術データ、並びに測定された反射および透過係数が示されている。再現性のある、実質的に均一な培地ばく露の達成を検証するために、広範な数値計算も実行された、と報告している。

研究目的(acc. to editor)

To study the effects of radiofrequency electromagnetic fields on biological material (DNA, protein, DNA-protein complexes, virus, bacterium). The study consists of a database investigation, a numerical calculation of the distribution of the field in the samples, and an experimental investigation. Here, only the experimental investigation is presented.
