Is cellphone radiation real? Should you be worried?

Cellphone Radiation: Truth or Myth? We see this question all the time: is cellphone radiation real? Should I be worried?

As your Android expert, we felt we should help set the record straight. A Quick Summary Authoritative organizations all over the world like the World Health Organization and the American Cancer Society, agree that cellphone use possibly exposes humans to radiation that can cause cancer, but the research results are not absolutely clear and there is room for debate. What Do We Know?

Cellphones do emit radiation, but specifically low-energy electromagnetic radiation, from their antennas. Radios and television are also in this range. This is different from high-energy electromagnetic radiation, like X-rays, which IS known to cause cancer.

This antenna for recent models of Samsung phones are located at the base of the device, for example, and the human body can absorb this energy if close to the antenna. What Don’t We Know? Research has confirmed that high-energy electromagnetic radiation causes cancer.

However, since high-energy electromagnetic radiation is different from low-energy electromagnetic radiation, which is what cellphones emit, what health effects it has on the human body is not very well understood.

Are you the one who keeps wondering how to measure the proficiency of your coding skills? NPTEL, ACM India & Google bring to you the ultimate coding test that will help you improve your performance.  NPTEL, ACM India, and google have planned to conduct National Programming Aptitude Test (NPAT) on 13 August 2017. The students can sign up from July 9, 2017, to August 13, 2017, up to 10.45 AM. After signing in the student can learn and practice programming in c,c++ and Java.  The scores will be shared with potential employers who can use this pool to recruit . The link for registration is. https://npat.nptel.ac.in . This whole initiative is free of cost.   NPAT is a Programming Test so you will have to write a full program or sometimes just a function. Some questions could also have incomplete code that you have to complete to get the proper result. You do not need to know all 3 languages for NPAT. The test has to be answered in ONLY ONE programming language. ...

MATLAB Program For Time Delaying And Time Advancement Operations On Signals

A signal is a physical quantity that varies with time, space or any other independent variable by which information can be conveyed. A discrete-time signal is often identified as a sequence of numbers, denoted by x[n], where n is an integer. Signals are broadly classified into continuous and discrete signals. A continuous signal will be denoted by x(t), in which the variable t can represent any physical quantity. A discrete signal will be denoted by x[n], in which the variable n is integer value. The variables t and n are assumed to represent time.  Operations on Signals: a. Time Shifting        In this operation each sample of x(n) is shifted by an amount k to obtain a shifted sequence y(n) Y(n) = {x(n-k)}        If we let m=n-k, then n=m+k and the above operation is given by Y(m+k) = {x(m)}   b.Time Delay: The system has a general form of y[n]= x[n - b], where ‘b’ is any positive integer. Letus take an exam...

The variables t and n are assumed to represent time. Operations on Signals: a. Signal addition  It is implemented in MATLAB by the arithmetic operator “+”. However, the lengths of x1(n) and x2(n) must be the same. y(n) = x1(n) + x2(n) b. Signal multiplication It is implemented in MATLAB by the array operator “*”. To multiply sequences of different lengths we can use the following function y(n) = x1(n) * x2(n) Program: clc; close all ; clear all...
