The data acquisition process begins with capturing EEG signals from 20 healthy skilled volunteers who gave their written consent before performing the experiments. Each volunteer was asked to repeat an experiment for 10 times at different frequencies; each experiment was trigger by a visual stimulus.

A wide range of wearable sensors exist on the market for continuous physiological health monitoring. The type and scope of health data that can be gathered is a function of the sensor modality. Blumio presents a dataset of synchronized data from a reference blood pressure device along with several wearable sensor types: PPG, applanation tonometry, and the Blumio millimeter-wave radar. Data collection was conducted under set protocol with subjects seated at rest. 115 study subjects were included (age range 20-67 years), resulting in over 19 hours of data acquired.

It has been suggested that the wireless network evolution to smaller carrier wavelengths (from 2G to 5G) increases radio-frequency electromagnetic field (RF-EMF) absorption in Western Honey Bees (Apis mellifera). It is unknown whether the radiation performance of antennas is stable when an insect appears in their vicinity. In this research, the absorbed power in a worker honey bee and the influence of the bee's presence on antennas' radiation performance is investigated for the newly used frequencies in 5G networks, from 6-240 GHz.

Silk fibroin is the structural fiber of the silk filament and it is usually separated from the external fibroin by a chemical process called degumming. This process consists in an alkali bath in which the silk cocoons are boiled for a determined time. It is also known that the degumming process impacts the property of the outcoming silk fibroin fibers.
