Effects of 2.45 GHz radiofrequency upon Leuconostoc mesenteroides Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase enzymatic activity

In this report we evaluate the effect in the enzyme activity of Glucose 6-phosphate Dehydrogenase from Leuconostoc mesenteroides by irradiation with 2.45 GHz radiofrequency at a power output of 0.1 W during a 91 h period. The results show that the RF irradiation preserves the activity of treated samples of this enzyme with respect to a non-treated sample that instead suffer an increased rate of activity loss. Our estimates indicate that the enzyme activation is due to a non-thermal effect. The results are consistent with reports about the effect of 2.45 GHz radiation upon other enzymatic systems.

Critical Analysis of Electronic Simulation of Financial Market Fluctuations

An interesting analog circuit for simulating a signal with fluctuations having a probability density function with a power tail has recently been proposed and constructed. The exponent of the power law can be fixed by tuning an appropriate circuit element. The proposal is to use the circuit as a simulator-generator of financial market fluctuations and as a tool for risk estimations and forecasts. We present a discussion of the stability conditions for multiplicative noise and an exhaustive analysis of the power law fluctuation generator in connection with the electronic components and their parameters. From our studies one can conclude that the proposal is not adequate to provide a confident experimental scheme to follow the fluctuations of the financial market due to both electronic implementation and to difficulties in parameter tuning.
