We invite you to join us for this incredible opportunity to expand your technical horizons while enjoying great food and networking! We are thrilled to welcome our guest speaker, Prof. Frank Barnes who will share insights and expertise on Effects of Weak Radio Wave and Magnetic Fields on Biological Systems. Whether you are a professional, recent graduate, or student passionate about technology, this dine and learn offers an evening of learning, dining, and meaningful connections with fellow IEEE members. Talk Abstract: In this talk we will provide a short review of some of the history on the setting safety standards for the exposures to electromagnetic fields at both low frequencies and radio frequencies. This will be followed up with brief review of some of the physics and chemistry that enable biological systems to sense very weak fields and to use them as communications and controls systems to change the growth rates of cancer cells and bacteria. We will also show that growing cancer cells and bacteria emit very weak radio waves. The talk finishes with a review of few papers showing detrimental biological effects well below current safety guidelines and some positive therapeutic applications. Speaker Bio: Dr. Frank Barnes. Professor Emeritus Electrical Computer and Energy Engineering University of Colorado Boulder He and his students have worked on large verity of subjects since 1959 ranging from maser and lasers, semiconductor devices through energy storage systems, telecommunication and effects of electromagnetic fields on biological systems. Since 2014, he and his students have largely concentrated on trying to understand how weak magnetic and radio frequency fields modify the growth rates of cancer cells and bacteria building up from the quantum mechanics nuclear pairs in large biological models through changes in chemical reaction rates to changes in the biology, and possible health effects. Dr. Frank Barnes received his B.S. from Princeton University in electrical engineering in 1954, his M.S. Engineer and PhD from Stanford University in 1955, 1956, and 1958. He joined the University of Colorado in 1959. He was appointed a Distinguished Professor in 1997. He was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 2001 and received the Gordon Prize 2004 for innovations in Engineering Education from the National Academy. He is a fellow of IEEE, AAAS, and served as Vice President of IEEE for publication and as Chairman of the Electron Device Society and President of the Bioelectromagnetics Society, and as U.S. Chair of Commission K-International Union of Radio Sciences (URSI). He and his students have built lasers, flash lamps, super conductors, avalanche photo diodes and other electron devices. Recently they have been studying the effects weak magnetic field on radical concentrations and changes in the growth rate of cancers and other cells.

Abstract: Entangled photons possess nonclassical correlations that can be harnessed for imaging. In contrast to conventional optical imaging, quantum imaging based on coincidence detection of entangled photons demonstrated super-resolution beyond the classical diffraction limit. We will present both experimental imaging results and the underlying theoretical framework that explains these advantages. Because photons originate from atoms and molecules, our work also examines atomic physics at the interface between classical and quantum formalisms. We show that the Bloch equation, traditionally regarded as a classical equation of motion, can be reformulated to yield the quantum von Neumann and Schrödinger equations. This correspondence reveals a classical origin for the standard quantum spin equations and clarifies the relationship between the two descriptions. We have further developed a theory that models the multistage Stern–Gerlach experiment envisioned by Heisenberg and Einstein and conducted by Frische and Segre, with improved accuracy compared to existing treatments. More recently, we performed quantum measurements of atomic beam splitting under extremely low magnetic field gradients. Conventional Stern–Gerlach experiments rely on strong gradients to spatially resolve the split beams. In contrast, we use optical spectroscopy to resolve spatially overlapping atomic distributions that would otherwise appear inseparable, thereby enabling low-field quantum measurements. While conventional theoretical models agree with experiments at high magnetic fields, they exhibit noticeable discrepancies as the magnetic field gradient approaches zero. Our theory remains consistent with experimental observations across the entire field range. A key outcome of this work is an estimate of the electron spin collapse time, expressed in dimensionless units of Larmor precession cycles. For the three-stage Stern–Gerlach configuration, our validation constitutes a retrospective agreement with historical data. In the single-stage configuration, the test is prospective. The theoretical framework was fixed before the low-field experimental data were acquired, ensuring that no post hoc adjustments to the theory were introduced.

This Workshop is intended for electricians, engineers, designers, project managers, and contractors because it will describe and discuss the following information: - · The National Electrical Code (NEC) requires electrical systems to be effectively grounded. - · However, effective grounding is poorly understood, even by engineers, because soils are not understood and a soil resistance test is seldom performed. - · Soil types such as loam, sand, gravel, rocky soil, shallow soil over bedrock, and bare rock each require different approaches to achieve an effective electrical grounding - · Particular attention will be given to methods for designing effective grounding in poor soils and on rock. - · Soil resistance which is measured with 3-point resistance testing will be explained and demonstrated by - - - - - · There are 7 NEC approved methods of grounding electrodes, with concrete encased electrodes being the best, and 3 types of electrodes forbidden. - · Lightning protection grounding practices are very similar to electrical grounding but do have some differences in requirements and practices. - · Lightning protection grounding requirements and practices are presented in National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standard 780 while the NEC is NFPA 70E. However, grounding on bare rock such as a mountain top requires some unusual practices. During this presentation, questions are encouraged and may even be required. Attendees will be sent a certificate for 7 Professional Development Hours (PDH) after the session.
