ANALYSIS OF HEATING CHARACTISTICS OF ANIMALS EXPOSED TO MICROWAVES

Abstract--- The whole body for differing animals like rat, dog, Rabbit were exposed at different microwave field intensities. At increasing body temperatures in these animals, cooling reaches a maximum limit, and beyond this undergoes a failure presumably primarily due to a central failure of the respiratory mechanism. Also metabolism is increased under these conditions, partly because of specific temperature dependence, and partly because of an increased respiratory effort. The data presented in tables at the lower rates the three animal species were roughly the same. At higher temperatures, a change is observed with a few of rats and rabbits whereas with the dogs actually retained to the abscissa where body temperature was maintained at the elevated level above the metabolism. Index Terms--- animals, microwave field intensities, cooling I
