A biologic+ a w y that quantifies hazardous response in living matter to an electromagnetic stimulus, is evolved. Considering the various susceptible aspects of physio-anatomical systems constituting a living subject, a dominance criterion to determine an optimum all-or-none response limit of exposure to electromagnetic pollutions is established. Based on the statistics of proneness and susceptibility of discrete physio-anatomical parts of living syetsms (biotic components) to polluting radiations (abiotic environment), the stochastic nature of damage involved is considered to formulate a quanta1 index which specifies a "safe" intensity-level of electromagnetic radiation to which living systems can be exposed without encountering any deleterious effects. The locations of vulnerable parts which are affected by radiation are identified through random mosaic modeling of a test subject. using this model, 8 suscephnce priority sequence of biotic components is constructed. This sequence is then terminated at a point of weightage proportional to the diversity of victim population. The biotic species falling within this limit of truncation are subsequently studied to assay the tolerance (optimum lethal dose) of the test subject to the radiation in question. The possibility of simulatbg the entire ecological system under consideration by means of a microprocessor is suggested.

Shallow-ablation of endometrial lining using microwaves has been traditionally indicated as a minimally invasive treatment option for dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB). Known as microwave endometrial ablation (MEA), relevant procedure is used as an alternative to hysterectomy considering its safety, simplicity and effectiveness. In lieu of the prevailing MEA techniques, it is attempted in this study to foresee the possibility of conceiving an alternative and a newer option on endometrial ablation using mm-wave/THz frequencies. Commensurate with this motivated impetus, objectively considered are merits and design issues of using electromagnetic (EM) spectrum of mm-wave/THz region toward optimal conversion of EM energy into a thermal ablative source so that, the basal layer of endometrium can be effectively destroyed in surgical contexts as necessary. Hence, the feasibility of designing appropriate TEA applicators for controlled and safe procedures so as to ablate just the unwanted tissues within a localized zone of energy field is addressed. Lastly, a quantitative analysis on the interaction of THz EM-energy versus the lossy dielectric characteristics of endometrial medium is indicated to model the underlying (THz-energy)-to-(thermal energy) transduction. Relevant prospects of conceiving TEA and the associated pros and cons are identified specific to the prospects of feasibility, requirement considerations and technical challenges.
