What the analysis does not show is that this rise is caused by mobile phones. This is for a number of reasons, firstly, this paper does not attempt to link the rise in mobile phone use with a rise in brain tumor incidence directly.

When the right arm is moved it activates the indicator on the right side. This system has two forms, one which is prevention and to illuminate and the other is an alert system. This system connects to mobile phone sensors so that when there is a change in acceleration it sends those registered details that there is a change in acceleration and probably an accident and a location where the cyclist can be found. So it has two things, firstly prevention and the other is an alert system in case of an accident.

5. Lion Shahab:

This was not done here.
