We have concentrated our effort on finding and following the measurement of active points on different parts of the skin's surface, to acknowledge their existence and position through a measuring process. The human skin has a certain impedance or resistance — it can be easily described and simulated using a substitute electric circuit. But the skin also contains parts with measurably lower impedance and different electric properties — we can show them clearly by measurement of voltage chart. The parameters of the measured voltage chart are influenced by the amplitude, frequency and the shape of the measuring electric signal.","PeriodicalId":267447,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 21st International Conference Radioelektronika 2011","volume":"84 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122558747","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although we are dealing with a specific circuit and three stable states, the results presented can be generalized to the space Rn (for both n = 2 and n > 2) and multiple stable states, as well.

The development of new treatment modalities and optical imaging techniques highlights the need to understand the effect that such nanostructures produce in a biological environment and how they affect the propagation of the optical radiation in the human tissue. In this way, the use of optical models has become an indispensable tool for this purpose. In this work we present an optical model that tries to predict the effect of gold nanoparticles in the optical distribution for three different types of malignant skin tumors. The results obtained allow us to know the absorption of the optical radiation in order to compare the total energy accumulated in the target tissue when it has nanoparticles embedded and without them. Differences were observed between several types of tumors. This demonstrates the need to know not only the optical properties of the nanostructures but also the biological environment where they are incorporated.","PeriodicalId":267447,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 21st International Conference Radioelektronika 2011","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129042936","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

All three algorithms are compared on the test problem with the Pareto front, which contains both convex and non-convex parts.

We present methodology specifically intended for examination and evaluation of effects of microwave processing of biopolymers in well defined electromagnetic field. In this paper we use microwave exposure system designed to meet all the requirements for visualization of the processing [1] and we use results given by the visualization (i.e. video recording and/or captured pictures) to analyze progression and changes in the exposed samples using Matlab [2] for image processing.

The authors selected a balun consisting of a wideband equal power divider (Wilkinson type) and a 180-degree differential phase shifter. The shifter, based on log-periodic principle, consists of cells containing asymmetric striplines interconnected by offset broadside-coupled striplines.
