To calculate and evaluate wave scattering and penetration of electromagnetic waves in different biological tissues it is necessary to use a realistic model of the human body, with all tissues resolved and separately assigned with appropriate electric/magnetic properties. We report the development of a realistic 3D whole-body human model that has been adapted for simulation in CST software, cont...

esophageal cancer is the eighth most ordinary cancer and the sixth most common cancer between the males and ninth for females in the world; its major and effective treatment is external radiotherapy. this type of cancer can be found in different areas of esophagus including cervical, upper, middle and lower esophagus. in this treatment, healthy tissues such as the trachea, spine and sternum and...

Robotic hands differ in kinematics, dynamics, programming, control and sensing frameworks. Borrowing the terminology from software engineering, there is a need for middleware solutions to control the robotic hands independently from their specific structure, and focusing only on the task. Results in neuroscience concerning the synergistic organization of the human hand, are the theoretical foun...

This short paper outlines a framework for an evaluation method that takes as an input a model of an anthropomorphic artificial hand and produces as output the set of tasks that it can perform. The framework is based on the anatomy and functionalities of the human hand and methods of implementing these functionalities in artificial systems and focuses on the evaluation of the intrinsic hardware ...
