Alternating magnetic field guiding system for MNP hyperthermia treatment of deep-seated cancers by Robert V. Stigliano, Ilona Danelyan, Giga Gabriadze, Levan Shoshiashvili, Ian Baker, P. Jack Hoopes, Roman Jobava, Fridon Shubitidze

“…The 3D simulations compare the novel device to traditional AMF designs, including a MagForce-like, two-coil system (used clinically) and a single surface-coil system.Results The results demonstrate that this approach can deliver the same magnetic field strength at the prostate’s centroid as traditional AMF designs, while reducing eddy current heating by 2 to 6 times. At the same level of normal tissue heating, this method provides 5.0 times, 1.5 times, and 0.92 times the magnetic field strength to the nearest, centroid, and farthest regions of the prostate, respectively.Conclusions These results demonstrate proof-of-concept for an endoscopic magnetic field guiding and focusing system capable of delivering clinically relevant AMF from a distance. …”

Performance analysis of weighted non-coherent receiver for UWB-PPM signal in multipath channels by WU Jian-jun, LIANG Qing-lin, XIANG Hai-ge

“…The BER performance expressions and weighting coefficients of the weighted non-coherent receiver for the UWB-PPM signal were analytically derived.Subsequently,the analytical results were validated via Monte-Carlo simula-tion,and the impacts of the sub-interval width and the timing error were also numerical analyzed.It is illustrated that the weighted receiver is at least 3dB superior to the conventional non-coherent receiver,and is robust to the variations of sub-integration width and the timing error.…”
