Experimental and computational evaluation of capacitive hyperthermia by Marcus Beck, Peter Wust, Eva Oberacker, Alexander Rattunde, Tom Päßler, Benjamin Chrzon, Paraskevi Danai Veltsista, Jacek Nadobny, Ruben Pellicer, Enrico Herz, Lukas Winter, Volker Budach, Sebastian Zschaeck, Pirus Ghadjar

“…We implemented models for electrodes and phantom setups for simulation studies using Sim4Life.Results For a standard total power of 200 W, we measured effective SAR until depths of 6–8 cm in a homogeneous phantom, which indicates fair heating conditions for tumor diseases in superficial and intermediate depths. A fat layer of 1 cm strongly weakens the SAR, but 10–20 W/kg are still achieved in intermediate to deep regions (2–10 cm). …”

An approach to dynamic visualization of heterogeneous geospatial vector images by A.V. Vorobev, G.R. Vorobeva

“…One of the well-known problems of geoinformation software libraries in the visualization of geospatial data is the low efficiency and limited frame-by-frame change of a group of spatial layers with time reference. Among the most significant challenges of visualization is that the synchronous switching of a group of spatial layers is impossible to perform, which leads to less accurate estimates of the temporal anisotropy of the corresponding spatial data. …”
