Design of Dermis Impedance Electrode with Finite Element Model

F. Ben-Amara [1], S. Gharbi [1],
[1] CEA Grenoble, France

The purpose of the study is to monitor human body hydration for medical monitoring. It has been shown that the hydration of the deep layers of the skin could reflect the hydration state of the body. Therefore a bioimpedance spectroscopy approach is developed in order to evaluate the skin ... Read More

Simulating Organogenesis in COMSOL: Towards Efficient 3D Simulations of Organogenesis

D. Barac [1], Z. Karimadini [1], R. Croce [1], D. Iber [1]
[1] Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering (D-BSSE), ETH Zurich, Basel, Switzerland

One of the major challenges in biology concerns the integration of data across length and time scales into a consistent framework: how do macroscopic properties and functionalities arise from the molecular regulatory networks ­ and how do they evolve? A deeper understanding of ... Read More

Imaging of tissue with near-infrared diffuse optical tomography is emerging as a practical method to map hemoglobin concentrations within tissue for breast cancer detection and diagnosis. The accurate recovery of images by using numerical modeling requires an effective image ... Read More

PVDF Piezoelectric Nanofibers as Hair Cell Substitutes: A Feasibility Study

C. R. Pérez [1], J. J. Santiago-Avilés [2],
[1] Department of Materials Science and Engineering, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA, USA
[2] Department of Electrical and Systems Engineering, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA, USA

Sensorineural hearing loss is the most common sensory deficit in the world, and within this category damage or loss of the primary sensory cells of the inner ear, known as hair cells is the most common cause [1]. Partial hearing loss is addressed by the use of hearing aids, electronic ... Read More
