Advances In Scattering And Biomedical Engineering

This volume consists of the papers presented at the 6th International Workshop on Scattering Theory and Biomedical Engineering. Organized every two years, this workshop provides an overview of the hot topics in scattering theory and biomedical technology, and brings together young researchers and senior scientists, creating a forum for the exchange of new scientific ideas. At the sixth meeting, all the invited speakers, who are recognized as being eminent in their field and, more important, as being stimulating speakers, presented their latest achievements. The proceedings have been selected for coverage in: • Index to Scientific & Technical Proceedings® (ISTP® / ISI Proceedings) • Index to Scientific & Technical Proceedings (ISTP CDROM version / ISI Proceedings) • CC Proceedings — Biomedical, Biological & Agricultural Sciences Contents:Scattering Theory:On the Elastic Scattering Problem from Cubic Anisotropic Inclusions (K A Anagnostopoulos & A Charalambopoulos)On the Scattering of Spherical Electromagnetic Waves by a Penetrable Chiral Obstacle (C Athanasiadis et al.)A Factorization Methods for Maxwell's Equations (A Kirsch)Acoustic Scattering by an Impenetrable Spheroid (J A Roumeliotis et al.)Applied Mathematics:Wave Dispersion Phenomena in Concrete (D G Aggelis & D Polyzos)Homogenization of Maxwell's Equations in Dissipative Bianisotropic Media (G Barbatis & I G Stratis)Moment's Method for Inverse Boundary Value Problems (Y Kurylev)Cleaning Astronomical Databases Using Hough Transforms and Renewal Strings (C K I Williams et al.)Mesh Modeling and its Applications in Image Processing (Y Yang)Biomedical Engineering:Autoregressive Spectral Analysis of Phrenic Neurogram Before and After Vagotomy in the Piglet (S Agner & M Akay)Classifying Patterns Relating to the Early Development of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Using Principal Components Analysis (B Knorr et al.)Fingerprint Verification Based on Image Processing Segmentation Using an Onion Algorithm of Computational Geometry (M Poulos et al.)and other papers Readership: Graduate students, academics and researchers in biomedical engineering, bioinformatics and mathematical biology.
