The effect of the cardiac radio biotelemetry on human heart rate variability has been investigated. The burst transmission mode with a high duty cycle minimizes the influence of microwave artifacts on the reliability of transmitted data.

As the population ages and the risk of chronic disease increases, the cost of healthcare will rise. Technology for mobile telemetry could reduce cost and improve the efficiency of treatment. In order to achieve these goals, we first need to overcome several technical challenges, including sufficient system lifetime, high signal fidelity, and adequate security. In this paper we present the desig...

Electronic tags (both biotelemetry and biologging platforms) have informed conservation and resource management policy and practice by providing vital information on the spatial ecology of animals and their environments. However, the extent of the contribution of biological sensors (within electronic tags) that measure an animal's state (e.g., heart rate, body temperature, and details of locomo...

objectives: the aim of this study was to verify the treatment planning systems (tpss). the next aim was to validate imsure qa software for patient-specific qa in radiotherapy clinics.  material and methods: we used imsure qa software (standard imaging, v 3.5) for verification of 92 non-imrt plans (540 fields) in 10 radiotherapy clinics. to validate the imsure, dose measurement was performed in ...

This paper introduces an ultrasonic communication system for biotelemetry in extremely shallow waters (under 3 meters). This application domain is notable for its tight constraints on device size, weight, and energy. We have developed this communication system as a fundamental component of the RaPTEX toolchain, which aims to simplify the prototyping and analysis of underwater communication syst...

Advances in digital biotelemetry technologies are enabling the collection of bigger and more accurate data on the movements of free-ranging wildlife in space and time. Although many biotelemetry devices record 3D location data with x, y, and z coordinates from tracked animals, the third z coordinate is typically not integrated into studies of animal spatial use. Disregarding the vertical compon...

Temporal differences in habitat use and foraging specialisms between ecomorphs represent aspects of behavioural phenotype that are poorly understood with regard to the origin and maintenance of ecological diversity. We tested the role of behaviour in resource use divergence of two Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) phenotypes, a slim, putatively pelagic-dwelling morph and a robust, putatively li...
