Sommario/riassunto

"Focusing on exposure, induced fields, and absorbed energy, this volume covers the interaction of electromagnetic fields and waves with biological systems, spanning static fields to terahertz waves. Presenting a broad range of topics, the book highlights relevant properties of biological materials and computational techniques and/or experimental methods. Topics discussed include medical devices and systems exposure and dosimetry and mobile communication fields in biological systems. Extensive references are included in each chapter to enhance additional study"--Provided by publisher.
