Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The Special Issue  invites  engineers, biologists and physicists dealing with  the phenomenon of interaction of electromagnetic field and engineering structures with respect to human body, or wider, to biological objects. The problem is of great importance as the use of electromagnetic field   has increased dramatically in the last decades and still keeps growing. Such a situation brings the improvement of the quality of life for the majority of human population and also evokes the anxiety and concern among some groups of people. Because of the nature of non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation, all the debates, and relevant discussions are very emotional and do not leave much place for scientific arguments  On the other hand, there are a lot of attempts  introducing electromagnetic field into the area of medicine. Although the relationship between electromagnetism and human body is known since the ancient era, the last years brought fast development of, the so called, electromagnetic medicine. Needless to say, also this area of bioelectromagnetics evokes numerous discussions and controversies.  It seems to the Guest Editors of the SI  that such a publication,   as well as many other  books and scientific journals try to enlighten the problem with the use of scientifically founded facts.   The particular targets of the Special Issue of Sensors  can be briefly summarized as presenting  innovations in analyzing, modelling and controlling bioelectromagnetic phenomena  in engineering, medicine and environment.

Due to increasing interest in imaging, industrial, and the development of wireless communication operating at THz frequencies, it is crucial to ascertain possible health impacts arising from exposure to THz radiation. This paper reports on the pilot study of transmittance and absorbance spectra of the porcine cornea following THz frequency irradiation at a synchrotron THz/Far-IR beamline. The exposure period was 4 hours. One cornea was exposed to the radiation, with a second cornea acting as a control. An Attenuated Total Reflection (ATR) apparatus was used, and the frequency range of 2.4 to 8 THz was selected to evaluate any changes. It was found that the synchrotron THz radiation intensities are too low to produce induced corneal injury, but may lead to subtle changes in the state of water. Our results suggest that THz spectroscopy is a promising modality for corneal tissue hydration sensing. Full article

Increase in trading and travelling flows has resulted in the need for non-intrusive object inspection and identification methods. Traditional techniques proved to be effective for decades; however, with the latest advances in technology, the intruder can implement more sophisticated methods to bypass inspection points control techniques. The present study provides an overview of the existing and developing techniques for non-intrusive inspection control, current research trends, and future challenges in the field. Both traditional and developing methods, techniques, and technologies were analyzed with the use of traditional and novel sensor types. Finally, it was concluded that the improvement of non-intrusive inspection experience could be gained with the additional use of novel types of sensors (such as biosensors) combined with traditional techniques (X-ray inspection).
