Описание
Over the last decades, applications of irreversible electroporation (IRE) have emerged in biotechnology, food industry, and medicine. IRE uses a series of microsecond electric pulses that permanently open cell membranes and lead to cell death. The goal of this book is to address certain aspects of two major IRE applications: disinfection and tissue ablation in the treatment of diseases such as cancer. In relation to disinfection, I discuss IRE for sterilization of drugs, and using IRE for storage of perishable products. In relation to tissue ablation, I present a statistical model IRE treatment planning, and a new method for real-time control of IRE procedure. During the research on the real-time control of IRE in tissues, we realized that it has value beyond the original intended application - it may be used for generation of low cost electric energy. Theoretical analyses and emerging application discussed in this book should be especially useful to professionals in the Biomedical...
