Recently, B. Roth and M. Woods [7] suggested a reexamination of MCG interpretation through currents transversal to the wave propagation direction. They also gave a formula J'(theta) for the dependence of the current intensity on the angle theta between straight fibers and the plane wave front. Here we study more general situations, including current injection at multiple points and curved fibers. We conclude that transversal currents are always present locally, in spite of electric pattern complexity and fiber curvature. Moreover, the J'(theta) relation holds locally. Nevertheless, computations indicate that macroscopically the far magnetic field may be similar to the one generated by a current dipole parallel to the wave propagation direction.

In this work, we propose a non-contact video-based approach that estimates an individual's blood pressure. The estimation of blood pressure is critical for monitoring hypertension and cardiovascular diseases such as coronary artery disease or stroke. Estimation of blood pressure is typically achieved using contact-based devices which apply pressure on the arm through a cuff.

Purpose: Shear wave elastography (SWE) provides a means for adding information about the mechanical properties of tissues to a diagnostic ultrasound examination. It is important to understand the physics and methods by which the measurements are made to aid interpretation of the results as they relate to disease processes.
Methods: The components of how ultrasound is used to generate shear waves and make measurements of the induced motion are reviewed.

Bloch waves are often used in dynamical diffraction calculations, such as simulating electron diffraction intensities for crystal structure refinement. However, this approach relies on matrix diagonalization and is therefore computationally expensive for large unit cell crystals. Here Bloch wave theory is re-formulated using the physical optics concepts underpinning the multislice method.

Effective spatio-temporal measurements of water surface elevation (water waves) in laboratory experiments are essential for scientific and engineering research. Existing techniques are often cumbersome, computationally heavy and generally suffer from limited wavenumber/frequency response. To address these challenges a novel method was developed, using polarization filter equipped camera as the main sensor and Machine Learning (ML) algorithms for data processing [1,2].

Flat lines within a band structure represent constant frequency bands for all momentum values (i.e., they maintain zero group velocity for all wave numbers).
