A Transmitter—Receiver System for Long-Range Capacitive Sensing Applications

“…This indicates that the influence the subject has on the system is no longer detectable above the noise floor. Thus, the range for the 500 V source is around 3.5 m. This performance decreases as the source voltage decreases though While not shown here, tests with other subjects of different heights and weights (and thus, surface area and volume [26]) revealed that the magnitude of the response is also affected by the size and shape of the occupant. For example, a female subject, Person B, approximately 1.65 m (5.42 ft) and 52 kg (115 lbs) traversing the left-to-right path generated a very similar response to that of Fig.…”

Weight Loss and Lipid Changes in Overweight Subjects

“…From these equations they also developed a graphical method for the determination of hum an body volume, which was used in the present study. Comparison of this with other methods indicates that this method provides results acceptable for most clinical purposes [11].…”

The heart of a dragon: 3D anatomical reconstruction of the ‘scaly-foot gastropod’ (Mollusca: Gastropoda: Neomphalina) reveals its extraordinary circulatory system

“…The heart of Chrysomallon is estimated at 4 % of the body volume; by contrast the heart of a healthy human is averages at around 1.3 % of the body volume (mean total heart volume of adult humans 778 ml, taken from [38]; mean human body volume 61.05 L, average of both genders [39]). We interpret the heart, and particularly the muscular ventricle, functions to create suction that draws blood through the gill and thus pump haeomocoel to the rest of the circulatory system.…”
