Preface

Abstract

The beginnings of the Polish Society of Applied Electromagnetism (PTZE) date back to the end of the eighties of the last century, i.e. the time which was full of great historical events. Alongside those events, or perhaps along with them, other, smaller, but perhaps no less important, scientific, social and cultural initiatives germinated. One of them, initiated by a group of several people, was the idea of an association of specialists devoted to the applications of electromagnetic field.

The goals of PTZE are generally concentrated on the following issues:

• promotion of cooperation between scientists of various disciplines in the area of applied electromagnetism;

• publishing books, monographs and training materials;

• assistance in training young research staff through scholarship exchanges and organization of research internships;

• organizing symposiums and conferences, both national and international;

• collaboration with existing domestic and foreign companies,

• coordination of research work in the area of various applications of electromagnetic field, with particular emphasis on research in response to social concern related to modern electromagnetic techniques.

Fulfilling the above fields of activity the members of PTZE and collaborating scientists prepared contributions to the present issue of Journal of Physics Conference Series. The contributions were preceded and inspired by the conference presentations at the XXX Symposium of Applied Electromagnetism in Modern Engineering and Medicine. Therefore, the papers are devoted to the subject of the conference and present wide spectrum of the electromagnetic field applications. However, the three areas of interests are to be highlighted: modern electrical engineering applications, biotechnological and agricultural applications and bioelectromagnetic and biomedical applications. They constitute the image of the contemporary situation in the world-wide research of applied electromagnetism.

All the articles, submitted to the issue, have passed the peer review procedure. The Guest Editors hope that the articles will be helpful in grasping and adopting some ideas connected with the modern applications of electromagnetic field.

All papers published in this volume of Journal of Physics: Conference Series have been peer reviewed through processes administered by the Editors. Reviews were conducted by expert referees to the professional and scientific standards expected of a proceedings journal published by IOP Publishing.
