The problems of calculating the jump distance and methods for solving these problems are described. The interrelation of the technique of performing a jump (the spatial position of the skis at the time of landing and the normal component of the landing speed relative to the surface of the springboard) with the form of sensor signals is considered. Real waveforms of signals obtained both during the summer artificial covering of the springboard and in winter, as well as generalized results of experimental operation of the system on springboards with different heights of the acceleration mountain are presented. It is shown that the use of vibroacoustic systems allows achieving the required accuracy of determining the ski jump distance – 0.5 m, and the integrati...

In this work, we developed and tested a screen-ing method of endoscopic analysis of canine colon neoplasms by its luminescent glow stimulated by a high-frequency electromagnetic field. Observations were made on nine dogs with endoscopically detected tumors in the large intestine. Comparative analysis showed that benign tumor and healthy tissue areas glow at the edges in a high-frequency electromagnetic field, while malignant tumors glow over their entire site. The lumines-cence histogram of healthy tissues had a one-humped appearance, while malignant tu-mors demonstrated a double-humped character, and the brightness was higher in magni-tude. Histological analysis data confirmed the luminescence results. Research on dogs can be the basis for developing an endoscopic screening method of malignant tumors of the large intestine in humans.

It is performed with a pacemaker via electrodes implanted in the heart. This technique has several disadvantages. The search for alternative methods of cardiac pacing is underway. One of them is control of heart rhythm through stimulation of the tragus. Objective: To perform the reflex stimulation of the sinoatrial node and to study the influence of the SS-68 substance on it. Materials and methods: Two electrodes were fixed in the reflexogenic zone of rabbits’ auricles, volleys of electrical impulses from an electrical stimulator were applied to the electrodes, and the synchronization range of volley frequency and cardiac contractions was recorded. This range was re-recorded again after injecting the SS-68 substance (2-phenyl-1-(3-pyrrolidine-1-cyclopropyl)-1H-indole hydrochloride) intravenously at a dose of 50 µg/kg. In other experiments on frogs in a high-frequency electromagnetic field, the process of excitation o...

Methods: The Dynamic Electrophotonic Imaging (EPI) Analysis based on Gas Discharge Visualization (GDV) method was used to study the structured water, as well as its influence to biological substances: food samples and sprouts. Results: Statistically significant difference between control and experimental samples were demonstrated on three brands of waters, but no effect on the fourth water brand. For samples of food products: apple, banana, carrot, celery, potato, cheese and sausage statistically significant difference between control and experimental samples was found. Observation of the germination rate of rye and oat seeds showed that the appearance of the first root (seed pecking) occurred 1 day earlier in the experiment than in the control. In the experiment, an average of 81.5% to 57% of seeds grew, while in the control 47.8%. In the experiment there were 63.2% to 54.0% of the right seedlings, while in the control 47.8%. The development of potato roots in the experimental variants was about 2 times higher than the roots in the control variants. Conclusions: Structuring of water under the influence of Amezcua BioDisc3 by Qnet had a significant effect both on EPI/GDV parameters of water and different biological substances influenced by this disc. This opens up wide prospects for the practical implementation of the EPI/GDV method.

Materials and methods: 138 patients (32 healthy and 106 patients with arterial hypertension) aged 20 to 70 years were examined using the methods of Electrophotonic imaging (EPI or gas discharge visualization GDV) and heart rate variability (HRV). Results: The analysis of the data revealed statistically significantly different EPI/GDV parameters in patients with arterial hypertension and healthy subjects. The values of the medians of parameters indicated the activity of the right hemisphere of the brain in patients with hypertension, most pronounced in individuals with the II degree of the disease. The comparison also revealed statistically significant difference in the index of stress of regulatory systems, while in patients with arterial hypertension it was much higher than normal. Conclusion: The possibility of identifying patients with high functional activity of the right hemisphere of the brain using the method of EPI/GDV can serve as one of prognostic factors of the arterial hypertension. Such diagnostic capability of the method can be particularly useful, for example, in case of timely detection of latent forms of hypertension.

Three parameters of interest in EPI measurements are as follows: Communication energy (C), integral or normalized area (IA), and Entropy (E). It is important to note that C indicates the total energy of communication for the organ system; IA is an indication of total amount of energy that is available for the organ system while entropy is an indication of the amount of coherence of the energy. Coherence and entropy are inversely related; this means less the entropy, more the coherence and vice versa. Illustrative cases of successful therapy with yoga practices in a wide variety of abnormal conditions are examined, and in every case, entropy is shown to decrease for the affected organ system while communication energy stays within stable range. Relative to the electromagnetic (Rubik) and living matrix (Oschman) models, it is suggested that the regulation of energy, its coherence in the bi...

These methods are mostly directed to detecting individual, personal emotions. The focus of this study is developing instrumental methods for remote detection of human emotions, both individual and collective. A new antenna device has been added to the Electrophotonic Imaging/Gas Discharge Visualization camera system. Examples of data are explored from a water blessing ritual, healing workshop training, musical performance, geophysical measurements during a solar eclipse, and a shamanic ceremony. These preliminary indications demonstrate a potential for mapping the effects of human emotions. We propose an international collaborative project for a Geoactive Zones Database: developing maps of energy parameters for sacral subjects and a program for study of their influence on the human psycho-physiological condition; in relation with both the envi...

Total body skin examination (TBSE) procedures, currently practiced for this purpose, can be extremely time-consuming for patients with numerous lesions. In addition, these procedures are prone to subjectivity when selecting PSLs for baseline image comparison, increasing the risk of missing a developing cancer. To address this issue, we propose a new photogrammetry-based total body scanning system allowing for skin surface image acquisition using cross-polarized light. Equipped with 21 high-resolution cameras and a turntable, this scanner automatically acquires a set of overlapping images, covering 85%-90% of the patient's skin surface. These images are used for the automated mapping of PSLs and their change estimation between explorations. The maps produced relate images of individual lesions with their locations on the patient's body, solving ...

To describe the image mathematically we propose several parameters: the form coefficient ͑fractality͒, the entropy, and the average streamer width. We study the dependence of these parameters on concentration. The form coefficient turns out to have the best combination of stability and sensitivity in the whole range of concentrations. Statistically significant difference between the solutions and distilled water disappears at concentrations of about 2 Ϫ20 N.

Description: The main reservoir of free energy in biologic processes is electron-excited states of complex molecular systems. Communities of delocalized excited-electrons in protein macromolecules are the basis of this energy reservoir. Specific structural-protein complexes within the mass of the skin provide channels of heightened electron conductivity, measured at acupuncture points on the surface. Stimulated impulse emissions from the skin are also developed mainly by transport of delocalized-electrons. Stimulated by high voltage impulses, optical emissions, with amplification in gaseous discharge, are registered by optical sensors (GDV). This quantum model supports an argument that GDV techniques provide indirect judgment about the level of energy resources at the molecular level of functioning in structural-protein complexes. Several years of GDV research have provided clinical correlations with well-accepted physiologic parameters. For example, postsurgery recovery progress is correlated with GDV parameters and GDV assessments provide independent diagnostic measures of psychophysical reserves in athletes. Conclusion: GDV methods for investigating human functional states, by assessing electro-optical parameters of the skin, are based on the registration of physical processes emerging from electron components of tissue conductivity.
