Microwave thermal ablation treatments induce coagulation necrosis of diseased tissue through the absorption of an electromagnetic field at microwave frequencies. In particular, the electromagnetic field absorbed by the tissue induces a temperature increase that, in turn, produces an almost instantaneous cell death. The electromagnetic field is radiated by a minimally invasive antenna located in the centre of the diseased area.

Numerical evaluation of the electromagnetic (EM) quantities induced inside the brain during transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) applications is a fundamental step to obtain the optimization of the treatment in terms of coil position and current intensity. In this sense, the human head model considered and the electromagnetic properties used to characterize the tissues have an influence on the EM solution. Thus, the aim of this study is to evaluate how different skin conductivities and different computational head models, i.e.

Abstract: Strategies for Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) management can be sustainable only because of site-specific analyses and choices that take into account not only financial but also environmental costs. Generally, a correct approach should use different scenarios based on the environmental, social, economic and technological conditions of the specific area and on its expected potential.
