    Background. In previous studies involving subjects of both sexes with dysfunction of the neuroendocrine-immune complex, we found that the weekly use of Naftussya as Truskavets’ and Pomyarky deposits generally has the same effect on its parameters.The purpose of this study is to identify the differences between the effects of water of these deposits. Material and research methods. Observations were conducted with the participation of 22 volunteers with a clinical diagnosis chronic pyelonephritis with dysfunction of the neuroendocrine-immune complex and metabolism. At first, they collected a daily urine, which determined the content of electrolytes and nitrogen metabolites, and then in the morning they started taking samples of capillary and venous blood for biochemical, hormonal and immune assays, as well as registering the HRV and EEG. After the initial survey, 10 volunteers spent 7 days drinking water Naftussya from the Pomyarky (NP) deposit, while the remaining 12 from Truskavets deposit (NT) (250 ml three times a day), after which the above tests repeated. Results. The use of NP does not affect the symmetrical theta-and delta-rhythms, as well as causes the right asymmetry of the alpha-rhythm, whereas NT causes the left-hand asymmetry of all three rhythms. Increased asymmetry of alpha-rhythm and amplitude of delta-rhythm under the influence of NP decreases to normal, whereas NT causes even more deviation of these parameters from the norm. The use of NP reduces both the normal spectral power (SP) of VLF band of HRV and the increased SP of LF band without affecting the normal SP of HF band. Instead, NT increases the SP of LF and HF bands without affecting the VLF band. The described differences in neurotropic effects are accompanied by a more pronounced increase in blood levels of active T-lymphocytes and T-killers and more pronounced stimulation of NP intensity of phagocytosis by neutrophils of Staph. aureus and E. coli, as well as the activity and completeness of phagocytosis the latter's. This leads to a somewhat more pronounced reduction of bacteriuria. Conclusion. The revealed differences, apparently, are due to differences in the composition of organic substances and autochthonous microflora

GENERIC EFFECTS Nadiya O Sydoruk1, Walery Zukow2 1JSC “Dnipro-Beskyd”, Truskavets’, Ukraine   [email protected] of Physical Education, Health and Tourism, Kazimierz Wielki University, Bydgoszcz, Poland  [email protected] Abstracts Background. Ukraine has a number of fields Bioactive Water Type “Naftussya” focused on the Ukrainian Carpaty: Truskavets’, Skhidnytsya, Shklo, Mrazhnytsya, Opaka, Mizun’, Selyatyn, Guta etc and Podillya: Sataniv, Husyatyn, Makiv etc. Until now conducted comparative studies of their effects only on clinical symptoms as well as excretion of urine and bile. The aim of this study – compare immediate effects of Bioactive Water Naftussya from layers Truskavets’, Pomyarky and Skhidnyts’a on neuro-endocrine-immune complex. Methods. The object of observation were 15 volunteers-men without clinical diagnose but with moderate disfunction of neuroendocrine-immune complex (disadaptation). In basal conditions and after drinking Control (distillated, filtered, well) and Bioactive Waters recorded EEG (“NeuroCom Standard”) and HRV (“Cardiolab+VSR”). In blood counted up Leukocytogram, on the basis of which determined Popovych’s Adaptation Index and Strain Index. In serum of venous blood determined content of principal adaptation Hormones: Cortisol, Testosterone and Triiodothyronine (ELISA) as well as Na+ and K+ (flaming photometry) for evaluation of Mineralocorticoide activity. Immune status evaluated on a set of I and II levels recommended by the WHO. Results. Observed cohort characterized disadaptation documented high frequentlyties of Disharmonious General Adaptation Reactions (53,7%) as well as Distress (11,1%), decreased Popovych’s Adaptation Index, plasma level of Triiodothyronine, Vagal tone, Completeness of Phagocytose, blood level of “Active”, Theophilline resistance and CD4+ T-Lymphocytes, CD16+ NK-Lymphocytes as well as IgA while increased Popovych’s Strain Index, plasma level of Cortisol, Mineralocorticoide activity, Bayevskiy’s Stress and Activity Regulatory Systems Indexes, Sympathetic tone, blood level of CD8+ T-Lymphocytes as well as IgM. By method od discriminant analysis it is detected 38 variables specific to Basal level and after 1,5 h after drink Control Waters (CW) and Bioactive Waters Naftusssya (BAWN). Discriminant variables divided on four clusters. First cluster reflects caused by BAWN reversion of activating trend after CW for 17 variables (changes in Euklidian Units relative to Basal Level makes -0,14±0,03 and +0,45±0,06 respectively) while second cluster reflects reversion of inhibiting trend for 12 variables (changes relative to Basal Level makes +0,38±0,09 and -0,20±0,07 respectively). Information about these 29 variables condensed in major canonical root (62,6% discriminant properties). Means of its makes for Basal Level (n=54) +0,05±0,13 Mahalanobis’ Units, after CW (n=15) -3,10±0,31 while after BAWN in total (n=39) +1,12±0,20, separately for layers Truskavets’ (n=12) +1,28±0,28, Pomyarky (n=12) +1,13±0,28 and Skhidnyts’a (n=15) +0,99±0,29. Third cluster reflects attenuation of activating trend for 4 variables (changes relative to Basal Level makes +0,47±0,08 and +0,25±0,02 respectively) while fourth cluster reflects reduction of inhibiting trend for 5 variables (changes relative to Basal Level makes -0,31±0,04 and -0,10±0,03 respectively). Information about these 9 variables condensed in minor canonical root (37,4% discriminant properties). Means of its makes for Basal Level +1,03±0,14, for CW -0,94±0,20, for layers Truskavets’ -1,03±0,30, Pomyarky -1,28±0,28 and Skhidnyts’a -0,93±0,30. Conclusion. Bioactive Water Naftussya from layers Truskavets’, Pomyarky and Skhidnyts’a causes approximately equal immediate effects on 29 parameters of neuro-endocrine-immune complex different from effects of Control (distillated, filtered, well) Waters. Keywords: Bioactive Water Naftussya, EEG, HRV, Cortisol, Testosterone, Triiodothyronine, Leukocytogram, Immunity

    Magneto-inductive HF RFID system

    Efforts to increase read range in passive HF RFID systems are hampered by the poor range scaling law of inductive coupling. An alternative approach to enlarging capture volume—increasing the lateral extent of the antenna—is proposed, using a magneto-inductive (MI) travelling wave arrangement to allow larger antenna sizes. A theory of load modulation in MI systems is first presented, together with field simulations in the capture volume. A 2.3 metre-long MI antenna is then constructed, and an active tag emulator is used to demonstrate load modulation. RFID is then demonstrated, with the antenna in both reflection and transmission modes, using a custom reader constructed from laboratory equipment. A transverse read range of 0.5 m is obtained using commercial off-the-shelf RFID cards with 12 W RF power, with high uniformity along the length of the antenna

    Waveguide antenna topologies for distributed high-frequency near-field communication and localization

    High-frequency near-field communication is an inherently short-range technology. However, the total capture volume can be increased with traveling-wave antennas. Here, we report on analysis, design, and measurements of flexible waveguide antennas and discuss their performance for near-field communication and localization. The antennas comprise sections of coaxial transmission lines loaded periodically with field-generating inductive networks. Several topologies were compared to each other theoretically and the best-performing candidate was selected to fabricate antennas between 5 and 48 meters long, each containing 15 read nodes. Waveguiding properties of the antennas were measured and agreement with theory was demonstrated. Afterwards, each antenna was integrated with a custom NFC reader and shown to be capable of near-field communication with and localization of commercial off-the-shelf transponders compliant with ISO 14443 Type A protocol. The transverse detection range was 10 cm with 1 W input RF power. Both one-dimensional and quasi two-dimensional configurations were tested. The proposed antennas are flexible, scalable, have low loss, and could be used for near-field communication, identification, and tracking of distributed and mobile tags

    HF RFID tag location using magneto-inductive waves

    Location of passive RFID tags in the HF regime presents significant problems, because of the absence of radiating fields at the low frequencies involved. Here we present a solution for one-dimensional localization based on magneto-inductive (MI) waves. Passive tags are interrogated using a travelling wave antenna based on a MI waveguide, a magnetically coupled array of L−C resonators supporting travelling waves. Load modulation signals generated by the tag during its unique identifier response are coupled into the waveguide and travel to either end with low group velocity. Signal timings are measured by cross-correlation, and the tag position is estimated to the nearest resonant loop from the difference in their arrival times. Correlation detection is demonstrated using a system model, and theoretical predictions are confirmed using an experimental system containing eleven transformer-coupled resonators operating at 13.56 MHz frequency. Accurate localization is obtained up to the tag reading limit using <1W RF power

    Background. Previously we have been carry out comparative investigation long-term effects of Bioactive Water Naftussya from layers Truskavets’, Pomyarky and Skhidnyts’a on some metabolic and biophysical parameters at men with dysfunction of neuro-endocrine-immune complex. The aim of this study is the investigation long-term effects on neuro-endocrine regulation at similar patients. Materials and methods. The object of observation were 20 volunteers: ten women and ten men aged 33-76 years without clinical diagnose but with dysfunction of neuro-endocrine-immune complex and metabolism. We evaluated the trait and reactive anxiety, recorded EEG, HRV and blood pressure, determined levels of Cortisol, Aldosterone, Testosterone, Triiodothyronine and Calcitonin. After examination volunteers within 7 days used bioactive water Naftussya (250 mL three times a day) from Truskavets’ or Pomyarky layer, then repeated the tests listed. Results. Weekly drinking of Bioactive Water Naftussya normalizes initially elevated levels of testosterone in women and reduces initially normal its level in men, in both sexes normalizes initially elevated levels of triiodothyronine and activity of the autonomic regulatory systems as the parasympathetic, so sympathetic, combined with a slight increase in the normal levels of aldosterone and trend to increase (under low) reactive anxiety as well as post occlusive reactivity of vascular tone. Among the 164 registered parameters quantitative EEG revealed noticeable changes only 8. This is, above all, normalizing increase initially reduced spectral power density (SPD) α-rhythm in loci T6 by 93%, P4 by 33%, F7 by 29%, increase by 10% in the normal range modal frequency of β-rhythm and further enhance SPD θ-rhythm in locus T5 by 42%. On the other hand, showed a reduction by 28% initially normal PSD of β-rhythm in locus in O2 and further reduction its by 20% in locus P4. Moreover, there was left-sided lateralization initially symmetric α-rhythm. No significant differences between the effects of Naftussya both deposits were found. Conclusion. Bioactive water Naftussya both Truskavets’ and Pomyarky layers causes favorable normalizing effects on abnormalities neuro-endocrine parameters, which is a manifestation of its adaptogenic properties
