Abstract Dynamic studies of several processed cheeses were carried out for evaluation of their dielectric properties and their relaxation behavior. Impedance spectroscopy has been used to study the systems under discussion in low-frequency domain. A substantial number of impedance spectra will be given and discussed that relate the dielectric properties to food nutrients. Also influence of moisture on food quality might be evaluated.

Results of fabrication and study of Ba1-xLaxTi1-x/4O3(BLT) ceramics for x within the range 0.001≤x≤0.004 is reported in the present paper. BLT ceramics has a structure based on ABO3–type perovskite, and its properties strongly depend on the chemical comSubscript textposition. The interrelated semiconductor and ferroelectric properties of La-doped BaTiO3ceramics were considered for describing its electrical properties. Dielectric properties were studied in frequency domain by impedance spectroscopy with a Quadtech 1920-type precision LCR meter at room temperature T=RT.

ABSTRACTElectrical/dielectric properties of nanocrystalline cerium oxide have been studied using impedance spectroscopy, thermopower, and DC 4-point conductivity. The combined techniques identified the effect of poor electroding on impedance spectra. Incomplete contact between the specimen and the electrode induces an additional arc in the impedance spectra. The additional high resistance feature results from the geometric constriction of current flow at the specimen/electrode interface and can be misinterpreted as a grain boundary response. The defect chemistry, nonstoichiometry, and transport properties were investigated in nanoscale ceria and compared with those of microcrystalline material.

The increasing research on development of novel bio-materials has resulted in several studies on non-destructive evaluation methods for characterizing these materials and the biological materials receiving them. A broad range of techniques are available. As an alternative tool, electrical impedance spectroscopy, has become a widely used, non destructive and low cost technique in material quality evaluation. Particularly in bones, it has also been demonstrated that mechanical characteristics are strongly correlated to dielectric properties. In this work, non destructive estimation (the same samples can be tested using other techniques) of the dielectric properties of fresh trabecular bones (layered lossy structure) using coaxial probes is analyzed from 1MHz to 10MHz (in frequency domain) and from 80MHz to 1GHz (in both, frequency and time domain). Frequency domain system identification is used to build the estimation in the low frequency range and an orthonormal based identification approach, for the high frequency data. Comments on conductive samples, non Debye dielectrics and polarization effects are added. The methodology was applied to a particular human sample population of aged adult femur heads and results are presented here. A comparison with destructive test, in which the samples were machined into cylinders of 7mm diameter, is also performed.

The dielectric properties of Zr substituted CaCu3Ti4O12ceramics have been investigated in detail. Grain size decreases with Zr content increasing. The hetero-electrical microstructures of prepared samples have been confirmed by the impedance spectra. The dielectric loss has been improved by Zr doping because of the enhancement of grain boundary resistivity. A Debye-like boundary relaxation behavior has been observed in the temperature range of 220-600K. As Zr content increases, the relaxation time increases due to the higher grain boundary concentration. This work has provided an additional proof for the origin of giant dielectric response in CaCu3Ti4O12ceramics.

Background.Bioelectrical impedance spectroscopy is applied to measure changes in tissue composition. The aim of this study was to evaluate its feasibility in measuring the fluid shift after thoracentesis in patients with pleural effusion.Methods.45 participants (21 with pleural effusion and 24 healthy subjects) were included. Bioelectrical impedance was analyzed for “Transthoracic,” “Foot to Foot,” “Foot to Hand,” and “Hand to Hand” vectors in low and high frequency domain before and after thoracentesis. Healthy subjects were measured at a single time point.Results.The mean volume of removed pleural effusion was1169±513 mL. The “Foot to Foot,” “Hand to Hand,” and “Foot to Hand” vector indicated a trend for increased bioelectrical impedance after thoracentesis. Values for the low frequency domain in the “Transthoracic” vector increased significantly (P<0.001). A moderate correlation was observed between the amount of removed fluid and impedance change in the low frequency domain using the “Foot to Hand” vector (r=-0.7).Conclusion.Bioelectrical impedance changes in correlation with the thoracic fluid level. It was feasible to monitor significant fluid shifts and loss after thoracentesis in the “Transthoracic” vector by means of bioelectrical impedance spectroscopy. The trial is registered with Registration Numbers IRB EK206/11 andNCT01778270.
