Biodegradable magnetic polymer nanocomposite based on natural nanotubes

(Investigator: M. Škrátek) Biodegradable polymer nanocomposites represent a promising group of plastics usable for various bio- and enviro-friendly applications, such as drug carriers or biological plastics with shape memory. Polymers are generally electrically non-conductive and non-magnetic materials. Natural Halloyzite nanotubes (HNT) modified with iron oxide nanoparticles were used to improve the mechanical properties of the…

New methods for determination of oxidative metabolism of skeletal muscle using phosphorus MR saturation transfer at rest and during exercise

(Investigators: L. Valkovič, I. Frollo) Cardiovascular disease, obesity and diabetes are very often accompanied by changes in the energy metabolism of skeletal muscle. Therefore, modern medicine is placing increasing emphasis on research into new non-invasive methods for measuring energy metabolism. In line with this trend, new methodologies for determining oxidative metabolism using static and dynamic…

Method for accelerated simulation of electrical activity of anisotropic heart model using graphics processors

(Investigators: P. Kaľavský, M. Potse, S. Pezzuto, M. Tyšler) A method for computationally fast simulation of electrical activation of an anisotropic model of the heart based on eikonal equations was proposed. The method was implemented in the parallel programming language CUDA and supports massive parallel computations on graphics processors (GPU). The computational speed of the…
