    Abstract: The primary problem of safety and efficiency for the high intensity therapeutic ultrasound (HITU) is the acoustic measure and dose control. The key technique is the pressure and intensity in the acoustic field especial in the focal region using the small calibrated hydrophone. The calibration accuracy of the used hydrophone is very important for HI... Show More

    Abstract: In this paper a direct derivation of the dynamics of objects moving with relativistic speeds is presented, based on two assumptions: (i) energy and mass of an object in motion are equivalent (mass-energy equivalence, known in special relativity and confirmed in experiments), (ii) an object can be considered as a variable-mass object with mass incre...
