Understanding of the Physical Principles of biophysics of the Human body and of the biomedical instrumentation
1) Scientific method. Scalar and Vector physical variables.
2) Inertia-force- acceleration-momentum-energy- potentials- gravity
3) Structure of matter and phase transition, gas, dynamics of fluids
4) Temperature- thermal dilatation- heat transmission- thermodynamics principles
5) Wave and oscillations - sound .
6) Light - reflection and refraction- colors - diffraction and interference.
7) Electrostatic - electric field and potential Elettrostatica - electric current - circuits - magnetism and magnetic induction- electromagnetic waves
8) Biomedical instrumentation and applications
.Brief introduction to epistemology of knowledge
2. Scientific use
3. Types of measurement scales: nominal, ordinal, interval and ratio scales
4. Representation of data in graphs and tables
5. Central indicators, variability indicators, asymmetry and kurtosis
6. Probability, sum and product principle
7. Probability application
8. Diagnostic tests: sensitivity, specificity, predictive values
9. Relative risk and odds ratio
10. Probabiloity distributions: binomial, Poisson and normal
11. Standardized Gaussian curve
12. Inference: central limit theorem ,sample distribution of the mean and standard error
13. Confidence interval for the mean and variance
14. Hypothesis test: null and alternative hypotheses
15. Significance tests between two groups: Sudent t test for dependent and independent groups
16. Contingency tables and chi square test
Brief description of linear correlation and regression
Non parametric-tests
