Weekly Report Feb 8 - Feb 15

Enes and Jason
Checked the electromagnetic properties of water as large amounts of
    sugar were added, plotted the results
Checked the solution of sugar, water, and bleach for mold, none present

Enes
Plotted graphs for Conductivity and Permittivity for all conducted solutions
    including Sugar/Bleach solutions at different concentrations, gel
    solutions, plain distilled water, and the aimed solution obtained from the
    electromagnetic properties of muscle table

Jason
Plotted graphs for the Conductivity and Permittivity for the gel solutions
    after a period of 1 weeks time.  During this time, the gel in the beaker
    was left in open air, while the gel in the plastic container was sealed
Calculated cost to fill phantom with current gel solution, based on lowest
prices found for materials on the internet

Omar
Nothing

Plan for next week-
Once again check if properties of gel changed and record them,
Check if properties of the sugar solution are consistent and didn't vary
    over the 4 weeks
If Manny gives us permission to continue study of the gel medium, order
    more Bis-Acrylamide for use in preparing the gel
Look into increasing the frequency bandwidth to 6 GHz for the automated
    testing software
Look into different gelling agents in order to decrease total cost
