Renewable energy generation and storage requires specialized capital goods, embedding critical raw materials (CRM). The scarcity of CRM therefore affects the transition from a fossil based system to one on renewables, necessary cope with climate change. We consider issue in theoretical model, where we allow for very costly potential substitute, reflecting backstop technology, partial recycling ...

purpose : to compare retinal nerve fiber layer (rnfl) profile in subjects with myopia and emmetropia using gdx variable corneal compensator (vcc) methods : besides ophthalmologic standard examination (refraction, visual acuity and slit-lamp examination, applanation tonometry, and funduscopy), perimetry and scanning laser polarimetry (slp) were performed. 171 healthy age-matched subjects with lo...

Purpose. To investigate aqueous concentrations of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in eyes with myopic choroidal neovascularization (CNV). Methods. Aqueous samples were collected, and VEGF concentrations were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in 16 eyes (16 patients) with active myopic CNV, 23 eyes (16 patients) with high myopia without myopic CNV, and 8 control eyes (7 pat...

This paper considers the problem of resource-constrained and noise-limited localization and estimation of dynamic targets that are sparsely distributed over a large area. We generalize an existing framework [Bashan et al, 2008] for adaptive allocation of sensing resources to the dynamic case, accounting for timevarying target behavior such as transitions to neighboring cells and varying amplitu...

Choroidal neovascularisation (CNV) is a common vision-threatening complication of myopia and pathological myopia. Despite significant advances in understanding the epidemiology, pathogenesis and natural history of myopic CNV, there is no standard definition of myopic CNV and its relationship to axial length and other myopic degenerative changes. Several treatments are available to ophthalmologi...

This paper presents a framework for analyzing how bounded rationality a↵ects monetary and fiscal policy. The model is a tractable and parsimonious enrichment of the widely-used New Keynesian model – with one main new parameter, which quantifies how poorly agents understand future policy and its impact. That myopia parameter, in turn, a↵ects the power of monetary and fiscal policy in a microfoun...

An inventory manager is typically concerned with a number of diierent products. His decision-making task is made complicated by such factors as interdependent uncertain product demands and competition for limited storage space. The stochastic inventory problem involving these complexities cannot in general be decomposed into a number of distinct single product problems. In the paper \Stochastic...

Most test-selection algorithms currently in use with probabilistic networks select variables myopically, that is, variables are selected sequentially, on a one-by-one basis, based upon expected information gain. While myopic test selection is not realistic for many medical applications, non-myopic test selection, in which information gain would be computed for all combinations of variables, wou...

Abstract This essay demonstrates the necessity of formally incorporating identity group stratification as a pillar alongside economic and political understandings any economy framework. We make our case by juxtaposing mutual inadequacies myopic limitations associated with two influential but polar frameworks-Marxian public choice theory-since neither framework incorporates an lens beyond class ...

purpose : to determine and evaluate the visual acuity (va) and refracion of correcting compound severe myopic astigmatism with the artisan toric intraocular lenses (iols) methods : in this noncontrolled clinical trial, 15 patients with severe astigmatism and at least 2.0 diopters (d) of astigmatism were enrolled. all patients met the inclusion criteria. artisan toric iol implantation was recomm...
