PURPOSE To report a new technique to explore peripheral vitreous-retinal tractions in patients with acute posterior vitreous detachment. MATERIAL AND METHODS A population of 65 patients with acute posterior vitreous detachment was studied by panfunduscopic SLO 230 lens and HRA-II to detect peripheral retinal tears and vitreous-retinal tractions. RESULTS In our study, using indirect ophthalm...

The error incurred in the representation of contact pressure at edges incomplete contacts by first order asymptotes is treated, and maximum value relative found for a range geometries, both symmetric non-symmetric. For power-law geometry, we identify when first-order asymptote achieves fidelity. Shear tractions are excited application shear force bulk tension one body. An asymptotic traction di...

Looking at wear of incomplete contacts in partial slip we start from an asymptotic description the contact tractions edges. We introduce distributed dislocations along zone to account for profile reduction due and find long-term time asymptote where is wholly stuck. The resulting stress field used crack tip intensity factors short edge cracks, which are useful predicting nucleation threshold.

We apply Preuss' concept of $mbbe$-connectedness to the categories of lattice-valued uniform convergence spaces and of lattice-valued uniform spaces. A space is uniformly $mbbe$-connected if the only uniformly continuous mappings from the space to a space in the class $mbbe$ are the constant mappings. We develop the basic theory for $mbbe$-connected sets, including the product theorem. Furtherm...
