Although the evaporation mode of sessile droplets is almost universally characterized as either constant contact radius (CCR) or constant contact angle (CCA), here we investigate two alternatives where the contact line speed is either constant or inversely proportional to the droplet radius. We present supporting evidence from our experiments on poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) polymer solutions and ...

Purpose. To evaluate the corneal biomechanical parameters in myopic and emmetropic eyes using Corneal Visualization Scheimpflug Technology (CorVis ST). Methods. 103 myopic and emmetropic eyes of 103 patients were examined. Corneal biomechanical parameters, axial length, and mean keratometry were measured using CorVis ST, IOL Master, and topography, respectively. Corneal biomechanical properties...

PURPOSE To determine the effect of anthropometric parameters on refraction and ocular biometry. METHODS Noncontact methods were used to examine ocular dimensions and cycloplegic refraction in a stratified random cluster sample of year-1 Sydney school students (mean age, 6 years; n = 1765). Height, body weight, and waist circumference were measured according to a standardized protocol. Body ma...

Aim: The primary aim of this study was to find if there is any correlation between the corneal radius of curvature and its eccentricity. Method: 45 subjects participated in this study, 24 emmetropes, 18 myopes and three hyperopes. All subjects were free of ocular abnormalities and had no media opacities. All the subjects had normal ocular health and good visual acuity of 1.0 or better for both ...

conclusions the radiological findings of the present study showed that the use of a coral-dcfgp mixture led to superior bone defect healing and rapid graft incorporation when compared to the use of solely coral or dcfgp. background currently, coral is used as an osteoconductive material. demineralized calf fetal growth plate (dcfgp) has also been used as a source of osteoinduction. objectives t...

We study the Davis-Wielandt shell and radius of an operator on a normed linear space $$\mathcal {X}$$ . show that after suitable modification, modified defines norm {L}(\mathcal {X})$$ which is equivalent to usual introduce index compute its value explicitly in case some particular polyhedral Banach spaces. also present general method estimate any finite-dimensional space.

The problem of target localization with ideal binary detectors is considered in one dimensional space. The problem is investigated in both a censored and non-censored scheme. In the censored setting, the problem is equivalent to estimating the center of a uniform distribution by knowing samples of data. It does not admit an MVU estimator according to the previous results of Lehmann-Sheffe. Howe...

It is proved that two different and independently derived integral representations of droplet size distribution moments encountered in the literature are equivalent and, moreover, consistent with the general dynamic equation that governs the droplet size distribution function. One of these representations consists of an integral over the droplet radius while the other representation consists of...

This paper considers lossless uniquely decodable source codes for a class of distributions described by a ball with respect to the total variational distance, centered at a nominal distribution with a given radius. The coding problem is formulated using minimax techniques, in which the maximum of the average codeword length over the class of distributions is minimized subject to Kraft inequalit...
