PURPOSE To describe iris atrophy, serous detachment of the ciliary body, and ocular hypotony in a patient with chronic phase of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease. METHODS Ocular examination and follow-up including digital infrared transillumination imaging of the iris was done in a 52-year-old woman with chronic phase of VKH disease. RESULTS Infrared transillumination imaging showed extens...

This study aims to explore the relation between job demands and counterproductive work behaviors (CWBs). A cross-sectional sample of 439 coal miners completed a self-report questionnaire that assessed their job demands, psychological detachment, job anxiety, and CWBs in a Chinese context. The conceptual model, based on the stressor-detachment model, was examined using structural equation modeli...

The fluid dynamic interaction of cavitation bubbles with adherent cells on a substrate is experimentally investigated. We find that the nonspherical collapse of bubbles near to the boundary is responsible for cell detachment. High-speed photography reveals that a wall bounded flow leads to the detachment of cells. Cells at the edge of the circular area of detachment are found to be permanently ...

Nanomanipulation of biomolecules by using single-molecule methods and computer simulations has made it possible to visualize the energy landscape of biomolecules and the structures that are sampled during the folding process. We use simulations and single-molecule force spectroscopy to map the complex energy landscape of GFP that is used as a marker in cell biology and biotechnology. By enginee...

During detachment folding, the relationship between differential uplift and shortening depends on the mechanism of fold growth, such as limb rotation or hinge migration, and may vary over the lifetime of a fold. Thus, neither long-term shortening rates nor the present fold geometry unambiguously constrain the kinematics of fold growth. Where rivers cut through growing anticlines, fl ights of ab...
