Industrial organizations continuously seek to apply the foundations of total production planning strategies because its positive role in helping these determine quantity required meet market demand presence crises and challenges such as epidemics natural disasters, well accurately determining organization's needs workers, time storage. Without an increase that, this contributes organization red...

One of the most common forms of visual impairment and reduction in overall visual acuity is branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO), second only to diabetic retinopathy (Rogers et al., 2010; Sun et al., 2013). Unlike central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) which is a similar macular disease, BRVO is extremely more prevalent and generally only affects a smaller portion of the retina (Osborne et al., ...

The way in which organisms create body schema, based on their interactions with the real world, is an unsolved problem in neuroscience. Similarly, in evolutionary robotics, a robot learns to behave in the real world either without recourse to an internal model (requiring at least hundreds of interactions), or a model is hand designed by the experimenter (requiring much prior knowledge about the...

We review here the interplay of cluster and galaxy evolution. As a case study, we consider the Butcher–Oemler effect and propose that it is the result of the changing rate of cluster merger events in a hierarchical universe. This case study highlights the need for new catalogs of clusters and groups that possess quantified morphologies. We present such a sample here, namely the Sloan Digital Sk...

The adhesion layer used in nanofabrication process of metallic nanostructures affects the surface plasmon modes. We characterize the localized surface plasmon resonances (SPRs) of gold nanodisks of various diameters and heights while varying the thickness of the Ti adhesion layers. Scattering, absorption, and extinction coefficient calculations show a significant dependence of the SPR on the si...

Purpose: To study whether intraocular pressure (IOP) fluctuations contribute to the risk of developing glaucoma in patients with high-risk ocular hypertension. Methods: Ninety patients included in the Malmö Ocular Hypertension Study were examined every 3 months with office hour diurnal tension curves and computerised perimetry. Patients were followed prospectively for 10 years or until glaucoma...
