OBJECTIVE The static ocular counterroll (OCR) reflex generates partially compensatory torsional eye movements during head roll. It is mediated by the utricle in the inner ear. Skew deviation is a vertical strabismus thought to be caused by imbalance in the utriculo-ocular pathway. We hypothesized that if skew deviation is indeed caused by damage to this reflex pathway, patients with skew deviat...

Trends in the incidence rate of lung cancer by histological type were examined, based on data from the Osaka Cancer Registry (OCR), Japan and the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results Program (SEER), USA. Among males, an increasing trend was observed for adenocarcinoma in both registries. In the OCR, the incidence rate of adenocarcinoma has recently overtaken that of squamous cell carcinom...

The importance of effectively retrieving OCR text has grown significantly in recent years. We provide a brief overview of work done to improve the effectiveness of retrieval of OCR text.

Despite recent advances, blind students, researchers, and professionals lack easy access to mathematical resources. This lack of access is a barrier to higher education for many blind students and puts them at an unfair disadvantage in school, academia, and industry. A survey of current mathematical accessibility technologies for blind persons is covered in this paper, encompassing reading, wri...

Mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to podocyte injury, but normal podocyte bioenergetics have not been characterized. We measured oxygen consumption rates (OCR) and extracellular acidification rates (ECAR), using a transformed mouse podocyte cell line and the Seahorse Bioscience XF24 Extracellular Flux Analyzer. Basal OCR and ECAR were 55.2 +/- 9.9 pmol/min and 3.1 +/- 1.9 milli-pH units/min...

PURPOSE To retrospectively evaluate outcomes of overnight corneal reshaping (OCR) in children aged 12 years or younger compared to children older than 12 years and adults at one practice to establish the efficacy and safety of OCR during a period of 51 months. METHODS Examination records of OCR patients were reviewed for pretreatment data, including manifest refraction, keratometric readings,...

Purpose Supply chain integration (SCI) is key to implementing omni-channel retailing (OCR) strategy. In this paper, the authors explore role of digitalization as a driver SCI, well human capital (HC) in digitalization, using knowledge management (KM) perspective. Design/methodology/approach An empirical study was conducted survey research. A sample 188 retailers Chinese market analyzed factor a...

The ocular counterroll (OCR) reflex generates partially compensatory torsional eye movements during static head roll tilt. We assessed the influence of age, viewing distance and target complexity on the OCR across the age span (13-63 years; n=47), by recording eye movements during head-on-body roll tilt (0+/-40 degrees in 5 degrees steps) while subjects viewed simple vs. complex targets at 0.33...

The optical character recognition (OCR) is the process of converting textual scanned image into a computer editable format. The proposed OCR system is for complex handwritten Kannada characters. One of the major challenges faced by Kannada OCR system is recognition of handwritten text from an image. The input text image is subjected to preprocessing and then converted into binary image. Segment...

A technique is presented that uses visual relationships between word images in a document to improve the recognition of the text it contains. This technique takes advantage of the visual relationships between word images that are usually lost in most conventional optical character recognition (OCR) techniques. The visual relations are defined to be the equivalence that exists between images of ...
