purpose : to evaluate the accuracy of the two methods the clinical history method (chm), and the contact lens method (clm), in refractive corneal power determination and comparing the accuracy of srk ii, srk t and holladay ii (h ii) formulas for intraocular lens (iol) power calculation in patients who had laser in situ keratomileusis (lasik) surgery for myopia with or without astigmatism method...

Dielectrophoresis (DEP) is broadly used in microfluidic systems for the cell therapies or medical diagnostics [1] because of its capability to handle and sort biological cells [2,3]. In this paper, a new method to trap cells on-chip with high density arraying capabilities is proposed. The principle is based on the use of metallic singularities arrayed within the flowing channel of the biochip. ...

The representation of floating point numbers and the method of generating random floating point numbers can have a significant effect upon the performance of the simulated annealing algorithm. Finite precision may limit the minimum obtainable cost, may result in an optimal minimum temperature, and may imply an optimal chain length.

We present the new synthesis root of spinel-structure FeCr2O4 and its single crystal growth by optical floating zone method, ensuring phase near-ideal composition. The advantage proposed method is creation reducing atmosphere in oven needed for preserving Fe2+ oxidation state via decomposition iron (II) oxalate FeC2O4 used as one initial components. occurrence Fe3+ ions obtained polycrystalline...

In recent years light-cone quantization of quantum eld theory has emerged as a promising method for solving problems in the strong coupling regime. The approach has a number of unique features that make it particularly appealing, most notably, the ground state of the free theory is also a ground state of the full theory. We discuss the light-cone quantization of gauge theories from two perspect...

The paper proposes a simple method to determine the 3-D location and shape parameters of a right circular cone using structured lights. A vital concept in the proposed method is to convert the complex curved stripe pattern into an equivalent, but simpler, linear stripe pattern. The conic surface patch lying between two visible silhouette edges is replaced by the plane defined by the two silhoue...

We consider multigrid iterative methods for the solution of electromagnetic scattering for dielectric materials. We show convergence of the iteration using coarse grids which are two to four times coarser in each dimension than the fine grid. These results allow a significant increase in problem size and solution speed, for a given hardware configuration. We report in particular on the solution...

A subcellular fraction prepared from fetal rat brain and enriched in growth cone membranes is analyzed for its lectin-binding proteins. Growth-associated glycoproteins are identified by comparing the growth cone glycoproteins with those of synaptosomes. Protein was resolved in one- or two-dimensional gels, electroblotted, and blots probed with radioiodinated concanavalin A, wheat germ agglutini...
