AIMS To evaluate whether the b-wave of the dark adapted flash electroretinogram (ERG) is affected by glaucomatous damage. METHODS ERGs were recorded in 35 patients aged 33-65 years with advanced asymmetrical glaucomas (interocular difference of perimetric defects (mean deviation) >2 dB between the two fellow eyes of the glaucoma patients, primary and secondary open angle and low tension glauc...

Partial wave amplitudes have been extracted from accurate data on pp → π−π+, combined with earlier data on pp → π0π0, by a method which incorporates the theoretical constraints of analyticity and crossing symmetry. The resulting solution gives a good fit to the annihilation data and is also consistent with the wealth of information in the crossed channel πN → πN . The partial wave amplitudes sh...

The characteristics of the partial nuclear muon capture with massive left-handed Dirac neutrino and relativistic component of the muon wave function have been derived. The multipole amplitudes are given as a function of neutrino mass parameter and reduced nuclear matrix elements which are modified by the small component of the muon wave function. As an example, the capture rate, asymmetry and p...

OBJECTIVE To examine results of the multifocal electroretinogram (MERG) after spontaneous resolution of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) detachments. METHODS Multifocal electroretinograms were recorded from both eyes of 5 recovered patients with CSC and 10 age-matched healthy subjects. All patients with CSC had bilaterally subnormal MERG amplitudes during a first attack of CSC occuring ...

[1] We present a case study of the non‐linear interaction between the quasi‐two day wave (Q2DW) and the migrating diurnal tide based on global synoptic meridional wind fields for January 2006 and January 2008 from a high‐altitude data assimilation/forecast system. We find large quasi‐two day wave amplitudes, small diurnal tide amplitudes, and phase locking of the Q2DW with the diurnal cycle dur...

This study investigates the effect of stratospheric sudden warmings (SSWs) on planetary wave (PW) activity in the mesosphere–lower thermosphere (MLT). PW activity near 95 km is derived from meteor wind data using a chain of eight SuperDARN radars at high northern latitudes that span longitudes from 150W to 25 E and latitudes from 51 to 66 N. Zonal wave number 1 and 2 components were extracted f...

Methods are described for the nonperturbative calculation of wave functions and scattering amplitudes in light-cone quantization. Form factors are computed from the boost-invariant wave functions, which appear as coefficients in a Fock-state expansion of the field-theoretic eigenstate. A technique is proposed for calculating scattering amplitudes from matrix elements of a T operator between suc...
