PURPOSE To report 1-year results of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) in 7 eyes with corneal endothelial guttata and a family history of Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy. SETTING John Moran Eye Center, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA. METHODS A retrospective chart review was performed of 4 patients (7 eyes) who had trace to 1+endothelial guttata and a family history of Fuchs dy...

Mirror symmetry of Calabi-Yau manifolds is one of the most beautiful aspects of string theory. It has been applied with great success to do non-perturbative calculation of quantum cohomology rings1−10. More recently, new ideas have been developed to apply mirror symmetry to study the moduli space of the type II string vacua compactified on a Calabi-Yau manifold. Some of the recent work on verif...

There are relatively few studies that evaluate the quality of progress monitoring estimates derived from curriculum-based measurement of reading. Those studies that are published provide initial evidence for relatively large magnitudes of standard error relative to the expected magnitude of weekly growth. A major contributor to the observed magnitudes of standard error is the inconsistency of p...

In this paper we show that the index of a 1-reducible subgroup of the diierential Galois group of an ordinary homogeneous linear diierential equation L(y) = 0 yields the best possible bound for the degree of the minimal polynomial of an algebraic solution of the Riccati equation associated to L(y) = 0. For an irreducible third order equation we show that this degree belongs to f3;6;9;21;36g. Wh...

We explore the topological defects of critical three-state Potts spin system on torus, Klein bottle and cylinder. A complete characterization is obtained by breaking down Fuchs-Runkel-Schweigert construction 2d rational CFT to lattice setting. This done applying strange correlator prescription recently tensor network descriptions string-net ground states in terms bimodule categories [Lootens, F...
