purpose: to determine changes in streoacuity in anisometropic myopic eyes after photorefractive keratectomy (prk). methods: this quasi-experimental clinical trial was performed in myopic patients with at least 1 d of in anisometropia spherical, astigmatic or spherical equivalent who underwent photorefractive keratectomy (prk) using the technolas 217 z excimer laser machine. changes in streoacui...

OBJECTIVES The objective was to examine the effectiveness of triage nurse ordering (TNO) on mitigating the effect of emergency department (ED) overcrowding. METHODS Electronic databases (Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, SCOPUS, Web of Science, HealthSTAR, Dissertation Abstracts, ABI/INFORM Global), controlled trial registry websites, conference proceedi...

The TNO spoken document retrieval system is based on the ABBOT Large Vocabulary Continuous Speech Recognition (LVCSR) system [Renals 1998] developed by Cambridge University, Sheffield University and SoftSound, and uses word spotting, the TNO Vector Space Engine and fuzzy matching based on phoneme trigrams for indexing and retrieval. We participated in full SDR mode and experimented with several...

purpose: to evaluate the effect of age on stereopsis. methods: we evaluated stereoacuity using tno and titmus test after full correction of refractive errors in  87 randomly selected subjects aged 5-80 years. results: there was a significant relashionship between stereopsis and age such that stereoacuity increased with aging (anova, p<0.001). conculsion: stereopsis decreases with aging and ther...

Makemake is a truely exotic TNO: Its thermal spectral energy distribution is very different from all other objects in our sample of nearly 140 trans-Neptunian objects observed with Herschel as part of the key programme “TNOs are Cool! A Survey of the trans-Neptunian Region". We present the our results on (136472) Makemake from thermophysical model studies of all Spitzer and Herschel observation...
