The risk of developing glaucoma increases dramatically with age (see table 1). OAG in people under age 40 is very rare (72), but in the Framingham, Massachusetts study, approximately 0.9 percent of people aged 65-69 and 4.4 percent of people aged 80-84 had the disease (94). Given this trend and the figures discussed above, a reasonable estimate of the total number of people over age 65 with OAG...

It has been previously established that for p-polarized light incident onto a semi-infinite absorbing medium, large negative Goos–Hanchen (GH) shifts can be expected in the case of weak absorption at incidence close to the Brewster angle. The effect has been demonstrated for certain semiconducting media at optical frequencies. Here we point out that similar phenomenon can take place for strongl...

In this paper the reflection and transmission at a plane interface between two different couple stress generalized thermoelastic solid half spaces in context of Loard-Shulman(LS)[1967] and Green-Lindsay(GL)[1972] theories in welded contact has been investigated. Amplitude ratios of various reflected and transmitted waves are obtained due to incidence of a set of coupled longitudinal waves and c...

conclusions in this study, use of one miniplate or two miniplates for treatment of favorable mandibular angle fractures was associated with a similar incidence of complications. thus, it seems that the use of two miniplates in this setting may not be warranted, nor cost-efficient. results in the single miniplate group, 25 patients showed lip numbness associated with surgery (55.6%), 22 patients...
