The present study examined effects of the initial landing position in words on eye behavior during reading of long and short Finnish compound words. The study replicated OVP and IOVP effects previously found in French, German and English - languages structurally distinct from Finnish, suggesting that the effects generalize across structurally different alphabetic languages. The results are cons...

PURPOSE To investigate the effects of arginine-vasopressin (AVP) on intraocular pressure (IOP), orbital venous pressure (OVP), and choroidal blood flow (ChorBF) regulation in anesthetized rabbits. METHODS Mean arterial pressure (MAP), IOP, and OVP were measured by direct cannulation of the central ear artery, the vitreous, and the orbital venous sinus, respectively. Laser Doppler flowmetry wa...

BACKGROUND Measles vaccination is associated with major reductions in child mortality and morbidity. In Guinea-Bissau, to limit vaccine wastage, children are only measles-vaccinated if at least six children aged 9-11 months are present at a vaccination session. OBJECTIVE To estimate the incremental cost-effectiveness of providing measles vaccine (MV) to all children regardless of age and numb...

Chads are thin, flexible, pre-numbered tags, printed on waterproof and solvent-resistant material. They use no adhesive and are available in a variety of colors. Chads adhere to the vials using friction. The hole in the Chad is slightly smaller than the diameter of the vial, so when the vial is inserted into the hole, the Chad is stretched tightly around the vial. When the vial is lifted, the C...

The purpose of discussed optimal valid partitioning (OVP) methods is uncovering of ordinal or continuous explanatory variables effect on outcome variables of different types. The OVP approach is based on searching partitions of explanatory variables space that in the best way separate observations with different levels of outcomes. Partitions of single variables ranges or two-dimensional admiss...

OBJECTIVES Children younger than 12 months of age are eligible for childhood vaccines through the public health system in Guinea-Bissau. To limit open vial wastage, a restrictive vial opening policy has been implemented; 10-dose measles vaccine vials are only opened if six or more children aged 9-11 months are present at the vaccination post. Consequently, mothers who bring their child for meas...

Onsager's variational principle (OVP) was originally proposed by Lars Onsager in 1931 [L. Onsager, $Phys. Rev.$, 1931, $37$, 405]. This fundamental provides a very powerful tool for formulating thermodynamically consistent models. It can also be employed to find approximate solutions, especially the study of soft matter dynamics. In this work, OVP is extended and applied dynamic modeling active...

The current study explored the influence of priming vantage point at retrieval on the recall of younger and older adults, in addition to the effects of visualization ability on recall. Based on McIsaac and Eich’s (2002) findings of the effects on younger adults’ recall, it was hypothesized that recollections would be more likely to include certain features when retrieved through the field vanta...

Objectives: Symptomatic os vesalianum pedis (OVP), a small accessory bone located adjacent to the base of 5th metatarsal foot, rarely affects individuals who participate in sports. The condition typically is treated with surgical intervention. This case report documents examination, evaluation, and treatment approach for professional soccer player conservatively symptomatic OVP. Methods: A nine...
