purpose: to study recordings of oscillatory potentials (ops) of the electroretinogram (erg) in diabetic eyes that have no visible fundus alterations, to ascertain whether changes in sensitivity are evident when compared with recordings from age-matched controls. methods: ops of the erg were measured from 68 eyes of 34 patients with diabetes without retinopathy and from 30 eyes of 15 normal subj...

In this work, we propose polarimetry experiments to search for low-mass (sub-eV) bosonic field dark matter, including axions and axionlike particles. We show that a configuration consisting of thick birefringent solid inside Fabry-P\'erot cavity is exceptionally sensitive scalar which may cause oscillatory variations in the solid's thickness refractive index. addition, reconfiguration experimen...

Two new Chinese species of the leafhopper genus Onukigallia, Onukigallia neoonukiisp. n. from Sichuan and Guangdong Provinces, and Onukigallia tumidasp. n. from Hubei and Hunan Provinces are described and illustrated. A key and an updated checklist with distributions of Onukigallia species are provided.

This paper deals with 21 species of Hishimonus Ishihara and two species of Litura Knight from the Indian subcontinent. The following new species are described: Hishimonus acuminatus sp. nov. (India: Mizoram), H. distinctus sp. nov. (India: Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu. Sri Lanka), H. dwipae sp. nov. (Sri Lanka), H. longisetosus sp. nov. (India: Karnataka), H. spicans sp. nov. (India: Karnataka...

Seven species of Hishimonus Ishihara are recorded in Thailand, four of which were previously recorded from neighbouring countries and three new species described herein: Hishimonus pallidus sp. nov., H. diffractus sp. nov. and H. gillespiei sp. nov. The other four species are H. concavus Knight, previously known from the Philippines, H. subtilis Knight recorded from Singapore, H. aberrans Knigh...

The authors obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of oscillatory solutions with a specified asymptotic behavior of solutions to a nonlinear neutral differential equation with distributed delay of third order. We give new theorems which ensure that every solution to be either oscillatory or converges to zero asymptotically. Examples dwelling upon the importance of applicab...

The stability of stratified Rivlin-Ericksen fluid in porous medium in the presence of suspended particles and magnetic field has been investigated. Upon application of normal mode technique, the dispersion relation was obtained. The important results obtained in this paper include the instability of non-oscillatory modes and the stability of oscillatory modes. Also, it was found that the system...

film coating solutions containing different grades of hpmc (e5, e15 and e50) with and without polyethylene glycol (with various molecular weights) were examined by an oscillatory method, using haake cv 100 rheometer. fundamental rheological parameters (?, g? and g² ) were measured over the frequency range from 0.04 to 2 hz. the variation with frequency of the loss tangent (a ratio of viscous to...

introduction: studying long-term trend changes of meteorological parameters is one of the routine methods in atmospheric studies, especially in the climate change subject. among the meteorological parameters, temperature is always considered as one of the most atmospheric elements and studying it in order to gain a better understanding of the climate change phenomenon, has been effective. in ad...

The Casimir effect arises from the zero-point energy of particles in momentum space deformed by existence two parallel plates. For degrees freedom on lattice, its energy-momentum dispersion is determined so as to keep a periodicity within Brillouin zone, that modified. We study properties for lattice fermions, such naive fermion, Wilson and overlap fermion based M\"obius domain-wall formulation...
