purpose: to compare anterior segment and ocular biometric parameters of unaffected fellow eyes of patients with a previous attack of acute angle closure (aac), primary angle closure suspect (pacs) eyes, and normal eyes; and to assess the risk of developing aac in pacs. methods: in this prospective comparative observational case series, 16 unaffected fellow eyes of patients with a previous attac...

This paper presents results of a simulation study designed to evaluate the applicability of Arps' [1945] decline curve methodology for assessing reserves in coalbed methane reservoirs. We simulated various coal properties and well/operational conditions to determine their impact on the production decline behavior as quantified by the Arps decline curve exponent, b. We then evaluated the simulat...

Background: Baseball pitching is a dynamic movement where the lower extremities generate and sequentially transfer energy to upper maximize ball velocity. The need for body muscular strength produce adequate push-off landing forces has been documented; however, influence footwear surface inclination on muscle activation remains unknown. Objectives: Determine how in molded cleats turf shoes from...

PURPOSE Aerobic economy is an important factor that affects the performance of competitive cyclists. It has been suggested that placing the foot more anteriorly on the bicycle pedals may improve economy over the traditional foot position by improving pedaling efficiency. The current study examines the effects of changing the anterior-posterior pedal foot position on the physiology and performan...

To study the laws of evolution dynamic increase factors (DIFs), relationship between DIFs and progressive collapse resisting capacity a structure with web cleat joints under column removal scenario, refined finite element model is established based on an existing quasi-static test. The are studied for different loading type, beam height, joint rotation stiffness. It was observed that displaceme...

purpose: to evaluate visual outcomes and intraocular pressure (iop) after single-site phacotrabeculectomy with mitomycin c in patients with senile cataract and primary open angle glaucoma (poag), pseudoexfoliative glaucoma (pxg), or chronic angle closure glaucoma (cacg). methods: in this retrospective study, patients older than 50 years who had significant cataracts (bcva £ 20/60) and uncontrol...

Abstract The noise generated by the rolling tyre contributes significantly to cars interior noise. This is caused tyre-road contact, and at low frequencies (0-500 Hz) mostly transmitted inside cockpit through structure-borne transmission path. In support of studies in this research field, an interpretative model tyre-wheel system accounting for effects induced angular speed represents a useful ...
