purpose: to evaluate the effect of childhood corneal opacity on the anteroposterior length of the globe in adulthood. methods: twenty-three patients with significant unilateral corneal opacity which had developed before the age of 6 years and the normal fellow eyes (controls) were evaluated. a comprehensive ocular examination including measurement of anterioposterior length and anterior chamber...

It is numerically demonstrated by means of a magnetohydrodynamic code that precession can trigger dynamo action in a cylindrical container. Fixing the angle between the spin and the precession axis to be 1/2π, two limit configurations of the spinning axis are explored: either the symmetry axis of the cylinder is parallel to the spin axis (this configuration is henceforth referred to as the axia...

We present a novel configuration for an axial virtual cathode oscillator (Vircator) operating in the ${C}$ -band and designed high output power applications. In order to enhance efficiency, we have employed geometry with up seven refl...

The absolute configuration of the title compound, C(20)H(23)NO(2), has been confirmed as 4S. The benzyl residue and H atom at the asymmetric C-atom centre occupy pseudo-axial and bis-ectional positions, respectively. The oxazolidine ring adopts an envelope conformation. In the crystal structure, the mol-ecular packing is stabilized by non-classical C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

To realize the stability of the passive magnetic robotic system, a novel combination of permanent magnets is proposed. As we know, a single passive magnetic levitation is impossible to suspend all degrees of freedom of a rigid body; this article researches the combination of multiple passive magnetic bearings by the finite element method (FEM) simulation. Through changing the magnetization dire...

Coherent detection through two opposing objectives (4Pi configuration) improves the precision of three-dimensional (3D) single-molecule localization substantially along the axial direction, but suffers from instrument complexity and maintenance difficulty. To address these issues, we have realized 4Pi fluorescence detection by sandwiching the sample between the objective and a mirror, and creat...

In the title compound, C(19)H(18)O, the exocyclic C=C double bond has an E configuration. The ethyl substituent on the cyclo-hexa-none ring is in an axial position. The cyclo-hexa-none ring adopts a half-chair conformation, presumably due to conjugation in the benzene ring.

Motivated by the LHCb's very recent observation of exotic ${X}_{0}(2900)$ in ${B}^{+}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{D}^{+}{D}^{\ensuremath{-}}{K}^{+}$ process, for which could be a good open-charm $ud\overline{c}\overline{s}$ tetraquark candidate, we endeavor to investigate its possibility means QCD sum rules. In technique, four configurations interpolating currents with ${J}^{P}={0}^{+}$ are studied...

The centrosymmetric title complex, [Ni(C(13)H(19)N(2)O(2))(2)], is a mononuclear nickel(II) complex. The Ni(II) atom is coordinated by four N atoms and two O atoms of two deprotonated Schiff base ligands, forming a slightly distorted octa-hedral coordination configuration, in which the tertiary N atoms occupy the axial positions.
