KNOWLEDGE of the means by which substances enter and leave the eye, usually referred to as " aqueous-humour dynamics ", is essential for an understanding of the factors contributing to the control of the intra-ocular pressure. In non-living systems, when a membrane separates two concentrations of a substance in a solution to which the membrane is permeable, this substance travels across the mem...

Four conservatism questionnaires (C-Scale; Wilson and Patterson, 1970; POI; Eysenck, 1976; MK; Cloetta, 1983; 16PF-Q1; Schneewind, Schröder and Cattell, 1983) were compared with regard to their ability to predict responses to humour based on the incongruity-resolution structure. We further investigated, whether a prediction of humour responses could be improved by assessing variables like tough...

When it comes to computational language generation systems, humour is a relatively unexplored domain, especially more so for Hindi (or rather, for most languages other than English). Most researchers agree that a joke consists of two main parts the setup and the punchline, with humour being encoded in the incongruity between the two. In this paper, we look at Dur se Dekha jokes, a restricted do...

We explore the use of the Spiral Array spatial visualization of tonal evolution through time for the visual analysis of P.D.Q. Bach’s The ShortTempered Clavier. In particular, we analyze situations in which we can see some of the humour devices abstracted in an earlier study by David Huron. We conclude that although we can see a good number of Schickele’s humour devices − such as incongruent st...

Both intraocular pressure and aqueous humour turnover rate were determined at intervals over three months in three females in order to investigate whether a correlation existed between these variables and the menstrual cycle. Not only was there a lack of correlation between intraocular pressure or aqueous humour flow rate and menses but intraocular pressure and aqueous humour flow rate were als...

BACKGROUND To investigate the levels of nitric oxide (NO) markers in plasma and aqueous humour of patients with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and their relation to ocular perfusion pressure. METHODS Cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) and nitrite (NO(2)(-)) were determined in plasma and aqueous humour of 38 patients with POAG and 46 controls. Blood pressure and IOP were measured to cal...

Hadith is the second source of Islamic law after Quran. was sourced from an interpretation practices deeds, words, and actions Rasulullah SAW, as well application teachings that are carried out in a factual ideal manner. Muslims expected to follow, apply, practice it their daily lives. Life needs humour; even humour laughter human nature God has destined for humans. Humour permissible Islam; ma...

This paper explores humour recognition for Twitter-based hashtag games. Given their popularity, frequency, and relatively formulaic nature, these games make a good target for computational humour research and can leverage Twitter likes and retweets as humour judgments. In this work, we use pairwise relative humour judgments to examine several measures of semantic relatedness between setups and ...

The importance of the analysis of processes related to cognitive phenomena through Natural Language Processing techniques is acquiring a greater relevance every day. Opinion Mining, Sentiment Analysis or Automatic Humour Recognition are a sample about how this kind of research works grows. In this paper we focus on the study of how the features that define a corpus of humorous data (one-liners)...

The lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) activity of the aqueous humour has been estimated in both eyes of 7 patients having uniocular retinoblastoma. In 1 patient the aqueous humour LDH activity in the healthy eye was above normal, but there was no clinical evidence of malignancy. Tumour tissue was detected in this eye 9 months later, and the aqueous humour showed a rise in LDH activity. A high LDH acti...
