Use of the grounded theory research method (GTM) is increasing across many fields of inquiry. Understanding the GTM and how to apply it is therefore a key task for researchers examining the possibility of using this method in their research. Since its introduction by Glaser and Strauss in 1967, GTM has evolved into two major streams, and there has been a continual debate about the choice betwee...

It is proposed that T violation in hadronic physics, as well as the masses of u, d quarks, arise from a pseudoscalar interaction with a new spin 0 field τ(x), odd in P and T , but even in C. This interaction contains a factor iγ5 in the quark Dirac algebra, so that the full Hamiltonian is P , T conserving; but by spontaneous symmetry breaking, the new field τ(x) has a nonzero expectation value ...

PURPOSE To compare the outcome of Collagen cross-linking (CXL) with that following topography-guided customized ablation treatment (T-CAT) with simultaneous CXL in eyes with progressive keratoconus. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a prospective, non-randomized single centre study of 66 eyes with progressive keratoconus. Of these, 40 eyes underwent CXL and 26 eyes underwent T-CAT + CXL. The ref...
