PURPOSE To prospectively evaluate postoperative clinical outcomes with implantation of toric intraocular lenses (IOLs) using preoperative keratometry from an optical low coherence reflectometry (OLCR) ocular biometer (Lenstar® LS900) and the built-in Barrett toric calculator. PATIENTS AND METHODS A prospective observational study recruited one or both eyes of subjects who underwent uncomplica...

Due to its open character, TEX can act as an authoring tool. This article demonstrates that by integrating TEX, METAPOST, JavaScript and PDF, one can build pretty advanced documents. More and more documents will get the characteristics of programs, and TEX will be our main tool for producing them. The example described here can be produced with PDFTEX as well as traditional TEX. Introduction Wh...

Network calculus [1, 2] was developed for use in IP and ATM networks. It aims to be a system theory for deterministic queuing, allowing to derive deterministic guarantees on throughput and delay, as well as find bounds on buffer sizes and thereby allow for loss-free transfer. Traditional queuing theory analyzes the average or equilibrium behavior of a network, whereas network calculus shows the...

Switzerland like many countries plans to undertake an energy transition and the government proposes different paths for 2035 and 2050 to achieve it. However the authors of this paper felt the need for a better information of the public on the energy matters. A special web-based information platform was introduced in 2015. The platform includes a calculator, a book providing 100 questions and an...

No matter what your favorite definition of co-verbal “hand and arm gesture” is, at the basic kinematic level a hand and arm gesture is in any case manifested by some spatiotemporal body movement. Accordingly, a prerequisite of any empirical, data-driven account to gesture is to locate those segments in the stream of hand and arm movements that make up a co-verbal hand and arm gesture. Following...

BACKGROUND Rating scales form an important means of gathering evaluation data. Since important decisions are often based on these evaluations, determining the reliability of rating data can be critical. Most commonly used methods of estimating reliability require a complete set of ratings i.e. every subject being rated must be rated by each judge. Over fifty years ago Ebel described an algorith...

UNLABELLED The genomic mutation consequence calculator (GMCC) is a tool that will reliably and quickly calculate the consequence of arbitrary genomic mutations. GMCC also reports supporting annotations for the specified genomic region. The particular strength of the GMCC is it works in genomic space, not simply in spliced transcript space as some similar tools do. Within gene features, GMCC can...

The (classes of the) objects we saw in the previous chapter are rather simple. Not because they are small in size. In fact, in well-written, real-world code, objects tend to be fairly small. The main reason for the simplicity is that each of these objects has a single, self-contained method that does not interact with other methods. In this chapter we will see how methods can call each other, m...

A key term discussed in this study is change, which occurs in a company or is implemented by the company management. The basis for considerations in the subject of modelling changes within a company is the fact that changes are one of the most significant factors for all economic entities. Changes allow them to survive and to operate in such a turbulent and dynamically developing environment as...
