This paper examines three subtypes of the verb copying construction in Chinese. We begin by looking at Cheng’s (2007) analysis of the resultative verb copying construction, according to which both standard movement and sideward movement are required to account for the verb copying construction (VCC). Cheng suggests that the same analysis can be applied to verb copying with nonresultative phrase...

Purpose: To quantify the intraobserver reproducibility of retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) measurements using scanning laser polarimetry with variable corneal compensation in glaucoma suspect patients. Methods: Twenty-six eyes of 26 glaucoma suspect patients were included. Complete ophthalmologic examination and standard automated perimetry were performed for all of them. RNFL measurements were...

PURPOSE Aim of the present study was to evaluate whether there is a correlation between retinal blood vessel density (RVD) and the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness profile. METHODS RNFL thickness of 106 healthy subjects was measured using scanning laser polarimetry, GDx variable corneal compensation (VCC), and GDx enhanced corneal compensation (ECC). A proprietary soft...

PURPOSE To determine whether the nerve fiber analyzer GDx with the new variable corneal compensation (VCC) device allows measurements of retinal nerve fiber layer parameters independent from birefringence changes of the cornea after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK). METHODS Retinal nerve fiber layers of 32 eyes in 32 myopic patients undergoing PRK were analyzed using the GDx-VCC. Photorefrac...

Subramanian defined the complexity class CC as the set of problems log-space reducible to the comparator circuit value problem. He proved that several other problems are complete for CC, including the stable marriage problem, and finding the lexicographical first maximal matching in a bipartite graph. We suggest alternative definitions of CC based on different reducibilities and introduce a two...

The paper conceptualises digital technology as a source of innovation in value co-creation (VCC) at the bottom pyramid (BOP) markets through fieldwork focused on vegetable supply chains Indon...

A firm’s virtual communication with customers (VCC) simulates face-to-face through the Internet. This study is motivated by low level of small family-owned businesses’ VCC in Hong Kong during Covid-19 pandemic when restricted social distancing measures. decomposed into four subsets based on major functions it performs: product promotion (pp), customization (pc), customer service (cs), and order...

We present the results of a Keck spectroscopic study of globular clusters associated with the Virgo Cluster dwarf elliptical VCC 1386. We analyze blue spectroscopic absorption lines from 3500-5500 Å for 13 globular cluster candidates and confirm that five are associated with VCC 1386. By comparing metal and Balmer line indices of these globular clusters with α-enhanced single stellar population...

This paper considers the implementation of an exergy-based multiple degree of freedom (MDOF) optimization and control methodology for the operation of VCC systems. The optimization problem for the standard VCC is characterized in terms of 4 thermodynamic variables and 1 fluid-dynamic variable. The resulting control problem is then analyzed, and a design variable, Λ, is introduced which allows t...

PURPOSE To evaluate the structure/function relationship between visual field sensitivity and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness measured by StratusOCT (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Inc., Dublin, CA) and GDx VCC (Laser Diagnostic Technologies, Inc., San Diego, CA). METHODS Eighty-nine subjects (27 who had healthy eyes, 21 who were glaucoma suspect, 41 who had glaucoma) were enrolled in this cro...
