purpose: to compare aspheric and spherical hydrophilic intraocular lenses (iols) in terms of contrast sensitivity and visual acuity in photopic and mesopic conditions. methods: this triple-blind randomized clinical trial was performed on 40 eyes of 40 patients at al-zahra eye center, zahedan, iran. the eyes were randomized to standard phacoemulsification procedure with spherical (adapt, b&l;) o...

Part I considered the application of Walsh functions to the analysis of genetic algorithms operating on different coding-function combinations. In this paper, those meth ods are extended to permit rigorous analysis of deception by considering the expect ed disruption to schema processing caused by different genetic operators. Algebraic extensions of these metho ds are considered, and a sensitiv...

Zusammenfassung. Wir stellen eine neue Methode vor, mit welcher strukturelle Ver anderungen im gesamten Gehirn detektiert werden k onnen. Dazu werden Deformationsfelder mittels nichtlinearer Normalisierungsalgorithmen f ur jedes zu untersuchende Bild ermittelt. F ur die Analyse dieser Deformationsfelder stellen wir ein multivariates allgemeines lineares Modell vor, welches eine Vielzahl von...

ABSTRACT This paper presented a high sensitivit√ opto-mechanical transducer for real time cell culture and contractile force mapping on a chip. The contractile forces developed from cells to their extracellular matrix is crucial to understanding how cells regulate their ph√siological function to adapt to their living environment and cellular processes. The structure consists of micro fabricated...

(pacing-induced) dogs. The sensitivity of these units was compared between the two groups of dogs. After development of clinical heart failure, the animals were anesthetized, and the left carotid sinus was vascularly isolated and perfused with oxygenated Krebs-Henseleit solution. Single-unit baroreceptor discharge was recorded from the carotid sinus nerve in response to stepwise increases in ca...

To compare arteriolar versus venular smooth muscle sensitivity to myogenic and metabolic inhibition during reduced blood pressure and flow, we measured the diameter of first-order venules (diameter, 230 ,um) and arterioles (diameter, 156 gm) of the denervated, bloodperfused rat cremaster skeletal muscle that was suspended in a tissue bath. Sensitivity was determined for bath-added norepinephrin...

Food contaminated with fungal pathogens can cause extremely harmful effects to human even when present in low concentrations. Researchers now pay more attention towards rapid DNA extraction for the quick screening, which is highly demanded in diverse research field. Molecular description of many fungal species is identified by different molecular characteristics. Hence, the efficient isolation ...
