purpose: to evaluate the visual outcomes of cross-cylinder ablation in laser in situ keratomileusis (lasik) for eyes with high astigmatic refractive errors and low spherical component. methods: we prospectively evaluated cross cylinder lasik in patients with high astigmatic refractive error but low spherical component over a period of 2 years. all procedures were performed with the nidek ec-500...

Rapidly spreading 3D shape applications have led to the development of content-based 3D shape retrieval research. In this paper, we propose a new retrieval method using Spherical Healpix. Spherical Healpix is a new framework for efficient discretization and fast analysis or synthesis of functions defined on the sphere. We analyzed the construction process of this structure and defined a new Sph...

Spherical microphone arrays provide a new and promising tool for the spatial analysis of complex sound fields. Considerable previous work has investigated the use of spherical microphone arrays for phase-mode beamforming, which relies on the Bessel-weighted spherical harmonic transform of the sound field. In this paper, we investigate the advantages that spherical microphone arrays provide for ...

Spherical microphone arrays provide a new and promising tool for the spatial analysis of complex sound fields. Most current frameworks, including HOA (Higher Order Ambisonics), rely on the spherical harmonic expansion of the sound field to form directional beams. Working in the spherical harmonic domain presents a number of advantages that include scalability (keeping the low-order components l...

This paper describes a method that minimizes the mean squared error (MSE) in estimating the spherical harmonic components of the surface air temperature field. The ratio of the MSE to the variance of the spherical harmonic component is expressed in terms of the length scale Xo, and the positions and weights of the measurement stations. The weights are optimized by the condition of minimizing th...

We report molecular dynamics calculations on a two-component, cold, 15,625 particle, three-dimensional Lennard-Jones fluid. We calculated spherical harmonic components Q(LM) for the density of particles in the first coordination shell of each particle, as well as their spherical invariants , time-correlation functions, and wavelet density decompositions. The spherical invariants show that ...

We consider spherical steady accretion of the relativistic Vlasov gas onto a Schwarzschild-like black hole. determine expressions for particle current density and rate present limiting mass at high low temperature. The results show that parameter characterizing breaking Lorentz symmetry can affects radial component rate.
