Topographic characteristics of the submarine Taiwan orogen

The ocular biometric and corneal topographic characteristics of high-anisometropic adults in Taiwan.

BACKGROUND To investigate the difference of ocular biometric and corneal topographic characteristics between the two eyes in high anisometropes with difference of 4 D or more in spherical component. METHODS Fifty-one young anisometropic men were collected. Detailed ocular examinations, including cycloplegic autorefraction, best-corrected visual acuity, intraocular pressure, A-scan, and Orbsca...

Characteristics of the Submarine Line Officer :

The objectives of this study were to identify the major motives underlying an officer's decision to volunteer for the Submarine Service. Responses to the open-ended question "Why are you interested in submarines?" were obtained from two samples of officer candidates for Basic Submarine School (Ns were 59 and 60). Categorization and Q-sorting of this array of responses produced 9 motivation cate...

Constraints from rocks in the Taiwan orogen on crustal stress levels and rheology

[1] Taiwan’s Hsüehshan range experienced penetrative coaxial deformation within and near the brittle-plastic transition between 6.5 and 3 Ma. This recent and short-lasting deformation in an active, well-studied orogen makes it an ideal natural laboratory for studying crustal rheology. Recrystallized grain size piezometry in quartz and Ti-in-quartz thermobarometry yield peak differential stresse...

Submarine Base, Groton, Conn. REPORT NUMBER 579 BACKGROUND AND MOTIVATIONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF MEDICAL OFFICER CANDIDATES FOR THE SUBMARINE SERVICE

A Medical Officer Questionnaire (MOQ), the Strong Vocational Interest Blank (SVIB) and the Allport-Vernon-Lindzey Study of Values (SV) were administered to 134 Prospective Submarine Medical Officers (PSMO's) and 105 Medical Officers (MO's) who had not volunteered for this branch of the service (NSMO's). All MO's in both groups held the rank of Lieutenant. The NSMO's were somewhat senior and had...
