Diurnal axial length fluctuations in human eyes.

PURPOSE This study sought diurnal variations of eye length in human subjects, analogous to those reported in laboratory animals. METHODS Seventeen subjects, ages 7 to 53 (median 16) years and mean spherical equivalent refractive error -0.68 D (range, -3.00 to +1.00 D), underwent axial length measurements at multiple times during the day between 7 AM and 1 AM the following day, using partial c...

X-Ray Background Fluctuations

Minor Ha activity, consisting of small brightenings and small, surgelike spikes, was observed to take place above an active center at the solar limb in good time-association with small fluctuations in the soft X-ray background flux, suggesting that even small dynamical events seen optically are associated with coronal heating. The ratio of Ha flux to soft X-ray flux in some of the surges was ap...

Nuclear quantum effects and hydrogen bond fluctuations in water.

The hydrogen bond (HB) is central to our understanding of the properties of water. However, despite intense theoretical and experimental study, it continues to hold some surprises. Here, we show from an analysis of ab initio simulations that take proper account of nuclear quantum effects that the hydrogen-bonded protons in liquid water experience significant excursions in the direction of the a...
