By Noel Alpins, FRANZCO, FRCOphth, FACS The ASSORT Toric Calculator offers unique features, designed for accuracy and functionality, that are not available on other calculators provided by implant companies or private groups. Its primary unique feature is the ability to calculate the most effective implant (sphere and toricity) available from all companies worldwide and compare IOLs based on th...

This article develops a relational perspective on the coordination of work. Existing theory suggests that relational forms of coordination should improve performance in settings that are highly interdependent, uncertain and time-constrained. Going beyond previous work, we argue that relational coordination should also improve job satisfaction by helping employees to accomplish their work more e...

The article describes the process of hot water extraction treatment a specific material—in this case, shavings hemp shives different thicknesses, sorted by their thickness into three fractions 0–4 mm, 4–8 and 8–12 mm. In addition, each sample from given fraction was separately subjected to one, two, processes. After material treated with extraction, cellulose determination performed using Kürsc...

This presentation is based upon conclusions drawn from my private practice of psychiatry over the past fifteen years. Having been trained in the formal concepts of classical dynamic psychiatry, I used that approach with the majority of my patients until about five years ago. Dissatisfaction with the results led me to the study of other approaches which revealed interesting findings. My results ...

Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate the differences in Intraocular Lens (IOL) power keratoconus (KC) eyes between calculations obtained clinically with most commonly used formulas healthy (SRK T, Holladay 1, Hoffer Q and Haigis) as well define predictive factors for such differences. Methods: retrospective comprised 43 of 22 patients no previous ocular surgery. IOL powers were calculated...

Humic-like substances (HULIS) have been identified in the water soluble component of atmospheric aerosols, comprising as much as 50% of the water soluble aerosol species at both urban and rural sites (Cappiello, et al., 2003; Limbeck, et al., 1996). These substances have been found to resemble the aquatic humic and fulvic acids, which are known to play important roles in groundwater chemistry. ...
