introduction international commission on radiological protection (icrp) has provided a comprehensive discussion on threshold dose for radiation-induced cataract in icrp publication 116. accordingly, various parts of the eye lens have different radio-sensitivities. recently, some studies have been performed to develop a realistic eye model with the aim of providing accurate estimation of fluence...

We measured apparent accommodation with pattern reversal visually evoked cortical potentials in 27 pseudophakic eyes after the implantation of posterior chamber intraocular lenses. The patients ranged in age from 47-83 years. The amplitude of accommodation was not significantly different between pseudophakic eyes and normal phakic eyes. Apparent accommodation was inversely proportional to the p...

Despite holding that all concepts are strictly speaking innate, Leibniz attempts to accommodate the common belief that at least some concepts are adventitious by appealing to his theory of ideal action. The essential idea is that an innate concept can be considered adventitious, in a sense, just in case its ideal cause is to be found outside the mind of the one who possesses the concept. I expl...

In this paper, Ginsberg’s/Fitting’s theory of bilattices is invoked as a natural accommodation and powerful generalization to both intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs) and interval-valued fuzzy sets (IVFSs), serving on one hand to clarify the exact nature of the relationship between these two common extensions of fuzzy sets, and on the other hand providing a general and intuitively attractive frame...

The commentators are unanimous in their support for our general orientation to culture and development, and for the pathways we have identified, and they suggest ways to enrich our approach to theory, methods, and values. We view their main suggestions as relating to trade-offs: between theories that highlight generalizations or exceptions; between methods that rely on one-, two-, or multicultu...

sity Church, Oxford. James Clarke & Co. 1949. 204 pp. 8s. 6d. Dr. Lee has attempted (as others have done before him) to effect an accommodation between Freudian theory and Christian doctrine. The task is formidable enough to daunt all but the most sanguine apologist ; and it would be as idle to pretend that Dr. Lee succeeds, as to deny that much of what he has written ought to be read, by Chris...

Jean is a model of early cognitive development based loosely on Piaget’s theory of sensori-motor and pre-operational thought (Piaget, 1954). Like an infant, Jean repeatedly executes schemas, gradually extending its schemas to accommodate new experiences. We model this process of accommodation with the Experimental State Splitting algorithm. We present the algorithm and demonstrate, in three tra...

This paper aims at an account of the German ‘‘reportive subjunctive’’, where the mood signals that the proposition is the object of an utterance report. The report can be explicit in the sentence or in the context, or more or less implicit. We interpret these uses as a more or less local verification or accommodation of a presupposition introduced by the subjunctive, thus accounting for a range...

AIMS Impaired gastric accommodation is a major pathophysiological mechanism in functional dyspepsia. The aim of the present work was to assess a satiety drinking test in the evaluation of accommodation in health and dyspepsia. METHODS Twenty five controls and 37 severely dyspeptic patients seen at a tertiary care centre completed a dyspepsia questionnaire, and gastric emptying and gastric bar...
