A high-speed photo detector IC for application in Blu-ray/DVD/CD drives is presented. Bandwidths for the highest gain of 254 MHz and 221 MHz for 405 nm (Blu-ray) and 635 nm (DVD) wavelengths, respectively, were achieved by applying novel design methodologies. The combination of this outstanding speed performance with its low power dissipation of 192 mW at 5V supply and the low noise power of −7...

PURPOSE To report the clinical features of a rare case of hypotropic dissociated vertical deviation (DVD). CASE REPORT A 25-year-old female was referred with unilateral esotropia, hypotropia and slow variable downward drift in her left eye. She had history of esotropia since she had been 3-4 months of age. Best corrected visual acuity was 20/20 in her right eye and 20/40 in the left one when ...

Although young men who have sex with men (MSM) are at high risk for contracting HIV, few interventions address the affective/automatic factors (e.g., sexual arousal, shame/stigma) that may precipitate young MSM’s risktaking. A National Institutes of Health (NIH)-funded DVD interactive video intervention that simulated a “virtual date” with guides/mentors reduced sexual risk over 3-months for Bl...

In this paper, we examine the DVD encoding process and the implications this process has video modeling and network traffic analysis. We have assembled a system that allows us to extract the video data from the DVDs as they were encoded for distribution. Analyzing the resulting video trace data, we describe how DVD encodings have evolved over time. In addition, our findings show that the underl...

On online shopping sites such as Amazon and Rakuten, recommended items are displayed along with the items being viewed. We consider that certain recommended items reflect the characteristics of the viewed item. For example, “DVD-R” may be recommended with “Printer,” whereas “Printer” might not have the recommended item “DVD-R.” In this case, we may assume that the item “Printer” can print a lab...

This project determined the effects of developing and implementing a preoperative instructional digital video disc (DVD) on patients' level of knowledge, preparedness, and perceived ability to participate in postoperative care activities. Content areas that were incorporated into the preoperative instructional DVD included: pain management, surgical drainage, vital signs, incentive spirometry, ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale certification is required for participation in modern stroke clinical trials and as part of good clinical care in stroke centers. A new training and demonstration DVD was produced to replace existing training and certification videotapes. Previously, this DVD, with 18 patients representing all possible scores on 15 scale items, w...

Lack of knowledge about psychosis, a condition oftentimes associated with serious mental illness, may contribute to disparities in mental health service use. Psychoeducational interventions aimed at improving psychosis literacy have attracted significant attention recently, but few have focused on the growing numbers of ethnic and linguistic minorities in countries with large immigrant populati...

PURPOSE To examine the association between components of the infantile squint syndrome (ISS) and age of onset of esotropia among subjects in the Cooperative Amblyopia Classification Study (CACS). METHODS Fifty subjects were classified retrospectively as having early-onset esotropia (EOE) and 150 subjects were classified as having late-onset esotropia (EOE), depending on whether symptoms of (o...
