PURPOSE To assess a modified slit lamp-simulated oblique flashlight test in the identification of persons with suspected angle closure. METHODS Standard oblique flashlight test (SOFT) and a modified slit lamp-simulated flashlight test (SSFT) were performed on participants identified as primary angle closure suspects and controls from a population-based study. SOFT graded the iris shadow on th...

Simulation frameworks for Decision Support Systems (DSSs) at the whole-farm level have not adequately supported process level management and integration of complex farming systems. Development of the Great Plains Framework for Agricultural Resource Management (GPFARM) DSS for whole-farm management required a simulation package that could handle this complex system. Object-oriented (OO) techniqu...

The present paper reports observations on the excretion of the polysaccharid inulin by the normal and phlorizinized dog, these observations having been made prior to, or concurrently with, the observations on man recently reported by Shannon and Smith (1935). The introduction of inulin in renal function studies has been discussed by Richards, Westfall and Bott (1934), by Shannon (1934), by Prof...
