Materials and Methods: This prospective, cross sectional comparative study evaluated 30 healthy subjects fulfilling the inclusion criteria reporting in AFIO Rawalpindi. CCT was measured in both eyes of subjects using noncontact specular microscope, Dual Scheimpflug analyzer and contact ultrasound pachymeter by a single investigator at the same time of the day. Pearson’s correlation coefficient ...

The rapid recent evolution of the field phenomics--the genome-wide study of gene dispensability by quantitative analysis of phenotypes--has resulted in an increasing demand for new data analysis and visualization tools. Following the introduction of a novel approach for precise, genome-wide quantification of gene dispensability in Saccharomyces cerevisiae we here announce a public resource for ...

Abstract This paper argues that the possibility of revealing counterfactuals creaturely freedom to agents in possible worlds forming part God’s natural knowledge poses a new problem for Molinism. best comes light when considering phenomenon stubbornness, i.e., conscious refusal fulfilling providential plan revealed and intended us by another agent. The reason why this has gone unnoticed is usua...

Asking people to predict whether they will perform a target action often increases the probability of their performing that action. This article reviews published and unpublished research evidence for this “self-prophecy” phenomenon and reports 2 new experiments. The studies reviewed demonstrate that the self-prophecy effect occurs in a variety of situations and that it is a moderate-size effec...

A general automaton model for timing-based systems is presented and is used as the context for developing a variety of simulation proof techniques for such systems. As a rst step, a comprehensive overview of simulation techniques for simple untimed automata is given. In particular, soundness and completeness results for (1) reenements, (2) forward and backward simulations, (3) forward-backward ...

Computer Self-Efficacy (CSE) has been traditionally viewed within the IS discipline as an important factor contributing to enhancements in computer-related task performance. Despite these acknowledgements, however, the empirical results involving the effect of CSE on performance have not always been consistent. Further, increasing an individual’s CSE is also a cumbersome process from a practica...
