purpose: to report the clinical, histopathologic, microbiologic and confocal microscopic features of candida keratitis after deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (dalk). patients and findings: the first patient presented with asymptomatic white to cream-colored interface deposits two months after dalk. confocal scan disclosed clusters of hyper-reflective fine granular deposits in the interface w...

During an earthquake, the better performance of segmental tunnel lining, compared to the continuous in-cast concrete lining, is generally related to the joints between segments. In order to better understand the influence of the segment joints, their effect on the internal forces induced in tunnel lining simultaneously with the effects of the other influential parameters should be considered. I...

Recent research in the area of Second Language Acquisition has proposed that bilinguals and L2 learners show syntactic indeterminacy when syntactic properties interface with other cognitive domains. Most of the research in this area has focused on the pragmatic use of syntactic properties while the investigation of compliance with a grammatical rule at syntax-related interfaces has not received...

Introduction: Permit-to-work system (PTW) system is a documented system to control the activities with inherent risks and probability of accident occurrence. To inform the performance and efficiency of a system, it must be periodically monitored and evaluated, and the permit to work system is no exception of this principle. The aim of the present study was to design and develop software for eva...

the built up layer thickness in secondary deformation zone is one of the important parameters in metal cutting process. the built up layer (bul) is formed in second deformation zone near the tool-chip interface in the back of the chip. this parameter influences the tool life and machined surface quality. this bul should not be confused with the built up edge (bue). the deformation of the bul in...

the fringes areas interposed between metropolis and territorial ecosystems constitute a new sort of geography of urban sprawl. the difference between urban areas and their surroundings is at present unrecognisable.from this new context, that represent a new life environment for a large part of human population, new perceptive dynamics and new relationships emerge. various social manifestations ...

We present an extension to Tcl which realizes a generic interface to an object-oriented database system.1 This interface provides flexible access to the database system by drawing on Tk/Tcl’s ability as a scripting language promoting rapid prototyping and the development of graphical user interfaces. Ongoing work investigates the suitability of the interface as a means for application developme...
