PURPOSE To evaluate the functional outcome and macular index in patients with macular hole who underwent surgery with internal limiting membrane removal. METHODS Fifteen eyes of 15 patients with idiopathic macular hole stages 2, 3 or 4 were enrolled in this study. All patients underwent conventional macular hole surgery with trypan blue staining to remove the internal limiting membrane. The b...

The objectivity of black hole entropy is discussed in the particular case of a Schwarzchild black hole. Using Jaynes' maximum entropy formalism and Euclidean path integral evaluation of partition function , it is argued that in the semiclassical limit when the fluctutation of metric is neglected, the black hole entropy of a Schwarzchild black hole is equal to the maximal information entropy of ...

A hole spin is a potential solid-state q-bit, that may be more robust against nuclear spin induced dephasing than an electron spin. Here we propose and demonstrate the sequential preparation, control and detection of a single hole spin trapped on a self-assembled InGaAs/GaAs quantum dot. The dot is embedded in a photodiode structure under an applied electric-field. Fast, triggered, initializati...

A toy model for the Blandford-Znajek mechanism is investigated: a Kerr black hole with a toroidal electric current residing in a thin disk around the black hole in the equatorial plane. The toroidal electric current generates a poloidal magnetic field threading the black hole and disk. The rotation of the black hole and disk relative to the magnetic field induces an electromotive force, which c...

Abstract

We report a case of spontaneous closure of stage-II macular hole. A 66 years old lady presented with decreased vision in her left eye for the last 3 months. Her vision was 6/18 in right eye and finger counting at 3 feet in left eye. Optical coherence tomography showed stage-II macular hole in left eye. There was attachment of vitreous at the edge of the hole. Minimal hole diameter was 119 μ. Ma...

Each of two parts has K coordination holes with the intent that each hole on onepart is paired and to be pinned with a corresponding hole on the other part. Whilethe nominal hole centers for each hole pair are identical, the actual hole centers willdeviate from their nominal values in some random fashion reflecting the inherent holecentering accuracy of the drilling process....
