Yager et al. first introduce compensatory operators. This paper further introduces a kind of weighted compensatory operators, and a kind of prioritised compensatory operators. The difference between these similar classes of operators are identified. In addition, the paper introduces the concepts of ordered weighted/prioritised compensatory aggregation. Keywords—Compensatory aggregation, weight,...

this article addresses the perceptual correlates of compensatory lengthening in persian. in a perception experiment, duration, spectral tilt measurements h1-h2 and h1-f1 and f0 were varied in several steps based on the results from a production experiment (sadeghi, 2007). subjects were asked to identify the tokens involving vowel length. results revealed that duration is the most reliable perce...

forty patients with cataracts, as well as 40 patients with proven ocular toxoplasmosis were enrolled in this prospective clinical study. serum igg and aqueous igg in both groups were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) and the corresponding ratios were calculated. serum igg/aqueous humor igg ratio was less than 100 in the patient group and more than 100 in the control group. o...

purpose: there are a few researches regarding the effects of islamic fasting on visual system. the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of ramadan fasting on the amplitude of accommodation (aa), near point of convergence (npc), positive and negative fusional vergences (pfv and nfv, respectively) in visually healthy fasters. methods: aa, npc, pfv and nfv at far (6m) and near (40cm) w...

cutaneous leishmaniasis (cl) is the most common parasitic disease transmitted by vectors in iran. cl is endemic in many urban and rural parts of iran and usually caused by two species of leishmania as l . major and l . tropica transmitted to humans from parasite reservoirs by the bite of female sandflies. we report a case of ocular leishmaniasis with eyelid involvement presentation. the patient...

purpose: to compare the efficacy of intravitreal clindamycin and dexamethasone with classic treatment for ocular toxoplasmosis. methods: in this prospective, randomized single-masked clinical trial a total of 68 patients with active ocular toxoplasmosis were assigned randomly to 2 treatment groups: 34 in the intravitreal clindamycin plus dexamethasone (ivcd) group and 34 in the classic treatmen...

purpose: to compare the effects of short-tem and long-term systemic corticosteroids in the treatment of confirmed ocular toxoplasmosis. methods: this randomized comparative clinical trial was performed on 69 patients with confirmed active ocular toxoplasmosis with typical clinical manifestations. the subjects were randomly assigned to receive either 10 days (group a, 33 cases) or 4-6 weeks (gro...

Randomized response (RR) models are often used for analysing univariate randomized response data and measuring population prevalence of sensitive behaviours. There is much empirical support for the belief that RR methods improve the cooperation of the respondents. Recently, RR models have been extended to measure individual unidimensional behaviour. An extension of this modelling framework is p...

Background: Thyroid-associated eye disease (TED), previously known as Graves’ ophthalmopathy is a cosmetically and functionally debilitating disease that is seen worldwide. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and clinical severity of ocular manifestations of Graves’ disease according to sex, age and duration in northern Iran.
