KNOWLEDGE of the means by which substances enter and leave the eye, usually referred to as " aqueous-humour dynamics ", is essential for an understanding of the factors contributing to the control of the intra-ocular pressure. In non-living systems, when a membrane separates two concentrations of a substance in a solution to which the membrane is permeable, this substance travels across the mem...

The lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) activity of the aqueous humour has been estimated in both eyes of 7 patients having uniocular retinoblastoma. In 1 patient the aqueous humour LDH activity in the healthy eye was above normal, but there was no clinical evidence of malignancy. Tumour tissue was detected in this eye 9 months later, and the aqueous humour showed a rise in LDH activity. A high LDH acti...

This paper explores humour recognition for Twitter-based hashtag games. Given their popularity, frequency, and relatively formulaic nature, these games make a good target for computational humour research and can leverage Twitter likes and retweets as humour judgments. In this work, we use pairwise relative humour judgments to examine several measures of semantic relatedness between setups and ...

This study focuses on the conceptions and practices of Iberian (Portuguese Spanish) mathematics teachers regarding instructional humour. Specifically, aims to answer following questions: (1) How do view humour how they appreciate a sense humour? (2) What educational value ascribe in teaching learning process this subject? (3) use teaching? (4) differences, its context, are found among teachers,...

This thesis represents an attempt to show how recent research in pragmatic theory can contribute to our understanding of humour. Two inferential theories have been selected: speech act theory and relevance theory. In addition, I have looked at the modification of the speech act model proposed by Leech. An exposition of each theory is followed by an account of how these theories can be applied t...

Swift, P. G. F., Worthy, E., and Emery, J. L. (1974). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 49, 680. Biochemical state of the vitreous humour of infants at necropsy. Biochemical analysis of the vitreous humour in 80 infants brought to necropsy, including 18 in whom terminal plasma levels were known, indicates that sodium and urea levels closely reflect ante-mortem plasma values. With increasing tim...

The time will come when diligent research over long periods will bring to light things that now lie hidden. There will come a time when our descendants will be amazed that we did not know things that are so plain to them. Many discoveries are reserved for ages still to come, when memory of us will have been effaced. Our universe is a sorry little affair unless it has in it something for every a...
