OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between silent reading performance and visual field defects in patients with glaucoma using an eye tracking system. METHODS Fifty glaucoma patients (Group G; mean age, 52.2 years, standard deviation: 11.4 years) and 20 normal controls (Group N; mean age, 46.9 years; standard deviation: 17.2 years) were included in the study. All participants in Group ...

An approach to the Shannon and Rényi entropy maximization problems with constraints on the mean and law invariant deviation measure for a random variable has been developed. The approach is based on the representation of law invariant deviation measures through corresponding convex compact sets of nonnegative concave functions. A solution to the problem has been shown to have an alpha-concave d...

the linguistic is studying the language different levels, the language is main topic  that the linguistic sisstu dying it. the linguistics has several branches,the stylistics is one of its branches that survey literary works. and stylistic phenomenon is one of the important phenomen as at linguistic studies and it study poetic language because it’s different from the common language. since the ...

The state-of-the-art pooling strategies for perceptual image quality assessment (IQA) are based on the mean and the weighted mean. They are robust pooling strategies which usually provide a moderate to high performance for different IQAs. Recently, standard deviation (SD) pooling was also proposed. Although, this deviation pooling provides a very high performance for a few IQAs, its performance...

Introduction: Glaucoma is considered as a major cause of irreversible vision loss, worldwide. Glaucoma includes a diverse ophthalmopathies characterized by attenuating the neural and connective tissue segments and eventually progression of specific patterns of visual dysfunction. Currently, perimetry is known as the most accurate diagnostic method in glaucoma and its follow up...

Reference ranges Most tests used in clinical medicine give a numerical result on a continuous measurement scale. Pathologists or clinicians attempt to interpret the result by comparing it with a "reference range" previously calculated from a study of people who do not have the disease in question. By current convention, the reference range includes all but the top and bottom 2 5% of the results...
