Given saturation with complex geometric forms and objects architecture different styles epochs, authors considered it important to study issue perception by population as generator natural influences sense organs. subject is influence archi...

Liquid chromatography combined with mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis has been successfully employed in proteome research. Data generated from LC-MS equipments usually comes with a considerable amount of noise. Thus, there is a need for the use of filters to enhance the quality of mass spectrometry chromatograms. An algorithm developed recently (CODA[2]) achieves good results in removing noise...

INTRODUCTION Primary ectatic corneal diseases usually require rigid gas-permeable (RGP) corneal contact lens wear for visual rehabilitation. As the disease progresses, it becomes increasingly difficult to fit these lenses. RGP scleral contact lenses now provide another treatment option before resorting to surgery. CLINICAL PICTURE Two patients with pellucid marginal degeneration and one with ...

We investigated whether there is a correlation between the comfort felt by occupants and estimated from biological information obtained experiments to improve ride quality of an ultra-compact vehicle. A single frequency in vertical direction can help estimate occupant comfort. However, we hypothesized that study was insufficient. oscillated with vibrations containing multiple vibration frequenc...

This paper's main issue is a strong advocacy in favour of an a priori classification of thermal environments that can be really functional to comfort assessment: Class 1, environments where comfort conditions can be established (comfort-prone environments), and Class 2, environments where this is not practically feasible. The former, which are also identified here as 'thermally unconstrained' e...

Searching for the performance bottleneck in an execution trace is an error prone and time consuming activity. Existing tools offer some comfort by providing a visual representation of trace for analysis. In this paper we present the Stethoscope, an interactive visual tool to inspect and analyze columnar database query performance, both online and offline. It’s unique interactive animated interf...

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging plays an essential role in the diagnosis and treatment of macular diseases, including those of the vitreomacular interface. OCT enables accurate diagnosis and differentiation of full thickness macular hole, lamellar macular hole and epiretinal membrane, with or without the presence of vitreomacular adhesion. This information enables earlier diagnosis a...

Panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) is a standard treatment for proliferative diabetic retinopathy. Conventional laser (CL) therapy is performed in one or more sessions in single spot mode. Visual disabilities have been reported after treatment with CL, including central vision loss due to macular edema and peripheral visual field loss resulting from extensive inner retinal scarring. Multispot la...

Activity and photoergonomic analysis was carried out on 21 VDTs, while the operators were performing usual VDT tasks, at three computer centres in Bombay. Studies confirmed that failure to apply the knowledge of ergonomics to the design of workstations results in unnecessary fatigue and discomfort. Among the various factors which contribute to the efficiency, comfort and well-being of operators...
