Aims: Clinically, picture acuity tests are thought to overestimate visual acuity (VA) compared with letter tests, but this has not been systematically investigated in children with amblyopia. This study compared VA measurements with the LogMAR Crowded Kay Picture test to the LogMAR Crowded Keeler Letter acuity test in a group of young children with amblyopia. Methods: 58 children (34 male) with...

It is well known that contractive representations of the disk algebra are completely contractive. Let A denote the subalgebra of the disk algebra consisting of those functions f for which f ′(0) = 0. We prove that there are contractive representations of A which are not completely contractive, and furthermore characterize those contractive representations which are completely contractive.

In years to come, few of us will remember what we were doing on the 6 June 2013, but Jessica Meir will never forget the day when she answered a call and heard Janet Kavandi, Director of Flight Crew Operations at the NASA Johnson Space Center, say, 'Jessica, second time is a charm'. Not only had her life changed forever but also her lifelong dream had finally come true. Kavandi was calling to te...

Some new limit contractive conditions in fuzzy metric spaces are introduced, by using property (E.A), some common fixed point theorems for four maps are proved in GV-fuzzy metric spaces. As an application of our results, some new contractive conditions are presented, and some common fixed point theorems are proved under these contractive conditions. The contractive conditions presented in this ...
