Program Number: 6099 Presentation Time: 11:00 AM–11:15 AM Functional Consequences of Fixational Eye Movements in People with Macular Disease Susana T. Chung, Girish Kumar. Optometry, UC Berkeley, Berkeley, CA. Purpose: A recent theory posits that slow-drifts of fixational eye movements (FEMs) serve to reformat the visual input of natural images, so that the amplitude of the spatial frequencies ...

Canonical correlations are used to decompose the Wiener filter into a whitening transform coder, a canonical filter, and a coloring transform decoder. The outputs of the whitening transform coder are called canonical coordinates; these are the coordinates that are reduced in rank and quantized in our finite-precision version of the Gauss–Markov theorem. Canonical correlations are, in fact, cosi...

High aspect-ratio (HAR) micropillar arrays are important for many applications including, mechanical sensors and actuators, tunable wetting surfaces and substrates for living cell studies. However, due to their mechanical compliance and large surface area, the micropillars are susceptible to deformation due to surface forces, such as adhesive force and capillary force. In this thesis we have ex...

Tooth bleaching (whitening) is one of the most common and inexpensive method for treating discolouration of teeth. Dental aesthetics, especially tooth colour, is of great importance to majority of the people; and discolouration of even a single tooth can negatively influence the quality of life. Therefore, a review of the literature was carried out (limited to aesthetic tooth-bleaching) to prov...

Non-equidistance grey model NGM(1,1) which was proposed by Deng has emerged as a powerful tool for the prediction and analysis of non-equidistance data series under uncertain system. It carries out the system analysis and prediction based on accumulated generating operation (AGO) to reduce the randomness of original series and obtain high accuracy. But the AGO only used observed whitening data,...

In this letter, we conduct a comparative study and investigate the relationship between two well-known techniques in hyperspectral image detection and classification: orthogonal subspace projection (OSP) and constrained energy minimization (CEM). It is shown that they are closely related and essentially equivalent provided that the noise is white with large SNR. Based on this relationship, the ...

A 75-year-old man presented to us with sudden onset of profound vision loss in his right eye and was identified as suffering from an ophthalmic artery occlusion. Apart from the retinal whitening and box-carring of the retinal arteries, there were characteristic triangular patches of retinal whitening in the midperipheral temporal fundus indicating a previous lateral posterior choroidal artery o...
