There has been no perimetric index or scoring method available to quantify both glaucomatous and neuro-ophthalmic threshold field defects on a continuum, with emphasis on neuronal correlates and presumed damage. The absolute-relative-total scotoma (ARTS) scoring algorithm identifies the percentage of absolute, relative and total scotoma components of static threshold perimetric results. ARTS sc...

Monopile response under undrained conditions in sand is gaining increasing interests owing to the recent development of offshore wind farms seismic regions. Pore pressure evolution liquefiable soil can significantly reduce strength and stiffness which turn affects structural dynamic response. Several numerical models have been developed last two decades enhance understanding mechanism monopile–...

the wiener index w(g) of a connected graph g is defined as the sum of the distances betweenall unordered pairs of vertices of g. the eccentricity of a vertex v in g is the distance to avertex farthest from v. in this paper we obtain the wiener index of a graph in terms ofeccentricities. further we extend these results to the self-centered graphs.

The objective of the present paper is to theoretically investigate the steady-state performance characteristics of journal bearing of finite width, operating with micropolar lubricant in a turbulent regime. In this analysis, the turbulent shear stress coefficients are used based on the Constantinescu’s turbulent model suggested by Taylor and Dowson with the assumption of parallel and inertia-le...

Increment thresholds were measured over a range of adapting illuminances using a modified automated static perimeter. The data were fitted to a threshold versus intensity model (logT - logT(0) + log((A + A(0))/A(0))n) and the values logT(0) and logA(0) estimated. The effect of eccentricity and age on logT(0) and logA(0) was examined in normal subjects. A small group of patients with ocular dise...

Motion direction sensitivity in glaucoma patients, glaucoma suspects and controls was assessed perimetrically at 22 visual field locations using small random dot kinematograms and a motion coherence task. For foveal stimulus presentations, mean motion coherence sensitivity was normal in both patient groups. However, nearly all glaucoma patients and about half of glaucoma suspects (all with norm...

The paper presents the static, free vibration and buckling analyses of eccentrically stiffened plates by the cell-based smoothed discrete shear gap method (CS-FEM-DSG3) using triangular elements. In this method, the original plate element CS-DSG3 is combined with a membrane element and stiffened by a thick beam element. The eccentricity between the plate and the beam is included in the formulat...

The prediction and prevention of traumatic brain injury, spinal injury and musculo-skeletal injury is a very important aspect of preventive medical science. Recently, in a series of papers [1, 2, 3], I have proposed a new coupled loading-rate hypothesis as a unique cause of all above injuries. This new hypothesis states that the main cause of all mechanical injuries is a Euclidean Jolt, which i...

− In order to improve the metrological characteristics of the 110 kN INTI primary Force Standard Machine (FSM), an evaluation of the parasitic components that could rise for misalignments and structural deformations, is useful. The values of the parasitic components in static and dynamic conditions were determined by using the sixcomponent dynamometer property of CENAM. On the basis of the mult...

Eccentricity detection is a crucial issue for highspeed rotating machinery, which concerns the stability and safety of the machinery. Conventional techniques in industry for eccentricity detection are mainly based on measuring certain physical indicators, which are costly and hard to deploy. In this paper, we propose RED, a non-intrusive, low-cost, and realtime RFID-based eccentricity detection...
