We investigate impacts of massive neutrinos on the cosmic velocity fields, employing high-resolution cosmological $N$-body simulations provided by information-optimized CUBE code, where are evolved using collisionless hydrodynamics and their perturbations can be accurately resolved. In this study we focus, for first time, analysis massive-neutrino induced suppression effects in various field co...

BACKGROUND Contrast sensitivity measurement in UK clinical practice is most commonly performed with the Pelli-Robson chart. AIMS To compare the repeatability of two new contrast sensitivity charts and to measure their agreement with the Pelli-Robson charts. METHOD Contrast sensitivity was measured monocularly using two versions of the Mars letter contrast sensitivity chart, two presentation...
