Topographic analysis systems used to analyse the cornea profile have some limitations due to the aspheric nature of the cornea. In many cases the cornea is modelled by a spherocylindrical surface. However the normal cornea is aspheric and flattened from the center to the periphery. Moreover diseased and postsurgical corneas rarely approximate a spherocylindrical surface. Topographic analysis sy...

Introduction. The materials constituting the upper ~1 km of the northern plains and adjacent regions are likely composed of complex mixtures of erosional de-tritus overlying a variably cratered surface [1-3]. It remains problematic, however, to differentiate geo-logic, much less stratigraphic, contacts in the northern plains due to the homogenized nature of the surface materials. Though the emp...

Globally, grassland biomes form one of the largest terrestrial covers and present critical social–ecological benefits. In Kenya, Arid Semi-arid Lands (ASAL) occupy 80% landscape are for livelihoods millions pastoralists. However, they have been invaded by Invasive Plant Species (IPS) thereby compromising their ecosystem functionality. Opuntia stricta, a well-known IPS, has ASAL in Kenya poses t...
