AIM To determine the surgically induced astigmatism (SIA) in Straight, Frown and Inverted V shape (Chevron) incisions in manual small incision cataract surgery (SICS). METHODS A prospective cross sectional study was done on a total of 75 patients aged 40y and above with senile cataract. The patients were randomly divided into three groups (25 each). Each group received a particular type of in...

Conventional cooperative protein folding invokes discrete ensembles of native and denatured state structures in separate free-energy wells. Unimodal noncooperative ("downhill") folding, however, proposes an ensemble of states occupying a single free-energy well for proteins folding at >/=4 x 10(4) s(-1) at 298 K. It is difficult to falsify unimodal mechanisms for such fast folding proteins by s...

O presente trabalho pretende investigar a possibilidade de o princípio da deferência, conforme doutrina Chevron, ser utilizado como um instrumento freio às hipóteses controle discricionariedade do mérito administrativo pelo Poder Judiciário, servindo, assim, por corolário, mitigador ativismo judicial, bem balizador equilíbrio entre os poderes. Para tanto, será analisada evolução histórica papel...

The effect of shear flow on the phase behavior, structure formation and morphology of a near-critical composition blend of poly(styreneco-acrylonitrile)/poly(methyl methacrylate) (SAN/PMMA) and an off-critical composition blend of SAN/poly(1-caprolactone) (SAN/PCL) were investigated. Both blends exhibited lower critical solution temperature (LCST) behavior. Rheo-SALS (small angle light scatteri...

16 isolates of fusarium culmorum obtained from washington, north dakota and minnesota were tested for pathogenicity on five cultivars and lines: chevron, ci 9549, excel, karl, larker, morex, robust, m48, m66 and m69 were evaluated for reaction to the mixture of all isolates of the pathogen under field condition. the results of glasshouse test indicated that the isolates 10, 25 and 27 were the m...
