Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci. 2014;55:1386–1392. DOI: 10.1167/iovs.13-13340 PURPOSE. Test–retest variability (TRV) limits our ability to detect clinically significant changes in visual acuity (VA). We wanted to compare the effect of scor...

increasing incidence as a result of the longer lifespan, the increasing prevalence of degenerative diseases as well as the increase in injuries and stress associated with industrialized lifestyles. Both medical and surgical treatment modalities are available for treating sexual dysfunction. However, despite the increasing availability of effective conventional medical treatments, plant-derived ...

A room temperature hybrid electrolyte based lithium-sulfur cell was successfully cycled with an excellent coulombic efficiency of 100%. The initial discharge specific capacities of up to 1528 mA h g(-1), 1386 mA h g(-1) and 1341 mA h g(-1), respectively, at C/20, C/5 and C/2 rates were realized and remained at 720 mA h g(-1) after 40 cycles at the C/5 rate.

Here we prove a probabilistic contraction mapping principle in Menger spaces. This is in line with research in fixed point theory using control functions which was initiated by Khan et al. [Bull. Austral. Math. Soc., 30(1984), 1-9] in metric spaces and extended by Choudhury et al. [Acta Mathematica Sinica, 24(8) (2008), 1379-1386] in probabilistic metric spaces. An example has also been constru...
