in order to investigate the effect of adding fennel powder (foeniculum vulgare) in starter diet on performance, immunity system and biometric parameters of holstein calves, 30 holstein calves (15 males and 15 females) with birth weight of 40±0.5 kg were used in a completely randomized design. experimental diets were: 1. starter without fennel powder (control), 2. starter containing 0.4% fennel ...

PURPOSE To investigate the association with ocular biometric parameters in myopia-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the gap junction protein delta 2 (GJD2), insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF1) and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) genes in two geographically different Chinese cohorts. METHODS In 814 unrelated Han Chinese individuals aged above 50 years including 362 inland res...

BACKGROUND To measure the anterior and posterior ocular biometric characteristics concurrently and to determine the relationship between the iris and choroid in healthy Chinese subjects. METHODS A total of 148 subjects (270 eyes) were enrolled in this cross-section study. The anterior and posterior ocular biometric characteristics were measured simultaneously by anterior segment optical coher...

PURPOSE To compare ocular biometric parameters in primary angle closure suspects (PACS), primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) and acute primary angle closure (APAC). METHODS This cross-sectional study was performed on 113 patients including 33 cases of PACS, 45 patients with PACG and 35 subjects with APAC. Central corneal thickness (CCT), axial length (AL), anterior chamber depth (ACD) and l...

This study is designed to investigate the relationship between macular pigment optical density (MPOD) and ocular biometric parameters. The following details were recorded for 180 healthy subjects: demographic profile; best-corrected visual acuity; refractive status; ocular biometric parameters [axial length (AL), anterior chamber depth (ACD), lens thickness (LT) and vitreous chamber depth (VCD)...

PURPOSE To create a binocular statistical eye model based on previously measured ocular biometric data. METHODS Thirty-nine parameters were determined for a group of 127 healthy subjects (37 male, 90 female; 96.8% Caucasian) with an average age of 39.9 ± 12.2 years and spherical equivalent refraction of -0.98 ± 1.77 D. These parameters described the biometry of both eyes and the subjects' age...

This paper investigates a new approach to formulate performance indices of biometric system using information theoretic models. The performance indices proposed here (unlike conventionally used FAR, GAR, DET etc.) are scalable in estimating performance of large scale biometric system. This work proposes a framework for identification capacity of a biometric system, along with insights on number...
