INTRODUCTION Refractive error is a common cause of amblyopia. OBJECTIVE To determine prevalence of amblyopia and the pattern and the types of refractive error in children with amblyopia in a tertiary eye hospital of Nepal. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective chart review of children diagnosed with amblyopia in the Nepal Eye Hospital (NEH) from July 2006 to June 2011 was conducted. Childre...

Purpose – In order to achieve excellence in manufacturing, goals like lean, economic and quality production with enhanced productivity play a crucial role in this competitive environment. It also necessitates major improvements in generally three primary technical areas: variation reduction, equipment reliability, and production scheduling. Complexity of the real world scheduling problems also ...

OBJECTIVE To determine the disease pattern of 400 patients attending Nepal Eye Hospital for strategic planning. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective hospital based analysis of 400 cases visiting Retina Clinic of Nepal Eye Hospital (NEH) over a period of one year was carried out in order to know the disease pattern for planning purpose. RESULTS Males slightly outnumbered females (58% versus...

We examine the existence of stable bound states of some diatomic molecular ions where the neutral molecule itself is either unbound or barely bound. Two bound states have been found for the HeH ion even though HeH is known to be unbound. We have found no bound states for He2 2 even though He2 is known to have one bound state. The predicted binding energies for HeH are of the order of 1 K and de...

In 1991 the Society of American Archivists (SAA) received a $600,609 grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Division of Preservation and Access to launch the SAA Preservation Management Training Program (PMTP). This is the largest grant the NEH has awarded to a professional association for continuing education programming. The PMTP was a three-year nationwide program in whic...

This essay reflects on our experiences in directing four National Endowment for the Humanities Summer Seminars K–12 teachers The Canterbury Tales, and value of basing these London. In light political pressures that led NEH to require now be conducted United States, we encourage American colleagues propose Chaucer at U.S. locations.

National Endowment for the Humanities and other donors. According to CSC director Werner Kelber, “Professor Handelman was selected as the fourth NEH Distinguished Visiting Scholar in recognition of her notable contribution to integrating Jewish religious thought into the modern humanities and to tracing plausible links between the Rabbinic interpretive tradition and several influential schools ...

A discrete bat algorithm (DBA) is proposed for optimal permutation flow shop scheduling problem (PFSP). Firstly, the discrete bat algorithm is constructed based on the idea of basic bat algorithm, which divide whole scheduling problem into many subscheduling problems and then NEH heuristic be introduced to solve subscheduling problem. Secondly, some subsequences are operated with certain probab...
