purpose: to compare the tono-pen and schiotz tonometers in measurement of intraocular pressure (iop) in patients with primary congenital glaucoma. methods: this study was conducted on 38 eyes of 20 patients with primary congenital glaucoma. all measurements were performed under general anesthesia. one minute after receiving halothane 3% iop was determined by tono-pen and then by schiotz tonomet...

This paper aims to examine whether expectations of the student experience have an impact on student loyalty that is mediated by expectations of study outcomes at their university. To achieve this, a 15-minute pen and paper survey was self-administered to a convenience sample of students at a major university in Western Australia. The total sample size was 400 students, with 200 students each dr...

Insulin is a high-alert medication in both inpatient and outpatient settings. Insulin can cause significant harm when administered in error. Despite advancements in insulin pen technology, errors in the administration technique remain an issue. Although various factors can contribute to administration errors, lack of education on how to operate these devices is one of the most common reasons th...

Representations suchas free-bodyand circuit diagramsare central to engineeringpractice andproficiency.Developing and using representations is an essential skill that engineering students need to learn. In this paperwe present a case study of the use of pen-based computing to improve representational literacy through dynamic knowledge construction and management activities among engineering stud...

Results Of the 3,789 participants sent a 60-month questionnaire in the pen group, 3,500 (92.4%) returned it compared with 3,462/3,793 (91.3%) in the control group (OR 1.16, 95% CI 0.98 to 1.37, p=0.08). There was evidence of a reduction of the number of reminders required (p=0.02) and the time taken to respond (p=0.01) in the pen group. Some difference was found in the completeness of the prima...

The reactions of an S-bridged trinuclear palladium(II) complex, [Pd(3)(D-pen-N,O,S)(3)] (D-H(2)pen = D-penicillamine), with ethylenediamine (en) and racemic (R,R/S,S) 1,2-cyclohexanediamine (chxn) in water gave mononuclear palladium(II) complexes, [Pd(D-pen-N,S)(en)] (1) and [Pd(D-pen-N,S)(chxn)] (2), respectively. Of two diastereomers, [Pd(D-pen-N,S)(R,R-chxn)] (2(R)) and [Pd(D-pen-N,S)(S,S-ch...

Abstract The temperature-dependent molecular orientation variation of pentacene (PEN) on a graphene-covered substrate (PEN/Gr) was investigated via p-polarized multiple-angle incidence resolution spectrometry (pMAIRS). temperature regime the transition PEN/Gr different from that PEN/SiO 2 . collective barrier (COB), an energy molecules need to overcome form standing orientation, estimated pMAIR...

Salinity of soil is a major abiotic stress limiting the crop production and growth of safflower. To mitigate stress, the effects of penconazole (PEN) on the growth of safflower were studied to understand the underlying mechanisms of salt tolerance. PEN, a triazole derivative, which has both fungicidal and plant growth regulator properties, protects plants from several types of abiotic stresses....
