The authors herein report the feasibility of suprachoroidal buckling (SCB) procedure as a new approach for treating different forms of retinal detachment (RD) by creating suprachoroidal indentation (buckling effect). With this technique, specially designed devices, i.e. a catheter or cannula, are guided in the suprachoroidal space to reach the target area. Then, a suprachoroidal filler (long la...

From the late 1970s up to the end of 2001, households’ perspectives on current and future price developments were surveyed by Statistics Sweden (SCB, the Swedish acronym). As of 2002 the survey has been taken over by Growth from Knowledge (GfK), an international market research company. Before the changeover, in November and December 2001, GfK undertook surveys alongside SCB’s regular surveys. ...

As the extreme climate crisis increases, sustainable development is at forefront of public mind. However, as one major catalysts development, consumer behavior (SCB) still not being adopted by mainstream consumers. Therefore, this study attempted to find a new way encourage behaviors. Based on identity theory, environment value research, and marketing practice, three important factors relevant ...

In many areas of application, especially life testing and reliability, it is often of interest to estimate an unknown cumulative distribution (cdf). A simultaneous confidence band (SCB) of the cdf can be used to assess the statistical uncertainty of the estimated cdf over the entire range of the distribution. Cheng and Iles (1983) presented a general approach of constructing an SCB for the cdf ...

[1] With eight islands, complex coastlines and bottom topography, strong wind curls, and frequent upwelling fronts, the Southern California Bight (SCB) is an area with strong eddy activity. By applying an automated eddy detection scheme to a 12 year high-resolution numerical product of the oceanic circulation in the SCB, a three-dimensional eddy data set is developed. It includes information fo...

The axonal transport of the diverse group of polypeptides characteristic of slow component b (SCb), or Group IV, may be accomplished either by a bulk flow mechanism acting on each of the individual polypeptides or by their movement through the axoplasm as part of a physical complex or structural assembly. In order to determine if the SCb polypeptides travel as a cohesive unit (which would be co...

Stormwater runoff plumes, municipal wastewater plumes, and natural hydrocarbon seeps are important pollution hazards for the heavily populated Southern California Bight (SCB). Due to their small size, dynamic and episodic nature, these hazards are difficult to sample adequately using traditional in situ oceanographic methods. Complex coastal circulation and persistent cloud cover can further co...

The distribution of the proteins migrating with the slow components a (SCa) and b (SCb) of axonal transport were studied in cross-sections of axons with electron microscope autoradiography. Radiolabeled amino acids were injected into the hypoglossal nucleus of rabbits and after 15 d, the animals were killed. Hypoglossal nerves were processed either for SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis flu...

The influences of short chain branching (SCB) and molecular (Mw) weight of low density polyethylene (LDPE) on the solid state properties of polypropylene (PP)-LDPE blends were investigated by mechanical and thermal techniques. DSC analysis of all blends exhibit a double melting peak at all compositions studied thus suggesting that both PP and LDPE crystals exist separately in the solid state. I...

Studies were carried out on the comparative study of the production of Avicelase enzyme using sugarcane bagasse-SCB in two different statuses (i.e. treated and untreated SCB) by thermophilic Geobacillus stearothermophilus at 50oC. Only four thermophilic bacterial isolates were isolated and assayed for Avicelase production using UntSCB and TSCB. Only one isolate selected as most potent and ident...
