Glaucoma is a chronic eye disease that leads to vision loss. As it cannot be cured, detecting the disease in time is important. Current tests using Intra Ocular Pressure (IOP) are not sensitive enough for population based glaucoma screening. Optic nerve head assessment in retinal fundus images is both more promising and superior. The method to segment optic disc and optic cup using Simple Linea...

BACKGROUND There is not any data available about the effect of high bar pressure condition on intracranial pressure. In this study, the effect of diving on the optic nerve and sheath diameters as non-invasive markers of intracranial pressure has been investigated. METHODS Twenty professional male divers from twenty one volunteers were chosen for this cross-sectional study. Only one person who...

We demonstrate a novel electro-optic swept source for wavenumber-linear interferometric sensing and imaging applications. The electro-optic swept source based on an acousto-optic tunable filter (AOTF) provides high environmental stability and arbitrary drive function sweeping because the electro-optic wavelength selection does not depend on a mechanical moving component to tune the output lasin...

this paper presents a new numerical method for solution of eikonal equation in two dimensions.in contrast to the previously developed methods which try to define the solution surface by its level sets(contour curves), the developed methodology identifies the solution surface by resorting to its characteristics. the suggested procedure is based on the geometric properties of the solution surface...

in this paper, the dynamic simulation for a high pressure regulator is performed to obtain the regulator behavior. to analyze the regulator performance, the equation of motion for inner parts, the continuity equation for diverse chambers and the equation for mass flow rate were derived. because of nonlinearity and coupling, these equations are solved using numerical methods and the results are ...

carbon sequestration into plants biomass, especially in fast growing trees is an easier and economically way for dropping off co2 from atmosphere. this study was carried out in order to investigate above-ground biomass of white poplar (populous alba, l.) plantations that was planted in fourdifferent plant spacing (0.5 × 0.5, 1×1, 2×2 and 4×4 m.) in chaharmahal and bakhtiari province in west of ...

bankruptcy is an event with strong impacts on management, shareholders, employees, creditors, customers and other stakeholders, so as bankruptcy challenges the country both socially and economically. therefore, correct prediction of bankruptcy is of high importance in the financial world. this research intends to investigate financial crisis prediction power using models based on neural network...

abstract in current study, an irrigation examination and acquisition of environmental water in kor-river fields, that is dominated from doroudzan dam to bakhtegan lake, was done by an integrated economy-environmental model. the model was considered by economic, hydrologic and agronomic components. in the economic component, an optimal harvesting of water was done using non-linear programming in...

PURPOSE To compare the optic disc parameters of glaucomatous eyes to those of non-glaucomatous eyes with large discs. METHODS We studied 225 consecutive eyes with large optic discs (>2.82 mm2): 91 eyes with glaucoma and 134 eyes without glaucoma. An eye was diagnosed with glaucoma when visual field defects were detected by the Humphrey Field Analyzer. All of the Heidelberg Retina Tomograph II...
