PURPOSE Herpes keratitis (HK) is the leading cause of cornea-derived and infection-associated blindness in the developed world. Despite the availability of effective antivirals, some patients develop refractory disease, drug-resistant infection, and topical toxicity. A nonpharmaceutical treatment modality may offer a unique advantage in the management of such cases. This study investigated the ...

Transient microwave brightenings (TMBs) are small-scale energy releases from the periphery of sunspot umbrae, with a flux density two orders of magnitude smaller than that from a typical flare. Gopalswamy et al (1994) first reported the detection of the TMBs and it was pointed out that the radio emission implied a region of very high magnetic field so that the emission mechanism has to be gyror...

A multi-wavelength study of radio and IR emission from the nearby galaxy M33 is presented. We focus on three main topics: 1) energy sources of IR emission and its correlation with radio continuum emission at different spatial scales, 2) separation of thermal and nonthermal components of the radio continuum emission without assuming a constant nonthermal spectral index, and 3) distribution of th...
