introduction: aim of the study was to determine the efficacy of minor lateral tarsorrhaphy in conjunction with levator muscle recession in thyroid ophthalmopathic patients with severe lid retraction in order to correct the temporal flare in these patients methods: in a before-after clinical trial study, 22 eyelids of 12 patients with severe lid retraction underwent surgery by this method and th...

GRB050904 is very interesting since it is by far the most distant GRB event known to date (z = 6.29). It was reported that during the prompt high energy emission phase, a very bright optical flare was detected, and it was temporal coincident with an X-ray flare. Here we use two models to explain the optical flare, One is the “late internal shock model”, in which the optical flare is produced by...

The eye is convergent from the orbital axis when in the primary gaze position; greater projection of the lateral sclera results from the posterior location of the lateral orbital rim relative to the medial orbital rim. If the horizontal tarsal ligamentous band cannot lengthen to accommodate an increasingly exophthalmic globe in thyroid ophthalmopathy, a horizontally tight eyelid with increased ...

Mkn 421 was repeatedly observed with BeppoSAX in 1997–1998. We present highlights of the results of the thorough temporal and spectral analysis discussed by Fossati et al. (1999) and Maraschi et al. (1999), focusing on the flare of April 1998, which was simultaneously observed also at TeV energies. The detailed study of the flare in different energy bands reveals a few very important new result...

In the seL4 microkernel and other capability-based OSs, the right to use resources is managed using abstract capabilities (i.e., tokens). Capability systems for fungible resources such as memory are well understood, but it has proven difficult to integrate time—i.e., real-time scheduling—into this model, since timeliness (i.e., system-wide schedulability) is a property that is inherently diffic...

A statistical analysis of almost 50 000 soft X-ray (SXR) flares observed by GOES during the period 1976–2000 is presented. On the basis of this extensive data set, statistics on temporal properties of soft X-ray flares, such as duration, rise and decay times with regard to the SXR flare classes is presented. Correlations among distinct flare parameters, i.e. SXR peak flux, fluence and character...
