Intracorneal Ring Segments After Laser in situ Keratomileusis
Authors: Güell José L , Velasco Fortino , Sánchez Sergio I , Gris Oscar , Garcia-Rojas Miguel 
Published: December 2019

ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of intracorneal ring segments (ICRS) for correction of residual refractive error in patients previously operated with laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK).
METHODS: Thirteen postoperative LASIK eyes (eight patients) with residual myopic refractive error underwent implantation with INTACS (Keravision) intracorneal ring segments. Correction of the residual error was the first goal, but also improved best spectacle-corrected visual acuity was obtained by correcting residual irregular astigmatism.
RESULTS: Mean spherical equivalent refraction improved from -3.25 to +0.75 D and mean uncorrected visual acuity improved from 0.2 to 0.6 after ICRS insertion. Best spectacle-corrected visual acuity remained stable or improved; no eyes lost lines of corrected visual acuity. In one of the 13 eyes, the intracorneal ring segments were removed because of progressive stromal melting.
CONCLUSIONS: The use of corneal ring segments in selected eyes with residual myopic refractive errors after LASIK was safe and effective. [J Refract Surg 2004;20:349-355]
Monte Carlo Simulation of Irradiance Distribution on the Retina After Refractive Surgery
Authors: Canales Vidal F , Cagigal Manuel P 
Published: December 2019

ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: Generation of random wavefronts for ocular wave aberration statistics across the population has been used for various analyses. We propose a more accurate simulation procedure. This simulation technique is not intended to be a perfect representation of an eye, but instead is a tool for those applications where a correct distribution of aberrations across a population is necessary.
METHODS: Our technique consists of the generation of coefficients of the wavefront expansion into Zernike modes. The simulation makes use of the variance of every mode measured on a large population by using compact and reliable wavefront sensors.
RESULTS: The simulation procedure was verified by reproducing two statistical functions that characterize eye behavior. This tool can be used to predict the performance of sensing techniques and to evaluate the consequences of customized ophthalmic elements and refractive surgery. It may also be useful for deriving both first and second order photon statistics of the point-spread function on the human retina (a key parameter in certain visual perception models).
CONCLUSIONS: A new tool for analysis of customized refractive surgery is presented and the evolution of the light intensity probability density function on the retina with compensation attained after customized correction of the eye's aberrations is analyzed. [J Refract Surg 2004;20:384-390]

Published: December 2019

Abstract. Atmospheric gravity waves generated downstream by orography in a stratified airflow are known as lee waves. In the present study, such mesoscale patterns have been detected, over water and in clear-sky conditions, using the Advanced Infra-Red WAter Vapour Estimator (AIRWAVE) total column water vapour (TCWV) dataset, which contains about 20 years of day and night products, obtained from the thermal infrared measurements of the Along Track Scanning Radiometer (ATSR) instrument series. The high accuracy of such data, along with the native 1 km×1 km spatial resolution, allows the investigation of small-scale features such as lee waves. In this work, we focused on the Mediterranean Sea, the largest semi-enclosed basin on the Earth. The peculiarities of this area, which is characterised by complex orography and rough coastlines, lead to the development of these structures over both land and sea. We developed an automatic tool for the rapid detection of areas with high probability of lee wave occurrence, exploiting the TCWV variability in spatial regions with a 0.15∘×0.15∘ area. Through this analysis, several occurrences of structures connected with lee waves have been observed. The waves are detected in spring, autumn and summer seasons, with TCWV values usually falling in the range of 15 to 35 kg m−2. In this article, we describe some cases over the central (Italy) and the Eastern Mediterranean Basin (Greece, Turkey and Cyprus). We compared a case of perturbed AIRWAVE TCWV fields due to lee waves occurring over the Tyrrhenian Sea on 18 July 1997 with the sea surface winds from the synthetic aperture radar (SAR), which sounded the same geographical area, finding a good agreement. Another case has been investigated in detail: on 2 August 2002 the Aegean Sea region was almost simultaneously sounded by both the second sensor of the ATSR series (ATSR-2) and the Advanced ATSR (AATSR) instruments. The AIRWAVE TCWV fields derived from the two sensors were successfully compared with the vertically integrated water vapour content simulated with the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) numerical model for the same time period, confirming our findings. Wave parameters such as amplitude, wavelength and phase are described through the use of the Morlet continuous wavelet transformation (CWT). The performed analysis derived typical wavelengths from 6 to 8 km and amplitudes of up to 20 kg m−2.

Authors: Abdali Nona , Nobahar Monir , Ghorbani Raheb 
Published: December 2019

Background: Sleep disorders and fatigue in students may affect emotional intelligence, which is associated with increased risk of cognitive and mental disorders. The aim of this study was to determine sleep quality, fatigue, emotional intelligence, and related factors in Iranian medical students. Methods: This cross-sectional research was conducted in 2016. A total of 400 students were randomly selected from Semnan University of Medical Sciences. Data collection tools included questionnaires for demographic information, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and Bradbury-Graves's Emotional Intelligence Inventory and Multidimensional Fatigue Symptom Inventory-Short Form (MFSI-SF). Results: The quality of sleep was unsatisfactory for 38.5% students, 86.2% did not have general fatigue, and 13.8% were suffering from low overall fatigue. Moreover, 6% displayed low, 24% normal, and 70% high emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence showed a positive correlation with sleep quality (p = 0.044) and a negative correlation with general fatigue (p = 0.018). Sleep quality showed a negative correlation with general fatigue (p < 0.001). Conclusion: This study demonstrated a significant relationship between sleep quality and fatigue with emotional intelligence and a significant relationship between sleep quality and fatigue.
Juleavslutninger i skolen
Authors: Øverlien Mina , Kjørven Ole Kolbjørn 
Published: December 2019

I denne artikkelen rapporteres det fra en kvalitativ studie om juleavslutninger ved en norsk barneskole. Basert på observasjoner og lærerintervjuer undersøker den hvordan juleavslutninger foregår og hvilke refleksjoner de ansvarlige lærerne har om deres betydning og rolle som fellesarrangement. Observasjonene viser at arrangementet involverer alle elevene, og lærerintervjuene gjenspeiler en utelukkende positiv lærergruppe. Men til tross for full elevdeltakelse og lærernes opplevelse av juleavslutningen som viktig felleskapsarena, viser dataene at det er verdt å rette også et kritisk blikk på arrangementet. I et inkluderingsperspektiv vil vi fremheve to funn: 1. Assimilerende praksis. 2. Humorpreget formidling av religiøst innhold. Artikkelen diskuterer til slutt hvilken betydning disse funnene har for oppfatningen av skolens juleavslutning som inkluderende fellesarrangement.
Temaord: Juleavslutning, fellesarrangement, inkludering, religion i skolen.

Published: December 2019

Les plateformes collaboratives d’observation de la biodiversité, couplées à des référentiels taxonomiques numériques, permettent désormais de générer automatiquement des listes d’espèces et/ou atlas de répartition à diverses échelles tant temporelles que géographiques. Nous questionnons ici la fiabilité d’une telle liste d’espèces en prenant comme point de départ la pré-liste taxonomique des Mollusques de la région du Grand-Est générée à partir des données d’occurrences disponibles dans le Système d’Information sur la Nature et les Paysages (SINP) et du réferentiel associé TAXREF. Nous montrons que le taux de recouvrement entre cette pré-liste qui cite 233 taxons terminaux et celle élaborée par les auteurs de cet article est de l’ordre de 90 %. Les différences sont liées à 60,7 % à de fausses-absences, à 32,1 % à de fausses-présences et à 7,2 % à des traitements taxonomiques différents. Au final, nous documentons la présence de 241 taxons terminaux dont 156 Gastéropodes terrestres, 46 Gastéropodes aquatiques et 39 Bivalves. Nous montrons que plus de 40 % des espèces de Mollusque nécessitent une approche conjointe morpho-anatomique pour une identification fiable. C’est pourquoi, cette liste de référence dite fonctionnelle a mis l’accent, pour certains taxons, sur les critères spécifiques estimés comme stables et sur le niveau de difficulté lors de l’identification, et ce, afin de tenter d’homogénéiser l’implémentation des données d’occurrence et/ou de leur évaluation a posteriori. Nous recommandons que les données primaires enregistrées dans les bases de données collaboratives fassent référence à des spécimens déposés dans des collections publiques, aux caractères spécifiques observés et par la transmission de photographie(s) de bonnes qualités.
The Rise and Fall of an Ontario Business Dynasty: William Kennedy & Sons and its successors, 1857-1997
Authors: Fleming Keith R. 
Published: December 2019

Between 1857 and 1951, the Owen Sound firm of William Kennedy & Sons was transformed by three successive generations of the Kennedy family into a dynasty. As a supplier of industrial equipment to the agricultural, milling, mining, railway, marine, hydro-electric, and pulp and paper sectors across Canada and internationally, “Kennedy's” became a model of entrepreneurialism despite challenging the conventional wisdom that success depended upon economies of scale generated by product specialization. Originally, Kennedy's strength was its owners' determination to harness their craftsmen's ingenuity in making a plethora of products. After it became a branch plant of multinational corporations and was forced to focus increasingly on a single product line, the firm commenced a protracted and ignominious slide ending in bankruptcy in 1997. The history of William Kennedy & Sons is a rare account of how a medium-sized manufacturer conducted business over 140 years. It also provides a revealing look at the entrepreneurial spirit behind the creation of a once imposing, but now much diminished, industrial Ontario.
Number 22 Internment Camp
Authors: Goodlet Kirk W. 
Published: December 2019

This article investigates the development of internment operations at Camp M in Mimico, Ontario, from 1940 to 1944. Using a variety of archival sources, this study sheds light on one of the only camps built near a major Canadian city during the Second World War, and one that remains recondite to most Canadians. From its inception Camp M suffered from a series of administrative, organizational, and personnel issues, which exacerbated operations. This was compounded by severe infrastructure problems that led to its expeditious closing in July 1944. Today both provincial and federal governments are constructing a 1,650-person “superjail” on the very site that once housed over 500 German POWs. This article, therefore, serves to inform further discussion about the past and present utility of the site.
Charge and hydrophobicity are key features in sequence-trained machine learning models for predicting the biophysical properties of clinical-stage antibodies
Authors: Hebditch Max , Warwicker Jim 
Published: December 2019

Improved understanding of properties that mediate protein solubility and resistance to aggregation are important for developing biopharmaceuticals, and more generally in biotechnology and synthetic biology. Recent acquisition of large datasets for antibody biophysical properties enables the search for predictive models. In this report, machine learning methods are used to derive models for 12 biophysical properties. A physicochemical perspective is maintained in analysing the models, leading to the observation that models cluster largely according to charge (cross-interaction measurements) and hydrophobicity (self-interaction methods). These two properties also overlap in some cases, for example in a new interpretation of variation in hydrophobic interaction chromatography. Since the models are developed from differences of antibody variable loops, the next stage is to extend models to more diverse protein sets.

Authors: Chaudhary Asha , Ahlawat T. R. , Kumar Sanjeev , Jena Suchismita , Patel Dharmishtha 
Published: December 2019

Aims: To investigate the effect of storage treatments, gibberellic acid (GA3) and duration of soaking on seed germination and seedling growth in Kagzi lime.
Study Design: The experiment was laid out in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with factorial concept and three repetitions.
Place and Duration of Study: The experiment was conducted during July to November 2017 at Department of Fruit Science, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari, Gujarat, India.
Methodology: The experiment consisted of sixteen treatments which were repeated thrice. It comprised of three factors and their respective levels. Factor S1 indicated freshly extracted kagzi lime seeds and S2 comprised of seeds stored for 15 days. The different concentrations of gibberellic acid were G1 - 200 ppm; G2 - 300 ppm; G3 - 400 ppm and G4 - 500 ppm. Whereas, duration D1 stood for 12 hours and D2 for 24 hours.
Results: The interaction between storage treatments, pre-sowing treatments and duration of soaking was found significant for all parameters included in the study except collar diameter and sturdiness quotient. Soaking freshly extracted Kagzi lime seeds in an aqueous solution of 500 ppm GA3 for 12 hours resulted in the minimum days for 50% germination (27.89), Seedling Vigour Index (3654.83) and survival percentage (84.70). The same treatment when extended for 24 hours recorded the highest germination percentage (95.68) and number of leaves (28.76). Soaking freshly extracted seeds in 400 ppm GA3 solution for 12 hours registered the maximum shoot length (21.63 cm). Kagzi lime seedlings raised from freshly extracted seeds resulted in higher collar diameter (2.04 mm) and sturdiness quotient (8.70). Further, a soaking duration of 12 hours proved better over 24 hours for collar diameter (2.04 mm) and sturdiness quotient (8.69). Between the different concentrations of GA3, 400 ppm gave better results for collar diameter (2.09 mm) and 200 ppm for sturdiness quotient (8.65).
Conclusion: Soaking freshly extracted kagzi lime seeds in an aqueous solution of 500 ppm GA3 for 12 hrs proved to be the best treatment combination for inducing early germination, higher Seedling Vigour Index and survival percentage. Nurserymen can employ these findings for early germination and vigorous seedlings in Kagzi lime.
Engineered Sewage Treatment System in Selected Niger Delta Environment
Authors: Moore Edward , Udom Godwin , Ngobiri Nnaemeka , Osuji Leo 
Published: December 2019

Water is life. Unfortunately, there has become a great scarcity of this precious liquid due to anthropogenic/human activities which have generated wastes, especially sewage that has not been adequately treated in the country, more especially in the poverty-stricken Niger Delta area of Nigeria. The few freshwater bodies not only serve a means for domestic use, including drinking, but it is also used as a means of direct sewage disposal both by the locals and other related unabated activities, thereby increasing the prevalence of water-borne diseases.
A locally designed sewage plant “engineered sewage treatment system” (ESTS) was therefore designed and developed with local materials like palm kernel shell (PKS), periwinkle shell (PWS), charcoal, fine, and coarse sand to treat domestic wastewater and improve the quality of the available water source within the local communities. The ESTS was operated for three months, and weekly monitoring carried out. The analysis of the treated effluents showed a significant reduction in the levels of contaminants as most of the physicochemical and biological parameters were within acceptable limits by the World Health Organization/Federal Ministry of Environment (WHO/FMEnv). The quality of treated sewage water improved when subjected to treatment by ESTS and compared well to the borehole water, which served as control. The results of the treatment process showed a 93% to 100% treatment efficiency of ESTS in the removal of F. coliform, E. coli, Streptococcus and Clostridium from the sewage. This high-efficiency rate has provided a holistic and affordable (cost-effective) means to curb the proliferation of water- borne diseases and help improve water quality in riverine communities.
