Evaluation of symptoms of Hypermetropia in Children

ABSTRACT The main objective was to evaluate the prevalence of different symptoms of hypermetropia in children. Also to assess whether there was increase in symptoms with increase in the refractive error. All children who were diagnosed with hypermetropia (at LV Prasad Eye Institute) in at least one eye and who aged between 6-15 years were enrolled in the study. An appropriate sample size of 51 subjects was determined and the questionnaire was given to the parents of all children. Questionnaire was validated and a set of 20 questions was designed. The reliability of the questionnaire was analyzed and it was found to be 0.76. (Cronach's alpha). Participants who could not be seen in the Institute were contacted on phone and the questionnaire was called out to them. All the children enrolled in the study underwent the preliminary examination like vision assessment, dry and cycloplegic refraction, slit lamp examination and a dilated fundus examination at standard ophthalmological set up. Based on the diagnosis and the inclusion criteria, questionnaire was administered to the parents by the examiner. The study showed that increased symptoms with increasing refractive errors in higher powers. It also revealed the fact that frequent checks, follow-ups and change of glasses periodically minimized the symptoms

TO WIDEN THE NOVEL CLOUD CARGO SPACE EXAMINE FOR LOCATION

Watching that during hundreds of sensing situations, the location statistics is probably positioned up-processed as quickly because the facts are submitted to a few server, we format Cloud-Offloaded Gps navigation (CO-Gps navigation) solution that permits a sensing tool to strongly obligation-cycle its Gps navigation receiver and log sufficient uncooked Gps navigation signal for publish-processing. Location is, in reality, essential provider for traveling with a computer. Typical Gps navigation receivers, despite the fact that substantially without a hassle to be had for navigation reasons may additionally eat too much electricity to end up using for lots of programs. Localization is simply an essential carrier of mobility. In outside packages as an instance natural international tracking, participatory ecological sensing, and private standard fitness applications, Gps navigation is affects the maximum common region sensor. Leveraging overtly to be had records, for example, GNSS satellite TV for pc television for computer ephemeris further to an Earth elevation database, a cloud issuer can derive pinnacle splendid Gps navigation locations from a couple of milliseconds of uncooked information. Using our fashion of a portable sensing device platform known as CLEON, we decide the precision and efficiency of the solution. In comparison to extra than thirty seconds of heavy sign processing on standalone Gps navigation receivers, we're capable of achieving three orders of significance decrease electricity intake consistent with vicinity marking

Pacific University College of Optometry's Evolving History

The Behaviour and Performance of Geo-Textiles with Reference to CBR Value on Clay Soil

Geo-textiles are polymers of high tensile strength, and they are flexible in nature. They are widely used in a variety of engineering applications including soil reinforcement. Hence, it was necessary to make an in depth study on the use of geo-textiles and their relative advantages. This work focuses on a comparative study on the load carrying capacities using geo-textiles. A series of California Bearing Ratio (CBR) tests were performed on soil reinforced with geo-textiles, placed in single and double layers at different depths. The CBR value and stress-strain results of this study provided a better understanding on the comparative changes in load carrying capacities of the soil. The information will help in better decision making in the field of soil reinforcement.</jats:p

Variants identified by whole genome sequencing of 12 isoniazid-resistant and 17 isoniazid-susceptible <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> isolates.

<p>* Variants that can be found in both isoniazid-resistant and -susceptible isolates.</p

Phylogenetic tree of 29 Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates.

<p>The whole genome sequences of the 29 isolates were used to construct the tree, with <i>Mycobacterium canetti</i> used as an outlier, in order to identify and eliminate mutations that were phylogenetically related. Drug-resistant isolates were coded according to the drugs they were resistant to: isolates resistant to isoniazid were coded with “I”; those resistant to rifampicin, “R”; those resistant to streptomycin, “S”; those resistant to ethambutol, “E”. All isolates coded with 5-digit numbers (2XXXX), were INH-susceptible isolates. Spoligotyping assigned the isolates into these lineages: I64, S41, S16, I74, R7, I88, I100, I47, IR2, IE7 and IR12 belonged to the Beijing lineage; 26258, 25155, 23733, I37 and 27793, the U lineage; 27809, 27288, I21, I39, S19, 24362, 25594 and 28249, the T lineage; S12, the Haarlem lineage; I60, the LAM lineage; 28905, the H37Rv lineage; and the isolates S11 and 20250, the EAI lineage.</p
