Visual quality with corneo-scleral contact lenses for keratoconus management
2018
Purpose: To assess the visual quality achieved by fitting corneo-scleral contact lenses (CScL) for keratoconus management. Methods: Thirty patients with keratoconus presented to have CScL fitted because of the unsatisfactory visual quality they experienced with their contact lenses or spectacles. The eye examination included visual acuity assessment, anterior eye biomicroscopy, ocular fundus examination, corneal topographic analysis, endothelialcell count, contrast sensitivity and aberrometry. The fitting process was performed using a diagnostic trial set. Subjective visual quality and comfort, and contact lens wear time were also reported. Patients were monitored for one year. Results: Thr…
Quantification des Brettanomyces par qPCR
2017
International audience; Brettanomyces bruxellensis est une levure d’altération du vin avec de faibles besoins nutritionnels, résistante à l’éthanol et aux faibles pH, lui permettant une implantation en vin durant ou après la fermentation alcoolique (Conterno et al., 2006). B. bruxellensis est capable de produire des phénols volatils (éthyl-4-phénol, éthyl-4-gaïacol et éthyl-4-catéchol) (Oelofse et al., 2008). Ces molécules volatiles odorantes amènent un caractère phénolé et animal au vin connu sous le nom de « caractère Brett ». D’autres molécules (2-acétyltétrahydropyridine et 2-éthyltétrahydropyridine) produites par B. bruxellensis sont également responsables d’une déviation organoleptiqu…
Sag, wie hältst Du's mit Grün-Rot? Die grün-rote Landesregierung im Urteil der Wähler 2011 bis 2015
2016
In unserem Beitrag analysieren wir, wie die Burgerinnen und Burger den Regierungswechsel und die Ubernahme der Regierungsgeschafte durch die neue grun-rote Regierung wahrgenommen, wie sich die Regierungs- und Parteienzufriedenheit (ausgedruckt durch die hypothetische Wahlentscheidung) im Zeitverlauf entwickelt haben und was die Determinanten der Zufriedenheit sind. Unsere Analysen basieren dabei auf insgesamt sechs reprasentativen telefonischen Befragungen im Zeitraum von November 2011 bis Oktober 2015. Wir konnen zeigen, dass im Laufe der Legislaturperiode die vor der Wahl stattgefundenen Ereignisse mehr und mehr an Bedeutung fur die Bewertung der Regierungsleistung verlieren. Die Landesre…
Comparison of Two Aerodynamic Lenses as an Inlet for a Single Particle Laser Ablation Mass Spectrometer
2008
By means of a newly designed portable aerosol mass spectrometer SPLAT (Single Particle Laser Ablation Time-of-flight mass spectrometer) for the analysis of single atmospheric aerosol particles we investigated the system performance in dependency on two different aerodynamic lenses (Liu and Schreiner type) capable of focusing particles with diameters ranging from 80 nm to 800 nm and 300 nm to 3000 nm, respectively. By using the pressure regulated Schreiner lens, the instrument is independent of variations in atmospheric pressure which would lead to changing dynamical properties of the aerosol particles. Active pressure control inside the inlet system facilitates airborne measurements without…
Posterior chamber phakic intraocular lenses after penetrating keratoplasty.
2009
Purpose To evaluate the efficacy, predictability, and safety of a phakic posterior chamber intraocular Collamer lens (ICL) after penetrating keratoplasty (PKP). Setting Fernandez-Vega Ophthalmological Institute, Oviedo, Spain. Methods A myopic or toric ICL was implanted after PKP in eyes unable to wear glasses or contact lenses and for which corneal laser surgery was contraindicated. The uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), refractive error, and endothelial cell count were recorded preoperatively and 24 months postoperatively. Results Preoperatively, the 15 eyes had myopia from −2.00 to −17.00 diopters (D) or astigmatism from −1.50 to −7.00 D. …
Femtosecond laser for residual refractive error correction after refractive lens exchange with multifocal intraocular lens implantation.
2008
Purpose To assess visual and refractive outcomes of femtosecond laser for residual refractive error correction after refractive lens exchange (RLE) with multifocal intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. Design Prospective, nonrandomized, masked observational case series (self-controlled). Methods Fifty-three eyes of 31 consecutive patients were submitted to femtosecond laser surgery after RLE with multifocal IOL implantation. Patients showed an average manifest refractive error (D) of M , 0.200 ± 0.490; J 0 , −0.051 ± 0.532; and J 45 , −0.007 ± 0.371. Visual acuity (VA) was measured at distance and near vision before and six months after the surgery. Results At six months after surgery, mean …
Use of a grating in a coherent optical-processing configuration for evaluating the refractive index of a lens: comments
2010
La methode consiste en la determination de l'indice de refraction de la lentille d'essai a partir de la separation entre 2 ordres de diffraction successifs dans la figure de diffraction de Fraunhofer d'un reseau a 1 dimension, lorsque la lentille, qui effectue la transformation de Fourier a 2 dimensions, est immergee dans differents liquides a l'interieur d'une cellule en verre
Closed foldable capsular rings
2004
A new foldable capsular tension and bending ring system with a sharp-edged design is described. The closed foldable capsular rings (CFCR) consist of 8 hydrophobic and 8 hydrophilic ring segments. The CFCRs have a 9.2 mm minimum overall diameter. The CFCRs were inserted using various cartridge systems or a two-folded technique with a forceps. The CFCRs were implanted after phacoemulsification through a small (1.6 to 3.2 mm) incision in 104 human adult eyes without intraoperative complications. No postoperative complications such as capsule folds or inward bending were observed over a 6-month follow-up. Posterior capsule opacification was minimal or absent in all eyes.
Biodiversità e caratteristiche bio-agronomiche in lenticchia (lens culinaris medik.).
2016
Tra le leguminose da granella la lenticchia (Lens culinaris Medik.), occupa un posto importante nella alimentazione umana, per la quantità e qualità di proteine contenute nel seme e per il contenuto di carboidrati associati alla bassa presenza di sostanze antinutrizionali. La coltivazione della lenticchia è ancora basata, nella maggior parte del mondo, su ecotipi locali e solo in pochi Paesi, come il Canada, si utilizzano varietà selezionate. La coltura, come molte leguminose minori, risulta poco presente negli ordinamenti colturali italiani e, negli ultimi decenni, la superficiecoltivata ha registrato una notevole riduzione a causa di ,molteplici fattori, come mancanza di germoplasma selez…
