Fonti scritte, iconografiche, documentarie e topografia antica

2009

Considerazioni sull’importanza rivestita negli studi archeologici dalla conoscenza delle fonti letterarie. Non si devono annoverare fra queste ultime soltanto le testimonianze antiche, ma anche quelle moderne, come le relazioni dei viaggiatori dei secoli passati, che costituiscono fonti spesso trascurate ma di grande rilievo.

Optical Quality Comparison between Spherical and Aspheric Toric Intraocular Lenses

2014

Purpose To measure and compare the optical quality of spherical and aspheric toric intraocular lenses (IOLs). Methods Wavefront aberrations of AcrySof Toric and IQ Toric IOLs (Alcon Laboratories) for different powers were measured at 3- and 5-mm pupils by Nimo TR0805 instrument. The Zernike coefficients of trefoil, coma, tetrafoil, secondary astigmatism, and spherical aberration were evaluated. The point spread functions (PSFs) of each IOL evaluated were calculated from the wavefront aberrations. The PSF images also were calculated from the IOL wavefront aberrations, adding the cornea's aberrations to simulate the optical quality after their implantation. Results Spherical toric IOLs showed…

Jesus fra Nikea? - Tre merknader til Oskar Skarsaunes visdomskristologi

2014

Author's version of an article in the journal: Teologisk tidsskrift. Also available from the publisher at: http://www.idunn.no/ts/tt/2014/03/jesus_fra_nikea_-_tre_merknader_til_oskar_skarsaunes_visdo This article discusses three key aspects of the wisdom Christology of Oskar Skarsaune, as it is portrayed in his influential book Inkarnasjonen – myte eller faktum? (1988; Incarnation – myth or fact?, 1991): (1) The claim that Jesus through his “first-person speech” speaks with divine authority that makes an identification with the wisdom figure inevitable. (2) The emphasis that the messiah category is insufficient to describe the person of Jesus. (3) The emphasis that wisdom is begotten – and …

Influence of trifocal intraocular lenses on standard autorefraction and aberrometer-based autorefraction.

2019

To study the agreement between manifest refraction and objective refraction measured with two autorefractor models and an aberrometer in eyes implanted with a trifocal diffractive intraocular lens (IOL).IOA Madrid Innova Ocular, Madrid, Spain.Prospective comparative cohort study.An autorefractor keratometer (KR-8800), based on a Scheiner double pinhole, and a 3-dimension wavefront topography aberrometer system (OPD-Scan III), based on the scanning-slit retinoscopy principle, were used to obtain objective refraction readings. In addition, lower-order Zernike coefficients (Z) were used to calculate objective refraction. A set of 7 different results was obtained in power vector notation (spher…

Tactical behavior of high‐level male marathon runners

2019

This study analyzes the strategy used by the best male runners who participated in one of the major city marathons (Frankfurt Marathon, 2008-2018), the all-time performances <2:04:00, the male world records achieved during the 21st century and the Nike Breaking2 Project and INEOS 1:59 Challenge (total = 235 races). The races of the best runners in the Frankfurt Marathon (top 10) were analyzed (n = 110 runners, range: 2:03:42-2:14:05 hours); the runners were divided into two groups according to the tactical used. The pace of Group A (stable pace) remained steady throughout the race, while in Group B (decrease in running speed toward the end of the race) a moderate, but significant drop in sp…

Construct validity of the anxiety sensitivity index-3 in clinical samples

2012

"Using two clinical samples of patients, the presented studies examined the construct validity of the recently revised Anxiety Sensitivity Index-3 (ASI-3). Confirmatory factor analyses established a clear three-factor structure that corresponds to the postulated subdivision of the construct into correlated somatic, social, and cognitive components. Participants with different primary clinical diagnoses differed from each other on the ASI-3 subscales in theoretically meaningful ways. Specifically, the ASI-3 successfully discriminated patients with anxiety disorders from patients with nonanxiety disorders. Moreover, patients with panic disorder or agoraphobia manifested more somatic concerns …

Brand misconduct: Consequences on consumer–brand relationships

2010

Abstract This paper investigates the effects of brand misconduct on a consumer–brand relationship. Brand misconduct describes a brand's behavior that disappoints consumers' expectations of the brand, for example the alleged use of child labor in soccer ball factories contracted by Adidas , Nike and Puma . Based on relationship and congruency theory, this paper develops a model to explain consumer–brand relationship and its impact on consumers' repurchase intentions. According to this model, functional congruence, actual and ideal self-congruence, partner quality and brand relationship quality represent factors determining repurchase intention. An empirical investigation with regard to jeans…

Optimum free energy in the reference functional approach for the integral equations theory.

2011

We investigate the question of determining the bulk properties of liquids, required as input for practical applications of the density functional theory of inhomogeneous systems, using density functional theory itself. By considering the reference functional approach in the test particle limit, we derive an expression of the bulk free energy that is consistent with the closure of the Ornstein–Zernike equations in which the bridge functions are obtained from the reference system bridge functional. By examining the connection between the free energy functional and the formally exact bulk free energy, we obtain an improved expression of the corresponding non-local term in the standard referenc…

Optical Quality Comparison of Conventional and Hole-Visian Implantable Collamer Lens at Different Degrees of Decentering

2012

To compare the optical quality of implantable Collamer lens (ICL) with and without central hole (Hole ICL and conventional ICL) at different degrees of decentering.Experimental laboratory investigation.Wavefront aberrations of the -3, -6, and -12 diopter (D) V4b and -3, -6, and -12 D V4c ICLs were measured in 3 conditions-centered and decentered 0.3 and 0.6 mm-at 3-mm and 4.5-mm pupils. The root mean square of total higher order aberrations, trefoil, coma, tetrafoil, secondary astigmatism, and spherical aberration were evaluated. In addition, point spread function and simulated retinal images of ICLs were calculated from the wavefront aberrations for each ICL and all conditions of decenteri…
