To evaluate the visual performance of a purely refractive extended depth focus (EDF) intraocular lens (IOL).
Bats are the second most speciose order of mammals and under significant threat throughout world. Survey monitoring bats for conservation severely hampered by lack a reliable user-friendly method identifying from their echolocation calls. We recorded described time-expanded calls 23 bat species in National Park Dadia-Lefkimi-Soufli, Greece. compared performance quadratic linear discriminant function analysis (DFA) as means species. Quadratic rather than DFA has been used several researchers...
PURPOSE: To measure longitudinal chromatic aberration (LCA) of various intraocular lenses (IOLs) and to assess LCA effects on polychromatic image quality with a focus multifocal IOL designs. METHODS: The values four models (three diffractive models: AT LARA 829MP LISA 809M [both from Carl Zeiss Meditec AG, Jena, Germany] Restor SN6AD1 [Alcon Laboratories, Inc., Fort Worth, TX] one refractive model [Mini Well Ready; SIFI Medtech, Sant'Antonio, Italy]) were compared that their monofocal...
Several recent impact studies reveal that in some localities industrial wind farms are associated with high numbers of bat fatalities. In Europe, most published have been conducted the northwest, while diversity generally is much higher south continent. Here we provide evidence from a post-construction monitoring study north-eastern Greece between August 2009 and July 2010. Overall, 88 turbines nine were intensively searched, 181 dead two injured bats found their proximity. The frequently...
Miniopterus schreibersii is a polytypic bat species, with one of the widest distribution ranges among mammals. We studied genetic differentiation and taxonomy this species in transition zone between south-eastern Europe Anatolia (in Asia), where two subspecies have been described. The results indicated sharp break samples from western those eastern Anatolia. In addition, were seen to be reciprocally monophyletic, although was less drastic. These patterns suggest presence distinct groups...
To analytically assess the effect of pupil size upon refractive power distributions different designs multifocal contact lenses.Two lenses center-near design and one lens center-distance were used in this study. Their profiles measured using NIMO TR1504 device (LAMBDA-X, Belgium). Based on their profiles, distribution was assessed as a function size. For high addition lenses, resulting viewing distance (far, intermediate, near) also analyzed.The affected by differently. One showed...
The long-fingered bat Myotis capaccinii (Bonaparte, 1837) is considered rare and listed as vulnerable on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (2007). It remains one least studied bats in Europe. Protection roosts fundamental to conservation but, for it be effective, knowledge about roosting ecology required. We evaluated habits, colony structure, composition M. National Park Dadia-Lefkimi-Soufli Greece during 2002–2004 at 6 underground sites. report results from regular capture marked...
Abstract Background The Schreiber’s bat, Miniopterus schreibersii , is adapted to long-distance flight, yet long distance movements have only been recorded sporadically using capture-mark-recapture. In this study, we used the hydrogen isotopic composition of 208 wing and 335 fur specimens from across species' European range test hypothesis that species migrates over distances. Results After obtaining (δ 2 H) each sample, performed geographic assignment tests by comparing δ H samples with...
Bats of Greece have been studied since the second half 19th century. Their distribution and ecology, however, remain poorly understood. Conservation efforts for protection roosting foraging habitats their populations in are limited. To date, 35 bat species recorded from Greece. Four (Eptesicus anatolicus, Plecotus auritus, Myotis brandtii Rousettus aegyptiacus) a limited country presence one (Myotis mystacinus) requires verification. The present study summarises all existing knowledge adds...
We present and test a methodology for generating simultaneous vision with deformable mirror that changed shape at 50 Hz between two vergences: 0 D (far vision) -2.5 (near vision).Different bifocal designs, including toric combinations of spherical aberration, were simulated assessed objectively.We found typical corneal aberrations 60-year-old subject changes the objective through-focus curves perfect lens.This can be used to investigate subjective visual performance different multifocal...
Purpose To present a metric for assessing the in vitro optical quality of rotationally symmetrical elements based on volume calculation under surface defined by axial modulation transfer function (MTF). Setting University Valencia, Spain. Design Experimental study. Methods The MTF was used to assess 2 multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) within various defocus intervals (0.50 diopter [D], 0.75 D, and 1.00 D) at spatial frequency (7.5 cycles per degree [cpd], 15.0 cpd, 30.0 cpd). Results far...
A psychophysical approach has been designed to measure straylight from intraocular lenses (IOLs) in vitro.This uses a clinical meter (C-Quant) and an observer's eye as optical detector.Based on this, we introduced method for study of straylight-wavelength dependency IOLs.This can be used distinguish between 2 types scattering particles (small large) defined by Mie theory.Validation was performed using turbidity standard filters.Several IOLs were analyzed identify potential sources.Large...
The aim of this work was to ascertain whether there are differences in amplitude, latency, and peak velocity accommodation disaccommodation responses when different analysis strategies used compute them, such as fitting functions the or for smoothing them prior computing parameters. Accommodation from four subjects pulse changes demand were recorded by means aberrometry. Three followed analyze responses: an exponential function experimental data; a Boltzmann sigmoid data. Amplitude,...
The Shared Library Management System (LMS) model is not a new concept. Lately, many libraries consortia have migrated to shared LMS reduce their services' total costs. Hellenic Academic Libraries consortium has implemented service, hosted in private owned cloud infrastructure for its members during the past years (known as MITOS project). Recognizing complexity and significance that joining represents, it important librarians other decision makers access experience operational, technical...
