Background: Glaucoma is a chronic, progressive optic neuropathy caused by a group of ocular conditions which lead to damage of the optic nerve with progressive diminution of vision.Medical management is currently the primary line of treatment in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the black rose globe patt
The regulation of medical devices and In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) medical devices have lagged significantly, especially in low- and middle-income countries.Disparities in regulating medical and IVD medical devices in Africa are below cotopaxi bibs the global average.This may translate to poor access to quality-assured medical and IVD devices, resulti
Many copepods display a swim-and-sink behaviour, which is not energetically efficient but probably aids in perceiving and capturing diatom chains.Here, computational fluid dynamics was employed to calculate the mechanical power required by a negatively buoyant, self-propelled copepod in swim-and-sink versus hovering.The results show that upward swi
Elaboration of the technology of novel photolithographic masks fabricated on sapphire substrates for UV and DUV application was described.The main technological steps of mask fabrication as Cr metallization deposition, selection esab miniarc rogue of resist for lithography and Cr layer etching were developed and reported.The etching of Cr films was
The existing flare prediction primarily relies on photospheric magnetic field parameters from the entire active region (AR), such as Space-Weather HMI Activity Region Patches (SHARP) parameters.However, these parameters may not capture the details of the AR evolution preceding flares.The magnetic structure within the core area of an AR is essential
