Juvenile Cosmology; Or Richard Powers’ Post-Global Doughnut by Judith Roof

“…The novel’s collapse of time/space is not a simplistic paean to the global (a category already as out-dated as hapless Vietnam vets), but instead bags the gathering consciousness of an originless existence forever extending beyond its supposed coordinates. The novel wraps both inward and out, framing its frames and detours while loosing them. …”

New Objective Refraction Metric Based on Sphere Fitting to the Wavefront by Mateusz Jaskulski, Andreí Martínez-Finkelshtein, Norberto López-Gil

“…For pupil radii r0≤2 mm, the new metric predicts the equivalent sphere with similar accuracy (<0.1D), however, for r0>2 mm, the mean error of traditional metrics can increase beyond 0.25D, and the MTR remains accurate. The proposed metric allows clinicians to obtain an accurate clinical spherical equivalent value without rescaling/refitting of the wavefront coefficients. …”

Response of Yield and Quality Attributes to Plant Spacing In potato Growing. by Ekyatuheire, Maryusita

“…It was found that spacing has a significant effect on plant height and leaf area index but an insignificant effect on yields and quality which implied that there are other factors that affect quality and yield beyond spacing. Therefore, it was recommended that farmers practice spacing since plant height was associated with high yields but there was a need for participatory sharing of experiences by experts, traditional farmers, and extension workers to make informed decisions on the optimal spacing.…”
