Quantifying monochromatic and polychromatic optical blur anisotropy in the periphery of myopes and emmetropes using a radial asymmetry metric by Chloe Degre Kendrick, Dibyendu Pusti, Geunyoung Yoon

“…These differences were minimized when chromatic aberrations were included, though the trend remained the same.ImplicationsA trend of more vertical optical blur in the temporal periphery of myopes strengthens the hypothesis that myopes experience different peripheral optical blur than emmetropes, though the small sample size of the current study limits generalizability of the results. …”

PREVALENCE OF RISK OF KYPHOTIC POSTURE AMONG LAPTOP USERSACADEMICIANS USING OCCIPUT WALL DISTANCE TEST by Ariba Sohail et al

“…Conclusion: The greater the age and BMI the greater the chances of Kyphotic posture, however one with growing age can certainly minimize the risk of Kyphotic posture by maintaining their BMI with the growing age as the old saying goes that obesity is the mother of all problems therefore one should definitely keep an eye on their BMI to overcome the risks of all the risks in life. …”

Corrosion Behaviors’ Investigation of Carbide Coatings Developed for Sulphuric Acid Recovery Systems by Erhan Özkan

“…During the recovery of sulphuric acid, aggressive sulphur systems in the baths cause the metal surface to dissolve and therefore a high amount of material loss occurs. In order to minimize corrosion induced material loss, 316 L stainless steel surfaces were coated with an interlayer of 95% nickel and 5% aluminium alloy, and then tungsten carbide coatings were synthesized on the surfaces of substrate materials reinforced with 13% cobalt and 13% nickel, respectively by thermal spraying method to further reduce the corrosion rate. …”
