A New Sutureless Illuminated Macular Buckle Designed for Myopic Macular Hole Retinal Detachment by Ahmed M. Bedda, Ahmed M. Abdel Hadi, Mohamed Lolah, Muhammad S. Abd Al Shafy

“…The buckle used was assembled from a 5 mm wide sponge and a 7 mm wide silicone tire; it was fixed utilizing the sterile topical adhesive Histoacryl Blue (B Braun, TS1050044FP) which polymerizes in seconds upon being exposed to water-containing substances. The primary outcomes measured included aided visual acuity (BCVA) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings. …”

Thermal analysis of transient MHD ferrofluid flow and natural convection in a Porous cavity with a cylindrical barrier by Pan Zhang, Hassan Roshani, Payam Jalili, Bahram Jalili, Hammad. Alotaibi, Davood Domiri Ganji

“…The effects of Darcy, Rayleigh, and Hartmann numbers on the time-dependent (0≤t≤0.15seconds) This article investigates the ferrofluid flow behavior in a porous square cavity with a cylindrical barrier filled with 5 % iron oxide III ferroparticles (Fe3O4) and water (H2O) as the base fluid. The governing equations for the ferrofluid flow have been solved using Galerkin's finite element method. …”

The relative biologic effectiveness versus linear energy transfercurve as an output-input relation for linear cellular systems by Quoc T. Luu, Paul DuChateau

“…Although multiple biochemical parts may well be involved, the shape of the RBE-LET curve is reproduced when only three system parameters are related to three biochemical parts: the molecular machinery for DNA double strand break repair; the molecular pathways for handling oxidative stress; and the radiolytic products of the cellular water.    Despite being a simplified ''toy model,'' changes in the systems state parameters lead to model curves that are refutable in a modern molecular biology laboratory. …”

Comparison of Precipitation Rates from Global Datasets for the Five-Year Period from 2019 to 2023 by Heike Hartmann

“…Reliable climate information including accurate precipitation data is essential for identifying precipitation trends and variability as well as applying hydrologic models for purposes such as estimating (surface) water availability and predicting flooding. In this study, I compared precipitation rates from five reanalysis datasets and one analysis dataset—the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts Reanalysis Version 5 (ERA-5), the Japanese 55-Year Reanalysis (JRA-55), the Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications Version 2 (MERRA-2), the National Center for Environmental Prediction/National Center for Atmospheric Research Reanalysis 1 (NCEP/NCAR R1), the NCEP/Department of Energy Reanalysis 2 (NCEP/DOE R2), and the NCEP/Climate Forecast System Version 2 (NCEP/CFSv2)—with the merged satellite and rain gauge dataset from the Global Precipitation Climatology Project in Version 2.3 (GPCPv2.3). …”
