Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) is a pachychoroid spectrum disease characterized by serous detachment of the neurosensory retina with subretinal fluid in young and middle-aged adults.The pathogenesis of CSC is not yet fully understood.However, it is considered a Steak Knives multifactorial disease that is strongly associated with choroidal d
Vascular development is an orchestrated process of vessel formation from pre-existing vessels via sprouting and intussusceptive angiogenesis as well as vascular remodeling to generate the mature vasculature.Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling via intracellular SMAD1 and SMAD5 effectors regulates sprouting angiogenesis FRENCH VANILLA in the e
An artificial vision Baby Plate system is presented for lie detection by analyzing face thermal image sequences.This system represents an alternative technique to the polygraph.Some of its features are: 1) it has no physical contact with the examinee, 2) it is non-intrusive, 3) it has a potential for private use, and 4) it can simultaneously analyz
When a fraction of the light reflected by an external cavity re-enters the laser cavity, both the amplitude and the frequency of the lasing field can be modulated.This phenomenon is called the self-mixing effect (SME).A self-mixing laser diode (SM-LD) is a sensor using the SME.Usually, such LDs operate below the stability boundary where no relaxati
