Actions of the Eye from Chapter 20 / Lesson 6 8.5K The eye has a range of functions that helps people to see and navigate around the physical world. Learn more about the eye's functions such as accommodation, convergence, and refraction, and the functions of emmetropia and visual activi...
Structures of LCs and their roles in regulating OAD activity Among all the 13 light chains, 10 of them (LC7, LC8 and Tctex families) are clustered by the IC2/3 N-terminal extensions (NTEs) (Extended Data Fig. 5c). Together they form a tower-like structure (IC/LC-tower) (Fig. 2...
bring their designs to reality but also to be able to discuss their projects with engineers in order to find the best solutions for construction. Structural pre-dimensioning is crucial to the initial design of the structural components, revealing the restrictions and the possibilities of the spaces...
The German concept of a trialogue in medicine is at its best a cooperation between patients, relatives, and professionals as partners on equal footing. Prerequisites, and also the aim of the trialogue, are mutual respect, an open attitude from profession
Analogous structures form via the process of convergent evolution, which means that certain traits in very distantly organisms appear to become more similar. An example of convergent evolution would be the development of the eye in vertebrates, and the eye in octopi. It is believed that both of...
The pupil allows light to enter the eye and fall on the retina, ultimately allowing you to see. There are also several eye adnexa that essentially protect the eyeball, as well as help it to move and perform its functions. Those are the eyelids, conjunctiva, lacrimal apparatus, and the ...
When integral membrane proteins are visualized in detergents or other artificial systems, an important layer of information is lost regarding lipid interactions and their effects on protein structure. This is especially relevant to proteins for which lipids have both structural and regulatory roles. Here...
The effects of prematurity and ROP are presented as regional and global estimates of acute-phase ROP and the consequent mild/moderate and severe visual impairment. We discuss sequelae and how they affect the eye and its shape, strabismus and finally consider their impact on visual functions, ...
A public pathway through the building leads the visitor from the monumental entrance on the square to the roof terrace offering a view on the city of Kortrijk and its landmarks. From beginning to end the Budafabriek offers a context-specific experience. The entrance pentagon functions as an an...
and 0.1% when the emission wavelength is below 260 and 230 nm, respectively30,31. Such a low efficiency strongly restricts the range of the potential applications of DUV LEDs. Originally, the challenges to improve their performances could be attributed to systematic and interrelated difficulties ...
