Distance Corrections01:15

Distance Corrections

299
To achieve precise distance measurements, especially in surveying and construction, certain corrections must be applied to account for potential sources of error like the standardization errors, temperature variations, and slope adjustments.Standardization error emerges when measurement equipment undergoes changes, such as wear, repairs, or weather impacts. To address this, surveyors compare the equipment’s readings to a standard. This process identifies any deviation that might lead to...

Power Factor Correction01:20

Power Factor Correction

549
The power transmission to a factory involves the transfer of apparent power, a combination of active and reactive power. The power factor measures how effectively electrical power is converted into useful work output. The ratio of the real power (KW) that does the work to the apparent power (KVA) supplied to the circuit.

NMR Spectrometers: Resolution and Error Correction01:14

NMR Spectrometers: Resolution and Error Correction

1.1K
When magnetic nuclei in a sample achieve resonance and undergo relaxation, the signal detected in NMR is an approximately exponential free induction decay. Fourier transform of an exponential decay yields a Lorentzian peak in the frequency domain. Lorentzian peaks in an NMR spectrum are defined by their amplitude, full width at half maximum, and position, where the peak width is governed by the spin-spin relaxation time alone. In real experiments, however, the applied magnetic field is rendered...

Influence of Earth's Curvature and Atmospheric Refraction on Leveling

965
During leveling, the Earth's curvature and atmospheric refraction introduce deviations in the line of sight from a true horizontal reference. When the line of sight is leveled, it remains perpendicular to the plumb line only at a single point. Beyond this, it deviates due to the Earth’s curvature, represented by the correction C. For a sight distance D, the deviation can be derived using the relationship:This relationship shows that the deviation increases quadratically with distance. Over a...

Groupthink01:34

Groupthink

50.2K
When in group settings, we are often influenced by the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors around us. Groupthink is another phenomenon of conformity where modification of the opinions of members in a group aligns with what they believe is the group consensus (Janis, 1972). In such situations, the group often takes action that individuals would not perform outside the group setting because groups make more extreme decisions than individuals do. Moreover, groupthink can hinder opposing trains of...

Group Polarization01:01

Group Polarization

39.2K
Group polarization is the strengthening of an original group attitude following the discussion of views within a group (Teger & Pruitt, 1967). That is, if a group initially favors a viewpoint, after discussion the group consensus is likely a stronger endorsement of the viewpoint. Conversely, if the group was initially opposed to a viewpoint, group discussion would likely lead to stronger opposition.

Summary

Ophthalmologists are willing to undergo refractive surgery, with a near 50-50 split on laser refractive surgery (LRS). Many would also consider lenticular surgery, including cataract surgery and FLACS.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Refractive Surgery
  • Ophthalmic Surgery

Background:

  • Public perception suggests ophthalmologists are hesitant to undergo refractive surgery.
  • Understanding ophthalmologists' personal opinions on refractive surgery is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate ophthalmologists' willingness to undergo various refractive surgical procedures.
  • To determine personal opinions on laser refractive surgery (LRS) and lenticular refractive surgery (lenRS).

Main Methods:

  • A prospective cross-sectional survey was conducted among members of the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery.
  • An online survey was administered from July to August 2014.

Main Results:

  • 51.5% of respondents would undergo laser refractive surgery (LRS), with 36.4% having already had it.
  • Reasons against LRS included contraindications, side effects, and complications.
  • 45.3% would undergo lenticular surgery (lenRS), with 12.3% having had it. 46.6% would undergo femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS).
  • Younger age and higher LRS procedure volume correlated with increased willingness for LRS.

    • Conclusions:

    • Ophthalmologists are willing to undergo corrective refractive procedures.
    • There is a divided opinion (approx. 50-50) on undergoing LRS.
    • Less than half would undergo lenticular surgery, including cataract refractive surgery and FLACS.
