Gauss's Law: Cylindrical Symmetry01:20

Gauss's Law: Cylindrical Symmetry

8.8K
A charge distribution has cylindrical symmetry if the charge density depends only upon the distance from the axis of the cylinder and does not vary along the axis or with the direction about the axis. In other words, if a system varies if it is rotated around the axis or shifted along the axis, it does not have cylindrical symmetry. In real systems, we do not have infinite cylinders; however, if the cylindrical object is considerably longer than the radius from it that we are interested in,...

Gauss's Law: Spherical Symmetry

8.6K
A charge distribution has spherical symmetry if the density of charge depends only on the distance from a point in space and not on the direction. In other words, if the system is rotated, it doesn't look different. For instance, if a sphere of radius R is uniformly charged with charge density ρ0, then the distribution has spherical symmetry. On the other hand, if a sphere of radius R is charged so that the top half of the sphere has a uniform charge density ρ1 and the bottom half has a...

IR Spectrum Peak Splitting: Symmetric vs Asymmetric Vibrations01:08

IR Spectrum Peak Splitting: Symmetric vs Asymmetric Vibrations

1.5K
Identical bonds within a polyatomic group can stretch symmetrically (in-phase) or asymmetrically (out-of-phase). Similar to hydrogen bonding, these vibrations also influence the shape of the IR peak. Generally, asymmetric stretching frequencies are higher than symmetric stretching frequencies. For example, primary amines exhibit two distinct IR peaks between 3300–3500 cm−1 corresponding to the symmetric and asymmetric N-H stretching, while secondary amines exhibit a single...

Spherical Coordinates01:23

Spherical Coordinates

13.4K
Spherical coordinate systems are preferred over Cartesian, polar, or cylindrical coordinates for systems with spherical symmetry. For example, to describe the surface of a sphere, Cartesian coordinates require all three coordinates. On the other hand, the spherical coordinate system requires only one parameter: the sphere's radius. As a result, the complicated mathematical calculations become simple. Spherical coordinates are used in science and engineering applications like electric and...

Gravitation Between Spherically Symmetric Masses

1.1K
The gravitational potential energy between two spherically symmetric bodies can be calculated from the masses and the distance between the bodies, assuming that the center of mass is concentrated at the respective centers of the bodies.

2D NMR: Heteronuclear Single-Quantum Correlation Spectroscopy (HSQC)01:19

2D NMR: Heteronuclear Single-Quantum Correlation Spectroscopy (HSQC)

1.2K
Heteronuclear single-quantum correlation spectroscopy (HSQC) is a 2D NMR technique that reveals one-bond correlations between hydrogen and a heteronucleus. The HSQC experiment is similar to the heteronuclear correlation experiment (HETCOR) but is more sensitive. In the HSQC spectrum, the proton chemical shift is plotted on the horizontal F2 axis, while the 13C chemical shift is plotted on the vertical F1 axis. The corresponding proton and 13C spectra are also shown. The HSQC contour plot does...

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Optometry
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Portable autorefractors offer remote refractive error estimation but lack simple methods for sphero-cylinder comparison and donated spectacle dispensing.
  • Current limitations hinder effective vision correction in underserved or remote populations.
  • Clinical trial NCT04297969 investigated solutions for these challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a system for comparing refractive errors and assessing the suitability of donated spectacles for dispensing.
  • To establish objective grading criteria for refractive error and spectacle lens comparability.
  • To facilitate remote, lay-dispensing of corrective eyewear.

Main Methods:

  • Normal astigmats had their visual acuity degraded to 1, 3, and 6 logMAR (Grades A, B, C).
  • Cylindrical refraction was vector transformed (J0, J45) to analyze astigmatism.
  • An interactive database was created to grade lens comparability against target refractions.

Main Results:

  • Refractions formed ovals on J0/J45 coordinates; axis and power limits were determined at different acuity degradation levels.
  • Oval size correlated positively with cylinder power.
  • The database provided A, B, C, or worse grades for cylinder, spherical equivalent, and pupillary diameter comparability.

Conclusions:

  • A 'B' grade similarity between a target refraction (autorefraction, PD, age) and a donated spectacle is predicted to achieve 20/40 acuity.
  • This practical Excel-based database system can enable widespread remote dispensing of both spherical and cylindrical spectacles by laypersons.
  • The grading system can also be used to compare the performance of different refractive tools like photoscreeners and autorefractors.
