Understanding the corneal mechanical properties has great importance in the study of corneal pathologies and the prediction of refractive surgery outcomes.Non-Contact Tonometry (NCT) is a non-invasive diagnostic tool intended to characterize the corneal tissue response in vivo by applying a defined air-pulse.The biomarkers inferred from this test c

The application of reliability centered maintenance onrepairable equipment requires that the reliability calculation should not to be Machine Package based on failure statistics, as in traditional methods, but rather on its condition.The "load vs resistance" method presumesthe comparison of process parameters with carefully selected mechanical prop
Previous research suggests climate warming during the current century is likely to lead to an increase in the frequency and severity of wildfire.Recent wildfire seasons in northern Canada generally support these studies, with some of the worst fire seasons on record occurring during the past decade.While we can readily track the spatial and tempora
