We report the case of an 18-year-old male who developed both nutritional amblyopia and night blindness.After nearly a lifetime of consuming a bizarre diet limited to French fries, pretzels, crackers, and carbonated sodas, he had a relatively sudden onset of night blindness and Fireplace bilateral visual loss.The night blindness resolved after takin
In this paper, we theoretically and experimentally investigate the all-optical modulation characteristics of a microfiber coupler combined Sagnac loop (MCSL).We inject pump lights with different intensities into the MCSL and utilize the thermo-optical effect from the microfiber coupler to control the phase relationship between the counter-propagati
In this paper, we present a method, which is based on hybrid automata and Real-Time Unified Modeling Language (UML) to analyze and design the control parts of mechatronic systems with input or output events and signals in order to effectively gather their structure and behaviour.We introduce step-by-step analysis and design activities of a controll
An environmental assessment of metakaolin as a supplementary cementitious material (SCM) through an integrated production-process-simulation and Life-Cycle-Assessment (LCA) approach is presented in this work.Initially, process simulation models were developed to reproduce the basic stages of the metakaolin production process.The effect of various o
