Summary: This study found that inadequate accommodative response and higher lag persist in amblyopic eyes even after treatment. The lag is partly determined by post-treatment visual acuity. Further research is recommended to investigate the impact of accommodative lag on visual recovery and whether correcting this deficiency can improve treatment outcomes.

Summary: The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of a novel algorithm that combines dynamic wavefront aberrometry data and descriptors of the retinal image quality from objective autorefractor measurements to predict subjective refraction. The results showed that the dynamic approach significantly improved the accuracy and precision of the portable wavefront autorefractor compared to standard search-based algorithms.

Summary: The present work provides an approximate analytical solution to analyze the dynamic temperature field caused by the interaction between building walls and the surrounding environment. This solution, based on weighted residuals, can effectively estimate the thermal performance of buildings and elucidate the dependence on room descriptive parameters. The results of this model are compared with a commercial FEM code and the standard EN 13786 analytical solution, yielding satisfactory results. This conclusion is not surprising considering the characteristic-time responses of climatic forcing and building walls. Finally, the model is applied to analyze the thermal response of an open-loop regulated indoor environment.

Summary: This paper presents two new symmetric linear multi-step methods for initial-value problems with two principal frequencies. These methods can integrate the problem without truncation error and have been analyzed for stability and phase lags. Numerical experiments show high effectiveness and robustness compared to some well-known one-frequency trigonometrically/exponentially fitted symmetric multi-step methods in recent literature.

Summary: In this small sample, cycloplegic autorefraction was found to be comparable to cycloplegic retinoscopy. However, recognition of amblyopia should still prompt evaluation by a pediatric ophthalmologist. Further research is needed to confirm whether comprehensive ophthalmologists can sufficiently detect and manage refractive errors in children.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to assess and compare the effects of alcohol and cannabis on accommodation dynamics. The results showed that a moderate-high dose of alcohol had a greater impact on accommodation dynamics compared to a lower dose of alcohol or smoked cannabis. Additionally, the target distance had a significant effect on the deterioration of accommodation dynamics.

Summary: The study found that dynamic visual acuity (DVA) follows a similar defocus curve as static visual acuity (SVA), and corrected dynamic vision accommodation (CDVAc) can be used to assess dynamic vision accommodation function. The dynamic defocus curve test is efficient in evaluating dynamic visual performance under different defocus statuses.

Summary: This study evaluated the effectiveness of automatic dual rotational Risley prisms (ADRRPs) as a tool for vergence exercises in myopic patients. The results showed that using ADRRPs during these exercises can improve accommodative lag, accommodative facility, and accommodative relaxation in adults with myopia.

Summary: Topic evolution modeling is a popular research topic. In this work, the focus is on recognizing and utilizing the lead-lag relationship between two text corpora. A joint dynamic topic model is proposed to discover this relationship and improve topic learning. The proposed model is applied to statistical papers and graduation theses, showing its effectiveness in recognizing the lead-lag relationship and discovering specific and shared topic patterns.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of multifocal soft contact lenses in reducing asthenopic symptoms in myopes with accommodative lag. The results showed that wearing multifocal contact lenses can improve the severity of asthenopic symptoms, and this improvement appears to be unrelated to a reduction in accommodative lag but may be related to changes in near heterophoria.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the impact of multifocal spectacle lenses on accommodative errors and whether this impact changes over time. The results showed that progressive addition lenses (PALs) can reduce accommodative lag, but the addition power needs to be tailored to the typical working distances of individuals. Furthermore, after one year of wear, the addition power needs to be increased by at least 0.50 D to maintain efficacy.

Summary: We propose two convenient methods for the detection and determination of palm oil in butter. The first method involves using dynamic light scattering (DLS) to analyze the size of drops in an alcoholic emulsion of oil or spread. The second method utilizes luminescence spectroscopy to measure the intensity ratio of spread components. These two physically independent methods successfully complement each other, with DLS and luminescence providing errors of no more than 10% and 6%, respectively, in determining the proportion of palm oil in butter.

Summary: The public knowledge-based application in Japan aims to eliminate off-label use due to drug lag. A comprehensive investigation over the past two decades found that more anticancer and pediatric drugs were approved through this system, with shorter review times compared to normal applications. Additionally, only one drug for orphan diseases was approved through this system.

Summary: This paper investigates the time lag and periodicity of spillover intensity and direction among carbon, fossil energy, and electricity markets using the TVP-VAR-SV method and impulse response functions. The empirical results reveal that the spillover intensity and direction among these markets exhibit time-varying asymmetry. Furthermore, the duration of the time-varying spillover effect is approximately three months, and the spillover effect weakens over time. In the short term, the rise in carbon and fossil energy prices reduces the value of the electricity market, while in the long run, it may accelerate the adjustment of energy structure, reduce carbon emissions, and improve the value of the electricity market.

Summary: Nucleosome assembly protein 1 (NAP1) binds to histone H2A-H2B heterodimers and mediates their deposition on and eviction from the nucleosome. Through integrative methods, the dynamic structures of the full-length hNAP1 dimer bound to one and two H2A-H2B heterodimers have been examined. The first H2A-H2B dimer primarily binds to the core domain of hNAP1, while the second H2A-H2B dimer dynamically binds to both CTADs. Based on these findings, a model of H2A-H2B eviction by NAP1 from nucleosomes is proposed.
