Target cost management (TCM) is an innovation of Japanese management accounting system and by common sense has been considered with great interest by practitioners. Nowadays, TCM related
dissertations, papers, articles are widely being published in special journals both in North…

The methods of differential geometry are used with the assumption that rays of light follow geodesic trajectories in a space whose metric is determined by the refraction index. Keeping this in mind, we show that these hypotheses are equivalent to…

To calculate retinal magnification and visual acuity in highly myopic phakic eyes corrected with anterior chamber intraocular lenses (IOLs) versus correction by other methods.
Relative retinal magnification (RRM) was used to study changes in retinal image size induced by different…

The classical problem of the deflection of a cantilever beam of linear elastic material, under the action of an external vertical concentrated load at the free end, is analysed. We present the differential equation governing the behaviour of this physical…

When aberrations are small, it is possible to use wave aberration variance to obtain the position of the best image plane in both conventional and holographic optical systems. However, when aberrations increase, this measurement is not sufficient and it does…

Previously we described a large collection of cloned human DNAs that encode chemically defined missense mutations
within the ribosomal protein S14 sequence. We determined that biologically inactive (i.e. null) alleles resulted primarily
from point mutations targeted to two internal segments…

Bleached holograms are one of the most interesting techniques used to produce phase holograms of high quality on photographic emulsions. Of particular interest is the method of fixation-free rehalogenating bleaching. Using Kogelnik's coupled-wave theory we shall obtain information about the…

We present three ways of treating the problem of fluid flow in a hollow cylinder. One method involves a differential equation, and the other two involve more physical insight. We discuss the relative advantages of each method., The following article…

Cables are one of the common structures studied in a first-year engineering mechanics course (statics), since the flexible cable is one of the usual methods of supporting loads. For example, the suspension bridge has been used for many centuries and…

Two new species of Enclisis Townes, 1970 from Spain are described and illustrated: E. dichroma sp. n. and E. schwarzi sp. n. The new species are distinguished from the closest species E. infernator and E. ornaticeps by head and leg…
