Three numerical methods for calculating the point spread function for holographic optical elements in the presence of aberrations are analyzed. The starting point for the analytical formulation of the diffraction theory of aberrations for holographic optical elements is the Fresnel-Kirchhoff…

In the triathlon the combined practice of swimming, cycling and running permits the reduction of overuse injuries compared to the practice of the running alone. Redistribution of stress over several part of the body and correction of muscle imbalance are…

During a grounded theory study into health visiting the role of the relationship with clients was uncovered. It was found that they have a necessary enabling and mediating function for health visitors' work. Although the literature has highlighted the importance…

A grounded theory study was undertaken to gain insight into the processes underpinning health visiting. It was found that health visitors introduce their services into the client domain via a process constructed in this study as ‘marketing’. This process involves…

In this paper, we extend our previous light microscopic (LM) study of substance P (SP)-containing amacrine and ganglion cell types of the human retina (Cuenca et al. [1995] J. Comp. Neurol. 356:491–504) to an electron microscopic (EM) and confocal-imaging study…

In this work, we have applied the fractional Fourier transform to obtain the Fresnel diffraction patterns in a theoretical eye. The FRT approach to Fresnel diffraction is easily implemented in a Gullstrand-Emsley theoretical eye, and it allows us to obtain…

This paper deals with diffuse-object holograms recorded in silver halide sensitized gelatin. Both the diffraction efficiency and the signal-to-noise ratio when reconstruction is done with different wavelengths are measured. The experimental results we obtained show that new theoretical models for…

A model is proposed which allows us to obtain the diffraction efficiency of photopolymeric materials with a nonlinear response to the refraction index, using the equations on the evolution of copolymerization reactions as a base. The photochemical material being analysed…

A model for simulating transport of reactive multispecies components has been applied to simulate the chemical changes occurring during salt water intrusion in a confined aquifer. One-dimensional reactive flow in permeable media is simulated by means of a numerical method…
