Laboratory evaluation of higher-order aberrations and light scattering in explanted opacified intraocular lenses

Eye and Vision, 2021
Background Intraocular lens (IOL) calcification is a serious condition that can only be treated by removing the clouded lens. Since explantation bears the risk of complications, it is often deferred until the patient finds the symptoms intolerable ...

Development of cisgenic apples with durable resistance to apple scab [PDF]

, 2009
Most of the apple (Malus × domestica) growers are facing serious disease problems with apple scab which is caused by the fungus Venturia inaequalis. Developing a resistant variety in apple through classical breeding is very slow and inefficient.

A laboratory evaluation of nozzle tip damage in four generations of intraocular lens injector systems using a self-developed damage scale

Scientific Reports, 2022
During intraocular lens (IOL) implantation it is not uncommon for the injector’s nozzle-tip to get damaged. However, the damage has not been systematically described or evaluated using an objective scale.

Development of engineering design tools to help reduce apple bruising [PDF]

, 2007
A large percentage of apples are wasted each year due to damage such as bruising. The apple journey from orchard to supermarket is very complex and apples are subjected to a variety of static and dynamic loads that could result in this damage occurring ...
