Investments in photoreceptors compete with investments in optics to determine eye design [PDF]
eLifeEyes provide opportunities to understand the function, design, development, and evolution of elaborate sense organs. We take a new cost–benefit approach to understanding eye design by considering that optics and photoreceptors compete for the resources ...

The Relation of Quantitative and Mathematical Methods in Science and Late Medieval Christian Theology [PDF]
پژوهشنامه فلسفه دین, 2018 One of the most important features of modern science is its quantitative and mathematical method. It is commonly held that this method was developed along with modern science, during the 16th century, but a close historical investigation would suggest ...

Proton Beam Therapy in the Treatment of Periorbital Malignancies [PDF]
International Journal of Particle Therapy, 2021 Purpose: Periorbital tumor location presents a significant challenge with 3-dimensional conformal radiation therapy or intensity modulated radiation therapy due to high tumor dose needed in the setting of close proximity to orbital structures with lower ...

Optical Vortices shape Optical Tornados
Optics Express, 2023 We demonstrate that by seeding an accelerating ring-Airy beam with a finite number of off-axis optical vortices, it transforms into a Tornado wave (ToW) upon propagation. Using numerical simulations, we show that both the spiraling high-intensity lobes and the optical vortices exhibit angular acceleration and follow interwinding braid-like trajectories.
