Comparison between variations in solar UV radiation and sunspot parameters with Mg II daily index as a proxy

Physics Open
Solar UV radiation influence the Earth's climate and upper atmosphere. The UV emission from the Sun modulates with the sunspot cycle with an 11-year periodicity.

Inter‐eye microvascular asymmetry across stages of diabetic retinopathy: An OCT angiography study

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To evaluate inter‐eye asymmetry in macular microvascular parameters across different stages of diabetic retinopathy (DR) using OCT angiography, and to explore the associations with clinical factors. Methods This cross sectional study included 442 eyes of 221 patients with diabetes mellitus type 2. Central subfield thickness (CST), area

Analyses of Johannes Kepler’s Sunspot Drawings in 1607: A Revised Scenario for the Solar Cycles in the Early 17th Century

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Telescopic sunspot observations began in 1610 and captured subsequent solar cycles. In combination with proxy reconstructions on an annual scale, these data sets indicate a gradual transition between regular solar cycles and the Maunder Minimum.

Harmonizing Sunspot Datasets Consistency: Focusing on SOHO/MDI and SDO/HMI Data

Universe
To ensure the long-term consistency of sunspot group data, it is essential to harmonize measurements from SOHO/MDI and SDO/HMI, two major solar observatories with overlapping coverage.

Explainable deep learning self‐supervised vision transformer for fundus‐based myopia classification

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To develop and validate a self‐supervised vision transformer (ViT) for automated three‐class classification of Normal, High Myopia (HM), and Pathologic Myopia (PM) from colour fundus photographs, with anatomically faithful interpretability. Methods A DINOv2 self‐supervised ViT was fine‐tuned using a two‐stage transfer‐learning protocol

Exploration of the relevancy of nutritional knowledge and self‐perceived nutrition competency of the UK Optometric Workforce

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose This study investigated the self‐perceived competence, knowledge, confidence and attitudes of the UK optometric workforce with regard to nutritional advice for patients. Methods A validated questionnaire (NUTrition COMPetence) was used to survey the optometric workforce, which was adapted to UK optometric practice and nutritional ...

Observed Joy’s Law of Bipolar Magnetic Region Tilts at Emergence Supports the Thin Flux Tube Model

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Bipolar sunspots, or more generally, bipolar magnetic regions (BMRs), are the dynamic magnetic regions that appear on the solar surface and are central to solar activity. One striking feature of these regions is that they are often tilted with respect to

Statistical study of the equatorial F2 layer critical frequency at Ouagadougou during solar cycles 20, 21 and 22, using Legrand and Simon’s classification of geomagnetic activity

Journal of Space Weather and Space Climate, 2012
This paper presents the statistical analysis of the diurnal variations of the F layer at the equatorial station of Ouagadougou (Lat: 12.4° N; Long: 358.5° E; dip: 5.9°) from 1966 to 1998 (=> ~11 680 days).

Evaluation of spatial distribution of initial marking strategy among inexperienced graders in diabetic retinopathy: A retrospective cross‐sectional analysis

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Manual diabetic retinopathy (DR) grading may prefer certain regions and underestimate others. It is unclear if inexperienced graders' initial marking strategy reflects a specialist's marking pattern. Aims By the virtual ocular learning platform (VIOLA), we evaluated if initial DR‐lesion markings among inexperienced graders spatially

Sunspot number recalibration: The ~1840–1920 anomaly in the observer normalization factors of the group sunspot number

Journal of Space Weather and Space Climate, 2017
We analyze the normalization factors (k′-factors) used to scale secondary observers to the Royal Greenwich Observatory (RGO) reference series of the Hoyt & Schatten (1998a, 1998b) group sunspot number (GSN).
