The appropriate treatment for binocular diplopia depends upon the cause of the condition producing the symptoms. Efforts must first be made to identify and treat the underlying cause of the problem. Treatment options include eye exercises, [2] wearing an eye patch on alternative eyes, [2] [24] prism correction , [26] [24] [27] and in more ...
The scale factor is unity on the equator, as it must be since the cylinder is tangential to the ellipsoid at the equator. The ellipsoidal correction of the scale factor increases with latitude but it is never greater than e 2, a correction of less than 1%. (The value of e 2 is about 0.006 for all reference ellipsoids.) This is much smaller than ...

(1971–2011) The New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision ( NYSDOCCS) is the department of the New York State government [3] that administers the state prison and parole system, including 44 prisons funded by the state government.

v. t. e. Body mass index ( BMI) is a value derived from the mass ( weight) and height of a person. The BMI is defined as the body mass divided by the square of the body height, and is expressed in units of kg/m 2, resulting from mass in kilograms (kg) and height in metres (m). The BMI may be determined first by measuring its components by means ...
The QT interval is a measurement made on an electrocardiogram used to assess some of the electrical properties of the heart.It is calculated as the time from the start of the Q wave to the end of the T wave, and approximates to the time taken from when the cardiac ventricles start to contract to when they finish relaxing.
Prism adaptation. Prism adaptation is a sensory-motor adaptation that occurs after the visual field has been artificially shifted laterally or vertically. It was first introduced by Hermann von Helmholtz in late 19th-century Germany as supportive evidence for his perceptual learning theory (Helmholtz, 1909/1962). [1]
The federal debt at the end of the 2018/19 fiscal year (ended September 30, 2019) was $22.7 trillion (~$27.1 trillion in 2023). The portion that is held by the public was $16.8 trillion. Neither figure includes approximately $2.5 trillion owed to the government. [83] Interest on the debt was $404 billion.
An oblique prism is a prism in which the joining edges and faces are not perpendicular to the base faces. Example: a parallelepiped is an oblique prism whose base is a parallelogram, or equivalently a polyhedron with six parallelogram faces. Right Prism. A right prism is a prism in which the joining edges and faces are perpendicular to the base ...
