  2. Prism correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_correction

    The most common application for this is the treatment of strabismus. By moving the image in front of the deviated eye, double vision can be avoided and comfortable binocular vision can be achieved. Other applications include yoked prism where the image is shifted an equal amount in each eye.

  3. Atomic absorption spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_absorption_spectroscopy

    Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) measures the concentration of specific elements in a sample by analyzing their unique "fingerprint" in the form of an atomic absorption spectrum. Here's how it works: Step 1: Sample Preparation:**. The sample is typically dissolved in a suitable solvent (acids, water) to create a liquid solution.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_Correction_Factor

    Formula and usage The formula for Volume Correction Factor is commonly defined as: V C F = C T L = exp ⁡ { − α T Δ T [ 1 + 0.8 α T ( Δ T + δ T ) ] } {\displaystyle VCF=C_{TL}=\exp\{-\alpha _{T}\Delta T[1+0.8\alpha _{T}(\Delta T+\delta _{T})]\}}

  8. Periodic boundary conditions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_boundary_conditions

    Unit cell with water molecules, used to simulate flowing water. Periodic boundary conditions (PBCs) are a set of boundary conditions which are often chosen for approximating a large (infinite) system by using a small part called a unit cell. PBCs are often used in computer simulations and mathematical models. The topology of two-dimensional PBC ...

  9. Esophoria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esophoria

    Esophoria is an eye condition involving inward deviation of the eye, usually due to extra-ocular muscle imbalance. It is a type of heterophoria. Cause. Causes include: Refractive errors; Divergence insufficiency; Convergence excess; this can be due to nerve, muscle, congenital or mechanical anomalies.

  10. Epidote - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epidote

    Epidote is an abundant rock-forming mineral, but one of secondary origin. It occurs in marble and schistose rocks of metamorphic origin. It is also a product of hydrothermal alteration of various minerals ( feldspars, micas, pyroxenes, amphiboles, garnets, and others) composing igneous rocks. A rock composed of quartz and epidote is known as ...
