  2. Strabismus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strabismus

    Incomitant strabismus cannot be fully corrected by prism glasses, because the eyes would require different degrees of prismatic correction dependent on the direction of the gaze. Incomitant strabismus of the eso- or exo-type are classified as "alphabet patterns": they are denoted as A- or V- or more rarely λ -, Y- or X-pattern depending on the ...

  3. Hagen–Poiseuille equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hagen–Poiseuille_equation

    v. t. e. In nonideal fluid dynamics, the Hagen–Poiseuille equation, also known as the Hagen–Poiseuille law, Poiseuille law or Poiseuille equation, is a physical law that gives the pressure drop in an incompressible and Newtonian fluid in laminar flow flowing through a long cylindrical pipe of constant cross section.

  4. Stokes' law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stokes'_law

    Stokes' law is important for understanding the swimming of microorganisms and sperm; also, the sedimentation of small particles and organisms in water, under the force of gravity. [5] In air, the same theory can be used to explain why small water droplets (or ice crystals) can remain suspended in air (as clouds) until they grow to a critical ...

  5. Prism correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_correction

    Prism dioptres. Prism correction is commonly specified in prism dioptres, a unit of angular measurement that is loosely related to the dioptre. Prism dioptres are represented by the Greek symbol delta (Δ) in superscript. A prism of power 1 Δ would produce 1 unit of displacement for an object held 100 units from the prism. [2]

  6. Esotropia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esotropia

    Esotropia is a form of strabismus in which one or both eyes turn inward. The condition can be constantly present, or occur intermittently, and can give the affected individual a "cross-eyed" appearance. [1] It is the opposite of exotropia and usually involves more severe axis deviation than esophoria. Esotropia is sometimes erroneously called ...

  7. Pressure-correction method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure-correction_method

    Pressure-correction method is a class of methods used in computational fluid dynamics for numerically solving the Navier-Stokes equations normally for incompressible flows. Common properties [ edit ] The equations solved in this approach arise from the implicit time integration of the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations .

  8. Jura water correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jura_water_correction

    The correction of the Jura waters has established a reliable system of water flow in the Aare. It has however shown its limits with the occurrence of the August 2007 floods. Indeed, the flow of the Aare rose to 1,260 cubic metres per second (44,000 cu ft/s) in Murgenthal and Lake Bienne exceeded its highest level limit by 540 millimetres (21 in ...

  9. Volume correction factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_Correction_Factor

    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})]\}}

  10. Thermodynamic pump testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_pump_testing

    The thermodynamic method is used for performance testing of pumps, flow meter calibration, system curve tests, and other applications. It is capable of achieving results with uncertainties of less than 1% in pump efficiency and less than 1.5% in flow [3] while being able to test piping configurations where other conventional pump testing ...

  11. Strabismus surgery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strabismus_surgery

    Esotropias measuring more than 15 prism diopters (PD) and exotropias more than 20 PD that have not responded to refractive correction can be considered candidates for surgery. Techniques Disinserting the medial rectus muscle. The goal of strabismus surgery is to correct misalignment of the eyes.
