Correct ordering in the Zipf-Poisson ensemble
We consider a Zipf--Poisson ensemble in which X_i\sim\poi(Ni^{-\alpha}) for
and and integers . As the first
random variables have their proper order relative to each
other, with probability tending to 1 for up to
for an explicit constant . The
rate cannot be achieved. The ordering of the first
entities does not preclude for some interloping . The first
random variables are correctly ordered exclusive of any interlopers, with
probability tending to 1 if for . For
a Zipf--Poisson model of the British National Corpus, which has a total word
count of , our result estimates that the 72 words with the
highest counts are properly ordered

Scoping Review of the development of artificial eyes throughout the years
Losing an eye following trauma can lead to profound psychosocial difficulties making it imperative for the wearer to be fitted with an aesthetically pleasing custom-made artificial eye. Despite recent technological advancements, current design and manufacturing processes have remained unchanged in over 55 years. With the aim of portraying current knowledge regarding the development of artificial eyes in order to aid future development, a scooping review was conducted. Six online search engines were used: Scopus, PubMed, MedLine Complete, Web of Science, Science Direct and Google Scholar. Thirty-eight articles met the inclusion criteria and underwent numerical and thematic analysis with three thematic themes emerging. History and the current process of artificial eyes has been well documented, however, the impact of wearing artificial eyes is sparse. On-going research and development into the design and manufacturing processes of artificial eyes and the psychosocial impact of wearing an artificial eye is needed
Empirical stationary correlations for semi-supervised learning on graphs
In semi-supervised learning on graphs, response variables observed at one
node are used to estimate missing values at other nodes. The methods exploit
correlations between nearby nodes in the graph. In this paper we prove that
many such proposals are equivalent to kriging predictors based on a fixed
covariance matrix driven by the link structure of the graph. We then propose a
data-driven estimator of the correlation structure that exploits patterns among
the observed response values. By incorporating even a small fraction of
observed covariation into the predictions, we are able to obtain much improved
prediction on two graph data sets.Comment: Published in at http://dx.doi.org/10.1214/09-AOAS293 the Annals of

The importance of incorporating technological advancements into the artificial eye process: a perspective commentary
Application of technology into healthcare has typically been targeted to high demand illnesses and treatments. However, with an increasing need to meet patientâs expectations combined with increased accessibility and reduced costs, smaller healthcare fields are starting to investigate its function and usability. Services have historically been led by skills and expertise, and recent developments are being seen by ocularists in the field of prosthetic eyes who acknowledge the potential benefit from technological advancement. Utilising the technologies recently investigated in maxillofacial prosthesis can start the evolutionary process where products are continually re-designed and re-developed to achieve excellent patient outcome and satisfaction levels

Retinoblastoma: Identifying the Diagnostic Signs for Early Treatment
Retinoblastoma is a rare but significant cause of childhood eye cancer world-wide. The prognosis depends upon early diagnosis and treatment but also upon accurate classification of the tumours. Unilateral incidence is normally non-hereditary compared with bilateral incidence where secondary tumours are more common. Survivorship is much better for unilateral compared with bilateral and trilateral retinoblastoma. Early signs are important to detect and photography can assist in identifying no return of âred-eyeâ during flash photography and yellow appearance of the tumour. Treatment options are discussed together with new psycho-oncology approaches that address potential trauma in the survivor as well as in the family of the survivor

Ablation debris control by means of closed thick film filtered water immersion
The performance of laser ablation generated debris control by means of open immersion techniques have been shown to be limited by flow surface ripple effects on the beam and the action of ablation plume pressure loss by splashing of the immersion fluid. To eradicate these issues a closed technique has been developed which ensured a controlled geometry for both the optical interfaces of the flowing liquid film. This had the action of preventing splashing, ensuring repeatable machining conditions and allowed for control of liquid flow velocity. To investigate the performance benefits of this closed immersion technique bisphenol A polycarbonate samples have been machined using filtered water at a number of flow velocities. The results demonstrate the efficacy of the closed immersion technique: a 93% decrease in debris is produced when machining under closed filtered water immersion; the average debris particle size becomes larger, with an equal proportion of small and medium sized debris being produced when laser machining under closed flowing filtered water immersion; large debris is shown to be displaced further by a given flow velocity than smaller debris, showing that the action of flow turbulence in the duct has more impact on smaller debris. Low flow velocities were found to be less effective at controlling the positional trend of deposition of laser ablation generated debris than high flow velocities; but, use of excessive flow velocities resulted in turbulence motivated deposition. This work is of interest to the laser micromachining community and may aide in the manufacture of 2.5D laser etched patterns covering large area wafers and could be applied to a range of wavelengths and laser types
