Develop Prototype of Web-Based Computer Problem Information System
The aim of this project is to develop a prototype of Web based Computer Problem Information System. This system is an assistant tool for user to find information regarding computer problem especially in finding solution. It applies knowledge base and web base application in order to add element such as user friendly, usefulness,
pleasing and informative. This prototype has been developed using Object-oriented approach focusing on Object Modeling Technique methodology and Rapid
Application Development with Unified Modeling Language notation. The development of this prototype starts with analysis phase and ended with testing. This project discusses some findings, problem encountered and limitation of the project’s development. Finally, brief recommendation given as contribution to the future
development
The temporal impulse response function in infantile nystagmus.
Despite rapid to-and-fro motion of the retinal image that results from their incessant involuntary eye movements, persons with infantile nystagmus (IN) rarely report the perception of motion smear. We performed two experiments to determine if the reduction of perceived motion smear in persons with IN is associated with an increase in the speed of the temporal impulse response. In Experiment 1, increment thresholds were determined for pairs of successively presented flashes of a long horizontal line, presented on a 65-cd/m2 background field. The stimulus-onset asynchrony (SOA) between the first and second flash varied from 5.9 to 234 ms. In experiment 2, temporal contrast sensitivity functions were determined for a 3-cpd horizontal square-wave grating that underwent counterphase flicker at temporal frequencies between 1 and 40 Hz. Data were obtained for 2 subjects with predominantly pendular IN and 8 normal observers in Experiment 1 and for 3 subjects with IN and 4 normal observers in Experiment 2. Temporal impulse response functions (TIRFs) were estimated as the impulse response of a linear second-order system that provided the best fit to the increment threshold data in Experiment 1 and to the temporal contrast sensitivity functions in Experiment 2. Estimated TIRFs of the subjects with pendular IN have natural temporal frequencies that are significantly faster than those of normal observers (ca. 13 vs. 9 Hz), indicating an accelerated temporal response to visual stimuli. This increase in response speed is too small to account by itself for the virtual absence of perceived motion smear in subjects with IN, and additional neural mechanisms are considered
Primary multicentric cutaneous epithelioid angiosarcoma
Cutaneous epithelioid angiosarcoma is a rare malignant vascular tumor,
most commonly affecting elderly men, and is usually located on the
extremities. We report a case of an 81-year-old lady who presented with
two ulcerated plaques over the right temporal and parietal scalp of 1
year duration. The right submaxillary and submandibular lymph nodes
were enlarged and tender. Computed tomography (CT) scan of the head
showed soft tissue swelling over parietal and temporal areas and there
was no intracranial extension. Ultrasonogram of the abdomen showed
hyperechoic areas in liver suggestive of secondaries. Histopathology of
the skin lesion showed the dermis and subcutis composed of clusters of
atypical epithelioid cells with vesicular nuclei, prominent nucleoli
and eosinophilic cytoplasm with increased mitotic figures.
Immunohistochemical staining revealed CD-31, 33, 34 and vimentin
positivity, while cytokeratin was negative confirming the diagnosis of
epitheloid angiosarcoma. This case report highlights the unusual
occurrence of multicentric epitheloid angiosarcoma on the scalp with
secondaries in the liver
