THE BLEACHING LIMITS OF IRSL SIGNALS AT VARIOUS STIMULATION TEMPERATURES AND THEIR POTENTIAL INFERENCE OF THE PRE-BURIAL LIGHT EXPOSURE DURATION

The bleaching limits of IRSL signals at various stimulation temperatures and their potential inference of the pre-burial light exposure duration

Infrared Stimulated Luminescence (IRSL) techniques are being increasingly used for dating sedimentary feldspars in the middle to late Quaternary.By employing several subsequent stimulations at increasing temperatures, a series of post-IR IRSL (pIRIR) signals with different characteristics (stability and bleachability) can be obtained for an individ

A modified risk assessment scoring system for post laser in situ keratomileusis ectasia in topographically normal patients

Purpose: To evaluate and modify the Randleman Ectasia Risk Score System for predicting post-laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) ectasia in patients with normal preoperative corneal topography.Methods: In this retrospective study we reviewed data from 136 eyes which had undergone LASIK including 34 ectatic and 102 normal eyes between 1999 and 2009.
