Optimising the structure and function of the adult P23H-3 retina by light management in the juvenile and adult.

This study tests the potential of light restriction to optimise retinal structure and function in adulthood, using the P23H-3 rhodopsin-mutant transgenic rat as a model. P23H-3 rats were reared in scotopic (5 lux) or mesopic (40-60 lux) cyclic (12 h/12 h light/dark) light. A further 2 groups were reared in one of these light conditions to P(postnatal day)30, and then were transferred to the other condition.

Software engineering and scale-free networks.

Complex-network theory is a new approach in studying different types of large systems in both the physical and the abstract worlds. In this paper, we have studied two kinds of network from software engineering: the component dependence network and the sorting comparison network (SCN). It is found that they both show the same scale-free property under certain conditions as complex networks in other fields.
