A generalized reflectance method for determination of optical properties of absorbing materials is developed and compared with other reflectance methods. In the present scheme the specimen is coated with dielectric transparent layer(s) and the reflectance ratios are measured. This novel scheme of specimen preparation and the method of measurement allow the specimen to be free from surface layers and at the same time account for possible effects of surface roughness. It can be applied to a wide variety of materials regardless of their surface conditions and is particularly useful for metals.

Computational models of eye movement control during reading have revolutionized the study of visual, perceptual, and linguistic processes underlying reading. However, these models can only simulate and test predictions about the reading of single lines of text. Here we report two studies that examined how input variables for lexical processing (frequency and predictability) in these models influence the processing of line-final words.

Purpose: Protein arginine methyltransferase 1 (PRMT1) is an integral constituent of numerous cellular processes. However, its role in corneal epithelial wound healing (CEWH) remains unclear. This study investigates the impact of PRMT1 on cellular mechanisms underlying corneal epithelial repair and its potential to improve wound healing outcomes.

Importance: Additional data are required regarding atropine treatment regimens for control of myopia progression.
Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of different atropine regimens for myopia in children.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This was a secondary analysis of the 3-year results of the 24-Month Myopia Outcome Study of Atropine in Children (MOSAIC) trial, called the MOSAIC2 trial.

Purpose: To extract conjunctival bulbar redness from standardized high-resolution ocular surface photographs of a novel imaging system by implementing an image analysis pipeline.
Methods: Data from two trials (healthy; outgoing ophthalmic clinic) were collected, processed, and used to train a machine learning model for ocular surface segmentation. Various regions of interest were defined to globally and locally extract a redness biomarker based on color intensity.

Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) demonstrate outstanding biocompatibility and optical properties, making them ideal for monitoring cellular uptake. Due to their ultra-small size (typically < 10 nm) and fluorescent nature, CQDs hold significant potential as nanoparticles for bioimaging and tracking intracellular processes. The study examined the optimization parameters for conjugating calf thymus DNA (Ct-DNA) to CQDs to facilitate Ct-DNA internalization in mouse fibroblast cells (L929) and human breast cancer cells (MCF-7).
