Purpose: To evaluate the accuracy of the cylinder power choice and the astigmatic refractive outcome for toric intraocular lenses (IOLs), the cylinder power of which was calculated using the Goggin nomogram that allows for the likely effect of posterior corneal astigmatism.
Setting: The Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Adelaide, Australia.
Design: Observational case series.
Methods: The absolute value of the prediction error of the toric IOL cylinder power effect in consecutive eyes with preoperative anterior keratometric cylinder values of 1.0 diopter (D) or more was compared with the absolute value of the prediction error in a historical control group. The anteriorly measured keratometric cylinder values were altered by 2 coefficients of adjustment, one for with-the-rule eyes and one for against-the-rule eyes, before calculation of the IOL cylinder power to be implanted. In the controls, unadjusted keratometric cylinder values were used.
Results: The case-series group comprised 31 eyes (29 patients) and the control group, 65 eyes. The absolute error in prediction of the toric IOL cylinder power effect was reduced from a median of 0.45 D (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.33-0.58) in the controls to a median of 0.23 D (95% CI, 0.13-0.35) in the adjusted eyes (P = .004).
Conclusion: Adjustment of toric IOL cylinder power by application of a coefficient of adjustment to anteriorly measured keratometric cylinder values based on the keratometric rule of the eye led to a clinically and statistically significant improvement in refractive astigmatic outcome.

The optimization of heat transfer in various engineering applications, such as thermal management systems and energy storage devices, remains a crucial challenge. This study aims to investigate the potential of Casson-based Cu-HO nanofluids in enhancing free convection heat transfer within complex geometries. The research examines the free convection heat transfer and fluid flow characteristics of a Casson-based Cu-HO nanofluid within a semi-parabolic enclosure that includes a wavy corrugated cylinder.

In order to promote power conversion efficiency and reduce energy loss, we propose a perovskite solar cell based on cylindrical MAPbI3 microstructure composed of a MAPbI perovskite layer and a hole transport layer (HTL) composed of PEDOT:PSS. According to the charge transport theory, which effectually increases the contact area of the HTL, promoting the electronic transmission capability, the local field enhancement and scattering effects of the surface plasmon polaritons help to couple the incident light to the solar cell, which can increase the absorption of light in the active layer of the solar cell and improve its light absorption efficiency (LAE). based on simulation results, a cylindrical microstructure of the perovskite layer increases the contact area of the hole transport layer, which could improve light absorption, quantum efficiency (QE), short-circuit current density (J), and electric power compared with the perovskite layer of other structures.

The triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) has been proved to be a very promising marine energy harvesting technology. Herein, we have developed a high-performance triboelectric nanogenerator (SD-TENG) with low friction, high durability, swing-induced counter-rotating motion mechanism (SICRMM) and dual potential energy storage and release strategy (DPESRS). The unique counter-rotating motion mechanism enabled SD-TENG to convert the external linear and swing motion energy into rotation motion energy of the inner and outer cylinders, and then converted it into a controllable power output.
