In order to facilitate the corneal stromal ablation in photorefractive keratectomy the epithelium is removed so corneal repair associated with changes in epithelium and stroma. To study the corneal epithelial thickness and pachymetry profile changes after photorefractive keratec­tomy (PRK) for myopia. Retrospective analysis of the postoperative corneal epithelial thickness and pachymetry profile changes in 22 eyes of 12 patients treated with PRK for myopia or myopic astigmatism. Corneal and epithelial thickness maps within the central 6 mm were obtained by anterior segment spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) preop­eratively and at 3 months postoperatively. Correlations between pachymetry,epithelial thickness changes and the amount of correction,were analyzed.Compared to preoperative values,the central 2 mm and the paracentral 2 to 5 mm zone epithelium was 1 ± 2.85 and 1 ± 3.11 μm thicker,respec­tively,at 3 months postoperatively (P <.05). The spheri­cal equivalent (SE) changed from-2.80 ± 2.028 diop­ters (D) preoperatively to -0.40 ± 0.42 D at 3 months postoperatively. Females show greater postoperative epithelial thickening, 2.6 ± 3.77 μm,than males,0.34 ± 1.98 μm. There was a trend toward greater epithelial thickening with a larger amount of programmed SE correction, and thinner preoperative epithelium. No correlation between epithelial thickness change and postoperative change in refraction was detected.Negative correlation between between age, refractive error,with the pre and post-operative pachymetry. In general female pachymetry reading is higher than it in male.The corneal epithelial thickness in­creased after PRK up to 3 months postoperatively. It was affected by the amount of myopia treated, gender, and preoperative epithelial thickness. The refractive outcomes did not affected by the postoperative epithelial thickening. Negative correlation between between age, refractive error, with the pre and post-operative pachymetry. In general female pachymetry reading is higher than it in male.

AbstractAn apparatus is described for measuring the thermal conductivity of ice by the transient hot-wire method. Thermal conductivity A, is determined by tracking the thermal pulse induced in the sample by a heating source consisting of a platinum resistor. A central segment of the same platinum heating resistor acts also as a thermal sensor. A heat pulse transferred to the ice for a period of 40s gives a maximum temperature increment of about 7-14°C. In good experimental conditions, the expected reproducibility of the measurements is within ±3%. The accuracy of the method depends on whether the instrument has been calibrated by reliable standard samples, certified by absolute methods.

The accurate prediction of liquid leak rates in packing seals is an important step in the design of stuffing boxes, in order to comply with environmental protection laws and health and safety regulations regarding the release of toxic substances or fugitive emissions, such as those implemented by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Technische Anleitung zur Reinhaltung der Luft (TA Luft). Most recent studies conducted on seals have concentrated on the prediction of gas flow, with little to no effort put toward predicting liquid flow. As a result, there is a need to simulate liquid flow through sealing materials in order to predict leakage into the outer boundary. Modelling of liquid flow through porous packing materials was addressed in this work. Characterization of their porous structure was determined to be a key parameter in the prediction of liquid flow through packing materials; the relationship between gland stress and leak rate was also acknowledged. The proposed methodology started by conducting experimental leak measurements with helium gas to characterize the number and size of capillaries. Liquid leak tests with water and kerosene were then conducted in order to validate the predictions. This study showed that liquid leak rates in packed stuffing boxes could be predicted with reasonable accuracy for low gland stresses. It was found that internal pressure and compression stress had an effect on leakage, as did the thickness change and the type of fluid. The measured leak rates were in the range of 0.062 to 5.7 mg/s for gases and 0.0013 and 5.5 mg/s for liquids.
