Myopic search plans
… immediate detection, his strategy is said to be myopic. If, however, the searcher seeks to allocate search effort to maximize the probability of detecting the target within a preset amount of time, his strategy is called optimal. This thesis documents interactive computer programs that are useful …

Myopic Progression and Postoperative Exodrift in Patients with Intermittent Exotropia
PURPOSE: To investigate the relationship between myopic progression and exodrift after surgery in patients with intermittent exotropia (X[T]). METHODS: One hundred eighteen patients who underwent bilateral lateral rectus recession for X(T) and had a follow-up of more than 1 year were recruited. …

EXIT FROM THE MYOPIC IMPASSE: SOCIAL MOVEMENT STRATEGY IN THE AGE OF THE INTERNET
Our study traces and critically evaluates some of the major epistemological assumptions found in recent literature on the Global Justice Movement (GJM). Specifically, it problematizes the largely acritical discourse regarding the emancipatory potential of new Information and Communication …

Influence of ocular monochromatic aberrations in the development and/or progression of myopia
… ‘on’ and ‘off-axis’ ocular aberrations and a myopic change in refractive error using the data obtained longitudinally. Methods: On and off-axis aberrations of cyclopleged eyes (5 mm pupil diameter) of 646 children were measured during 2004-2005 (age, 12.7 ± 0.4 years) and 5 years later in …

An investigation of the relationship between the structure and function of the myopic eye. Correlating the optical, functional and structural aspects of ametropia in young adult humans.
… and functional characteristics of a group of myopic and emmetropic individuals. The technical experiments in this work investigated firstly the effect of instrument alignment on peripheral refraction measurements and revealed that the corneal vertex was an acceptable alignment position of the …

Stochastic Dynamic Optimization and Games in Operations Management
… domain of the first essay, identifies MDPs with myopic optima, namely sequential decision processes that can be solved via a temporal sequence of static problems. The first essay identifies new classes of MDPs with myopic optima and sequential games with myopic equilibrium points.</p><p>Seasonal …

Peripheral Refractive Error and its Association with Myopia Development and Progression. An examination of the role that peripheral retinal defocus may play in the origin and progression of myopia
… refractive errors in hyperopic, emmetropic and myopic children and to test the hypothesis that relative peripheral hyperopia is a risk factor in the onset and progression of myopia. Methods: Refraction was measured under non-cycloplegic conditions, at 0°, 10° (superior, inferior, temporal and …

Investigations into implementation of an iterative feedback tuning algorithm into microcontroller
… of an Iterative Feedback Tuning (IFT) and Myopic Unfalsified Control (MUC) Algorithm into microcontroller is investigated in this dissertation. Motivation in carrying out this research emanates from successful results obtained in application of IFT algorithm to various physical systems …

Lamina Cribrosa and Optic Nerve Head Geometry as a Function of Myopia in Older Normal Eyes
… errors and axial lengths (ALs) in highly myopic eyes (mean SE = -7.18 ± 1.17 D; mean AL = 26.41 ± 0.76 mm) were statistically different from emmetropic/low myopic eyes (mean SE = -1.59 ± 1.63 D; mean AL = 24.92 ± 1.06 mm) (P<.01). While RNFLT was thinner in older eyes with high myopia …

Essays in Economics Under Uncertainty
… periods and we assume that the agents behave non-myopically, i.e., they discount the future. We adopt a new equilibrium concept, the non-myopic core. A realized agreement in each period generates information that changes the underlying structure in the economy. In particular, we examine the …

A POMDP framework for antenna selection and user scheduling in multi-user massive MIMO systems
… the value iteration algorithm, we focus on the myopic policy to design a simple yet optimal algorithm. We prove that in the case of a positively correlated two-state Markov channel model, the myopic policy is optimal for antenna selection (for both in massive MISO and MU-MIMO systems) for any …

Refractive error, ocular biometry and oculomotor function: The prevalence of myopia and its potential risk factors in the Middle East, with an investigation of dynamic accommodation responses and axial length fluctuations in young myopic adults.
… length fluctuations were investigated in young myopic adults. The prevalence of myopia in 3000 Middle Eastern adults (age range 17-40 years) was similar to previously reported levels of myopia in the West. Myopia was associated with a higher level of education, occupations with a high nearwork …

Learning Successful Strategies in Repeated General-sum Games
… reinforcement learning algorithms learn myopic strategies in these games. As a result, they learn strategies that produce undesirable results in many games. In this dissertation, we develop and analyze algorithms that learn non-myopic strategies when playing many important infinitely …

Physiological responses of human retina and choroid to retinal image defocus: Implications for myopia
… three lens-imposed defocus conditions (2.00 D myopic, 2.00 D hyperopic, and no defocus). Recordings were made monocularly before and 24 hours after administration of one drop of the myopia-inhibiting agent atropine 0.1%. Signals reflecting outer (direct component, DC) and inner (induced …

Record and analysis with conclusions upon the examination of 1,041 school children attending the Bradford Eye and Ear Hospital, from April 1902 to November 1905
With -- regard to the Hypermetropíc eye becoming Myopic, I fail to find sufficient evidence as to whether the cause is due to the strain pure and simple, or to a diseased condition of the Choroid etc: Personally I think it is due to a combination of both of these conditions, although the: strain …
