Spectacle Lenses With Highly Aspherical Lenslets for Myopia Control : A Randomized Clinical Trial
Introduction Myopia represents a global health crisis that increases susceptibility to sight-threatening ocular diseases.1 Global prevalence is projected to reach 50% by 2050,2 while US prevalence rose from 25% to 42% over 3 decades.3 This increase implicates environmental factors, including educational pressure, digital devices use, and reduced outdoor time.4 While most individuals who develop myopia currently do not develop pathologic myopia in their lifetimes, increasing myopia severity...
Micro Additive Manufacturing at the Front End
Additive manufacturing has entered a more mature (and arguably more valuable) phase. For years, discussion centered on whether 3D printing could replace conventional manufacturing. Increasingly, the strongest applications aren’t trying to replace proven production methods. They are reshaping how products get to production, compressing development cycles, reducing risk and improving decision-making long before a production tool exists. That shift matters most in micro manufacturing.
Visual impact of diffusion optic technology lenses for myopia control
Myopia control spectacles with diffusion optics technology have been shown to slow the progression of myopia effectively, but it is important to understand their visual impact. This study assessed the difference between children adapted for at least 3 years to diffusion optics technology to a matched group wearing single vision lenses.

Mental Mountains: Depression and Climbing
Several months ago, I went on a climbing trip to Nepal; my friend Tom Livingstone and I had an incredible experience and it produced some good photos and a short film. The reality for me throughout the trip however was a constant mental battle to even want to be there. As we walked towards our basecamp teahouse for the month, I wonder how Tom stays so positive all the time.
Adam Raja: Redefining Identity in The Mountains
For many of us, access to adventure in the outdoors is something we take for granted. It provides a place to unwind, somewhere free of the constraints of daily life, representing an opportunity to escape and reconnect, perhaps hone a craft. But it’s a privilege not readily available to everyone. For Climber, adventure photographer, climate activist and BASE Collective member Adam Raja, having grown up in the urban outskirts of Glasgow, his route to the mountains was far from straightforward.
Cooking in caves: Palaeolithic carbonised plant food remains from Franchthi and Shanidar
Introduction The dietary choices and food preparation technologies of Palaeolithic hunter-gatherers are the subject of much debate. Palaeolithic peoples have been portrayed, for example, as specialist hunters focusing on large mammals (Richards & Trinkhaus Reference Richards and Trinkaus2009) or as generalist foragers targeting easy-to-gather resources out of necessity, due to pressures on the availability of preferred animal prey (Stiner et al.
Hp omen 15-5211 won't boot after new battery
01-07-2021 02:16 PM Hi there, I have just replaced my battery on this laptop which otherwise works well. It is a third party battery but seems identical and will power the laptop. I have forced it to do so by powering on with the old battery and then installing the new one while fully on and plugged into the mains. But when you restart.... Again it will not boot.... Powers on but screen stays blank.
Issues of theory and method in the analysis of Paleolithic mortuary behavior: A view from Shanidar Cave
Abstract Mortuary behavior (activities concerning dead conspecifics) is one of many traits that were previously widely considered to have been uniquely human, but on which perspectives have changed markedly in recent years. Theoretical approaches to hominin mortuary activity and its evolution have undergone major revision, and advances in diverse archeological and paleoanthropological methods have brought new ways of identifying behaviors such as intentional burial.
222 scientists agree: This is the biggest threat to future generations
The bushfires raging across Australia this summer have sharpened the focus on how climate change affects human health. This season bushfires have already claimed more than 30 human lives, and many people have grappled with smoke inhalation and mental health concerns.
"Wonder gases" of the 1920s are doing something unexpected today
One of the earliest climate model predictions of how human-made climate change would affect our planet showed that the Arctic would warm about two to three times more than the global average. Forty years later, this “Arctic amplification” has been observed firsthand. Record-breaking Arctic warming and the dramatic decline of sea ice are having severe consequences on sensitive ecosystems in the region. But why has the Arctic warmed more than the tropics and the mid-latitudes?

Why Zealandia is so different from other continents
Three years ago, the identification of Zealandia as a continent made global headlines. Now, newly published results from our scientific drilling expedition reveal the largely submerged Zealandia continent, which stretches across five million square kilometers beneath the southwest Pacific Ocean, was shaped by two tectonic events. First, it was ripped away from Australia and Antarctica, and then it was carved by forces that started the Pacific Ring of Fire.
Amazon Trees Write Autobiographies, Preserving Human History In Their Wood
A Brazil nut tree in Jaú National Park, Amazonas, Brazil. (Image: Victor Caetano-Andrade) Tropical forests are one of the world’s largest carbon stores and they help regulate the global climate. But they’re being erased at a terrifying rate. Deforestation claimed an area the size of Belgium in 2018. These habitats are often cleared to make way for palm oil plantations and grazing pasture for livestock. For most forests, destruction on this scale is a fairly modern phenomenon.

Peeling Back the History of the Banana
This article was originally published atThe Conversationand has been republished under Creative Commons. In a globalized world, we routinely move enormous quantities of food around the planet in trade and for aid. Many countries, including the U.K., would struggle to feed their populations without food imports. Most people are used to being able to buy a wide range of produce that domestic farmers would struggle—or find impossible—to grow.

In a globalised world, we routinely move enormous quantities of food around the planet in trade and for aid. Many countries, including the UK, would struggle to feed their populations without food imports. Most people are used to being able to buy a wide range of produce which domestic farmers would struggle – or find impossible – to grow. A typical example is the banana, once a prized exotic novelty, but now a staple in many country’s supermarkets.
Prehistoric people started to spread domesticated bananas across the world 6,000 years ago
Bananas are one of the most widely grown, traded and eaten of all the crops – an essential and much-loved part of the diet for many people around the world. Modern bananas are sterile, containing only tiny residual seeds, so new banana plants are propagated from cuttings. The sterile domesticated banana is the result of ancient cross-breeding between wild species. In contrast, wild bananas are packed full of bullet-like seeds and contain very little edible fruit.
Four Ways Your Competition Values Security More Than You Do

STEAM work makes the dream work
All schools are stretched. We know this, but as a brand-new school with only 120 students, our budget is extremely tight - especially when we factor in recruiting experienced staff. At Aureus School in Didcot, through STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Maths) specialism we are not only trying to teach our students how to be more creative. We, as staff, must do this as well in trying to make the budget work.
3 ways to stay proactive during uncertain times
Medical practice owners need to be prepared for anything and everything. Changing regulations, a turbulent economy, natural disasters, and data security breaches are just a few of the uncertainties a practice may face. The optimal time to prepare for a crisis is before it ever happens, so that if disaster hits, you’re ready to respond. Hurricane Irma caused an estimated total damage cost of over $300 billion. We received calls from many South Florida doctors in need of funding.
Evidence of Paleolithic Ornaments in Decorated Snail Shells in Iraq
Our excavations at Shanidar Cave in north-eastern Iraq have produced a tiny shell plaque which was made by the first modern people in the region. This little object seems to have been made to ornament something showy, suggesting a very modern enjoyment of a bit of bling – but it also shows unexpected complexity. Shanidar Cave in the Zagros Mountains is an important Neanderthal site.

The Amazon's ancient human history is written in its trees
When I started doing fieldwork in Borneo 17 years ago, most people thought of tropical forests as wildernesses, hostile to civilised human life and home only to vagrant, primitive people. Major textbooks portrayed these forests as largely unchanging over several million years. This mindset suited common political goals, previously for imperial expansion and more lately for corporate development.
