1 |  | Olson, Randall J.; Samore, Matthew H.; Pace, Nathan L. | Dysphotopsia in phakic and pseudophakic patients: incidence and relation to intraocular lens type(2) | PURPOSE: To determine the relationship between various intraocular lens (IOL) types and the incidence of unwanted light images. SETTING: The Moran Eye Center, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA. METHODS: A telephone questionnaire was administered to 302 postoperative patients who had rece... | Cataract Extraction; Visual Acuity; Lenses, Intraocular; Lens Implantation, Intraocular | 2000-06 |
2 |  | Sokolsky, Pierre | Energy estimation of UHE cosmic rays using the atmospheric fluorescence technique | We use the CORSIKA air shower simulation program to review the method for assigning energies to ultra-high energy (UHE) cosmic rays viewed with the air fluorescence technique. This technique uses the atmosphere as a calorimeter, and we determine the corrections that must be made to the calorimetric ... | Fluorescence; Energy estimation; Ultra-high energy cosmic rays | 2000-08 |
3 |  | DeTar, Carleton | First signs for string breaking in two-flavor QCD | We have been examining the phenomenon of string breaking in QCD with two flavors of dynamical staggered quarks. We construct a transfer matrix from a combination of "string" and "two-meson" channels. Preliminary results with low statistics show the expected signs of string breaking. | String breaking; Wilson loop; Staggered quarks | 2000-04 |
4 |  | DeTar, Carleton | Heavy-light decay constants with dynamical gauge configurations and Wilson or improved valence quark actions | We describe a calculation of heavy-light decay constants including virtual quark loop effects. We have generated dynamical gauge configurations at three _x000C_ values using two flavors of Kogut-Susskind quarks with a range of masses. These are analyzed with a Wilson valence quark action. Prelimin... | Decay constants; Kogut-Susskind quarks; Wilson quarks; Fat-clover valence quarks | 2000-04 |
5 |  | Olson, Randall J.; Pingree, Michael F.; Lundergan, Maureen K. | Penetrating keratoplasty for keratoconus: a long-term review of results and complications | PURPOSE: To study the long-term complications of penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) to evaluate current recommendations to patients with keratoconus. SETTING: John Moran Eye Center, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA. METHODS: Retrospective study of all PKP procedures for keratoconus performe... | Visual Acuity; Refraction, Ocular; Keratoconus; Astigmatism | 2000-07 |
6 |  | Olson, Randall J.; Mamalis, Nick; Spencer, Terrence S. | Postoperative sterile endophthalmitis (TASS) associated with the memorylens | PURPOSE: To report 10 cases of delayed-onset acute intraocular inflammation following cataract extraction and posterior chamber implantation of the MemoryLens(R) intraocular lens (IOL). SETTING: John A. Moran Eye Center, Department of Ophthalmology, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA. MET... | Memory Lens; Toxic Anterior Segment Syndrome; Retrospective Studies; adverse effects | 2000-12 |
7 |  | DeTar, Carleton | Semileptonic decays of heavy mesons with the fat clover action | We are studying a variety of semileptonic decays of heavy-light mesons in an effort to improve the determination of the heavy-quark Standard-Model CKM matrix elements. Our fermion action is a novel, improved "fat" clover action that promises to reduce problems with exceptional configurations. Dynami... | Semileptonic decay; Decay constants; Staggered quarks; Fat-clover valence quarks | 2000-04 |
8 |  | Olson, Randall J. | Update on a long-term, prospective study of capsulotomy and retinal detachment rates after cataract surgery | PURPOSE: To evaluate the retinal detachment risks and neodymium:YAG (Nd:YAG) capsulotomy rates associated with different cataract approaches and intraocular lens (IOL) styles in a long-term,prospective clinical study. SETTING: Clinical practice of 1 ophthalmologist, Fort Collins, Colorado, USA. METH... | Cataract Extraction; Laser Therapy; Retinal Detachment; Risk Factors | 2000-07 |
9 |  | Olson, Randall J. | Wound complications associated with incision enlargement for foldable intraocular lens implantation during cataract surgery | PURPOSE: To determine the relationship between various intraocular lens (IOL) types and the incidence of unwanted light images. SETTING: The Moran Eye Center, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA. METHODS: A telephone questionnaire was administered to 302 postoperative patients who had rece... | Cararact Surgery; Incision Enlargement; Wound Complications; Vision Disorders | 2000-06 |
