BACKGROUND: Choroidal thickness (CTh) and choroidal vessel diameter (VD) in the Haler's layer were evaluated as markers of inflammatory insult in non-infectious uveitis (NIU). Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (Spectralis®, Heidelberg Engineering Inc.) scans were acquired from 23 normal subjects...

Orthogonal coordinates and hyperquantization algorithm. The NH3 and H3O+ umbrella inversion levels.

The journal of physical chemistry. A

Ragni M, Lombardi A, Barreto PR, Bitencourt AC.
PMID: 19757778
J Phys Chem A. 2009 Dec 31;113(52):15355-65. doi: 10.1021/jp906415m.

In order to describe the umbrella inversion mode, which is characteristic of AB(3)-type molecules, we have introduced an alternative hyperspherical coordinate set based on a parametrization of Radau-Smith orthogonal vectors and have considered constraints which allow us to enforce...
