Aiden booted the door and watched as it crumpled like paper. His foot had caught a splinter, but his brain eluded the pain entirely; it could only register the reeking musk of cocktailed bourbon and baked cigars. “Junkies…,” he murmured, eyes trailing forward. The hall ahead was poorly lit. A pitiful chandelier was suspended from the ceiling and was flickering desperately, only barely exposing the writing on decrepit walls beside it. He studied it closely. Graffiti had been interesting

(GVE) fibers. The GSE fibers are responsible for innervating most of the muscles in the orbit that move the eye. These muscles are the levator palpebrae superioris, the superior rectus, the medial rectus, the inferior rectus, and the inferior oblique muscles. The GVE fibers are a part of the parasympathetic nervous system. These fibers innervate muscles in the ciliary body to focus the eye on nearby objects and the sphincter pupillae, which constricts the pupil (Drake, Mitchell, & Vogl, 2012). The

3D Printed Glass for the Correction of Eye Defects Shyam Vignesh Perumal1 Affiliations: 1 Department of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering, University of South Florida Abstract: We propose to use 3D printing for fabrication of glasses providing image correction for myopia. Since myopia commonly known short-sightedness is a condition characterized by the light focusing in from of retina instead of on its surface, concave lenses are typically used for correction. Unfortunately price of the glasses

My lenses in the beginning were very cloudy, not at all, like the white cat caught in my peripheral, as I headed out the door for work. A white cat, that means good luck, clean, and a loyal pet, right? On the other hand, if the cat had been black, well that’s a whole other story. A black cat brings bad luck, if it crosses your path, always dirty, and devious. Growing up a cat was described in these two ways. Well it didn’t matter, I never had a cat, didn’t much care to get to know one, plus I glanced

My own marigolds like the one in the story “Marigolds” by Eugenia Collier was a simple yet elegant plastic painting in the shape of a penguin. I got it as a return gift from a birthday party I attended when I was about 10-12 years old. After painting it the best as I could I had to let it dry so I had the best idea ever which was to put it over an air vent so that the drying process would be sped up. I put my painting near the air vent that leads to the porch. Then came time for the monthly potluck

disparity is when images from both eyes are different and when the object is nearby, the disparity is larger, e.g.; if you cover your right eye and look straight ahead you won’t be able to see anything on the right peripheral area. In contrast, if you cover your left eye and look straight ahead you won’t be able to see anything on the left peripheral area. Convergence is a neuromuscular cue. It causes both eyes to move inward to view near objects. Convergence allows the eye to focus and therefore create

I, Officer Alejo, responded to 1300 Cemetery Road in regards to a death. Upon arrival to Riverland Loafs, I spoke to Rupert Creeper about what he knew. He said he went to go check on Olga's apartment because he had got a call from her saying she was having plumbing issues. Upon arrival to Bierstube's apartment, when suddenly he opened the door, looking inside it was pitch black with a bright light flickering on and off, finding Bierstube hanging from the corner ceiling; from the head. Therefore;

How do Chameleons change color? Synonymous with color, Chameleons are well known for their ability to change color. Transforming from bright green to bright red. A unique ability, that has laid admiration and fame, that has spread across the world. Thus, for my first curiosity journal, my question is the same as that of a spectator, being treated to a Chameleons transformation. How do Chameleons change color? well, a couple years ago, you would have been told it was because of pigment manipulation
