Stability of small incision lenticule extraction over laser in situ keratomileusis at an altitude of 3874 m by Yanming Huang, Yuancheng Zhao, Xiaofan Chen, Huan zou, Rongdi Yuan

“…Abstract The purpose of this study was to evaluate the stability of small-incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) and laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) when ascending from near sea level to an altitude of 3874 m. The visual acuity (VA), intraocular pressure (IOP), spherical equivalent refraction (SER) and biometric parameters of 20 normal subjects (40 eyes, controls) and 36 subjects who underwent corneal refractive surgery (35 eyes with SMILE and 36 eyes with LASIK) were examined in Chongqing (C, 500 m above sea level) and 7–10 days after a collective travel to Shigatse (S, 3874 m above sea level). …”

Particle composition-based water classification method for estimating chlorophyll-a in coastal waters from OLCI images by Siwen Gao, Chao Zhou, Lingling Jiang, Jingping Xu

“…Furthermore, we determined the distribution of monthly averaged Chl-a concentration and POM/SPM ratio on the coast of Qinhuangdao, Bohai Sea, in 2023. Our results show, for the first time, that the monthly average variations of the POM/SPM ratio in the Bohai Sea and Chl-a concentrations exhibit pronounced seasonal fluctuations.…”
