Compared to age- and gender-matched general population based on data from a nation-wide survey [ 26], cataract patients were preoperatively statistically significantly worse off on the dimensions seeing, moving, sleeping, usual activities, depression and distress, but better off on the dimension of mental function.
Compared with the population controls, patients were worse off on the dimensions of moving (P < 0.001), sleeping (P < 0.001), sexual activity (P < 0.001), vitality (P < 0.001), usual activities (P < 0.001) and discomfort and symptoms (P < 0.001).
However, as a trade-off, the dimensions of these sub-domains have to be restricted by the limitations imposed by perturbation theory.
This has left a huge opening in the market for competitors to pivot off the specific dimensions that matter most today: getting access to content from mobile devices, working from anywhere, sharing outside the firewall, and more.
So as we commemorate 9/11, we should also remember that this is also the 10th anniversary of 9/12 -- the day when the shock began to wear off, the full dimensions of the tragedy began to become clear, and the country began to decide what its reaction was going to be.
In line with our focus on the BPS trade-off, we focus on the dimensions of the Devil's Quadrangle.
It was easy for theorists to anchor the two ends of these strings to the brane, keeping them from escaping and effectively sealing off the extra dimension.
This space can be regarded as a reference in designing a BPS with the trade-off between the dimension of the BPS (and the QPS) and its current-carrying capacity.
However, the multi-step fabrication process that is necessary to produce cell/scaffold constructs with defined dimensions, limits their off-the-shelf translational usage.
