Der Graue Star (Katarakt), die meist altersgetrübte Linse, kann durch eine ambulante Operation bei den meisten Patienten erfolgreich behandelt werden. Ursachen und Therapie der Erkrankung werden in diesem Buch anschaulich und gut verständlich beschrieben. Die Operation zum Austausch der getrübten Linse gegen eine moderne Intraokularlinse (IOL) ist der häufigste Eingriff am Auge hierzulande. Sowohl das Standard-Verfahren, die Phakoemulsifikation, als auch die Operation mit dem Laser sind sicher und präzise. Dieser Ratgeber informiert verständlich und umfassend zur Behandlung der Volkskrankheit Grauer Star und und nimmt die Angst vor der Operation.

Free Download Formation and Evolution of Star-Forming Filaments in Molecular Clouds by Daisei Abe
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2024 | 109 Pages | ISBN : 9819764130 | 39.4 MB
This book clears up some confusion in the field of star formation and proposes a solution to a problem that remains unsolved for more than a decade. Observations of molecular clouds show that dense filaments are the sites of present-day star formation, and it is thus necessary to understand the filament formation process because the filament is an initial condition in a star formation process. Theoretical studies suggest that shock waves in molecular clouds trigger filament formation. Several different mechanisms have been proposed, and the formation mechanism of the observed star-forming filaments is expected to be clarified. In this book, the author performs a series of isothermal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) simulations of filament formation and identifies the formation mechanisms. It is found that the dominant filament formation mode changes with the velocity of the shock waves that trigger the filament formation. The filament width plays an important role in determining the fragmentation scale by self-gravity, and observations show that the width 0.1 pc is universal. On the other hand, in theory the width of the supercritical filaments was considered to be narrowed by self-gravity. Recent studies suggest that massive filaments are bound by the slow shocks that are caused by accretion flows onto the filaments. Since the wavefront of such a slow shock is known to be unstable as a slow shock instability (SSI), the accretion ram pressure is expected to be converted into thermal/turbulent pressure across the shock front, which potentially maintains the width. In the scale of dense filaments, ambipolar diffusion (AD) suppresses the SSI at small scales. The influence of AD on SSI is investigated using two-dimensional MHD simulations, and the nonlinear evolution of the SSI with AD is found to drive turbulences. The book demonstrate the effect of SSI including AD onto the filament evolution.

Free Download Hua-Bai Li, "The Tai Chi in Star Formation "
English | ISBN: 1643278843 | 2017 | 64 pages | PDF | 24 MB
Tai Chi, a Chinese martial art developed based on the laws of nature, emphasises how ‘to conquer the unyielding with the yielding.’ The recent observation of star formation shows that stars result from the interaction between gravity, turbulence and magnetic fields. This interaction again follows the natural rules that inspired Tai Chi. For example, if self-gravity is the force that dominates, the molecular cloud will collapse isotropically, which compresses magnetic field lines. The density of the yielding field lines increases until magnetic pressure reaches the critical value to support the cloud against the gravitational force in directions perpendicular to the field lines (Lorentz force). Then gravity gives way to Lorentz force, accumulating gas only along the field lines till the gas density achieves the critical value to again compress the field lines. The Tai Chi goes on in a self similar way.
