Analytical electrical model for a Si liquid crystal light valve.
An approximate analytical model has been developed which allows the voltage characteristics of the liquid crystal layer of a silicon liquid crystal light valve to be determined once the photocurrent level and device parameters have been specified. This model significantly decreases the computation time compared to current numerical techniques.
Liquid crystal light valves: A review of recent studies
Recent studies of the dynamics of nematic liquid crystals as well as in modeling of the photoactivated and CCD-addressed liquid crystal light valves are described. Recent developments in the visible to IR dynamic image converter are reviewed.
The Legacy of Art in Plastic Surgery
Summary The consistent relationship between surgery and art has been very well documented since 2000 BC. The close relationship between plastic surgery and art is historical and is still expected by the public and our patients. This article emphasizes the many links plastic surgery has with art, and presents a few practical examples of its reverberation in aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgery procedures. Based on his surgical and actual sculpting activities in the realm of contemporary art, the author elaborates on 7 contributions art education affords the plastic surgery praxis, as an incentive and a reflection of its value to the plastic surgeon’s life.
