Spatial clustering of ocular chlamydial infection over time following treatment, among households in a village in Tanzania.

abstract：:Moiré fringes generated by two equal gratings in contact, looked at in Maxwellian view, are well suited for the assessment of retinal visual acuity. High-contrast fringes practically free from spatial harmonics (higher Fourier components) are obtained if, instead of the zero diffraction order, one first-order diffract...
