text: Article Text. Abstract. Suppression scotomas and retinal projection (retinal correspondence) were measured in six intermittent exotropes during deviation. Measurements used red-green anaglyph stimuli presented on a black background which could be varied from 3.4 minutes of arc to 3 degrees 24'. Results showed non-suppression of all points between the fovea and the diplopia point. Harmonious anomalous retinal correspondence was usually observed. Two subjects had spontaneous changes from anomalous retinal correspondence to normal retinal correspondence without a concurrent change in ocular position. Conventional testing resulted in more variable results in regard to retinal correspondence and suppression, suggesting that non-suppression and anomalous retinal correspondence occur when black backgrounds are used.

Lesson Title: Understanding Vision and Perception

Introduction:
Vision is the process by which we perceive our surroundings using light that enters our eyes. However, there are many factors that can affect our perception of what we see, including suppression scotomas and retinal projection. In this lesson, we will explore these concepts and how they relate to vision and perception.

Core Value:
The core value of this lesson is to understand how our visual system works and how external factors can affect our perception of the world around us.

Section 1: Suppression Scotomas

Suppression scotomas are areas of reduced or absent vision that occur when the brain blocks out information that it deems unimportant. This can happen when we are focusing on one thing and ignore other stimuli. For example, if you stare at a fixed point and then quickly look away, you may not see the moving objects around it because your brain has suppressed them.

Questions and Answers:
- What is suppression scotoma?
- How does it affect our perception of the world around us?
- Can you think of any other examples of suppression scotomas?

Section 2: Retinal Projection

Retinal projection refers to the way our eyes project images onto the retina, which is the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye. This projection determines the size and shape of the images we see.

Questions and Answers:
- What is retinal projection?
- How does it relate to vision and perception?
- Can you explain the difference between retinal projection and visual acuity?

Section 3: Harmonious Anomalous Retinal Correspondence

Harmonious anomalous retinal correspondence is a phenomenon where the images projected onto the retinas of both eyes do not match up perfectly, causing a slight distortion in our perception of the world around us. This can be caused by differences in the focal lengths of the two eyes or by strabismus, which is a misalignment of the eyes.

Questions and Answers:
- What is harmonious anomalous retinal correspondence?
- How does it differ from suppression scotomas and retinal projection?
- Can you think of any ways to correct for harmonious anomalous retinal correspondence?

Conclusion:
In conclusion, understanding the concepts of suppression scotomas, retinal projection, and harmonious anomalous retinal correspondence can help us better understand how our visual system works and how external factors can affect our perception of the world around us. By learning about these concepts, we can also learn how to better cope with visual impairments and improve our overall quality of life.

Glossary:
- Suppression scotomas: Areas of reduced or absent vision caused by the brain blocking out unimportant information.
- Retinal projection: The way images are projected onto the retina, determining their size and shape.
- Harmonious anomalous retinal correspondence: A phenomenon where the images projected onto the retinas of both eyes do not match up perfectly, causing a slight distortion in our perception of the world around us.

High School Level:
In this lesson, we explored the concepts of suppression scotomas, retinal projection, and harmonious anomalous retinal correspondence. We learned how these concepts relate to vision and perception and how they can affect our perception of the world around us. We also discussed ways to correct for harmonious anomalous retinal correspondence and how understanding these concepts can improve our overall quality of life.

College Level:
This lesson focused on three core concepts related to vision and perception: suppression scotomas, retinal projection, and harmonious anomalous retinal correspondence. We examined the ways in which these concepts can affect our perception of the world around us and discussed various methods for correcting for harmonious anomalous retinal correspondence. Additionally, we explored the relationship between these concepts and our overall quality of life.

I’m doing some of the things that I care about, and letting others fall by the wayside.. I can’t put more hours in the day, but I can try to use them better. That means less television, YouTube videos and Twitch streams, and more time spent creating things.. I want to get back to writing on a regular basis. For now, that means challenging myself to write at least one blog post per week for the month of June. Eventually I’d like to get back to creative writing.. I want to start drawing and painting again. I’m hoping to pick up a sketchbook this week.. I want to take and share more photos. Here are a few that I took in the park this weekend.. As we head towards summer, where are you? Do you have things that you want to change, opportunities to be better?

Lesson: Goal Setting and Time Management
Introduction:
Setting goals and managing time effectively is an essential skill that helps individuals achieve their objectives in life. In this lesson, we will learn how to set SMART goals, prioritize tasks, and manage our time efficiently.
Section 1: SMART Goals
A goal is a desired outcome or result that an individual or organization hopes to achieve. To ensure that goals are achievable, they should be Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-bound (SMART).
Specific: A good goal should be clear and well-defined. It should state what you want to achieve and why it is important.
Measurable: A goal should be measurable so that you can track your progress and know when you have achieved it.
Attainable: A goal should be realistic and achievable. It should stretch your abilities but not be impossible to achieve.
Relevant: A goal should be relevant to your overall objectives and aspirations.
Time-bound: A goal should have a deadline to give you a sense of urgency and help you prioritize your tasks.
Example: I want to improve my fitness level.
Specific: I want to lose 10 pounds in two months.
Measurable: I will measure my weight every week to track my progress.
Attainable: Losing 10 pounds in two months is achievable with a healthy diet and regular exercise.
Relevant: Improving my fitness level is important because it will improve my overall health and well-being.
Time-bound: I will start on January 1st and aim to reach my goal by March 1st.
Section 2: Prioritizing Tasks
Once you have set your goals, you need to prioritize your tasks to ensure that you are focusing on the most important ones. There are several ways to prioritize tasks, including the Eisenhower Matrix and the ABC method.
The Eisenhower Matrix: This method involves categorizing tasks into four quadrants based on their urgency and importance. Tasks that are both urgent and important are classified as A, while those that are important but not urgent are classified as B. Tasks that are neither urgent nor important are classified as C, and those that are urgent but not important are classified as D.
The ABC Method: This method involves categorizing tasks based on their importance. Tasks that are important and require immediate attention are classified as A, while those that are important but can wait are classified as B. Tasks that are not important are classified as C.
Example: If you have a list of tasks to complete, you can use the Eisenhower Matrix to prioritize them. Tasks that are both urgent and important (A) should be completed first, followed by tasks that are important but not urgent (B), tasks that are urgent but not important (D), and finally, tasks that are not important (C).
Section 3: Time Management Techniques
Once you have set your goals and prioritized your tasks, you can use several time management techniques to ensure that you are making the most of your time. These include the Pomodoro Technique, the 80/20 Rule, and the Two-Minute Rule.
The Pomodoro Technique: This technique involves breaking down your workday into 25-minute intervals called pomodoros, with a five-minute break between each interval. After four pomodoros, you take a longer break of 15-30 minutes. This technique helps you focus on your work and avoid distractions.
The 80/20 Rule: Also known as the Pareto Principle, this rule states that 80% of results come from 20% of efforts. By identifying the 20% of tasks that yield 80% of results, you can focus on the most important tasks and avoid wasting time on less important ones.
The Two-Minute Rule: This rule states that if a task can be done in two minutes or less, you should do it immediately instead of putting it off. By completing small tasks quickly, you can save time and reduce your workload.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, setting SMART goals, prioritizing tasks, and managing your time effectively are essential skills that can help you achieve your objectives in life. By following the techniques discussed in this lesson, you can make the most of your time and achieve your goals successfully.

Characterizing the Sources of Pharmacokinetic Variability for TAK-117 (Serabelisib), an Investigational Phosphoinositide 3-Kinase Alpha Inhibitor: A Clinical Biopharmaceutics Study to Inform Development Strategy.
TAK-117 (also known as MLN1117 or serabelisib) is an orally available inhibitor of phosphoinositide 3-kinase alpha being developed for treatment of solid tumors. This clinical study in healthy subjects assessed the relative bioavailability of a TAK-117 tablet compared with a capsule formulation (part 1) and the effect of food (part 2) and intragastric pH modulation (part 3) on TAK-117 pharmacokinetics. In part 1, subjects received single doses of 900 mg TAK-117 under fasting conditions as capsules and tablets on 2 different occasions in random order. In part 2, subjects received a single dose of 600 mg TAK-117 under fed (high-fat meal) or fasted conditions on 2 different occasions in random order. In part 3, subjects received a single dose of 900 mg TAK-117 alone and in combination with lansoprazole in a fixed sequence. Blood samples were collected up to 72 hours after each TAK-117 dose. The geometric mean ratios (90% confidence intervals) for the area under the TAK-117 plasma concentration-time curves were 1.53 (0.93-2.51) for tablets versus capsules, 1.50 (1.00-2.25) for fed versus fasted, and 0.02 (0.01-0.04) for TAK-117 plus lansoprazole compared with TAK-117 alone. The most common adverse event was nausea, the incidence of which was reduced when TAK-117 was administered with food despite the increased systemic exposure. The incidence of all adverse events was reduced when TAK-117 was administered with lansoprazole, which was consistent with the substantial reduction in bioavailability. Intersubject variability of TAK-117 was high. Careful management of intragastric pH-modulatory concomitant medications and food intake may be required.

Lesson: Pharmacokinetics and Drug Development

Introduction:
Pharmacokinetics is the study of how a drug moves through the body. It is an essential part of drug development because it helps scientists understand how a drug works, how much of the drug is needed, and how often it should be given. In this lesson, we will learn about the factors that affect pharmacokinetics, including absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion. We will also explore how these factors can be optimized to develop effective drugs.

Section 1: Absorption
Absorption is the process by which a drug enters the bloodstream. There are several factors that can affect absorption, including the route of administration, the formulation of the drug, and the presence of food or other substances in the body. For example, some drugs are absorbed more quickly if they are taken on an empty stomach, while others may be affected by the presence of fat or protein in the diet.

Questions:
1. What is absorption in pharmacokinetics?
2. How does the route of administration affect absorption?
3. How does the formulation of a drug affect its absorption?
4. What is the impact of food or other substances on drug absorption?

Section 2: Distribution
Once a drug has been absorbed into the bloodstream, it must be distributed throughout the body to reach its target site. Factors that can affect distribution include the blood flow to different organs, the ability of a drug to cross cell membranes, and the binding of a drug to proteins in the blood.

Questions:
1. What is distribution in pharmacokinetics?
2. How does blood flow affect drug distribution?
3. Can drugs cross cell membranes? If so, how?
4. How does the binding of a drug to proteins affect its distribution?

Section 3: Metabolism
Metabolism is the process by which the body breaks down and eliminates drugs. This can occur through various mechanisms, including oxidation, reduction, and hydrolysis. Some drugs are primarily metabolized in the liver, while others may be metabolized in other organs or tissues.

Questions:
1. What is metabolism in pharmacokinetics?
2. How does the liver affect drug metabolism?
3. Can drugs be metabolized in other organs or tissues?
4. What are the different mechanisms of drug metabolism?

Section 4: Excretion
Excretion is the process by which drugs and their metabolites are eliminated from the body. This can occur through the kidneys, the liver, or other elimination pathways. The rate of excretion can affect the duration and intensity of a drug's effects.

Questions:
1. What is excretion in pharmacokinetics?
2. How does the kidney affect drug excretion?
3. Can drugs be excreted through other pathways?
4. How does the rate of excretion affect the duration and intensity of a drug's effects?

Conclusion:
Understanding pharmacokinetics is essential for developing effective drugs. By optimizing absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion, scientists can ensure that drugs reach their target site, have the desired effect, and are safely eliminated from the body.

Glossary:
- Absorption: The process by which a drug enters the bloodstream.
- Distribution: The process by which a drug is transported throughout the body to reach its target site.
- Metabolism: The process by which the body breaks down and eliminates drugs.
- Excretion: The process by which drugs and their metabolites are eliminated from the body.

Lesson: The Purpose of Education

Introduction:
Education is a fundamental right for every individual, but what is the true purpose of education? In this lesson, we will explore the different perspectives on the purpose of education and analyze the arguments for and against each viewpoint.

Section 1: The Traditional View of Education
The traditional view of education is that its purpose is to teach obedience and limit learning. This view is based on the idea that education should focus on rote memorization and repetition rather than critical thinking and creativity. This approach was popularized in the 19th century by the Prussian education system, which was designed to produce obedient and submissive soldiers.

Questions:
- What is the traditional view of education?
- Why was the Prussian education system designed to produce obedient soldiers?
- How does this approach differ from modern views on education?

Section 2: The Progressive View of Education
The progressive view of education is that its purpose is to promote critical thinking and creativity. This approach emphasizes the importance of hands-on learning and real-world experiences. Progressive educators believe that children should be encouraged to explore their interests and passions rather than being forced to learn material that may not be relevant to their lives.

Questions:
- What is the progressive view of education?
- How does this approach differ from the traditional view of education?
- What are some examples of hands-on learning experiences?

Section 3: The Libertarian View of Education
The libertarian view of education is that its purpose is to prepare individuals for the workforce. This approach emphasizes practical skills and job training rather than critical thinking and creativity. Libertarians argue that the government should not be involved in education, as it is not a legitimate function of government.

Questions:
- What is the libertarian view of education?
- Why do libertarians believe that the government should not be involved in education?
- How does this approach differ from the traditional and progressive views of education?

Conclusion:
In conclusion, the purpose of education is a complex and nuanced topic. While there are many different perspectives on the role of education, it is clear that education plays a critical role in shaping our society and our individual lives. By understanding the different views on education, we can make informed decisions about our own educational journey and work towards creating a more just and equitable society.

Glossary:
- Traditional view of education: The belief that education should focus on rote memorization and repetition rather than critical thinking and creativity.
- Progressive view of education: The belief that education should promote critical thinking and creativity through hands-on learning experiences.
- Libertarian view of education: The belief that education should prepare individuals for the workforce by emphasizing practical skills and job training.

Q:

Distributing $k$ objects in $n$ boxes vs. how many 4 letter words can we make?

I am trying to find a relation to the following two problems:

Problem 1: Mary bought $14$ different baseball cards, and wants to give all of them to her son Jack over $7$ days. In how many ways can she do this?

$\underline{Solution}$:
The total number of ways she can do this $7^{14}$ since there are $n^k$ ways to distribute $k$ distinguishable objects into $n$ distinguishable boxes. QED

Problem 2: How many $4$-letter words can we make with $26$ letters?

$\underline{Solution}$:
There are $26^4$ ways of making $4$-letter words with $26$ letters, as for the first slot of the $4$-letter word, there are $26$ choices of letters, for the second slot of the $4$-letter word, there are $26$ choices of letters, etc. So we get $26\times 26 \times 26 \times 26=26^4$ by the multiplication rule. QED
Now I would like to relate the two problems since both solutions are of the same form. Therefore for:
Problem 1 I can say the first card has $7$ choices of days to be given on, the second card has $7$ choices of days to be given on, etc. So there are $7 \times 7 \ldots \times 7=7^{14}$ ways of distributing $14$ cards over $7$ days.
Problem 2 I can say there are $4$ distinguishable objects (positions of each letter in the $4$-letter i.e. slot$_1$, slot$_2$, slot$_3$, slot$_4$) and $26$ distinguishable boxes (letters) so there are $26^4$ ways of distributing $4$ slots into $26$ letters.
In Problem 1 it makes sense to think of it both ways, but for Problem 2 we clearly have to do some mental acrobatics for it to make sense, which could lead to some confusion about what to consider boxes and what to consider objects. Namely, I am confused about how to think of the following problem:

A retired person chooses randomly one of the six distinguishable parks of his town every day and spends the day there hiking. How many different ways can he spend $10$ days?

I want to say $6^{10}$ as the first day he has $6$ choices, on the second day he has $6$ choices, etc. But I also want to say $10^6$ because this smells like the Problem 1. PLEASE HELP ME
Anything you offer is greatly appreicated. I am losing my mind

A:

In "Problem 1", the number of choices is $7$ while the number of times the choice is made is $14$. In "Problem 2", there are $26$ choices of letter and you make that choice $4$ times, so there are $26^4$ possible 4-letter outcomes. For the retired person, the number of choices is $6$ while the number of times he must make that choice is $10$. So, you are correct that it is $6^{10}$.

textbook:
The number of ways to distribute $k$ distinguishable objects into $n$ distinguishable boxes is $n^k$. This is because each box can either have an object or not have an object, so there are $2^n$ possible configurations. Since there are $k$ objects, there are $n^k$ ways to distribute them among the $n$ boxes.

For Problem 2, the number of ways to make a $4$-letter word with $26$ letters is $26^4$. This is because for each position in the word, there are $26$ choices of letters. So, there are $26$ choices for the first letter, $26$ choices for the second letter, $26$ choices for the third letter, and $26$ choices for the fourth letter. Thus, the total number of possible $4$-letter words is $26\times 26\times 26\times 26 = 26^4$.

In both cases, the solutions involve raising a power to another power, which is a common technique in counting problems. The difference between the two problems lies in the base case of the exponent. In Problem 1, the base case is $7$, while in Problem 2, the base case is $26$.

In conclusion, the two problems are related in that they both involve counting objects in some way. However, the specifics of the problems differ in the number of objects being counted and the context in which they are being counted.
