A memory leak can cause an increase in memory usage, performance run-time and can negatively impact the user experience. [4] Eventually, in the worst case, too much of the available memory may become allocated and all or part of the system or device stops working correctly, the application fails, or the system slows down vastly due to thrashing .
Other sources restrict the use of the word to temporary, reversible vision loss, distinguishing it from permanent blindness in a hierarchy of effects: "when the eye perceives bright light one of four reactions may take place. These are, in order of increasing brightness: dazzle, after image formation, flash blindness, and irreversible damage.
Anisocoria has various causes: [3] Physiological anisocoria: About 20% of population has a slight difference in pupil size which is known as physiological anisocoria. In this condition, the difference between pupils is usually less than 1 mm. [4] Horner's syndrome
A finned air cooled heatsink with fan clipped onto a CPU, with a smaller passive heatsink without fan in the background A 3-fan heatsink mounted on a video card to maximize cooling efficiency of the GPU and surrounding components Commodore 128DCR computer's switch-mode power supply, with a user-installed 60 mm cooling fan.
A distant object is defined as an object located beyond 6 meters (20 feet) from the eye. [citation needed] When an object is located close to the eye, the rays of light from this object no longer approach the eye parallel to each other. Consequently, the eye must increase its refractive power to bring those rays of light together on the retina.
The American Medical Association has estimated that the loss of one eye equals 25% impairment of the visual system and 24% impairment of the whole person; [27] [28] total loss of vision in both eyes is considered to be 100% visual impairment and 85% impairment of the whole person.
There are no rods in the very center of the visual field (the foveola), and highest performance in low light is achieved in near peripheral vision. [4] The maximum angular resolution of the human eye is 28 arc seconds or 0.47 arc minutes; [23] this gives an angular resolution of 0.008 degrees, and at a distance of 1 km corresponds to 136 mm ...
In Northern European populations about one in 9,000 people carries one of the three primary LHON mutations. [ 40 ] [ 41 ] There is a prevalence of between 1:30,000 to 1:50,000 in Europe. The LHON ND4 G11778A mutation is the primary mutation in most of the world, with 70% of Northern European cases and 90% of Asian cases.
