In the pre-anti-VEGF [vascular endothelial growth factor] era, submacular surgery was investigated as an option for managing subfoveal CNV [choroidal neovascularization]. This was motivated the dismal visual outcomes and potential risk of acute loss of vision with thermal laser photocoagulation in these cases. The technique of submacular surgery has also been used to access extrafoveal, juxtafoveal, peripapillary and occult CNVs in the subretinal space.... The surgical technique of submacular surgery is well-defined... Access is created through initial three-port pars plana vitrectomy. 3, record 1, English, - submacular%20surgery

Replacement of the retinal pigment epithelium(RPE) is emerging as a promising approach to treat degenerative retinal diseases, including age-related macular degeneration and Stargardt disease, in which RPE function cannot otherwise be restored.

Direct listings are an alternative to initial public offerings(IPOs) in which a company does not work with an investment bank to underwrite the issuing of stock. While forgoing the safety net of an underwriter provides a company with a quicker, less expensive way to raise capital, the opening stock price will be completely subject to market demand and potential market swings. In a direct listing, instead of raising new outside capital like an IPO, a company's employees and investors convert their ownership into stock that is then listed on a stock exchange.

The arrangement of the beam-penetration CRT is similar to that of normal CRT's; the only unusual component is the multilayer phosphor, in which a layer of red phosphor is deposited behind the initial layer of green phosphor. If a fairly low-potential electron beam strikes the tube face, it excites only the red phosphor and therefore produces a red trace. When the accelerating potential is increased, the velocity of the beam striking the phosphor is greater, and as a result the beam penetrates into the green phosphor, increasing the green component of the light output. 1, record 11, English, - beam%2Dpenetration%20CRT

énergie potentielle : La force [...] résulte de l'interaction entre deux corps; l'énergie potentielle U(M) associe à cette interaction est donc une propriété de l'ensemble des deux corps, qui interagissent, et dépend de la distance relative entre ces corps, tandis que l'énergie cinétique est attachée à un seul objet et dépend de sa vitesse. Par suite, l'énergie potentielle totale d'un ensemble de particules est la somme des énergies potentielles de chaque paire de particules en interaction. À chaque type d'interaction correspond une énergie potentielle particulière : électrostatique, de gravitation, élastique, etc. 2, record 13, French, - %C3%A9nergie%20potentielle%20d%27interaction
