Methods: Cross-sectional study of patients diagnosed with OHT and POAG. Visual fields were obtained using an Octopus 300 analyzer, TOP strategy. MCD and disc area were obtained using a Heidelberg Retina Tomograph. Results: The study sample comprised 234 eyes of 143 patients, 91 women and 52 men, mean age 63.55 years (SD 10.49). Mean values were: MCD 0.52 mm (SD 0.27), MD 2.78 dB (SD 5.02), CCT 543.5 μm (SD 36.63), IOP 16.73 mmHg (SD 2.93), and disc area 2.01 mm<sup>2</sup> (SD 0.39). A significant correlation was observed between MCD and age in patients under 60 years, between MCD and disc area, and between MD and disc area. Conclusions: Our study showed a correlation between MCD and age which was significant in patients under 60 years of age, between MCD and disc area and between MD and disc area, suggesting that the larger the disc area, the greater the MCD and the MD in patients with OHT and POAG.展开更多

Conventionally, the design of erasure codes has focused on the tradeoff between redundancy and reliability. Under this criterion, an maximum distance separable（MDS） code has optimal redundancy. In this paper, we address a new class of MDS array codes for tolerating triple node failures by extending the row di- agonal parity（RDP） code, named the RDDP（row double diagonal parity） code. The RDDP code takes advantages of good perform- ances of the RDP code with balanced I/0. A specific triple-erasure decoding algorithm to reduce decoding complexity is depicted by geometric graph, and it is easily implemented by software and hardware. The theoretical analysis shows that the comprehensive properties of the RDDP code are optimal, such as encoding and decoding efficiency, update efficiency and I/0 balance performance.展开更多
