See Matthew Luckiesh and Frank K. Moss, The Science of Seeing (London, 1937). This book comes with a cardboard insert to test visibility under different illuminations.

In some cultures, the elderly are revered in others, the elderly are left out to die, a primitive form of euthanasia. But it should not be forgotten that what goes around comes around. 

In both previously mentioned examples, a fundamental property of the myocardium, described by the Frank-Starting mechanism, comes into play. The Frank-Starling mechanism holds that the force of contraction generated by the heart is increased as the amount of blood filling the LV is increased and the myocardium is stretched (Moss and Fitzsimons, 2002 Vincent, 2008). In the example of valvular...
