In the current time, the development of urban centers is a very complex process in terms of new residential or administrative building locations expansion, but also in terms of design and/or the combination of the constructions with the environment. In the same context, the various transport development, communication or social activities facilities require an important database and an infrastructure to ensure and satisfy the population needs at the highest level. Accordingly, interest has developed in the smart cities (SC) concept creation with connection possibilities over extended geographical areas. This paper addresses a problem related to the preparation and ensuring the development of Brasov city as a smart city, with the possibility of finding solutions for low-vision people’s mobility and opening even more access to the city’s infrastructure. The paper’s main objectives and contributions are represented by the current considerations provision for ensuring functionality as a smart city by identifying the involvement points of the administrative system and, respectively, by introducing technical solutions for the low-vision people inclusion, having their mobility as a central element. The research results reveal the capacity and flexibility of permanent adaptation actions of public administrative and educational/research institutions to different population categories (with or without disabilities, active or retired, etc.) requirements regarding inclusion and mobility.
Contact lenses are currently a practical and effective solution for the correction of refractive errors but also for the application of orthokeratology procedures in cases of keratoconus or high myopia pathologies. In orthokeratology procedures, the contact lenses used are rigid (hard) and are made of biocompatible materials resulting in a composite structure together with the cornea of the human eye. Thus, the contact lenses for orthokeratology have the effect of deforming the corneal surface, in the latter inducing a series of residual and inertial stress states through which changes in the refractive power of the entire eyeball are obtained. This paper presents aspects related to the approach of the corneal‐contact lens composite structure as a thin curved plate set. Also, the study is completed with the determination of the different aspects in section and an anisotropic structure which implies an approach of biomechanical behavioral analyzes both in terms of the elastic component and the viscosity component manifested in the corneal structure. As shown by specialists, the cornea topography is determined by the balanced state between the internal and external forces acting on it and its mechanical rigidity, which is, in turn, defined by the cornea geometry, the biomaterial thickness, and rigidity. Therefore, the development of studies on the corneal‐contact lens combination in orthokeratology as a composite structure is closest to the real behavior of the whole.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
