Intra-observer (within observers) and inter-observer (between observers) variability of the Oxford Clinical Cataract Classification and Grading System were studied. Twenty cataracts were examined and scored independently by four observers. On a separate occasion two of the observers repeated the ass

β¦ Synopsis
Standard ultrasound measurements were performed by two observers in 40 third-trimester fetuses. Observers were blinded to the results of the meaurements. Estimated fetal weight (EFW) was calculated using two published formulae. The intra-observer standard deviation for EFW, assessed using one-way analysis of variance, was <75 g for both observers. The 95% prediction intervals for inter-observer comparisons of EFW, calculated using the limits of agreement method, were -187.3 g to 139.8 g, and -159.9 g to 124.3 g, using the two formulae. The results suggest that measurements of EFW are reproducible. The prediction interval is comparable to the weekly fetal weight increment in normal fetuses.

## Abstract We present an analytical method to analyze, from a theoretical point of view, the influence of colorβmatching functions on the perception of luminance thresholds. We show that the thresholds depend on the spectral responsivities of each observer. We also analyze the influence of luminan
