ABSTRACT
The paper investigated the role of electrical activities in visual perception in human and animals. This review highlighted the Absorption of zero and one photon in visual perception, Measurement of visual acuity, Optical constraints on visual perception, Photochemistry of Vision and  colour vision, however Human ability to see is strictly dependent on the electrical signals  generated within the body. Among the recommendations, physics, is an umbrella of medicine and as such be made compulsory in all spheres of the medical practice.    


INTRODUCTION
The retina contains light transduction elements called photoreceptors which are the rods and the cones. Their names depict their morphology Arden and Hogg (1992)
The discs in the photoreceptors contain light sensitive chemical and these discs store a large concentration of Ca++, the light incident on the eye meet the photoreceptors from behind. The absorption of light energy by these discs causes a change in structure of the receptors but not a change in shape. The absorption of light by the Ca++ block and the Na+ release into the nerves leads to an inhibitory action of the light when it falls on the retina. This is a process of hyperpotamation of the nerves due to the light-absorption. The transmitter released by the photoreceptor is suppressed by hyperpotances, the second order neurons. By this process the light signal is signaled to the second order retinal neurons and from there to the visual cortex, hence depolarization of the rods in the Clark Arden and Hogg (1992)
          In short in visual perception, light energy hv is converted to electrical energy by the process of hyperpolarization by the photoreceptors.

Absorption of zero and one photon in visual perception
          The detection is assumed to be a noise free event and the distribution of photon in the test pulse is given by the poison distribution:
P(n, ) = e-n   n

CHINA- PAKISTAN ECONOMIC CORRIDOR (CPEC), ITS IMPACTS ON PAKISTAN ECONOMY

CHINA- PAKISTAN ECONOMIC CORRIDOR (CPEC), ITS IMPACTS ON PAKISTAN ECONOMY Sutinder Singh and John Mohd Magray GDC, Bijbehare Anantnag India, GDC, Pulwama, India Email: singh.john@ymail.co.uk ABSTRACT China is opening up its land borders in Xinjiang to interact more freely with central Asia and Europe. China and Pakistan are jointly building the china- Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), with passes through Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. India views this is as violation of its sovereignty. Geopolitics rather than geo-economics predominates India’s thinking on possibilities offered by the revival of the old Silk Road by the Chinese. The CPEC project has been divided into phases, the first phase being the completion of Gwadar International Airport and major developments of Gwadar Port. This phase is expected to be completed by the year 2017. The project also includes the expansion of Karakoram Highway- the road that connects China with Pakistan and placement of fiber-optic line ...

A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE TIDE AND THE PUNCH NEWSPAPERS NEWS PRESENTATION

A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE TIDE AND THE PUNCH NEWSPAPERS NEWS PRESENTATION 1 Amadi, Richard Nlemanya and 2 Chibunna, Egwele Godstime, 2 Department of Mass Communication, Rivers State University of Science and Technology, Nkpolu-Oroworukwo, Port Harcourt, 2 Port Harcourt Based Public Affairs Analyst and Media Consultant Email: richnleamadione@yahoo.com , barongodstime@gmail.com ABSTRACT The typology of media ownership in Nigeria has orchestrated competition between government and privately owned newspapers as they both strive to achieve maximum efficiency in the discharge of the journalistic functions. Unarguably, ownership is one of the major problems facing the media in Nigeria, be it private or government. This study, however, investigated two prominent newspapers – The Tide and The Punch with a view to examine how of ownership pattern has influenced news coverage and presentation    using the genre of news accorded prominence by the newspapers a...
