Flicker

There is various flickering light in our environment; for
  instance, light from computer screens and fluorescent
  bulbs. If the frequency of the flicker is below a certain
  threshold, the flicker can be detected by the eye.
  Different people have slightly different flicker
  "threshold" frequencies (known as the "critical flicker
  frequency," or CFF). Knowing the critical threshold
  frequency below which flicker is detected can be
  important for product manufacturing as well as tests for
  ocular disease. Do people with different eye color have
  different threshold flicker sensitivity? A 1973 study
  ("The effect of iris color on critical flicker
  frequency," Journal of General Psychology [1973], 91-95)
  obtained the following data from a random sample of
  subjects.

        a community of educators working to tie together aspects of
        quantitative work that students in science, technology,
        engineering and mathematics will need in their professional
        lives, but which are usually taught in isolation, if at all.
