Effect of Intraocular Pressure on Chick Eye Geometry, Finite Element Modeling, and Myopia
(University of Waterloo, 2010-09-30)In most cases, myopia is characterized by an increase in axial length of the eye, but the exact mechanisms for the axial elongation are still unknown. Higher intraocular pressure (IOP) has been associated with myopia and ... -
Mean Curvature Flow in Euclidean spaces, Lagrangian Mean Curvature Flow, and Conormal Bundles
(University of Waterloo, 2011-08-10)I will present the mean curvature flow in Euclidean spaces and the Lagrangian mean curvature flow. We will first study the mean curvature evolution of submanifolds in Euclidean spaces, with an emphasis on the case of ... -
Surface Geometry and the Haptic Rendering of Rigid Point Contacts
(University of Waterloo, 2013-04-23)This thesis examines the haptic rendering of rigid point contacts in virtual simulations. The haptic renderers generate force feedback so that the operator can interact with the virtual scenes in a realistic way. They ... -
Unfolding and Reconstructing Polyhedra
(University of Waterloo, 2006)This thesis covers work on two topics: unfolding polyhedra into the plane and reconstructing polyhedra from partial information. For each topic, we describe previous work in the area and present an array of new research ...
