Rendering Hypercomplex Fractals by Anthony Atella An Honors Project Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for Honors in The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science The School of Arts and Sciences Rhode Island College 2018 Abstract Fractal mathematics and geometry are useful for applications in science, engineering, and art, but acquiring the tools to explore and graph fractals can be frustrating. Tools available online have limited fractals, rendering methods, and shaders. They often fail to abstract these concepts in a reusable way. This means that multiple programs and interfaces must be learned and used to fully explore the topic. Chaos is an abstract fractal geometry rendering program created to solve this problem. This application builds off previous work done by myself and others [1] to create an extensible, abstract solution to rendering fractals. This paper covers what fractals are, how they are rendered and colored, implementation, issues that were encountered, and finally planned future improvements.

  • Generating Fractals Using Complex Functions
    Generating Fractals Using Complex Functions Avery Wengler and Eric Wasser What is a Fractal? ● Fractals are infinitely complex patterns that are self-similar across different scales. ● Created by repeating simple processes over and over in a feedback loop. ● Often represented on the complex plane as 2-dimensional images Where do we find fractals? Fractals in Nature Lungs Neurons from the Oak Tree human cortex Regardless of scale, these patterns are all formed by repeating a simple branching process. Geometric Fractals “A rough or fragmented geometric shape that can be split into parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole.” Mandelbrot (1983) The Sierpinski Triangle Algebraic Fractals ● Fractals created by repeatedly calculating a simple equation over and over. ● Were discovered later because computers were needed to explore them ● Examples: ○ Mandelbrot Set ○ Julia Set ○ Burning Ship Fractal Mandelbrot Set ● Benoit Mandelbrot discovered this set in 1980, shortly after the invention of the personal computer 2 ● zn+1=zn + c ● That is, a complex number c is part of the Mandelbrot set if, when starting with z0 = 0 and applying the iteration repeatedly, the absolute value of zn remains bounded however large n gets. Animation based on a static number of iterations per pixel. The Mandelbrot set is the complex numbers c for which the sequence ( c, c² + c, (c²+c)² + c, ((c²+c)²+c)² + c, (((c²+c)²+c)²+c)² + c, ...) does not approach infinity.

  • Laser Trabeculoplasty for Open-Angle Glaucoma a Report by the American Academy of Ophthalmology
    Laser Trabeculoplasty for Open-Angle Glaucoma A Report by the American Academy of Ophthalmology John R. Samples, MD,1 Kuldev Singh, MD, MPH,2 Shan C. Lin, MD,3 Brian A. Francis, MD,4 Elizabeth Hodapp, MD,5 Henry D. Jampel, MD, MHS,6 Scott D. Smith, MD, MPH7 Objective: To provide an evidence-based summary of the outcomes, repeatability, and safety of laser trabeculoplasty for open-angle glaucoma. Methods: A search of the peer-reviewed literature in the PubMed and the Cochrane Library databases was conducted in June 2008 and was last repeated in March 2010 with no date or language restrictions. The search yielded 637 unique citations, of which 145 were considered to be of possible clinical relevance for further review and were included in the evidence analysis. Results: Level I evidence indicates an acceptable long-term efficacy of initial argon laser trabeculoplasty for open-angle glaucoma compared with initial medical treatment. Among the remaining studies, level II evidence supports the efficacy of selective laser trabeculoplasty for lowering intraocular pressure for patients with open-angle glaucoma. Level III evidence supports the efficacy of repeat use of laser trabeculoplasty. Conclusions: Laser trabeculoplasty is successful in lowering intraocular pressure for patients with open- angle glaucoma. At this time, there is no literature establishing the superiority of any particular form of laser trabeculoplasty. The theories of action of laser trabeculoplasty are not elucidated fully. Further research into the differences among the lasers used in trabeculoplasty, the repeatability of the procedure, and techniques of treatment is necessary.

Epicanthoplasty, a surgical procedure which enlarges Fax: +82-2-545-8743 the eye horizontally, is performed at the inner corner of the eye, whereas lateral canthoplasty E-mail: [email protected] enlarges the outer edge of the eye. In particular, if the slant of the palpebral fissure is raised and the horizontal dimension of the palpebral fissure is short, adjusting the slant of the pal- pebral fissure through lateral canthoplasty can achieve an enlargement of eye width and smoother features. Depending on the patient’s condition, even better results can be achieved if this procedure is performed in conjunction with other procedures, such as double eyelid- plasty, epicanthoplasty, eye roll formation surgery, fat graft, and facial bone contouring sur- gery. In this paper, the authors will introduce in detail their surgical method for a cosmetic lateral canthoplasty that lengthens the lateral canthal angle and corrects the outer tail of the eyes, in order to ease the unfavorable impression.

Please improve this article by introducing more precise citations. (May 2011) Cataract surgery Intervention Cataract in Human Eye- Magnified view seen on examination with a slit lamp ICD-9-CM 13.19 MeSH D002387 Cataract surgery is the removal of the natural lens of the eye (also called "crystalline lens") that has developed an opacification, which is referred to as a cataract. Metabolic changes of the crystalline lens fibers over time lead to the development of the cataract and loss of transparency, causing impairment or loss of vision. Many patients' first symptoms are strong glare from lights and small light sources at night, along with reduced acuity at low light levels. During cataract surgery, a patient's cloudy natural lens is removed and replaced with a synthetic lens to restore the lens's transparency.[1] Following surgical removal of the natural lens, an artificial intraocular lens implant is inserted (eye surgeons say that the lens is "implanted"). Cataract surgery is generally performed by an ophthalmologist (eye surgeon) in an ambulatory (rather than inpatient) setting, in a surgical center or hospital, using local anesthesia (either topical, peribulbar, or retrobulbar), usually causing little or no discomfort to the patient. Well over 90% of operations are successful in restoring useful vision, with a low complication rate.[2] Day care, high volume, minimally invasive, small incision phacoemulsification with quick post-op recovery has become the standard of care in cataract surgery all over the world.
