Abstract:

A study of the binocular accommodation response is presented for normal and amblyopic observers to selected stimulus conditions using a binocular infra-red optometer and a commercially-available autorefractor. The work reviews the neural control of the near triad and discusses the historical development of models of mutual interaction between accommodation and convergence, presenting experimental evidence to support or refute each proposition. The basic characteristics of the accommodation response are reviewed along with the influencing factors. A central feature of this work is the evaluatio

Abstract:

The relationship between accommodation and intraocular pressure (IOP) has not been addressed as a research question for over 20 years, when measurement of both of these parameters was less advanced than today. Hence the central aim of this thesis was to evaluate the effects of accommodation on lOP. The instrument of choice throughout this thesis was the Pulsair EasyEye non-contact tonometer (NCT) due principally to its slim-line design which allowed the measurement of lOP in one eye and simultaneous stimulation of accommodation in the other eye. A second reason for using the Pulsair EasyEye NC

Abstract:

The goal of this project is to obtain quantitative images of the lens and the ciliary body to validate EVAS-II (Second generation Ex Vivo Accommodation Simulator). To accomplish this goal it was necessary to develop methods, instrumentation and image processing techniques to acquire 3D images in EVAS-II, using UBM (Ultrasound Bio Microscope), and to apply these techniques to non-human primate eyes. The lens studies included measurement of speed of sound in the lens to reconstruct accurate images of the lens, development of instrumentation to measure the un-distorted lens shape and development

Abstract:

Accommodation is the change in the dioptric power of the eye altering the focus from distance to near. Presbyopia is the loss of accommodative function that occurs with age. There are many techniques used to measure accommodation, however, there is little consensus as to how clinical data should be collected and analysed. The overarching theme of this thesis is the in vivo examination of accommodation and how lifestyle can affect the onset of presbyopia. An open-field autorefractor with badal adaption was used to examine accommodative dynamic profiles under varying demands of vergence. From th

In addition, one research question concerns people's suggestions as to why they adjust their speech and if differences between native and foreign languages can be found. The investigation was carried out as an informant survey and a total of 26 participants, between the ages 20 and 30, answered the questions.

Over the past decade, the demand for student housing in the Hatfield Student Village, situated between the Hatfield and Hillcrest campuses of the University of Pretoria, has grown to a point, where the demand greatly overshadows the supply. Local developers, who recognised the need for housing among students, have made great progress in filling this gap. It has come to a point, where the University of Pretoria has the second largest supply of student housing in South Africa, after the University of Cape Town.

Abstract:

Background: Mechanical forces either due to accommodation or myopia may stretch the retina and/or cause shear between the retina and choroid. This can be investigated by making use of the Stiles-Crawford effect (SCE), which is the phenomenon of light changing in apparent brightness as it enters through different positions in the pupil. The SCE can be measured by psychophysical and objective techniques, with the SCE parameters being directionality (rate of change across the pupil), and orientation (the location of peak sensitivity in the pupil).

The vergence and accommodation systems, which are examples of physiological control systems, enable us to acquire and maintain clear single images of objects at a variety of distances in our visual world.

This thesis reviews the evolution of control theory models of vergence and accommodation from the 1960's to the present day and has outlined several properties of the systems which require further study.

Abstract:

Infant word recognition is sometimes hindered by variability in the speech input. Previous research has shown that, at 9 months, monolinguals do not generalize wordforms across native- and accented-speakers (Schmale & Seidl, 2009). In the current study however, it was predicted that bilingual infants would be advantaged in accommodating for accented speech due to experience with phonetic variability across their two phonological systems. It was also predicted that this hypothesized ability would be restricted to accommodating for an accent derived from a familiar language (e.g., French-English

Abstract:

Buildings rarely fail within a short time of commissioning; most become unsatisfactory gradually, over a period of many years, as the design becomes obsolete and/or inadequate maintenance and improvements fail to keep pace with demand. Maintenance work is thus necessary to keep a building in an acceptable minimum condition. The industrialised building methods much used in the 1960s were frequently innovative and, at that time, unproven methods of construction. When these are added to the list of 'traditional build' failure contributors, the need for additional and regular maintenance is increa

Abstract:

The effect of near work on the biometric properties of the eye, including the eye’s length and the thickness of the posterior vascular layer were investigated. Short-sighted eyes had greater increases in length and greater thinning of the vascular layer when focused on close objects than did normally-sighted eyes. These changes occurred across the horizontal meridian of the eye and were greatest at the posterior pole. These ocular effects of focusing may partly explain the influence of close work on development of short-sightedness.

Abstract:

Family accommodation is a salient construct within the context of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and occurs in a large majority of affected individuals and their families. Accommodating behaviors can manifest in various ways, including participation in the patient's rituals, modifying everyday routines, facilitating compulsive behaviors, or providing reassurance. It has been repeatedly linked to negative outcomes, such as attenuated treatment response, increased obsessive-compulsive symptom severity, higher levels of family distress, and lower levels of functioning. As such, it is of sign
