Algorithmische Komposition
(2018)
Algorithmic composition is an interdisciplinary topic that unites music and science. The computer is able to generate algorithmic music with the aid of a specific algorithm. In this bachelor thesis, algorithmic composition is realized with the biology-inspired algorithms called Lindenmayer-system and cellular automaton. In order to realize the compositions, several techniques are presented as well as implemented and evaluated. Those techniques map the generated data from the algorithms on a meaningful musical result.
The present thesis describes the development of an OpenGL-based tool visualizing cavities of proteins, which can be observed during a static docking simulation. The goal is to achieve knowledge about interactions between proteins and ligands based on information about distances between them. At first chemical basics, which motivate the topic and are important for understanding the topic and the used algorithms, are presented. Furthermore existing software, which deals with similar issues, is described. Next the prerequisites for the development of the program are presented and the tool is described in detail. Concluding the tool is evaluated concerning performance and usage and a summarizing conclusion is given. The program turns out as a helpful tool for current research and a good base for further and deeper research projects.
In this bachelor thesis a code for astrophysical self-gravitating fluid
simulation is developed. The code runs mainly on the GPU. Minimal
simplifications of the physical model and some parameters for accuracy
and tuning allow simulations to be performed at interactive framerates
on most modern consumer grade computers that feature a dedicated
graphics card. It is used to simulate the birth of stars from a turbulent
molecular cloud. Multiple features of star formation, like accretion
discs and fragmentation, can be observed in the simulation, even when
low particle counts are used.
In dieser Arbeit werden auf der Basis des aktuellen Forschungsstandes der Politolinguistik die Relevanz und Erklärungsmöglichkeiten politolinguistischer Analysen für das Verständnis der Sprachverwendung und Sprachprägung in der Politik am Beispiel der rechtspopulistischen Rhetorik der Alternative für Deutschland thematisiert. Die Arbeit folgt im Allgemeinen der Fragestellung, inwiefern die Politolinguistik die Sprachverwendung in der Politik und die dort entstehenden, sprachlichen Prägungen lexikalisch analysieren und mithilfe der politolinguistischen Lexikanalyse die durch politische Akteure vermittelten, politischen Intentionen offenlegen kann. Im Besonderen wird sich daran die Frage anschließen, auf welche Weise sich mit den Analysewerkzeugen der politolinguistischen Lexikanalyse das Kurzwahlprogramm der Alternative für Deutschland zur Bundestagswahl 2017 im Hinblick auf ihre rechtspopulistische Rhetorik untersuchen lässt und dortige, lexikalische Prägungsversuche der AfD identifiziert werden können.
Am Schluss der Arbeit steht Erkenntnisfortschritt, der eine deskriptive Erörterung der Relevanz und Möglichkeiten politolinguistischer Lexikanalysen sowie ihrer Werkzeuge für die Untersuchung politischer Sprachverwendung und durch Wortprägungen offenbarter Intentionen beinhaltet, dabei explizit sowohl etablierte als auch neuere Erkenntnisse des Forschungsfeldes miteinbezieht und diese im Hinblick auf die Anwendbarkeit zur Erforschung rechtspopulistischer Rhetorik reflektiert.
Companies try to utilise Knowledge Management (KM) to gain more efficiency and effectiveness in business. The major problem is that most of these KM projects are not or rarely based on sustainable analyses or established theories about KM. Often there is a big gap between the expectations and the real outcome of such KM initiatives. So the research question to be answered is: What challenges arise in KM projects, which KM requirements can be derived from them and which recommendations support the goal of meeting the requirements for KM? As theoretical foundation a set of KM frameworks is examined. Subsequently KM challenges from literature are analysed and best practices from case studies are used to provide recommendations for action on this challenges. The main outcome of this thesis is a best practice guideline,which allows Chief Knowledge Officers (CKOs) and KM project managers to examine the challenges mentioned in this thesis closely, and to find a suitable method to master these challenge in an optimal way. This guideline shows that KM can be positively and negatively influenced in a variety of ways. Mastering Knowledge Management (KM) in a company is a big and far-reaching venture and that technology respectively Information Technology (IT) is only a part of the big picture.
Helicopters are crucial in today’s life. A vast amount of applications prove
their range, which are not coverable by other types of aircraft. But they are
very complex systems, both, technically and physically. This is one of the
reasons why pilot training for helicopters is quite challenging. In the last
two decades flight simulators became a supplementary instrument in the
educational process of pilots. With flight simulators it is possible to replay
uncommon or dangerous situations. In this thesis a simple flight simulator
for helicopters will be developed based on rigid body physics. The foundation is a simplified rotor model which omits complex fluid dynamics. This
helps to keep the implementation simple and illustrative as well as provide simulation rates at real-time. The modules are implemented within
the Unreal Engine in such way, that changing helicopter characteristics is
very easy.
VR Fresken
(2018)
Das Projekt VR Fresken setzte sich zum Ziel, mit Hilfe von virtueller Realität im Rahmen einer Museumsausstellung historisch rekonstruierte Räume und deren Deckenfresken interaktiv erlebbar zu machen. In dieser Arbeit werden die eingesetzten Techniken und Technologien beleuchtet, der Anwendungsfall der VR für den Einsatz im Museum untersucht, sowie eine Evaluation der Software im Alltagsbetrieb im Museum durchgeführt.
During the last couple of years the extension of the internet into the real world, also referred to as the Internet of Things (IoT), was positively affected by an ongoing digitalization (Mattern and Floerkemeier, 2010; Evans, 2013). Furthermore, one of the most active IoT domains is the personal health ecosystem (Steele and Clarke, 2013). However, this thesis proposes a gamification framework which is supported and enabled by IoT to bring personal health and IoT together in the context of health-insurances. By examining gamification approaches and identifying the role of IoT in such, a conceptual model of a gamification approach was created which indicates where and how IoT is ap-plicable to it. Hence, IoT acts as enabler and furthermore as enhancer of gamified activities. Especial-ly the necessity of wearable devices was highlighted. A stakeholder analysis shed light on respective benefits which concluded in the outcome, that IoT enabled two paradigm shifts for both, the insur-ance and their customer. While taking the results of the examination and the stakeholder analysis as input, the previously made insights were used to develop an IoT supported gamification framework. The framework includes a multi-level structure which is meant to guide through the process of creat-ing an approach but also to analyze already existing approaches. Additionally, the developed frame-work was instantiated based on the application Pokémon Go to identify occurring issues and explain why it failed to retain their customer in the long term. The thesis provides a foundation on which fur-ther context related research can be orientated.
In der Computergrafik stellte das echtzeitfähige
Rendern von Haaren und Fell ein Problem dar. Die
Berechnung der Beleuchtung, Schattierung und
Transparenz erfordert einen hohen Rechenaufwand,
welcher sich negativ auf die Performanz auswirkt.
Doch durch verbesserte Hardware und neue Verfahren
ist es möglich, solch komplexe Effekte in Echtzeit
zu simulieren. In folgender Arbeit werden die
Grundlagen des Renderings von Haaren erläutert.
Außerdem wurde im Rahmen der Arbeit eine
echtzeitfähige Demo implementiert, deren zugrunde
liegende Verfahren und Funktionalitäten beschrieben
werden. Um die Demo zu evaluieren wurde die mögliche
Anzahl an Bildern pro Sekunde bei Modellen
unterschiedlicher Komplexität gemessen. Schließlich
wurden die Ergebnisse mit Bildern von echten Haaren
verglichen.
