Implementation and Evaluation of an Order Parameter for the Reaction-Diffusion Model in a Cellular Automaton: How does an order parameter perform on a Reaction-Diffusion model implemented in a Cellular Automata?

This paper describes the process and evaluation methods by which we adapted a Reaction-Diffusion model and an order parameter to monitor its segregation state in a 2D Cellular Automaton model. The model simulates Turing pattern formations, whose behavior will be studied by an order parameter formulated for this project. This order parameter acts...

Understanding the geopolitical implications of a transition to green hydrogen as the dominant energy carrier

The effects of climate change on the global community are becoming more strongly felt every year, creating devastation on our everyday lives. To combat that, a transition to low-carbon energy carriers is being envisioned by state and private actors through pledges during climate conferences and several candidate carriers are proposed. Among...

Graphic Design with Machine Learning: Fabric PatternGeneration using a Variational Autoencoder

The goal of this research is to find out whether it is possible to use a specific type of machine learning algorithm to create new data that resembles data in a given dataset. The algorithm that is used is a variational autoencoder (VAE), this is a machine learning algorithm based around data compression and decompression. The dataset is a set...

Wetsuit Design: With a Focus on Methodology

On 15th of October 2018 the kick-off of the project took place. The assignment was to design a science based methodology for the creation of SRFACE wetsuits. The current design process is still almost entirely based on trial and error. A product designer draws seam lines on a 2D body outline, based on his knowledge about fit, insulation and...
