This report aims to present a method for generating levels for tower defense games. Tower defense games are digital strategy games played by defending bases against oncoming enemies that travel along pregenerated paths. The intended way of generating levels was to use Wave Function Collapse and Bézier curves to create paths and then generate a terrain mesh to match the paths using Marching Cubes. This approach was abandoned because it was considered unnecessarily complicated and there was a concern that there would not be enough time to complete a level generation system. The abandoned system was replaced by a system where a terrain mesh is generated first and is then used as the base for generating the paths iteratively where the direction of the path is changing based on a number of different rules. The path generation system was completed with a simple algorithm to decide on the number of enemies and defense towers. The result is a simple tower defense game with a complete but unbalanced system for generating levels. Though the system is unbalanced, it is implemented in a way that allows for balancing to be made. While a change in direction from the original idea was considered necessary, it only means that that approach was too time-consuming for this project, not that the techniques used in the original idea are inappropriate for these purposes.

Los carpelos, organizados en un gineceo, presentan el mayor grado de complejidad anatómica y funcional de entre los órganos florales. El fruto deriva fundamentalmente del gineceo y es un órgano altamente especializado cuya función, una vez se produce la polinización y fertilización, es asegurar la maduración y la posterior dispersión de las semillas. A pesar del gran progreso que ha tenido lugar en los últimos años, aún quedan por resolver numerosos interrogantes acerca de la morfogénesis del gineceo y la fructificación. Una manera obvia de contribuir al esclarecimiento de estas cuestiones es desvelar la participación de nuevos moduladores genéticos, cuyas alteraciones provoquen perturbaciones morfológicas visibles en el desarrollo del gineceo. En esta Tesis Doctoral se ha pretendido profundizar en la comprensión de las vías genéticas implicadas en el desarrollo del gineceo, así como de la coordinación de dichas rutas. Para ello se ha realizado un esfuerzo para caracterizar funcionalmente dos miembros de una familia de factores transcripcionales con dominio B3, TOP1 y TOP2, que parecían estar implicados en la diferenciación del gineceo y ser un factor común a varias de las vías ya descritas. Se ha intentado establecer cuáles son las relaciones genéticas y moleculares de estos genes con otros identificados previamente, y que actúan en distintos aspectos del desarrollo del gineceo y el fruto de Arabidopsis. Para ello, se han caracterizado funcionalmente dichos genes mediante la obtención de líneas de pérdida y de ganancia de función de los mismos, y la caracterización fenotípica de dichos mutantes. Así, se ha comprobado que están implicados redundantemente en el desarrollo de las regiones apicales del gineceo, promoviendo la diferenciación de las células del estilo y el estigma. Se ha determinado que el patrón de expresión espacio-temporal de TOP1 y TOP2 coincide con las regiones afectadas en los mutantes de pérdida de función, es decir, el estilo y el estigma.

The pieces discussed throughout this dissertation provide evidence of the evolution of the fanfare and the ability of the fanfare, as a form, to accept modern compositional techniques. While Britten’s Fanfare for St. Edmundsbury maintains the harmonic series, it does so by choice rather than by the necessity in earlier music played by the baroque trumpet. Stravinsky’s Fanfare from Agon applies set theory, modal harmonies, and open chords to blend modern techniques with medieval sounds. Satie’s Sonnerie makes use of counterpoint and a rather unusual, new characteristic for fanfares, soft dynamics. Ginastera’s Fanfare for Four Trumpets in C utilizes atonality and jazz harmonies while Stravinsky’s Fanfare for a New Theatre strictly coheres to twelve-tone serialism. McTee’s Fanfare for Trumpets applies half-step dissonance and ostinato patterns while Tower’s Fanfare for the Uncommon Woman demonstrates a multi-section work with chromaticism and tritones. By applying modern compositional techniques to an older, abstract form, composers have maintained the original aesthetic while allowing for fanfares to be used as concert music. This document adds to the limited body of scholarly writing on modern fanfares.

The thesis deals with the design of the drilling rig tower. The goal of the diploma thesis, which is created in cooperation with MND, a.s., is to design a steel structure. Then perform a load analysis. Further, to perform a structural analysis using the Finite Element Method and to optimize the design.

The purpose of my diploma thesis is geodetic survey and creation of the drawing documentation of the first two above-ground floors of the rear palace, four above-ground floors of the adjacent prismatic tower and the facades of the two assigned objects accessible from the courtyard. The geodetic survey was made in connection with the previous measurements of the neighboring English tract by the combination of the polar and the standard measures. The calculation of the obtained data was done in Groma and the required drawings were made in Microstation. The result of my thesis is the drawing documentation consists of four plans, longitudinal section, cross section and two views.

This master thesis deals with the design of load-bearing capacity of the observation tower in Besky-dy. The material used in main column is steel S355. The main column is a circular hollow construc-tion with diameter of 2,2 m. Inside the column is located a double spiral staircase. The upper part of observation tower simulates shape of treetop by rip column. It is made of glue laminated timber GL24h. The tower has four platforms of hexagon shape. The largest platform is 12,2m wide. The height of struction is 37,5 m. Internal forces have been calculated in software RFEM and based that the structural assessment has been made. The thesis is drawn up pursuant to the standards of ČSN EN.

Thesis describes the design and realization of linearization display unit that will receive pulses from a gear flow meter KRACHT whose frequency corresponds to a flow. The measured value is flow that nonlinearly depends on the temperature and viscosity of the medium. The dependency is described by calibration curves for each flow meter. The task of the diploma thesis is to design, implement, and verify the operation of the display unit, which calculates the actual flow rate from the input data (pulse rate, temperature, viscosity, and flow meter calibration curves). The device will contain a suitable user interface to display all measured values, inputs for connecting measuring sensors, and outputs for transmission of measured data. A part of the device will be a USB interface for configuration and uploading calibration curves from a PC application, which is designed by diploma student.

The subject of the thesis is to study architectural security prison in Brno. Prisons are devices filling the disqualification of persons who have committed anti-social acts of a society that considers freedom and freedom of movement for one of the highest values. The prison is located near the city center. It is divided into three buildings by function. The actual department are located in an unused cold tower.

This master’s thesis focuses on the reconstruction and new making use of Moravský Krumlov Chateau. The chateau’s premises include multi-purpose halls, leisure centres for the city’s inhabitants, a hotel and exhibition showrooms for tourists. The main idea was to design a “Chateau for the City”, that is to reconstruct the isolated chateau so that it meets the practical needs of the inhabitants of Moravský Krumlov. The new constructions of geometric shapes are designed to impress and, at the same time, reflect the needs of the operation of the chateau complex.
