Vibrato is a musical effect consisting of periodic changes in the amplitude and frequency of harmonics and commonly used to enhance sound. On the violin, vibrato can be of very different character depending on the desired effect. The purpose of this project was thus to investigate how vibrato and especially its rate and extent affect the amplitude and frequency of...

Strategies of the board game African Star
We studied the strategies of popular nordic board game African star with computer simulation. We digitized the game using Python coding language and built strategies that navigate the game board using graph theory path algorithms. We divided testing of the strategies into phases. We found out that Cairo is a bit better starting position than Tangier but one shouldn't rush...

A Comparison of Direct Reversal and Nucleotide Excision Repair in UVB-Treated Bacteria
DNA of living organisms are a sensitive target for the Ultraviolet radiation, and especially UVC and UVB brings significant damage to the DNA. Fortunately, living organisms have repairing mechanisms to maintain genetic diversity and be able to reproduce. This experiment compares the effectiveness of two of these repairing mechanisms of DNA, Direct Reversal repair and Nucleotide Excision repair. The findings...

Sampling from a discrete probability distribution using a discrete uniform probability distribution
Define the simulation of a fair m-sided die with a fair n-sided die as a process of obtaining a random integer from interval [1,m] using a fair n-sided die. Then one can simulate a 4-sided die with a 6-sided die as follows: Roll the 6-sided die. If the outcome is between 1 and 4 inclusive, select it as the result...
