Explanation of Solution

Procedural Modeling:

  • For complex shapes, realistic models cannot be obtained by geometric modeling or manual digitizing.
  • Examples of complex shapes are intricate plant structures such as trees, complex terrain such as mountain ranges, and gaseous substances such as clouds, smoke, or the flames of a fire.
  • For above complex shapes, polygonal meshes can be obtained by writing programs that construct the desired shape automatically. Such programs are collectively known as Procedural Models.
  • A procedural model is a program unit that applies an algorithm to generate a desired structure.

The two types of procedure models are:

  • Particle systems:
    • In this method, the underlying structure of an object is simulated as large collection of particles...

Case Study Instructions: Offshore Wind Energy in the North Sea For this case study, students will analyze the institutional challenges and social rules surrounding offshore wind energy development in the Dutch North Sea, as explored in the case study from the textbook (pages 44-46). Additional resources in this week’s learning module will provide further perspectives on the impact of wind energy on different stakeholders.   Students should refer to the syllabus for specific guidelines regarding length, format, and content requirements.   Reflection Questions to Consider: What are the key institutional challenges in implementing offshore wind energy in the North Sea? How do formal and informal social rules shape the use of this shared space? What conflicts arise between different stakeholders (e.g., fishermen, naval transport, military, and wind energy developers)? How can policymakers balance economic, environmental, and social considerations when allocating space for wind energy?…
Alphabetic Telephone Number TranslatorMany companies use telephone numbers like 555-GET-FOOD so the number is easier for their customers to remember. On a standard telephone, the alphabetic letters are mapped to numbers in the following fashion: A, B, and C = 2 D, E, and F = 3 G, H, and I = 4 J, K, and L = 5 M, N, and O = 6 P, Q, R, and S = 7 T, U, and V = 8 W, X, Y, and Z = 9 Write a program that asks the user to enter a 10-character telephone number in the format XXX-XXX-XXXX. The application should display the telephone number with any alphabetic characters that appeared in the original translated to their numeric equivalent. For example, if the user enters 555-GET-FOOD, the application should display 555-438-3663.
