Function call counting in Matlab

By Bojan | Published: March 23, 2006
Here’s a neat way to keep track of the cost, i.e. number of function calls in Matlab: rather than using a counter variable and increment it each time a function is called, use the internal Matlab counters, accessible through the FunctionTable struct array. The loop below is necessary only to get the index of the [...]

Between bouncing and splashing: water drops on a solid surface

By Bojan | Published: December 15, 2005
This is my first semester term paper (co-authored with Katie Varland): bounce.pdf. It’s about water drops bouncing off hydrophobic surfaces. Yes, the premise sounds cool, and the shots we made with a high-speed camera are fascinating. The paper itself is descriptive rather than analytical, but an interesting boundary has been observed between a “splashing region” [...]

Images in LaTeX

By Bojan | Published: December 8, 2005
Problem: you can’t get those images to appear in a typeset document. Cause: [code]]czo4OlwicGRmbGF0ZXhcIjt7WyYqJl19[[/code] and [code]]czo1OlwibGF0ZXhcIjt7WyYqJl19[[/code] have virtually no graphic drivers in common. For instance, [code]]czo4OlwicGRmbGF0ZXhcIjt7WyYqJl19[[/code] can't handle eps files. Solution: I converted my eps files to pdf using a thing called [code]]czo4OlwiZXBzdG9wZGZcIjt7WyYqJl19[[/code], which is included in latex distributions, and [code]]czo4OlwicGRmbGF0ZXhcIjt7WyYqJl19[[/code] handled those pdf graphs perfectly, so that the output [...]

Kvantni Hallov efekt

By Bojan | Published: June 2, 2004
Završio sam seminarski rad o kvantnom Hallovom efektu. Prilično sam zadovoljan kako je ispao, iako sam prvobitno namjeravao da dio o Laughlinovom teorijskom objašnjenju bude centralni dio rada. Međutim, pošto sam želio da rad bude razumljiv što većem krugu, previše vremena i prostora je oduzeo uvodni dio, tako da je Laughlinov rad o IQHE tek [...]
