Methodology: This thesis adopted a deductive research approach which follows a quantitative research method. The data was coll
We live in a time that some choose to call the psychedelic renaissance. Once again, after a period of silence in the scientific world, studies about psychedelics and their effects continues to bring knowledge to the subject. In this renaissance of psychedelics there’s still somewhat a gap in research regarding the recreational use of the substances. The aim of this study has been to seek a better

This paper addresses the following hypothetical situation: suppose that we want to train an object detection algorithm but that only low resolution data is available. As a tentative solution to this problem, this paper suggest to first super-resolve the low resolution data to obtain higher resolution data that is then fed to the object detection algorithm. Super-resolution is a technique that take
STEM-EDS is a common technique used for compositional mapping in materials. The vasts amounts of raw data produced by STEM EDS is suitable for advanced analysis using methods in unsupervised machine learning. One powerful method is Principal Component Analysis (PCA) which can automatically discover significant chemical correlations in a sample. Although more powerful than classical analysis, there
