Design of Phosphate-based Dynamic Covalent Network for Fused Deposition Modeling

Additive manufacturing (AM) is considered an environmentally friendly manufacturing process that builds solid 3D structures layer-by-layer from a computer-aided design (CAD), resulting in reduced waste as opposed to conventional subtractive manufacturing. However, a significant challenge in AM is the extensive use of...

Smart Tools in the Outpatient Department: Explore to what extent smart tools and layout can contribute to an effective and efficient use of space in the outpatient department of a Dutch hospital

The transformations the healthcare sector is undergoing can be divided into three types of changes; gradual change, sudden change and expected change. The ageing population represents the gradual change. The ageing population brings an increased demand for care, while also an increasing need for cost control and a decrease in available capacity...

Social inclusive Hembrug: Creating a community center for elderly with a physical care demand

On the Hembrug terrain one can find a variety of buildings and combination of buildings (ensembles). The Changing zone ensemble is located on the Hembrug terrain in Zaandam. The Hembrug terrain was the heart of the military industry in the Netherlands around the twentieth century. It is a very divers ensemble, with different buildings of...

Quantum gradient estimation and its application to quantum reinforcement learning

In 2005, Jordan showed how to estimate the gradient of a real-valued function with a high-dimensional domain on a quantum computer. Subsequently, in 2017, it was shown by Gilyén et al. how to do this with a different input model. They also proved optimality of their algorithm for \ell^\infty -approximations of functions satisfying some...

Robustness quantification for navigation locks that are part of the primary flood defense: A study into the effect of increasing the reliability requirement of structural elements on the robustness of the structural system

Robustness is a hard-to-grip concept within engineering. This master thesis uses a framework to quantify the level of robustness that has been proposed by the Joint Committee on Structural Safety to assess the influence of the reliability requirement of a structural element. The lock complex at Weurt (the Netherlands) has been used for a case...

green BLUE capital: Enhancing the quality of life by implementing climate adaptable solutions in the densely populated existing city of Nijmegen

This graduation project is called ''green BlUE capital: Enhancing the quality of life by implementing climate adaptable solutions in the densely populated existing city of Nijmegen.'' This project describes the transformation of existing cities such as Nijmegen in order to cope with the change in climate, with a main focus on stormwater...

Bahia Blanca Argentinie: De bepaling van de volgorde van de te baggeren geulgedeelten in de Bahia Blanca toegangsgeul en de kosten van het constructie sleephopperzuigen

Door de toegenomen graanexport naar vooral verafgelegen bestemmingen, mede veroorzaakt door het exportembargo in 1980 door de V.S. van graan naar de U.S.S.R., werd het economisch aantrekkelijk om met grotere eenheden het graan te vervoeren. Om deze grotere eenheden te laten vertrekken uit de graanhaven Puerto Ingeniero White in het Bahia Blanca...

Bahia Blanca: Puerto Ingeniero White: Bepaling van het aantal aanlegplaatsen nu (1985-1990) en in de toekomst (1995-2000) in de graanhaven Ingeniero White bij een maximale diepgang van de schepen van 40', 45' en 50' m.b.v. een simulatiemodel

Door de uitbreiding van de graanexport, mede veroorzaakt door het exportembargo door de V.S. in 1980 van graan naar de U.S.S.R., ons tonden er problemen in een van de belangrijkste graanexporthavens van Argentinië t.w. Puerto Ingeniero White in het Bahia Blanca estuarium. De problemen omvatten vooral onvoldoende haven- en kadefaciliteiten en een...
