Sinking Yangon: Detection of subsidence caused by groundwater extraction using SAR interferometry and PSI time-series analysis for Sentinel-1 data

Inhabitants and ecosystems in delta areas are becoming increasingly vulnerable to the effects of subsidence, triggered both by natural causes and anthropogenic causes. Yangon is a city in the Irrawaddy delta in Myanmar where little is known about the true extent of this hazard, while its effects can potentially harm millions of its inhabitants....

Exploring Gamification in Extreme Sports

This master thesis sets out to develop a product / service designed for the most valuable metric (across multiple action sports) and to present a gamified experience of this metric to the user. The thesis presents a roadmap stating what (action) sports should be targeted: kiteboarding, wakeboarding, snowboarding, surfing, and skateboarding. The...

The City as Canvas, Architecture as Painting: An intuitive approach to 3D printing

Developments in the field of 3D printing and robotics are promising, however the technology still has a long way to go. This does not mean that method, material and machine have to be reinvented entirely. By looking at existing techniques and combining them with new methods, it is possible to expand our understanding of these new technologies....

A Study on the network performance of the road traffic system on airside at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol

Schiphol is growing. The growing number of aircrafts will lead to more handling services, like baggage handling, catering etc. These handling vehicles use the network system on airside. At the moment, no facts were presented about the performance of these network. Are there too many vehicles on airside? Or not? That is the focus of this research...

Experimental dynamic substructuring using direct time-domain deconvolved impulse response functions

The dynamics of systems can be analysed by combining the dynamics of its components. This method is generally know as dynamic substructuring. It allows for efficient computation of the dynamics of structures that would otherwise be to complex to determine. Most dynamic substructuring approaches use the frequency domain for the re-assembling of...

Urban waste processing plant Cairo

Visiting places one has never seen before, which in my case Cairo at that time, renders the experience of it into a limited number of isolated moments that are pushed into a sequence of narration. A city experience is reduced to a number of words, images or stills that together create a mental context that collapses reality into a collage of...

From business transactions to business process work flows: Using DEMO and BPMN

For many years Capgemini has been using the Integrated Architecture Framework (IAF) as guide for the formation of an enterprise architecture. The Integrated Architecture Framework (IAF) constitutes four abstraction levels: the contextual, the conceptual, the logical and the physical abstraction level. When forming an enterprise architecture, one...

Probabilistische beschouwing van het afmeerproces

Door het maken van een probabilistische beschouwing van een zelf ontworpen fenderconstructie kan inzicht worden verkregen in deze gevoeligheid en de faalkans van het systeem. Deze analyse is driemaal uitgevoerd met een meebewegende watermassa volgens respectievelijk de uitdrukkingen van Vasto Costa en Giraudet en de Lange Golf theorie. Voor de...

Ontwerp toegangsgeul naar de havens van Beira in Mozambique

Beira is een havenstad met ca 130.000 inwoners gelegen in de Volksrepubliek Mozambique, in het zuid-westelijke deel van Afrika. Beira ligt ongeveer halfweg langs de Mozambiquaanse kust aan de monding van het estuarium waar de rivieren de Punque en de Buzi uitmonden, zie figuur 1. Naast de hoofdstad Maputo behoren Eeira en Nacala tot de drie...
