Exploring QA methods for realtime MRI guided radiotherapy

Purpose:The MR-linac is a novel hybrid system that is used in radiotherapy (RT) and combines irradiation with MR imaging. Novel adaptive image-guided radiotherapy techniques are developed for this machine. However, new qualityassurance (QA) techniques are required that check if the (adapted) planned radiation dose is the same as the dose given...

Cohousing for elderly: A study into the organization of cohousing for elderly

Due to an aging population and the consequently rise in publicly funded cost for long-term care a major change was made in the financing structure of the health care system in The Netherlands. Since this change in 2015 care providers have closed care homes. In Delft the main institutional care provider now has partly vacant real estate. This...

Hydrodynamic behaviour of floating wind turbines - Difference between linear and non-linear wave effects on wave induced fatigue loads in a spar-type floating wind turbine

Study to influence of non-linear wave effects on fatigue loads in a spar-type floating wind turbine (Hywind). Two studies are executed. One, a statistical analysis on suitable simulation duration and number of seeds required for accurate results. Two, a analysis of differences in fatigue loads due to linear versus non-linear waves.

Immersed Tunnels in Subarctic Conditions

The thesis aims to find the changes in design and execution to immersed tunnels in subarctic regions. The Orlovsky Tunnel in St. Petersburg serves as a case study. The Orlovsky tunnel is a 1600 m tunnel in a rapid flowing river. the ice regime of the Neva River is characterized by frazil ice, which causes hanging ice jams and anchor ice....

Process-based modelling of the Maumusson inlet: Interaction between inlet, ebb-delta and adjacent shoreline

In 2010, a realignment of the main channel of the Maumusson inlet, France, is observed. This breach of the ebb-delta is observed not long after a severe storm that afflicted the Charente-Maritime region in February 2010; Xynthia. A strong link between the breach and the Xynthia storm is expected: a storm event driven breach. In order to assess...
