Predicting the air quality by combining model simulations with machine learning

Combating air pollution has proven to be a difficult task for countries with rapidly developing economies. Poor air quality can be hazardous to people doing any outdoor activities. So being able to make accurate, short term air quality predictions can be very useful. However, making these predictions has proven to be quite difficult, since there...

DISTRIK MELINGKAR: Circular housing in Indonesia

Indonesia is currently facing a housing deficit of 15 million units. In order to try and resolve this problem, 800.000 units of formal housing are being build every year and the most popular typology in this fast growing housing market is the Indonesian housing cluster. The goal within this project is to do a redesign of the housing cluster...

Experimental Performance Analysis of Graph Analytics Frameworks

Big data, the large-scale collection and analysis of data, has become ubiquitous in the modern, digital society. Within the big data landscape, graphs are widely used to study collections of entities and the complex relationships that connect them. The analysis of graphs has applications in social networks, logistics, finance, bioinformatics,...

Polymer diffusion in a gel network

In this thesis, we model the diusion of a tracer polymer inside of a gel network and simulate it, hoping to nd a connection between the diusion of the polymer and the strength of the gel network. This model is made by using the Rouse model for the gel network and the tracer polymer.<br/>The overdamped Langevin equation is then used to nd a set...

LDBC Graphalytics: A Benchmark for Large-Scale Graph Analysis on Parallel and Distributed Platforms

In this paper we introduce LDBC Graphalytics, a new industrial-grade benchmark for graph analysis platforms. It consists of six deterministic algorithms, standard datasets, synthetic dataset generators, and reference output, that enable the objective comparison of graph analysis platforms. Its test harness produces deep metrics that quantify...

Design of a biopsy supporting container for a new snap freezing procedure

This report gives an overview of the followed process, findings and results of the graduation project: Design of biopsy supporting container for a new snap freezing procedure. The project is a collaboration between the IDE faculty of TU Delft and the company PamGene. Carried out by an IPD master student with a Medisign specialization. Literature...

Nebu: A topology-aware deployment system for reliable virtualized multi-cluster environments

Petabytes of data are processed daily by distributed applications built upon Hadoop and MongoDB. A significant fraction of these applications use cloud infrastructure to cope with this vast amount of data. Commercial clouds use virtualized environments, but most distributed applications are designed around the idea that they run on physical...

V for Vicissitude: The Cahllenge of scaling Complex Big Data Workflows

De kantoorgebruiker en zijn pand: Een onderzoek naar de huisvestingsvoorkeuren van gebruikersgroepen

Gedurende een lange periode kon de kantorenmarkt als een aanbodgestuurde markt worden beschouwd. Het aanbod was kleiner dan de vraag en nieuwe kantoren werden, ongeacht locatie en kwaliteit, vrijwel zonder problemen gevuld. Daar is inmiddels verandering in gekomen. De leegstand in de kantorenmarkt is groot en er is sprake van een vragersmarkt,...

Assisted overtaking: An assessment of overtaking on two-lane rural roads

At the start of the 21st century overtaking on two-lane rural roads is a major traffic safety problem. However, this dissertation research demonstrates that most drivers are perfectly able to safely perform these manoeuvres. Their time spent in the left lane is about eight seconds. Preparing subtasks of the manoeuvre, such as checking...

Opportunities of advanced driver assistance systems towards overtaking

Speech coding suitable for statistical multiplexing of speech and data over a single channel

Multiplexing of speech and data over a single channel is studied. After an overview of existing proposals, an introduction to properties of speech signals is given. Next, a system proposal is done, using a variable rate speech coder. Attention has mainly been focussed on the development of this coder. Its performance was evaluated by means of...
