The current thesis explores the impact that the use of visual contracts has from the fairness perspective. The project developed in collaboration with the company Visual Contracts, a start-up specialized in Legal Design Thinking, aims to provide an added value and evidence that supports the relevance of their activity. A design process that...

The built environment contributes with 39% of the CO2 emissions in the world [3]. At the same time it is a sector that is expected to grow from US$10.9 trillion (2017) to US$12.9 trillion (2022) [4]. A sector with such an economic growth but with a negative environmental impact needs to innovate in order to reduce its carbon footprint. These are...

Musculoskeletal models often use Hill-type models to study and simulate muscle behaviour. Due to fast simulation time and ability to simulate large and slow movements Hill-type models have remained largely unchanged throughout recent years. Large and slow movements spend a large part in steady state behaviour and thus experience limited...

People have been using the digital technology domain to seek solutions to combat neglected tropical diseases. Aside from feasibility and effectiveness, WHO has pointed out the importance of having an overview that pinpoints the lacking infrastructure for scaling up and sustaining digital proposals. This research demystifies the untapped digital...

Until recent times, electrical power grids have been dominated by conventional power plants run by fossil or nuclear fuels in order to cater to the electrical load demand. These power plants employ large generators that operate in synchronous with each other to maintain a stable frequency and voltage across the power grid. The frequency and...

Quantum error correction is needed for future quantum computers. Classical error correcting codes are not suitable for this due to the nature of quantum mechanics. Therefore, new codes need to be developed. A promising candidate is the toric code, a surface code, because of its locality and its high error correcting capability and thresholds ...

In order to connect a monopile to a transition piece of an offshore wind turbine efficiently, a new connection method called the Slip Joint is being developed. The Slip Joint is made out of a conical section at the top of the monopile foundation and a conical section at the bottom of the transition piece which are slid over each other to form a...

The Port of Rotterdam has many old harbours located close to the Rotterdam city center that are no longer suitable to be used for industrial purposes. Meanwhile due to expansion and population growth of the city, more recreational spaces are needed. The idea is to use the abundant dredged material from the Port of Rotterdam to fill in and...

The objective of this research is to understand what smart charging can bring business and society at large. In close collaboration with the largest fleet operator in the world and a commercial aggregator, the impact of smart charging on both cost reduction and carbon reduction was simulated for an electric vehicle (EV) fleet in 2018. The...

Link prediction in complex networks has attracted increasing attention. The link prediction algorithms can be used to retrieve missing information, identify spurious interactions, capturing net- work evolution, and so on. Recently, network embedding has been proposed as a new strategy to embed network into low-dimensional vector space. By...

It is known that the global impact of solid waste is becoming more worrying day by day; however, the application of reused materials in the built environment is not yet fully embraced. In particular, plastic composites are now fundamental for the global world economy but the organization of their end life needs to be improved. <br/>Therefore,...

Personality modeling is important in order to create character variation in<br/>games. Character variation favors replayability and is an important aspect<br/>of game design. The eect of articial personalities through the expression of<br/>emotions is evaluated in this research. To do so, a prototype game is developed<br/>in the context of...

Speech recognition systems can be found all around us. From personal assistants in mobile phones and smart speakers to robots, we use speech recognition systems everyday. However, communicating with them can be troublesome in noisy environments because they only use audio signals for speech recognition. This problem can be solved by using visual...

The materials we encounter in our every day lives already extend beyond the traditional materials of wood, metal, ceramics and glass. The characteristics and behavior of materials and material composites are continuously being tweaked. The introduction of new materials that can respond to inputs from the environment has brought about a new...

Monitoring organisations are currently in a transition phase towards risk-based inspections using data models and algorithms in order to increase their efficiency and transparancy. The use of data by monitoring organisations has several benefits, but can at the same time have negative effects in the medium- to long-term. This study explores...

Last-mile delivery for shipments in the B2B (business-to-business) market make use of two types of last-mile delivery mode, van and truck, as the number of shipments per consignee is various in size, weight, and volume. A parcel classification task exists to make an optimum classification of the parcel, toward which last-mile delivery mode. The...

This research project was initiated as a result of a curiosity and desire to investigate the applicability of surrogate modelling to analyse complex non-linear behaviour in aircraft structures. The study chose to focus on modelling damage in composite plates, and through a literature review, deemed that the generation of graphical outputs was a...
