Ali, Irfan (author)Offshore wind farms are being developed at locations with moderate ice conditions such as the Baltic Sea, where drifting sea ice upon interacting with offshore structures could lead to the development of a phenomenon known as Ice-induced vibrations (IIV). These vibrations are especially severe when the turbine is idling. Current mitigation...master thesis 2019

Gideonse, Pieter (author)Currently a new small and automated dairy factory for the onsite production of cheese at farms is under devel-opment. This new factory aims at the production of cheese without any human interaction, based on the (raw) milk from cows who are milked with a milking robot. At the moment only a small test factory exists, in which human interaction is...master thesis 2019

Todorović, Tea (author)New, innovative technologies are important. More and more companies are using digital technologies to their benefit. The act of leveraging such digital technologies to enable organisational improvements in a strategic way is called a digital transformation. In such transformations, the customer experience, operational processes and business...master thesis 2019

Shor, Dan (author)Arthur C. Clarke said: “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic,” and cutting edge Virtual Reality (VR) certainly is quite the illusion. VR opens to us a near infinite set of worlds and possibilities. Comprehensive, Immersive, Virtual Environments (IVEs) will change the way we shop, explore, love and live. They’ll...master thesis 2019

Su, Guigeng (author)With an LFMCW automotive radar operating at its center frequency of 77GHz, the sequential estimation of frequency and amplitude for vital signs, namely, respiration and heartbeat, are considered. The radar response of vital signs is described and analyzed. With extraction of the phase history, extended Kalman filter and particle filter are...master thesis 2019

van der Mark, Kevin (author)OFDM is a common modulation technique applied in the video downlink of drones. In order to eavesdrop on this link, the OFDM signal needs to be demodulated. OFDM demodulators separate orthogonal subcarriers to obtain single carrier signals. This process requires a lot of prior information on the signal parameters. <br/><br/>This thesis presents...master thesis 2019

Epe, Gerco (author)Temperature excursions show that goods that are transported from an aircraft to the warehouse are exposed to ambient temperature for too long, affecting the temperature of the cargo. KLM Cargo has a cool chain project that tends to gain more insight in the operational performance. With the exposure as KPI, defined as Degree-Hours, all subsequent...master thesis 2019

Martinez Lopez, Arturo (author)As solar energy finds its way into unexpected applications such as buildings or objects, the traditional rectangle-shaped module becomes inadequate. Although traditional modules have been optimized to deliver a large amount of power, they cannot be fitted easily into a façade or a wearable. This is why, new methods for integrating solar power...master thesis 2019

van den Bergh, Arjan (author)Grabs are often used for unloading bulk carriers that transport iron ore cargoes around the globe. The unloading process is time-consuming, and terminals strive to maximise their turnover capacity. Grab performance is a combination of maximum crane capacity, grab design and bulk material behaviour. Due to bulk uncertainties occurred by varying...master thesis 2019

Li, Jiahui (author)A cross-domain visual place recognition (VPR) task is proposed in this work, i.e., matching images of the same architectures depicted in different domains. VPR is commonly treated as an image retrieval task, where a query image from an unknown location is matched with relevant instances from geo-tagged gallery database. Different from...master thesis 2019

de Visser, Rolan (author)After the construction of the Grevelingendam (1965) and Brouwersdam (1971), the tidal movement in Lake Grevelingen disappeared. This caused a deterioration of ecological parameters influencing the surrounding flora and fauna and consequently a decline of the water quality set in. Amongst others, Rijkswaterstaat and the provinces of Zeeland and...master thesis 2019

Venkateswaran, Srivats (author)With the increase in the number of utility-scale PV power plants being integrated into the grid, there has been a rise in interest in the testing and validation of components involved in these power plants. Due to the inflexibility of the current field testing methods, there is an increased push towards validation of the involved components...master thesis 2019

Hanif Dinul Islam, Hanif (author)More than 30% of the world’s hydrocarbon reserves are located in carbonate reservoirs, and this percentage is likely to increase, as a result of discoveries of new giant oil fields in carbonate rocks, generically named “Pre-salt layers”. However, there are still some problems in understanding karst systems that still unresolved. The karst caves...master thesis 2019

van Zon, Manon (author)MRI images are very useful for detecting diseases, as well as for the treatment of diseases. However, MRI scanners are usually too expensive for developing countries to purchase and maintain. Therefore, a less expensive scanner is being developed at Delft University of Technology and Leiden University Medical Center. Unfortunately, the images...bachelor thesis 2019

Száva, Antal (author)A network of devices capable of transmitting quantum information called a quantum network has promising applications with vast benefits. One of the most near term achievable application is the quantum key distribution. It could be used for sharing a secret key between two end-users through any insecure authenticated communication channel. Other...master thesis 2019

Langor, Erin (author)As the penetration of offshore wind farms continues to increase in Western Europe, the North Sea in particular is becoming more densely populated by offshore wind farms. Wind turbine wakes have been a topic of great research in the field of wind energy for some time, however the industry now seeks an understanding of the in- fluence of the wake...master thesis 2019

Šabanović, Armin (author)This thesis introduces the concept of phase rotation cancellation (PRC) as a previously unknown error mechanism in narrow-band FSK systems, and proposes a new FSK demodulation algorithm to resolve PRC errors. Phase rotation cancellation is defined as an event where the signal phasor rotation in the IQ plane is temporarily cancelled by the...master thesis 2019

Nikolić, Momir (author)The computational optimisation process have been used in the structural design for long time now. Even though it occasionally appears in architectural practice, it has not yet been completely developed and its full potential has not yet been recognised.<br/><br/>In order to further explore the potential of computational optimisation in...master thesis 2019
