Goudswaard, Reef (author)This bachelor's thesis explores the realm of map projections, aiming to establish a systematic approach for evaluating and ranking them based on angular and area distortions. Beginning with a definition of map projections, the study progresses to quantify the distortions that occur when projecting a spherical surface onto a flat one. Using these...bachelor thesis 2024

Alwani, Neil (author)This study investigates the application of generative models for synthetic data generation in pathway optimization experiments within the field of metabolic engineering. Conditional Variational Autoencoders (CVAEs) use neural networks and latent variable distributions to generate new, plausible data samples. We adapt this model by conditioning...bachelor thesis 2024

Schaap, Gert-Jan (author)Although existing work demonstrates that the usage of Scratch strengthens programming skills, little is known about the effect of children encouraging or criticizing each other when programming on the development of their programming skills. To address this gap, we conducted a data analysis to reveal the correlation (or lack thereof) between the...bachelor thesis 2024

Kiste, Amund (author)Solving Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) in engineering such as Navier-Stokes is incredibly computationally expensive and complex. Without analytical solutions, numerical solutions can take ages to simulate at great expense. In order to reduce this cost, neural networks may be used to compute approximations of the solution for use during...bachelor thesis 2024

van der Schoot, Mathijs (author)The Maven ecosystem, with an emphasis on Maven Central, contains a plethora of toy-projects. This paper addresses this problem by formulating a core containing the pillars of the Maven ecosystem, such that it can be exploited for research concerning li- brary quality. The construction of said core is done by analyzing the availability, relevance...bachelor thesis 2024

Rębacz, Mateusz (author)Open Source developers typically use Git repositories to transparently store the source code of projects and contribute to the code of others. There are millions of repositories actively hosted on platforms such as GitHub. This presents an opportunity for sharing knowledge between related projects – the so-called digital siblings. Finding...bachelor thesis 2024

Dujmović, Grga (author)The increasing presence of Machine Learning in all fields of study requires an improvement in how it is taught. Previous research on this topic examined how to teach ML concepts and highlighted the importance of using technology and leveraging relevant pedagogical content knowledge. It did not compare the impact of previous programming knowledge...bachelor thesis 2024

Crienen, Juul (author)GitHub is an online platform that hosts millions of projects. Many of these projects have the same topic or share the same goal. Finding similar projects which can be used as role models, inspiration or examples can help developers meet their requirements faster and more efficiently. Previous studies have been successful in finding similar...bachelor thesis 2024

Corak, Nino (author)One possible way of proving the famous and important Riemann hypothesis would be to realize the Riemann zeta zeroes as the eigenvalues of some self-adjoint operator, using self-adjointness to show that the non-trivial zeroes all lie on the critical line. This is known as the Hilbert-Polya conjecture. Interpreting such a self-adjoint operator as...bachelor thesis 2023

Chen, Si-Jing (author)At crime scenes, various methods can be used to determine how much time has passed since the act happened, for example a body left at the scene, camera footage or eye witnesses. In this thesis, however, a different method shall be used to determine the time of the crime. The time will be determined using blood evidence. <br/><br/>To be exact,...bachelor thesis 2023

Sleijfer, Josh (author)Humans are efficient at moving due to their exceptional mastery of bipedal locomotion. Several models have been made that attempt to model the motion of the centre of mass with a spring-mass system with various degree of success. For example, a two dimensional model tracks the height of the centre of mass well and a three dimensional model...bachelor thesis 2023

Jager, Pim (author)In dit verslag is een eolisch sedimenttransport model geformuleerd en het model van De Vries geïmplementeerd en geanalyseerd. Na de afleiding van de eendimensionale advectie-diffusievergelijking vanuit de driedimensionale continuïteitsvergelijking is eerst het model van De Vries zonder diffusie onderzocht. In het model kan er onderscheid gemaakt...bachelor thesis 2023

Golik, Bartek (author)Analysing single-cell RNA sequencing data is becoming an increasingly tedious task as the size of data sets grows. As a proposed solution, recent discoveries suggest that these data sets can be binarized without losing much information. This in turn should allow for memory and time efficient methods of storage and computation. Numerous analyses...bachelor thesis 2023
