Fotis, Konstantinos (author)The Landing Platform Dock vessel is mainly designed to support amphibious operations in which landing operations play an important role. For operating landing craft the vessel has a well dock at the stern, designed to station several landing craft. Landing operations are restricted by the motions of the Landing Platform Dock vessel and by the...master thesis 2024

Manikandan, Rakshith (author)Fibre-reinforced laminated composites are constructed layer-by-layer, allowing their material properties to be easily tailored relative to their isotropic counterparts (metallic alloys). Moreover, a composite structure with variable stiffness (VS) can be made by spatially tailoring stiffness across a laminate. This permits better load...master thesis 2023

Marques da Rocha Feliciano Pereira, Sofia (author)Barrier options, although highly liquid financial derivatives, present notable pricing challenges. In this thesis, we present a novel pricing approach for valuing continuously-monitored knock-out barrier options within the framework of stochastic volatility models.<br/><br/>The underlying process is firstly modelled under geometric Brownian...master thesis 2023

Mendoza Silva, Santiago (author)Bacterial identification is crucial for addressing infectious diseases and enabling effective treatment strategies. Conventional bacteria identification methods like MALDI-TOF, while efficient, lack the capability for screening the effectiveness of antibiotics. On the other hand, existing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) tests, despite being...master thesis 2023

Bleeker, Julian (author)The research objective of this research is to develop a measurement method that can measure thin film thicknesses through a multilayer that consists of both surrounding thick layers and in between thin films. An optical non-contact measurement method is researched and developed to non-destructively measure the thickness of a liquid thin film,...master thesis 2023

Schuurman, Kevin (author)The use of deep learning in global weather forecasting has shown significant promise in improving both forecasting accuracy and speed. Traditional numerical weather prediction models have gradually improved forecasting skills but at the cost of increased computational complexity. In contrast, new deep learning models, trained directly on...master thesis 2023

Wever, Teun (author)In this research a new method for pricing continuous Arithmetic averaged Asian options is proposed. The computation is based on Fourier-cosine expansion, namely the COS method. Therefore, we derive the characteristic function of Integrated Geometric Brownian Motion based on Bougerol's identity. <br/><br/>Extensive numerical error analysis on the...master thesis 2023

van Vliet, Sjoerd (author)Different paradigms can be used to evoke brainwaves. These brainwaves can be interpreted as commands that can be used to control different applications. These frameworks that interpret the brainwaves are called brain-computer interfaces. Steady-state visually evoked potentials is one of these paradigms that uses external stimuli flickering at...master thesis 2023

de Alvear Cardenas, Jose Ignacio (author)Despite the camera being ubiquitous to unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), it has not been used for fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) due to the nonexistence of UAV multi-sensor datasets that include actuator failure scenarios. This thesis proposes a knowledge-based FDD framework based on a lightweight Long-Short Term Memory network that fuses...master thesis 2022

Boomaars, Kay (author)Sea level rise causes more difficulties for coastal maintenance. Although hard structures were built in the past to prevent for flooding, nature based solutions are preferred more recently. For the application of nature based solutions, a better understanding of the coastal processes is desired. Dry sand is transported towards the dunes by...master thesis 2022

CHENG, ZHIMIN (author)A wide range of practical problems involve computing multi-dimensional integrations. However, in most cases, it is hard to find analytical solutions to these multi-dimensional integrations. Their numerical solutions always suffer from the `curse of dimension', which means the computational complexity grows exponentially with respect to the...master thesis 2022

Keller, Ethan (author)Since the regularization of data privacy (e.g., GDPR), the effectiveness of data sharing has decreased. A promising technique to circumvent this problem is tabular data synthesis (i.e., the generation of fake tabular data that statistically resembles the original data). However, the state-of-the-art tabular data synthesis model, CTAB-GAN, fails...bachelor thesis 2022

ten Brink, Tip (author)As super-resolution methods make it possible to capture images at a resolution beyond the diffraction limit, they have no straightforward measure for optical resolution. Consequently, signal-to-noise ratio-based methods to determine resolution such as Fourier Ring Correlation (FRC) have seen increased<br/>use. We look at a new method, called...bachelor thesis 2022
