Tan, Xin (author)Many functional imaging modalities such as EEG, fMRI, and fUS were developed, and have the potential to achieve the brain-computer interface. In addition to those conventional functional imaging modalities which measure the electrical signal or neurovascular coupling induced by brain activity, Patz et al. found evidence for the existence of a...master thesis 2022

Gallardo Torres, Victor (author)Wave surfing is a water sport in which a surfer uses a board to ride a wave towards the shore. It is done in the coastal areas around the globe. Each surf spot has its own wave quality depending on the wave climate and the type of coast. Some spots have year-round perfect waves and other surf spots only work ’when the stars are aligned.’ The...student report 2022

Grolman, Wouter (author)The demand for renewable energies is rising due to climate goals and high oil prices. Not only the established renewable sources like wind and solar are interesting to exploit. There is a vast amount of energy stored in the world’s oceans. To harvest this energy, one needs a Wave Energy Converter (WEC). There<br/>are already some prototype WECs...master thesis 2022

Ligthart, Liam (author)More insight has been gathered on the performance of the SPLITTER (Stationary spectrum Plus Low-rank Iterative TransmiTtance EstimatoR) algorithm as developed by Brackenhoff for denoising data gathered from observations of high-redshift galaxies. By using matrix decomposition to split the gathered data into a low-rank atmosphere matrix and a...bachelor thesis 2022

Kidiyur Sathish, Akarsh (author)With the advent of offshore wind farms, the research into the various phenomenon that affects their performance is vast and detailed. But the effect of a particular phenomenon, atmospheric gravity waves (AGWs), on wind farm performance is limited. AGWs are oscillations of the airflow due to an imbalance in the buoyancy and gravity forces,...master thesis 2022

Bolhuis, Thirza (author)Layman Summary<br/>The goal of this paper is to study how waves move over a fluid in with an underlying current. Oceans displace debris and heat. Ocean models can be used to predict the movement of debris and even predict the effect of the movements of oceans on the climate. Modeling water can be improved by introducing more information from...bachelor thesis 2022

El Sayed, Kareem (author)In this study the contribution of the low-frequency residuals to the sea-level variability has been examined. This is done using 106-year old sea-level record obtained at Hoek van Holland. Computing the mean sea-level per season each year and the corresponding standard deviation one finds an increase in both these features of the sea-level...bachelor thesis 2022

van Ooijen, Cas (author)This thesis is about the wave equation. The wave equation describes waves that propagate through a certain medium. The solution of the wave equation is a mathematical description of what that wave looks like. There are many fields of study where the wave equation is used to model processes that behave like travelling waves. For instance, a...bachelor thesis 2022

Molenkamp, Auke (author)With the advance of urbanisation in coastal regions comes an increase in armoured shorelines and the destruction of coastal marine habitats. To combat this, ECOncrete Tech Ltd has developed a new eco-friendly armour unit, the CoastaLock. With its ecological advantages proven, its hydraulic performance is still largely unknown. This thesis aims...master thesis 2022

Smit, Michiel (author)Coastal and offshore infrastructure must be designed to withstand extreme wave-induced loading conditions. Extreme Value Analysis (EVA) is often employed to infer probabilistic distributions that provide information about extreme design conditions. In traditional practices, EVA is performed under the assumption of stationarity. This means that...master thesis 2022

Cranney, Trey (author)This report will investigate the manipulation of biomolecules on 2D hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) crystal surfaces. The goal of this research is to explore the potential for a device that utilizes the interaction between biomolecules and hBN as a new approach to protein sequencing. Our hypothesis is that molecules adsorbed to hBN surfaces can be...master thesis 2022

Hoogervorst, Chris (author)This thesis analyses the importance and application of considering multiple coexisting wave trains in sediment transport predictions.<br/><br/>The wave trains at offshore and nearshore locations are analyzed by wave spectral partitions (Portilla at el., 2009). The temporal variability of consistently occurring wave trains can be analyzed through...master thesis 2022

de Graaf, John (author), Mao, Rui (author)In this thesis, the realization and qualification of an anechoic dome chamber for 5G antenna’s is discussed. As with audio, where no echoes or noise from outside is wanted when listening to music, when characterizing an antenna it must be prevented to get internal reflections or electromagnetic (EM) radiation from outside. For this reason, a...bachelor thesis 2022

Scherders, Eva (author)Imaging by inversion of acoustic or electromagnetic wave fields have applications in a wide variety of areas, such as non-destructive testing, biomedical applications, and geophysical explorations. Unfortunately, each modality suffers from its own application specific limitations, typically being difficulties in distinguishing different...master thesis 2022

Buitelaar, Maarten (author)A dam-break wave can result in considerable damages and casualties. Events that can lead to such waves include dike and dam breaches, storm surges and impulse waves. Dutch history is familiar with a number of coastal dike breaches but also river dike breaches have occurred, resulting in dam-break waves reaching far inland. Beyond the Netherlands...master thesis 2022

de Vlam, Valérie (author)Vibrotactile wearable devices are a non-intrusive and inexpensive means to provide haptic feedback directly on the user’s skin. These devices utilize one or multiple vibrotactile actuators to generate vibrations across the skin and into the tissue. Combining these vibrations in amplitude can create the illusion of a funneled sensation on the...master thesis 2022

Barahona Lopez, Marina (author)Current manufacturing techniques in the aviation industry result in a number of two-dimensional surface irregularities (e.g. panel joints, seals, seams) which can lead to an increase in skin friction due to premature boundary layer transition. Panel joints are...master thesis 2022

Ahmed, Azeem (author)The purpose of this report is to design a wave energy converter, in particular a U-oscillating water column (U-OWC), to maximize energy conversion in the low wave energy environment of Gwadar, Pakistan. At present Pakistan’s 1000km coastline is largely undeveloped and the county is devoid of any wave energy harnessing devices or studies. However...master thesis 2022

Witvoet, Martijn (author)Fatigue lifetime has proven to be a leading design parameter for naval vessels. In the field of fatigue analysis and design of welded joints, two overall methods are distinguished: the temporal and spectral approach. Using empirical models, the spectral approach is typically preferred due to its efficiency, even though damage estimates are...master thesis 2022

Luijten, Tim (author)Starting in the 1930’s, many research projects have been performed with the intent to establish rules, which can be used to design granular, geometrically closed filter structures for hydraulic structures. However, for the vast majority of these research projects, the filter structure was loaded by uniform flow, either in the parallel or...master thesis 2022
