Etta Tabe, Takang Kajikaw (author)The volume and sophistication of data exfiltration attacks over networks have significantly increased in the last decade. This has resulted in the need for defense mechanisms, to effectively detect both known and unknown data exfiltration scenarios over the network. While methods such as DPI (Deep Packet Inspection) are commonly used to detect...master thesis 2019

Lekkas, Konstantinos (author)Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a noninvasive technique, allowing for the reversible modulation of activity in particular brain regions. TDCS has obtained much scientific interest and it promises many potential benefits to the patients.<br/><br/>However, tDCS that is performed today is almost the same with the method that was...master thesis 2019

Verhaegen, Tim (author)People with a shoulder amputation are very much dependent on active total arm prostheses to provide in their self-care and to perform basic daily activities. Research on the development of active upper limb prosthetics has been growing over the past couple of years. The state-of-the-art total prosthetic arms that have been developed are very...master thesis 2019

Tundulyasaree, Krissada (author)Public transport networks (PTNs) have an impact on both travelers’ behavior and system operations. A meaningful approach to investigate PTNs is via their topological structure because it was found to be correlated to the operational performance, the total ridership, consumer experience, passenger flow distribution, and network resilience. A...master thesis 2019

Elders, Bob (author)Electric Vehicles (EVs) are considered a promising solution when it comes to reducing CO2 emissions in the transport sector. To accommodate for large numbers of EVs, a considerable amount of additional charging infrastructure must be installed. Simultaneous charging of large quantities of EVs leads to peak loads in the energy grid. One way to...master thesis 2019

van Hugten, Max (author)The growing awareness of climate change asks for innovation in the methods of applying nourishments at the Dutch coastline. The concept Zandwindmolen has therefore been developed. Using wind mills at sea, sediment is dredged offshore and transported towards the shore, from where hydrodynamic and morphodynamic processes redistribute sediment...master thesis 2019

Kalyani, Sidharth Krishnan (author)Future designs of turbofan engines are heading towards High By-Pass Ratios (HBPR) to satisfy the requirements of improving the overall efficiency, but there is an inherent acoustic penalty related to this. An increase in the by-pass ratio imposes structural constraints on the engine leading to a decrease in the axial distance between the rotor...master thesis 2019

van Wingerden, Wouter (author)Contrary to a one-off jacket installation where a contractor can wait for favourable weather conditions, the installation of support structures for offshore wind turbines is of repetitive nature. This repetitive nature leads to a need for a better understanding of the behaviour during installation of various jacket geometries. This need brings...master thesis 2019

van Grieken, Jesper (author)In this thesis, a general method to predict the notional permeability for various structure lay-outs is developed. A numerical model is used to find a characteristic value for different structure lay-outs: the three structures for which Van der Meer determined the P-value, and a fourth structure of which the P-value has to be predicted. The P...master thesis 2019

Carter, Celine (author)Baggage handling systems (BHS) are unknown to most people, but play a vital role at airports. A BHS is a system that consists of different subsystems, each with its own functions. It is important to make well-informed decisions about the BHS as early as the conceptual design phase, which is the part of the design where the basic solution, such...master thesis 2019

Loman, Anouk (author)Nowadays glass is more commonly applied as structural element, either as a replacement for, or in collaboration with conventional building materials such as steel, aluminium, timber and concrete. Key arguments to opt for glass in structural design are sustainability, aesthetics and transparency. As for all structural elements, glass elements are...master thesis 2019

Verbruggen, Koen (author)Policymakers and literature have expressed the need for a visual and tangible manner of mapping circular value, the progress towards a fully circular economy and the presence of materials (material passport) in public space. Several initiatives exist for the measurement of circular progress. However, none have explicitly aimed towards the urban...master thesis 2019

Krämer, Alex (author)In a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), the pushbelt is the torque transmitting part consisting of around 400 steel elements which are held together by steel ring packs. Relatively high friction losses of the operating pushbelt are associated with the element saddle surface on which the steel rings are lying. The...master thesis 2019

Aantjes, Kees (author)Environmental factors in the field cause partial shading of Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) thin-film photovoltaic modules. Partial shading forces shaded cells into reverse bias leading to irreversible efficiency loss. The origin of the irreversible efficiency loss is the formation of defects in the shaded cell. The defects are going by the name of ’worm...master thesis 2019

Uildriks, Anne (author)The aim of this thesis research is to find ways to support student entrepreneurs in the development of sustainable startups. Specifically, to help them to oversee the sustainability impacts during the ideating phase. A design science approach is adopted for this. Seven experts on sustainable entrepreneurship related topics and eight student...master thesis 2019

Çalış, Metin (author)Consensus problem has been a topic of interest for many research areas allowing multiple agents to reach an agreement through local information exchange. The explicit share of the state variables, however, may cause privacy issues due to the confidentiality of the initial values. In this work, asynchronous privacy-preserving consensus average...master thesis 2019

Bauer, Lorijn (author)Timber structures are experiencing a revelation in the build environment due to new technologies and production techniques. However, the longest spans created with timber structures still don't compete with the span widths of structures made of steel. This thesis provides a preliminary design for the long-span football stadium roof structure of...master thesis 2019

Papadopoulos, Giorgos (author)The Submerged Floating Tunnel (SFT) is an innovative type of transport structure, with significant advantages in crossing long, deep and wide water areas, compared to more conventional types of bridges. Recognizing its potential, the Norwegian Public Roads Administration is planning to use such technology, in creating a ferry-free highway that...master thesis 2019

van Zuijlen, Belle (author)The supply for luxury yachts is growing which increases the competition between yachtbuilders. Additionally to lead time reduction, yachtbuilders are trying to maximise their output with the available space. This puts extra pressure on the logistics process. Waste in the logistics process reduces the efficiency and for that must be avoided. The...master thesis 2019

Li, Xin (author)Visual context plays a key role in many computer vision tasks, and performance of eye/gaze-tracking methods also benefit from it. However, the size of contextual information (e.g. full face image) is very large w.r.t the primary input i.e. cropped image of the eye. This adds large computational costs to the algorithm and makes it inefficient,...master thesis 2019
