Christiaanse, Jennie (author)In this thesis, an algorithm that calculates the hosting capacity of independent PV, or EV charger systems was created. The hosting capacity is based on slow voltage variations and voltage unbalances caused by worst case PV generation and EV charging scenarios. The algorithm was run for four different commercial and industrial networks, and a...master thesis 2019

Acevedo Olaya, Sebastían (author)The relevance of persuasion for product care. Aiming at increasing users’ interest in sustainable consumption, different lines of research and initiatives ranging from frameworks for design to community-based approaches, have presented routes to support a transition from a linear economy to a circular economy. These models intend to extend the...master thesis 2019

Nambiar, Malavika (author)Biodegradable materials such as polymers and magnesium and its alloys are gaining attention and approval for clinical use as osteosynthesis implants. However, polymers often lack the required mechanical strength and commercial Mg systems contain elements that are not naturally occurring in the body. Extra-high purity magnesium alloyed with 1...master thesis 2019

Peeters Weem, Froukje (author)Upper limb amputees, using a body-powered prosthesis, generate energy with their shoulders which leads to opening or closing of the prosthesis. The preference for one of these types, voluntary opening (VO) or voluntary closing (VC), differs for individuals and for task specifics. Research is, therefore, done regarding terminal devices which...master thesis 2019

Obiji, Chibuikem (author)Tata Steel employs physical vapour deposition (PVD) as a novel galvanization technique in their line production to prevent corrosion. In this process, zinc is evaporated in a vapour distribution box (VDB) and directed via nozzles into a vacuum where it is deposited on a steel substrate. In order to reduce stray deposition, achieve high and...master thesis 2019

de Lange, Danny (author)PURPOSE. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the possibility of implementing a prototype of a steerable needle in a medical procedure. Therefore the two main research questions are: “Can the intended user perform a steering motion with the steerable needle and reach the target area following a straight and curved trajectory?” and “Does...master thesis 2019

Mavvaj, Yasaman (author)As we move towards a world in which the lines between the physical and the digital are increasingly blurred, we see a maturing vision for architecture that actively participates in our lives. Our architectural surrounding has become so closely tied to technological trends that the two ultimately define each other. The push for ubiquitous...master thesis 2019

Rozendaal, Marco (author)Tidal inlet systems are often highly valuable and sometimes even unique ecosystems. However, field measurements show that tidal inlet systems are sensitive to changing exogenous conditions, such as rising sea levels. This thesis aims to investigate to what extent the adjacent sea influences the stability and equilibrium state of the tidal inlet....master thesis 2019

Jiang, Qiyou (author)This work presents a low-noise amplifier (LNA) for ultrasound imaging with built-in continuous time-gain compensation (TGC), which compensates for the time-dependent attenuation of the received echo signal and thus significantly reduces its dynamic range (DR). The proposed design combines the LNA and TGC functions in a single variable-gain...master thesis 2019

Verheijen, Mario (author)While there are many factors influencing the efficiency of photovoltaic (PV) cells one of the most important ones is temperature. Module temperatures can get significantly higher than the ambient temperature, increases of up to 30°C have been reported in literature. An increase in temperature has an adverse effect on the module’s efficiency,...master thesis 2019

Adhikari, Sharad (author)This study explores towards the positive side of project uncertainties i.e., opportunity. Opportunities occuring in such projects has the potential to enhance the project’s initial objective and could add more value to the project. However, due to lack of an effective approach for opportunity identification and several constraints prevailing in...master thesis 2019

Meijssen, Aart (author)Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) could turn an electric vehicle (EV) into a potential source of flexibility, in order to deal with the variability and uncertainty in electricity supply brought about by renewable energy sources and the load increase caused by the adoption of EVs. However, only a few studies have focussed on the complexity of EV drivers’...master thesis 2019

Shah, Ashni (author)This graduation project is a collaboration between the Inclusive City Hub (part of Delft Design Labs) and the Gemeente Delft. This project focuses on the topic of participation for creating people–centered cities. The initial problem definition of the project was to understand how the municipality of Delft can design with the people of the city...master thesis 2019

Sabée, Wendo (author)Privacy in the Internet is under attack by governments and companies indiscriminately spying on everyone. The anonymity network Tor is a solution to restore some privacy, however, Tor is slow in both bandwidth and latency. It uses a TCP-based connection to multiplex different circuits between nodes and this causes different independent circuits...master thesis 2019

Gerard, Valentin (author)The apparition of the Internet was a revolution that allowed to connect people all around the world. It was a disruptive technology that helped to shape the modern society as we know it today. However, to trust a person we interact with but we are not able to see is difficult. In order to trust people in this huge network, different digital...master thesis 2019
