Grappin, Marie (author)Massively reducing Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions is one of the biggest challenges of the 21th century. An important deployment of Renewable Energies (RE) can be a key element in attaining this objective. Setting a (high) carbon price would greatly help as it would send a powerful signal to RE investors that it is time to switch from high...master thesis 2019

Lutgerink, Jochem (author)The average worldwide internet traffic demand in 2022 is projected to be over 1200 Terabits per second. A fifth of this data would be transmitted using mobile networks. One of the technologies used for this is radio frequency (RF) telecommunication, but this technology is reaching its limits. Despite ongoing development, typical data rates are...master thesis 2019

Rentroia Pacheco, Barbara (author)Due to their altered genetic context, cancer cells can become dependent on specific genes for their survival. Such cancer-specific dependencies may represent promising therapeutic targets. However, knowledge on which molecular features of cancer cells induce specific dependencies is still limited and hampers the development of effective targeted...master thesis 2019

Padalia, Pinakin (author)Voltage references are one of the fundamental building blocks for designing any analog processing circuit. It serves as a reference for Analog to Digital Converters (ADCs), Digital to Analog Converters (DACs), power/voltage regulators and other measurement and control circuits. The performance of all these circuits cannot be better than the...master thesis 2019

Ravesloot, Jens (author)The advancements in driver assistance systems in cars and the development of autonomous vehicles require more states of the car to be known than the conventional sensors can accurately determine. Load sensing bearings (LSBs) are under development that measure the wheel forces under dynamic load. Through sensor fusion, the addition of this sensor...master thesis 2019

Tian, Yuan (author)Model-free reinforcement learning has proved to be successful in many tasks such as robotic manipulator, video games, and even stock trading. However, as the dynamics of the environment is unmodelled, it is fundamentally difficult to ensure the learned policy to be absolutely reliable and its performance is guaranteed. In this thesis, we borrow...master thesis 2019

Prasad, Nivedita (author)People like to travel in groups to visit places. Group recommendation systems can be used to recommend an itinerary of "places of interests" (POIs) in an ordered sequence. The order of POIs in the sequence can be explained to group members to increase acceptance of the recommended items. There is a possibility that explanations which reveal...master thesis 2019

Zhang, Jiadi (author)In this thesis, the joint DOA-range estimation of stationary targets is investigated using multiple FMCW MIMOs with super-resolution capability. To address the low azimuth resolution problem of single small MIMO, a novel topology of array is used, which consists of multiple MIMOs arranged along the azimuth to increase azimuth resolution by...master thesis 2019

Smilde, Elsemiek (author)Danieli Corus supplies tailor-made solutions for the global steel industry. Cameras are used in tuyeres of blast furnaces to detect physical aspects and irregularities. No operator could monitor those videos all day, which is why video analyses are needed. A program is written to analyse a test video and give information about the temperature,...bachelor thesis 2019

Zamorano de Blas, Ruben (author)Global population is expected to keep growing in the coming decades. The United Nations claims that food production will need to increase by 70% due to the growth of population. It will be challenging to increase food production to those levels if the amount of food losses in the supply chain of Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) companies is not...master thesis 2019

Singh, Jaswinder (author)The innovation of underwater exhaust systems on ships increases onboard space, reduces noise emission and allows for zero direct emissions. For defense vessels, stealth is increased as the heat signature reduces due to underwater exhaust. However, there is a disadvantage of dynamic back pressure at the exhaust outlet which deteriorates the...master thesis 2019
