Overwater, Ramon (author)The quantum bits (qubits) at the core of any quantum computers are so fragile that quantum error correction(QEC) schemes are needed to increase their robustness and enable fault-tolerant quantum algorithms. The surface code is one of the most popular QEC schemes, but it requires the availability of an efficient decoder. While neural networks...master thesis 2019

Karampekios, Antonios (author)Greece was amongst the first countries to be hit after the outburst of the European financial crisis in 2008. The crisis revealed the underlying intra-Eurozone macroeconomic imbalances and turned the attention of the global community and investors towards the very high level of Greek public debt. Private investments in the Greek economy also...master thesis 2019

Breukelman, Hubert (author)Laser surface treatments offer interesting prospects for the creation of architectured microstructures formed by distinct phases in metastable austenitic steels. In the present study, a laser-based localised heat treatment was developed to locally create an austenitic region in a quenched Fe25Ni0.2C martensitic microstructure. The highly...master thesis 2019

Chhabra, Arjun (author)Suzlon's wind turbine blades are connected to the pitch bearing and hence the hub using a T-Bolt (Ikea) connection. The merits of this bolted connection and the experience in its usage has led to its continuous use in the wind industry. Engineers at Suzlon believe that this connection can be optimized by improving the net-tension strength and...master thesis 2019

Ashirgade, Shriram (author)Processes occurring in the near-shore region operates on a small spatial and temporal scale. Simulations of these processes have long posed challenges for computational science, and to have accurate representations require a higher resolution. This results in computationally expensive models. This project aimed to investigate the possibility of...master thesis 2019

Vos, Gerrit (author)Tsirelson once claimed that the set of quantum correlations, defined by strategies of non-local two-player games, does not depend on which of two possible models is chosen: the tensor product model or the commuting operator model. He later came back from this claim, and the resulting conjecture is now known as Tsirelson’s problem. The problem...master thesis 2019

Bhat, Priyanka (author)LoRa is being widely adopted by industrial communities for its long range, robustness and low power wireless communication capabilities. In fact LoRa is gaining more popularity even amongst the common people as it is an affordable solution and operates in the unlicensed radio spectrum. However, LoRa provides a widely heterogeneous coverage; it...master thesis 2019

Carreiro Matias, Marcelo (author)The urban agenda is demanding new approaches for urban development. Urban flexibility has been recognized as crucial for coping with uncertainty and smart growth has been advocated as a sustainable urban practice. Urban flexibility and smart growth combined lead to a more dynamic land use, in which building adaptation leads to intensification of...master thesis 2019

Koerkamp, Hidde (author)The contemporary transportation system is encountering drawbacks related to air pollution, noise nuisance and traffic congestion. Emerging sustainable alternatives based on magnetic levitation have emerged but failed to successfully breakthrough in incumbent regimes based on high-speed rail and air transportation. Emerging innovation systems...master thesis 2019

Flores Santana, Cynthia (author)More than half of Mexico’s population is living in a type of poverty, recognized as a multidimensional challenge with a geographical context. Even though Mexico’s poverty is measured in a multifaceted way, the concept of Energy Poverty has not been studied, per se, by governmental institutions. It is until recently that the study of this concept...master thesis 2019

Tumuluru Ramesh, Nikhilesh (author)Experimental fluid dynamics and computational fluid dynamics have traditionally been treated as disparate fields of study. However, each field has its own unique set of advantages and disadvantages. Data assimilation is a field that can be used to leverage some of the advantages each field offers to help compensate mutual<br/>weaknesses. In this...master thesis 2019
