Groen, Maarten (author)It is expected by the EWEA that in the North Sea only the wind energy capacity will increase to 45 GW. In 2015 the capacity was only 5.2 GW. Offshore contractors should be capable of installing lots of turbines and just that is a problem. As turbines increase in size installation vessels need significant upgrades. Therefore, most contractors...master thesis 2019

Frank, Abel (author)Eerst introduceren we het rekenkundig-meetkundig gemiddelde (RMG), een snel convergerend algoritme dat een verband heeft met π en nog veel meer constanten en functies. Hoffmann toont dit in een bewijs aan, echter is deze niet waterdicht en amper onderbouwd. Daarom gaan wij ons verdiepen in dit bewijs en met name een stap die twee ogenschijnlijk...bachelor thesis 2019

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
