Langor, Erin (author)As the penetration of offshore wind farms continues to increase in Western Europe, the North Sea in particular is becoming more densely populated by offshore wind farms. Wind turbine wakes have been a topic of great research in the field of wind energy for some time, however the industry now seeks an understanding of the in- fluence of the wake...master thesis 2019

Šabanović, Armin (author)This thesis introduces the concept of phase rotation cancellation (PRC) as a previously unknown error mechanism in narrow-band FSK systems, and proposes a new FSK demodulation algorithm to resolve PRC errors. Phase rotation cancellation is defined as an event where the signal phasor rotation in the IQ plane is temporarily cancelled by the...master thesis 2019

Nikolić, Momir (author)The computational optimisation process have been used in the structural design for long time now. Even though it occasionally appears in architectural practice, it has not yet been completely developed and its full potential has not yet been recognised.<br/><br/>In order to further explore the potential of computational optimisation in...master thesis 2019

Degasperi, Andrea (author)Photoconductive antennas (PCAs) have been extensively utilized for the generation of broadband pulses over very large bandwidths. PCAs rely on a semiconductor (e.g. LT- GaAs) gap pumped by a laser and coupled to a passive structure biased at a certain voltage level. When the laser impinges on the semiconductor gap with an appropriate carrier...master thesis 2019

Post, Umbriël (author)Climate change causes temperatures to rise worldwide. Up until now it is unclear what effect this has on the global water cycle. In this study the output of two GFDL model experiments were thoroughly investigated and used in the moisture tracking model WAM-2layers, accounting for model runs in a past case in the end-20th century and future case...master thesis 2019

NIKOLAIDOU, Lina (author)Granular bed protections are a common measure to mitigate scour of the sand bed around hydraulic structures. In view of marching towards cost-effective solutions to tackle erosion-related problems, it is important to accurately predict the loads exerted on the bed and come up with the needed rock grading. To that end, a 3-D eddy resolving...master thesis 2019

Üşenti, Batuhan (author)For a project in the province of Zeeland, The Netherlands, a culvert was installed trough a dike to restore the tidal flow. Shortly after commissioning of the facility a scour hole at the end of the bottom protection developed. Although the scour hole was anticipated in the design, the scour hole was developing more rapidly than predicted....master thesis 2019

Koevoets, Igor (author)In the Rhine-Meuse Delta over 100 scour holes are located. Many of these scour holes have dynamic behaviour and are growing in size and depth. A scour hole can lead to an increased probability of flooding. One of the potential hazards of the presence of scour holes is the occurrence of flow slides on the foreshore next to scour holes. Depending...master thesis 2019

An, Xin (author)MR-based Electrical Properties Tomography (EPT) is a medical imaging modality to reconstruct the electrical conductivity and permittivity inside the human body based on the magnetic field data obtained from an MRI system. Currently, 2D CSI-EPT implementation is able to generate reliable reconstructions under special assumption of electromagnetic...master thesis 2019

Elghlan, Faris (author)This M.Sc. thesis report investigates the application of one-class classification techniques to complex high-dimensional data. The aim of a one-class classifier is to separate target data from non-target data, but only a dataset containing target data is available for training. The issue with high-dimensional data is that it is difficult to...master thesis 2019

Janssens, Martin (author)Today's leading projections of climate change predicate on Atmospheric General Circulation Models (GCMs). Since the atmosphere consists of a staggering range of scales that impact global trends, but computational constraints prevent many of these scales from being directly represented in numerical simulations, GCMs require "parameterisations'' -...master thesis 2019

Kohler, Klara (author)Forestwise wanted a suitable way to serve their Arenga Rainforest Sugar in Dutch cafés. This brown sugar comes from Indonesia and is a tasty, healthy and sustainable alternative to regular sugar. It is wild-harvested from the Arenga palm tree, which grows naturally inside the jungle. The Arenga sugar provides the local farmers with an income...master thesis 2019

Friđriksdóttir, Esther (author)Physical activity and mobility are important indicators of the recovery process of patients in the general ward of the hospital. Currently, monitoring mobility of hospitalized patients relies largely on direct observation from the caregivers. Accelerometers have the potential to quantify physical activity of patients objectively and without...master thesis 2019

Moret, Thijs (author)In the field of radiation oncology, proton therapy is a relatively new technique. It shows a great advantage over conventional radiation therapy in the depth-dose relation, which results in the possibility to deliver dose far more concentrated at a specific depth. This in turn has the potential to spare the healthy tissue surrounding a tumour...master thesis 2019

Port Call Efficiency Optimization, Using Data Analysis, Process Mining and Discrete Event SimulationMašović, Matti (author)Port call efficiency (PCE) is an important factor in the port choice of shipping lines. This research strives to contribute to the current work on PCE optimization. This is done by applying relative new techniques on port call related data. A combination of process mining (PM) and discrete event simulation (DEVS) is explored, with the Port of...master thesis 2019

Trikannad, Shreya (author)With the growing population and economic development, there is more stress on natural water resources. Additionally, current and future water shortages, increasing environmental concerns and stringent discharge standards demand high-quality treated water. In this scenario, it is crucial to recover water and wastewater resources for reuse,...master thesis 2019

Hussain, Yawar (author)Truly new business models are enabled periodically by a socio-technological disruption and most of the times, firms have to select and refine the already existing models to foster growth and sustain competition. However, the selection process is challenging as there is no right or wrong business model and what works for one firm might not work...master thesis 2019

Giltay, Joris (author)An issue in driving simulation is that behaviour displayed in simulation does not exactly replicate behaviour in real-life. For example, roadside vegetation density impacts a driver’s speed and lateral position in on-road studies, but not in driving simulator studies. In this study it is investigated if the increase in fidelity and presence that...master thesis 2019
