Hakim Zakuto, Aksel (author)The current state-of-the-art solutions for playing Chess, are created using deep reinforcement learning. AlphaZero, the current world champion, uses ’policy networks’ and ’value network’ for selecting moves and evaluating positions respectively. However, the training of these networks are done using reinforcement learning from games of selfplay....bachelor thesis 2021

Gilcher, Jakob (author), Denekamp, David (author)The accuracy of a true-RMS detector board based on the Analog Devices LTC5596 is determined by measuring the input power and the output voltage. A number of samples of the output voltage is taken and the mean and standard deviation is shown. These measurements are done for single-tone excitation with a direct connection and over-the-air setup,...bachelor thesis 2021

van der Weerd, Joost (author), Holshuijsen, Joris (author)In a world with limited resources and a growing awareness of the destructive effects greenhouse gasses, the concept of sustainability is becoming more and more prominent in research. Some of the biggest polluters are the aerial shipping and travel industries, for this reason it is vital that they become more sustainable. Therefore a transition...bachelor thesis 2021

Brouwer, Gees (author)The principle of a mirror anamorphosis relies on distortion caused by a reflective object of a particular shape and the perspective of a viewer looking into the reflective object to look at an image on the surface. The distortion of the reflected image is intended to form a recognizable image, while the image on the surface looks completely...bachelor thesis 2021

Fantazia, Qusay (author)Broadcast protocols are a crucial building block for some Agreement protocols. These are protocols used to reach an agreement on common values, action or datum in a distributed system through sending it in a message for other processes to accept it \cite{bracha1987asynchronous}. Byzantine processes are processes that hinder the network from...bachelor thesis 2021

Molhoek, Jord (author)Decision trees are most often made using the heuristic that a series of locally optimal decisions yields a good final decision tree. Optimal decision trees omit this heuristic and exhaustively search - with many optimization techniques - for the best possible tree. In addition, training an ensemble of decision trees with some randomness has...bachelor thesis 2021

Smits, Martijn (author)Big Data is an expanding industry, yet exhaustive and automated testing of Big Data applications is still in its early stages. In the last few years, testing framework for Big Data applications have started appearing. BigFuzz is a program that uses fuzz testing for Big Data applications. Fuzz testing means generating random, potentially invalid...bachelor thesis 2021

van Loenen, Mirte (author)Markov chains are used to describe random processes in discrete time, which have the property of being memoryless. This report covers Markov chains on a finite space that are homogeneous in time and mainly follows the structure of ''Markov Chains and Mixing Times''. Markov chains exhibit a strong connection with electric networks. We exploit...bachelor thesis 2021

Seuntjens, Sándor (author)Concrete compressive strength is the most frequently used and most important mechanical propertyof concrete. National and international building codes (such as the Eurocode) frequently use the compressive strength for design with concrete.<br/><br/>In some cases, instead of testing the concrete specimens under compressive loading in...bachelor thesis 2021

Brouwer, Jonathan (author)Agda2hs is a program which compiles a subset of Agda to Haskell. In this paper, an implementation of the Haskell library QuadTree is created and verified in this subset of Agda, such that Agda2hs can then produce a verified Haskell implementation. To aid with this verification, a number of techniques have been proposed which are used to prove...bachelor thesis 2021

Wielinga, Kevin (author)Proton therapy is a great way to treat cancer, since protons can concentrate energy on one single spot, which minimises the irradiated healthy tissue. Because of this property protons are sensitive to uncertainties. Since the tumour is not stationary throughout the treatment, multiple scans are essential. With the current dose calculation...bachelor thesis 2021

Dhauri, Sha'ief (author)Projections show that urban areas are growing at an increasing rate and produce 60% of the global greenhouse gas emissions (United Nations, n.d.). In Europe, the thermal energy sector consumes about half of the energy resources, of which 85% is produced by fossil fuel-based energy systems (Drijver, Bakema, & Oerlemans, 2019). As a result of...bachelor thesis 2021

Koetsier, Maria (author)The concrete bridges constructed in the 1960s and 1970s lack shear reinforcement, rendering them non-compliant with current design regulations. To potentially enhance their shear capacity, the proposed approach involves applying a layer of ultrahigh-performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) on both sides of the normal strength concrete (NSC...bachelor thesis 2021

Erblich, Hans (author)In this thesis, the significance of the so-called ‘induced demand’ phenomenon is discussed. This phenomenon can occur when a stretch of road which is prone to congestion is widened. Although this widening should in theory solve congestion problems, it can often spawn additional effects, typically undesired and occasionally unforeseen. These...bachelor thesis 2021

Vermeulen, Jeroen (author), Benaich, Tarik (author)Epilepsy is a severe neurological disorder that affects every aspect of a patient’s life. Unfortunately, there is no complete cure for everyone on the market yet. However, a lot of work has been done on seizure prevention. The entire project details the proof of concept implementation of a secure and reliable MBAN (Medical Body Area Network)...bachelor thesis 2021

van der Voorn, Jesper (author)Due to the advancements made in the GPS technology, a new smartphone RTK-GPS system can be used to do measurements with high accuracy, while the equipment is much cheaper than before. In addition, the equipment is relatively small. This makes the system useful for measuring the velocity of the water currents with the use of a drifter. Currently...bachelor thesis 2021

Dahoe, Terrence (author)The estimation of railway track parameters from a target frequency response function is a non-convex optimization problem. The objective of this thesis is to evaluate new evolutionary optimization methods to solve the railway track optimization problem. We use a Python based platform, since this programming language is increasing in popularity...bachelor thesis 2021

Sijsenaar, Jochem (author)We inspect the behavior of the probability that a weighted sum of random variables with log-normal tails is greater than its expected value. Under the right conditions for the weights and the variance being set to 1; we were able to bound a suitable transformation of this probability with the upper bound being a fixed factor of the square root...bachelor thesis 2021

de Bruin, Jaap (author)Cancer is still one of the most serious diseases for humanity. Internal radiation therapy with alpha particles is a promising method to battle cancer, but it is currently limited to easily accessible tumors. A more advanced and selective method for alpha radiation therapy that will have better outcomes, fewer side effects, and higher efficacy is...bachelor thesis 2021

van der Bent, Isa (author)Bij schaken wordt een rating system gebruikt om te bepalen hoe goed een schaker is. In deze bachelor thesis is onderzocht of er een rating system gemaakt kan worden voor zeilwedstrijden. Hierbij is gebruik gemaakt van Bayesiaanse statistiek en de theorie achter het rating systeem voor schakers. Het bedachte rating systeem is bedoeld voor drie...bachelor thesis 2021
