Weustink, C.A. (author), de Vries, J.W. (author)The most promising method for acoustic feedback control in public address systems is adaptive feedback cancellation (AFC). This approach is based on making an estimation of the room impulse response, which is used to subtract an estimate of the feedback from the microphone signal. A postfilter is often used to improve the performance of such an...bachelor thesis 2020

de Vries, Josephine (author)All museum visitors should be able to go to any museum they like and observe the artworks they prefer. For visually impaired people this is often not the case, even though museums have a social responsibility to make their collections accessible for everyone. Especially since the United Nations agreed on the rights of persons with disabilities...master thesis 2020

de Vries, Chiel (author)To validate the quality of software, test cases are used. These test cases are often manually-written, which is labor-intensive. To avoid this problem, automated software testing was invented. Search-based software testing is a useful tool for developers to automatically generate test cases. However, improvements are still needed to create test...bachelor thesis 2020

de Vries, Ismay (author)This thesis investigates different ways in which the productivity of a one-way bottling and packaging production line can be increased. This is done by comparing different configurations regarding machine capacities, machine reliability and buffer capacities with each other. This is done with both the use of a generic model and a case study. The...master thesis 2020

de Vries, Marieke (author)This thesis is dedicated to the application of data science to sports data. The research for this thesis is part of a bigger project on injury prevention and sport performance called Citius Altius Sanius (CAS). Two data sets from two different projects within CAS are analysed, with two different goals; one focusses on sports injury prevention in...master thesis 2019

de Vries, Jannelie (author)Interobserver reliability is a problem in behavioural studies. In order to increase the interobserver reliability, a formal checker is used to study behaviour. Together with a clear ethogram of basic behaviours, this tool can be used to automatically check for more complex behaviours and thus reducing the risk of biases introduced by human...master thesis 2019

Rietveld, Jip (author), de Vries, Rolf (author), de Boer, Jaap (author), Hondelink, Dieuwer (author)Amsterdam Airport Schiphol has 5 runways, each of which can be used for take-off or landing of aeroplanes. The weather heavily influences which runway configuration air traffic control might pick. Airport Forecasting Service (AFOS) predicts which configuration of runways works most efficiently given a set of expected weather conditions and the...bachelor thesis 2019

de Vries, Niels (author)Energy-based surgical instruments are increasingly used in laparoscopic surgical procedures. For example, the ultrasonic scalpel enables tissue coagulation and -cutting by transferring a mechanical vibration to the tissue. Additionally, real-time sensing is implemented to improve the surgical procedures. Intraoperative ultrasonography is one of...master thesis 2019

de Vries, Anouk (author)With the introduction of Automated Vehicles (AVs), new potential traffic situations could emerge on the roads. Although several studies on AVs have been conducted, most of these studies focus on the AV technology or on the driver, while there is less emphasis on how these AVs could interact and communicate with other road users. The interactions...master thesis 2019
