Mulder, Mats (author)Previous research on diversity in recommender systems define diversity as the opposite of similarity and propose methods that are based on topic diversity. Diversity in news media, however, is understood as multiperspectivity and scholars generally agree that fostering diversity is the key responsibility of the press in a democratic society....master thesis 2020

Mulder, Liselotte (author)Large Low Shear-Velocity Provinces (LLSVPs) in Earth have been recognized in seismic data for several decades. The anomalies are however still poorly understood for reasons including their inconvenient location in the deep mantle, inhibiting progress in our understanding. Comprehension of these structures is important, because of their...master thesis 2019

Mulder, Justin (author)This thesis develops a method to forecast the cash flows that determine the value of an enterprise. From a control engineers perspective, three stages arise to develop such a method: the research, the system and the control part. The research part presents the results of a control theoretic analysis of PricewaterhouseCoopers’ (PwC) valuation...master thesis 2019

Mulder, Ike (author)Packing problems are concerned with filling the space with copies of a certain object, so that the least amount of space stays unoccupied. The famous Kepler conjecture asserts that the cannonball packing of spheres is the most efficient packing achievable, and was recently formally proven by Hales.<br/><br/>Dostert, Guzman, Oliveira Filho and...master thesis 2019

Mulder, Luuk (author)Irreversible damage induced by stress in brittle rock is accompanied by the formation of micro-cracks. The strain energy released during the fracturing process is released in the form of acoustic emission. This thesis applied the non-intrusive method of acoustic emission monitoring to assess the deformation process of brittle rock during...master thesis 2019

Mulder, Boris (author)Very complex flows can be expensive to compute using current CFD techniques. In this thesis, models based on deep learning were used to replace certain parts of the flow domain, with the objective of replacing well-known regions with simplified models to increase efficiency. To keep the error produced by the deep learning model bounded, a...master thesis 2019

Mulder, Evert (author)The topic of this thesis is Integrity Monitoring (IM), with special focus on the Singapore Satellite Positioning Reference Network (SiReNT) infrastructure. This network infrastructure supports and improves Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) applications, related to positioning, navigation, tracking and (deformation) monitoring. This...master thesis 2019

Mulder, Martijn (author)The growing world population and climate change have resulted in increasing stress on the Earth’s ecosystems. Especially the overexploitation of agricultural land, overgrazing and extreme droughts have resulted in land degradation, often called desertification. This leads to the disappearing of natural vegetation, the loss of soil quality, lower...master thesis 2018

Mulder, J.T. (author)Quantum dots are semiconductor nanocrystals that exhibit size specific photophysical properties. Therefore, they can be applied as phosphors in LED lighting and television screens. The main issue regarding currently used quantum dots is that most of them are cadmium based (e.g. cadmium selenide). Because cadmium is highly toxic and carcinogenic,...master thesis 2018

Mulder, Y.T.B. (author)A new class of accelerator interfaces has signi cant implications on system architecture. An order of magnitude more bandwidth forces us to reconsider FPGA design. OpenCAPI is a new interconnect standard that enables attaching FPGAs coherently to a high-bandwidth, low- latency interface. Keeping up with this bandwidth poses new challenges for...master thesis 2018

Mulder, A. (author)In the past decades a clear transition can be seen from fully human-based production techniques towards more automated systems. With the Product Development Process (PDP) being a potential source of competitive advantage the same trend of adopting more automation can be seen in the PDP. The application of automation can lead to large reductions...master thesis 2015

Mulder, D.T. (author)In recent years, the concept of 3D city models has been gaining in importance as more 3D geometry of urban areas is becoming available. Although 3D City models offer a structured way of storing geometry, in practice a significant amount of geometry is not considered valid. This hinders the further analyzing or processing of these models. Since...master thesis 2015
