Schijvenaars, Sofie (author)Globally, coastal communities face increasing risks from climate-related hazards such as flooding, shoreline erosion, and salt intrusion. These hazards pose threats to both people and their environment, with extreme sea level events increasing these risks. Satellite altimetry allows for global observation of the sea level, reaching remote...master thesis 2024

Nanni, Carolina (author)Decentralized drinking water production continues to face challenges in achieving acceptable standards for human consumption. This is mainly due to difficulty in developing treatments that can operate effectively in low-resource settings, either due to complications associated with providing the system in a decentralized context or overall...master thesis 2024

Flieger, Lucy (author)Traditional methods of building with concrete are materially wasteful, highly polluting, and often structurally inefficient. The vast global consumption of concrete plays a large role in the construction industry’s negative effects on the environment, necessitating a significant change in the way we design and build with concrete. The fluid...master thesis 2024

Termeer, Alef (author)In civil engineering, construction projects often involve assembling various components at different stages, creating interfaces where load transfer must be considered. This load transfer is governed by dowel action (reinforcement), mechanical interlock, adhesive bonding, and friction. Without reinforcement, most concrete interfaces are brittle...master thesis 2024

Verkleij, Charlotte (author)Postwar neighbourhoods, designed in the 1950s and '60s with the wijkgedachte in mind, have developed into unattractive environments. These areas are now defined by monotonous apartment blocks surrounded by vast stretches of grass and car-focused infrastructure. As a result, the quality of life has declined. This graduation project researches how...master thesis 2024

Hoogeveen, Liz (author)Over the last decades, the complexity of projects has been increasing. Studies have shown that using existing project management theories in a traditional manner has failed to bring success (Whitty & Maylor, 2009). It is impossible to predict everything and act according to a static plan (Sohi et al., 2019). Improvisation is inevitable ...master thesis 2024

Crăciun, Marius (author)AI and machine learning have been topics of big interest in the last couple of years, with plenty of applications in many domains. To train these models into useful and desirable tools, a large amount of data is necessary. This data is expensive to collect, becoming one of the most valuable commodities of this century. As the value of data...bachelor thesis 2024

Feng, YINGXIN (author)Generative AI is developing rapidly and has shown great potential in generating and editing images with text prompts. It has achieved partial success in the challenging 3D model edits of common objects. However, there is a lack of attention in the building domain, which already faces certain limits in the 2D space. 3D building models automatic...master thesis 2024

Bakker, Aron (author)In the pursuit of sustainable development, the construction industry faces the dual challenges of material scarcity and the environmental impact of its material usage. This thesis explores the potential of hybrid structures, specifically employing reused wooden elements, to address these challenges and transition towards a zero-waste economy....master thesis 2024

Jaspers, Jesse (author)During this research, we investigate if there exists a k(n)-core in the scale-free configuration model, this is a commonly used null model to simulate networks. The scale-free configuration model produces a random graph, where the degree of every vertex is determined using a random variable. In this thesis, the discrete Pareto variable is used...bachelor thesis 2024

Raave, Mike (author)Data security has become more important over the last few years as data sharing over the world has become trivial. Data ownership therefore becomes critical as data can be very valuable and vulnerable to theft. Watermarking is a technique that can help data owners prove ownership over their data. In this paper, an approach is presented to...bachelor thesis 2024

Schoon, Theo (author)In Oxford and Cambridge, higher education arose around the 13th century and has undergone major developments. One of the first colleges in Oxford was Balliol College started<br/>as an act of charity in 1260 by the King of Scots, John Balliol, where Balliol housed poor students in a house rented by him (Jones, n.d.). Over the years, several...master thesis 2024

Olsthoorn, Mitchell (author)Software testing is important to make sure that code works as intended. Traditionally, this verification process has relied on manual testing, which is not only time-consuming but also susceptible to human errors. Through the use of automated test case generation techniques, we can automate this process and reduce the time and effort needed to...doctoral thesis 2024
