Hoedemaker, Rik (author)Several Geological Disposal Facilities rely on clay-rich formations as the host geological formation or engineered barrier. During the lifetime of a GDF, gasses may be generated primarily due to the anaerobic corrosion of metal, triggering gas migration throughout the natural or engineered barrier. If significant gas pressures build up,...master thesis 2024

Jongsma, Jelt (author)The first step of many cyber attacks is the reconnaissance phase. One of many reconnaissance methods employed by adversaries is internet-wide scanning, which<br/>probes the entire internet to find which hosts have open ports. These scans are practically<br/>impossible to detect by a firewall or Intrusion Detection System if an attacker chooses...bachelor thesis 2024

Ogreanu, Codrin (author)This paper introduces a new approach to the Preemptive Resource Constrained Project Scheduling Problem with setup times. The method makes use of a Constraint Optimization Problem solver, which has been modified to use priority-rule-based heuristics in its variable and value selection procedures. An alternative implementation which uses a...bachelor thesis 2024

Vianen, Jop (author)While CO<sub>2</sub> is one of the factors increasing the global temperature, it is also utilized in the agriculture to enhance crop yield. In the agriculture, a sustainable solution to CO<sub>2</sub> mitigation would potentially lie in the greenhouses. A moisture swing direct air capture system can adsorb CO<sub>2</sub> from the air through...master thesis 2024
