Mol, Jaco (author)We will study the Clebsch-Gordan coefficients of the modular double of the quantum group Uq(sl(2, R)). This will be done by studying and taking a good look at how B. Ponsot and J. Teschner showed how to compute the Clebsch-Gordan coefficients [1]. Moreover, we will also take an introductory look at the concept of quantum groups by looking at...master thesis 2024

van Peijpe, Casper (author)This report presents a hybrid model- and data-based method for detecting and isolating faults in the ink channel of a printer using the self-sensing capability of piezo actuators. Grey-box system identification is used to identify the parameters of the model of the ink channel. The model is used to construct the fault detection (FD) filter. The...master thesis 2024

Pammi, Sushma (author)Drag reduction in ships is a key approach to decreasing their energy consumption. Besides saving fuel costs, it also decreases greenhouse gas emissions. One of the most promising techniques for drag reduction in ships is air lubrication, which reduces drag due to friction. Despite its great potential, application of air lubrication in the...master thesis 2024

Werners, Faïsha (author)Circular procurement has been found unsuccessful in two-thirds of the cases. Literature indicates that Systems Thinking (ST) is required to boost the transition to a circular building sector. This study focuses on the Initiation and Definition (I&D) phase of building projects. Currently several barriers impede the incorporation of circular...master thesis 2024

Yang, Vincent (author)This thesis investigates a container drayage problem involving terminals, depots, and shippers. Each terminal operates a homogeneous fleet of trucks that start and end at their respective terminals, carrying either one 40ft or two 20ft containers, and can make multiple trips within a single planning horizon. Terminals handle full containers and...master thesis 2024

van Leeuwen, Sunny (author)Several incidents involving the installation of temporary traffic signs by road workers have raised concerns about the effectiveness of these signs. Even in the absence of incidents, effectiveness is a relevant question, made more urgent by the incidents and the high risk of collision faced by road workers installing the signs. This paper...master thesis 2024

Pronk, Jeffrey (author)Even though much research has been conducted on body worn sensors, little research has been performed on specialized (non-ear-worn) headworn sensors. These sensors could be used to perform a variety of health related research. Therefore, this thesis focusses on a new low-power specialized (non-ear-worn) headworn sensor platform and explores how...master thesis 2024
