Smit, Thijn (author)The Netherlands is building to little in wood and relies way too much on high-emission materials, such as concrete. The building culture is changing, but way to gradual. In response to the scarcity of resources, nitrogen crisis, climate change and the housing crisis, the Netherlands has to turn more to biobased materials, foremost wood, as a...master thesis 2021

Smit, Chris (author)Measuring cognitive load is essential for understanding driver performance. Under- and overload can result in dangerous situations on the road. Cognitive load can be estimated by monitoring the diameter and movements of the pupils, but during measurements external influences such as changes in light intensity affect pupil diameters. In this...master thesis 2020

Smit, Daan (author)The aim of this study is the assessment of the mechanical performance reduction due to manufacturing-induced gaps and voids (delaminations) in thermoplastic composite pipes. The effects of gaps are assessed based on the finite element modeling of an internal pressure load case and is validated by experimental tensile coupon testing. Results show...master thesis 2020

Smit, Angela (author)This thesis is about reconstructing historical vaults with cast glass. The vision is to design a complete dry-assembly cast glass arch vault where the Notre Dame de Paris is the chosen case study. The main question is: To what extent can a historical masonry arch vault be reconstructed by using cast glass components? The method is based on...master thesis 2020

Smit, Niels (author)Throughout human history deltas attract people and all other sorts of life. Inherent to this increase of delta life is the growth in conflicting values and interests. Coastal systems are not only natural systems, but can also be regarded as societal and ecological systems. Development of the coastal system inevitably leads to changes in these...master thesis 2020

Smit, Dominique (author)The subject of this thesis is the development and evaluation of a modular well intervention business concept. The concept aims to bridge the gap between surface and subsea well intervention markets, currently served by different vessel types, using a platform vessel and equipment modules. The regional scope is South-East Asia, due to its low...master thesis 2019

Smit, Stefan (author)Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), also known as brittle bone disease, affects 1 in 10.000 births. This disease is characterized by skeletal dysplasias, bone fragility and many secondary health issues. It is a heritable disorder affecting collagen type I, which is an essential protein in bone tissue. Post-translational overmodifications in collagen...master thesis 2018

Smit, Linda (author)Many cities in the Netherlands have poor areas that have to deal with a lot of social problems. One of the approaches that policymakers use to improve these areas is the so- called gentrification approach. In this approach policy makers renovate and rebuild parts of the neighborhoods in order to attract more ‘better educated’ citizens to these...master thesis 2018

Smit, Ruud (author)Neoclassical economics dictates the decision-making process of economic agents as the mathematical problem of maximizing utility over a prescribed planning horizon. The mathematical similarities with optimal control theory lead to a new interpretation of economic agents as optimal controllers. Pontryagin's maximum principle generates the...master thesis 2018
