Integrated Sustainable Port Design: Framework Development Port Masterplan

Ports have evolved into an essential part of a nation’s economy [Schipper et al., 2015]. In order to obtain economic growth and prevent loss of trade and competitive position, the worldwide growth in port development will not stop [PIANC 2014a]. At present the port development process typically results in environmental mitigation and/or harm....

Implementing and evaluating a simplified transistor model for timing analysis of integrated circuits

Static Timing Analysis (STA) is one approach to verify the timing of a digital circuit. The currently used Gate Level Model (GLM) has limitations on performing STA for circuits when taking process variations into consideration. The transistor level model is developed taking the statistical factors into account. This thesis presents an...

Swaption Pricing Under Affine Interest Rate Models

In this thesis, we will analyze swaptions whose short term interest rates are assumed to follow some affine models with dimension of factors more than two, so called multiple-factor interest rate models. Considering there is generally no analytical swaption price, we attempt to approximate it, and our discussion will focus on one of these...

Sharestream: Collaborative creation of music playlists on a multi-touch surface

This master thesis shows how to assitant users to create music playlist collaboratively on a Multi-touch surface in an interface design. The project is sponsored by Philips Applied technology. As Philips gains profound knowledge while manufacturing and selling large display products, the large display technology itself tends to increase in size...
