Xu, Boliang (author)Packet communication applications cannot guarantee correct delivery of every packet. Congestions and interferences in the network lead to lost packets. However, real-time applications require timely delivery of data or information and always tolerate packet loss to achieve this aim. When some speech packets are lost, packet loss concealment (PLC...master thesis 2017

Jerez Venegas, Marcos (author)Airborne wind energy is a new research field that aims to harvest winds at high altitudes. The pumping kite concept investigated at the Delft University of Technology is based on leading edge inflatable kites that divide a generation cycle into three phases: traction, retraction, and transition. This research project aims to optimise the...master thesis 2017

Bruinsma, Quinten (author), Hill, Kevin (author), Hamburger, Rens (author)For both security and analytics, much research has gone into person tracking already. As a result, many<br/>different state of the art technologies exist. However, in darkness or without a direct line of sight, much<br/>less technologies are capable of this. The choices become especially limited when the setup needs to<br/>be portable.<br/>A...bachelor thesis 2017

Ge, H. (author)To improve the conversion efficiency of c-Si solar cells, it is crucial to quench the recombination losses at c-Si/metal interface. Such recombination losses are able to be reduced by using carrier-selective passivating contacts by means of hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) and poly-crystalline silicon (poly-Si)/tunneling silicon oxide ...master thesis 2017

Soh Kae Ching, Kae Ching (author)Incentive regulation has become challenging due to the increased information asymmetries and uncertainties driven by the diffusion of distributed energy resources (DER) and smart grid technologies. A combination of a Reference Network Model (RNM) and a menu of profit-sharing contracts has been used in this thesis to address these problems in...master thesis 2017

Van den Broeck, Michael (author)The use of Taylor Series Integration (TSI) for the propagation of spacecraft trajectories and its combination with the relatively unknown Unified State Model (USM) coordinate system, resulting in the TSI-USM propagator, is known to allow fast propagation of interplanetary low-thrust trajectories. Unfortunately, the TSI-USM propagator is a...master thesis 2017

Stijnman, Peter (author)Electrical properties tomography is the quantification of the conductivity and permittivity of different materials. In an MRI setting this can be used to map the electrical properties of tissue. These values can be used as a different contrast mechanism, for hyperthermia treatment or the improvement of antenna design for specific applications....master thesis 2017

Galnares de la Garza, F.O. (author)In this work, gas phase toluene was degraded as model contaminant in an annular LED-based photocatalytic reactor under various light irradiance and illumination modes as a means to enhance the efficiency in illumination. The effect of controlled periodic illumination was first studied by exploring the effect of the duty cycle and the period and...master thesis 2017

van der Hoeven, Jelmer (author), Coesoij, Richard (author)The Zebro is a six legged autonomous robot, designed to be deployed in swarms. Charging the battery is still done manually. To further increase the autonomous abilities of the Zebro, a wireless charging station and module is designed. The charging station is fully modular and interconnected by charging pads. This opens the possibility of...bachelor thesis 2017

kunst, David (author)Areas are getting more and more populated causing new infrastructure lines to be constructed below the surface. A bored tunnel is one of the possibilities to create this subsurface infrastructure, but the construction process of a bored tunnel is a complicated one. Many loads and aspects are present in this construction process that can be...master thesis 2017

Merino Madrid, Cristian (author)Prediction of emissions from combustion systems is a complex problem involving the coupling between the flow field and chemistry. CFD analysis is the most commonly employed approach. However, it has the drawback that a very high computational cost prevents the use of detailed chemistry models. This master thesis, which focuses on NOx emissions,...master thesis 2017
