Voß, Nico (author)Quad-planes combine hovering and vertical takeoff and landing capability with fast and efficient forward flight. Regular Quad-planes with dedicated pusher motor can be subject to gust disturbances, and are not well-equipped to deal with actuator faults. Dual-axis Tilt-Rotor quad-planes are more maneuverable due to their overactuation. This also...master thesis 2024

Tang, Jiayi (author)Synthetic tabular data generated by tabular generative models represent an effective means of augmenting and sharing data. It is of paramount importance to trace and audit such synthetic data, avoiding potential harms and risks associated with inappropriate usage. While watermarking techniques are increasingly used for synthetic images, little...master thesis 2024

Taets van Amerongen, Charlotte (author)The aviation sector, responsible for approximately 2% of global anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, is projected to grow 4-6 times by 2050, conflicting with the European Union’s Green Deal target of achieving net-zero emissions by the same year. While aircraft electrification offers a promising solution, its application is largely limited to...master thesis 2024

van den Berg, Jens (author)Decision-making in professional fields has made a stark transition away from utility as the comparative metric in neoclassical economic frameworks. The result of which means a step towards the use of non-equatable variables for calculating the comparability between material, energy, and fiscal costs. While the traditional methods have their...master thesis 2024

van Dijk, Floris (author)Over the past decades, the majority of research into coastal development has been carried out with a focus on open-sea beaches. However, sheltered beaches make up a larger part of the coastlines in the world. Recent studies have shown that the system of sheltered beaches cannot be approached as an open-sea beach with a lower wave energy climate....master thesis 2024

Mithaiwala, Hiteshree (author)In developing countries with increased industrialization, much research is carried out in order to recover the maximum ammonium from the environment. One of the methods to recover ammonium is Bipolar Membrane Electrodialysis (BPMED), a chemical-free technology that enables recovery and purification of the corresponding acid and base by the...master thesis 2024

Zegeling, Jesse (author)In the upcoming years more train passengers are expected and with more trains on the tracks railway systems require greater resilience. Switches can play a major role during disruptions as they enable trains to be rerouted onto other tracks, allowing them to bypass the disruption but switches also facilitate overtaking, meet-pass operations at...master thesis 2024

Scheepmaker, Thomas (author)In this thesis, a predictive non-intrusive reduced order model of a high-temperature gas-cooled reactor has been created. We first set out to create a representative multi-physics model coupling the neutronics and thermodynamics in the HTGR. To this end we first made a representative model of neutronics and thermodynamics separately in the HTGR....master thesis 2024
