One of the current trends in the aviation world is to work towards an increasingly more computer-aided approach to flying. Despite the improvements, limitations still inevitably exist in terms of power and storage capabilities in the aircraft avionics. To overcome this problem, different solutions have been proposed. A data-driven approach is...

This research paper focuses on improving the performance of cross-docking operations under uncertainty in the context of e-commerce logistics. The growth of e-commerce sales has increased product returns and complexity to supply chains. To address this issue, this study investigates how cross-docking operations can be improved under external and...

The pressure on healthcare systems is increasing all over the world. With an ageing world population, the costs for healthcare and the shortages in medical staff are continually increasing. In the Netherlands, out-of-hours general practitioner departments, or ‘huisartsenposten’, suffer from this increasing pressure in their telephone triage...

Ongoing sea level rise combined with significant levels of land subsidence cause the everlasting need for reinforcements of the current coastal protection measures to ensure a certain level of coastal safety. Developing countries in the Asian regions tend to suffer from even more severe levels of land subsidence and often lack the financial...

The increase of ship traffic flow, densities, ship size, and the uncertainty from technological advancement raise issues in traffic safety and efficiency. In order to tackle the issue, currently, a simulation model is widely used by various users as the port authority and bridge team and for research and development team. Since the issues are...

Personality modeling is important in order to create character variation in<br/>games. Character variation favors replayability and is an important aspect<br/>of game design. The eect of articial personalities through the expression of<br/>emotions is evaluated in this research. To do so, a prototype game is developed<br/>in the context of...

Smart charging offers the potential for electric vehicles to use renewable energy more efficiently, lowering costs and improving the stability of the electricity grid. Many computer models have been developed to simulate the behavior of smart charging. Yet these models often assume that future information is known perfectly, including when...

Copper-based fungicides (CuFs) are used in vineyards and fruit-farms as a preventive form of pathogen control. These have a fungicidal impact against mildew infections (Plasmopara viticola) and other fungi that attack grapevines causing poor plant development, fruit rot, and ultimately, poor wine production. If applied annually in large...

This study approached migration-related problems from a global perspective. The inter- connected nature of migration means that migration problems accumulate and intensify throughout the world. To capture these effects, a data-rich model component was devel- oped for global migration dynamics.<br/>To that extent, this study has developed the...

Coherent responses to wicked problems such as climate change require a new way of doing science and tools to give insight into the transformation of large-scale socio-technical systems. Simulation models support transformative processes by offering a simplified version of reality and a boundary object that unites stakeholders around a simplified...

From 2019 onwards, airline pilots will be required to follow stall training in simulators. A major open research question is which level of model fidelity is required for effective training. As part of an effort to answer this question, a stall model of a Cessna Citation II aircraft is developed from specifically-gathered flight test data. The...

Existing mathematical models for aerobic granular sludge have focused solely on lab-scale reactors. In this study, an effort was made to adapt these models to simulate the processes of full-scale installations. The model is the first aerobic granular sludge model to use transient radial diffusion and multiple granule fractions. Aerobic and...

A new type of polymeric artificial muscle was recently discovered. This muscle is based on twisted and coiled polymer fiber and is actuated thermally. It has interesting properties, such as low costs and high work densities. Based on fabrication methods, two variations can be considered. The autocoiled variation has a larger load capacity and...

The Oscillatory Flow Baffled Crystallizer (OFBC) design has been proven to offer improved temperature control and near plug plow residence time distributions, while at the same time providing large residence times. These OFBC properties hold the promise of resulting in a narrow crystal size distribution, reduced residence time requirements and...

The recently introduced Linkage Tree Genetic Algorithm (LTGA) has shown to exhibit excellent scalability on a variety of optimization problems. LTGA employs Linkage Trees (LTs) to identify and exploit linkage information between problem variables. In this work we present two parallel implementations of LTGA that enable us to leverage the...

The purpose of this MSc thesis is to find a feasible concept for a circa 4500 m long buoyancy bridge, which is located at the Sognefjord in Norway. The concept should be structurally and aesthetically competitive. In contrast to bridges on shore with fixed supports, a buoyancy bridge is supported on floating pontoons. As result, loads will cause...

In the high-tech industry the call for higher precision and higher accuracy will never vanish. One of the aspects that influences precision and accuracy is transportation. To transport an object contact is needed. Stigmatically thinking, contact means having a mechanical connection between the transporter and the object to transport. However, if...

This study focuses on solving steady state fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems subjected to incompressible flow at low Reynolds numbers and linear elastic structural behavior. The fluid-structure interface geometry is described with a levelset method (LSM). The governing equations are discretized in space with the eXtended Finite Element...
