Rip, J. (author)A marine operations encounters downtime if its operational limit is exceeded during project execution. Accurate information about the expected downtime during a marine project is important information in the tender phase of such a project. The purpose of this thesis is therefore to give insight in the available methods for downtime analysis in...master thesis 2015

Kouroutzis, S. (author)Ship accidents are caused daily others not so important with only scratches on the ship hulls and others are fatal for human life and also the environment. Some of the accidents are caused due to human error, but many are generated due to extreme conditions and to the minimized capabilities of the ships' designs. Ships seem to be underpowered in...master thesis 2015

Van Rhijn, R.A. (author)Container terminals are important nodes in the worldwide supply chain. The planning of the daily operations of a container terminal is a complex task and sub optimal decisions can be made due to interconnected sub processes, interrelated decisions, time and uncertainty. If suboptimal planning decisions are made in the planning, consequences will...master thesis 2015

Van den Brand, S. (author)The Gadani Energy Park is a to-be build project in which ten coal-fired power plants are established at one location near the shore of Karachi, Pakistan. In the initial situation, all power plants manage their own on-shore operations. The objective of this study is to gain insight in the advantages and disadvantages of yard collaboration in bulk...master thesis 2015

Swager, C.R. (author)Within electricity markets, serious concerns exist whether a competitive electricity market will provide the necessary incentives for investment in generation. In Europe several countries are looking at the options of implementing a capacity mechanism. A capacity market provides a possible solution to this problem of generation adequacy but the...master thesis 2014

Ragnarsdottir, K.L. (author)To allow for efficient and robust gait pattern, humans instantaneously modulate their joint impedance. Lower-limb amputees and patients suffering from neurological diseases partly lack that ability. Therefore, prosthetic and rehabilitative devices have been designed to re- store and repair nominal locomotion. For bio-inspired control of these...master thesis 2014

Piccoli, C. (author)The assessment of port marine operations performance by means of simulation is treated in this master thesis project. The navigational services provided to vessel at the access channels, from their arrival to the berthing operations and from unberthing to vessels departure, are investigated and evaluated. In the case study, FlexSim is used as...master thesis 2014

Hofmann, J.A. (author)The ability to simulate brain neurons in real-time using biophysically-meaningful models is a critical pre-requisite grasping human brain behavior. By simulating neurons' behavior, it is possible, for example, to reduce the need for in-vivo experimentation, to improve artificial intelligence and to replace damaged brain parts in patients. A...master thesis 2014

Hoogslag, J.F. (author)Negotiations are an everyday phenomena, and yet the process is so complex, ill-structured and even chaotic that analysis becomes challenging. Consequently, we currently lack systematic understanding of the dynamics that govern negotiations concerning multiple issues with multiple participants who behave strategically. The objective of this...master thesis 2014

De Vries, N.A. (author)Around the railway station of Schiphol, railway traffic is controlled by an automated dynamic traffic management system (DVM). This system is not optimal for the future service pattern of NS and NS Hispeed. My research explores the possibilities of a new DVM by analysing different rescheduling elements by means of microsimulations in OpenTrack.master thesis 2014

Bos, J. (author)The Reinier de Graaf Hospital in Delft has concluded that care for frail elderly with impaired mobility is not always optimal. Due to multimorbidity, traditional monodisciplinary care is not the best possible care. The Reinier de Graaf Hospital set out to improve their care process to serve the frail elderly best. It was found that the target...master thesis 2014

Turi, D. (author)In recent years the study of complex systems gained prominence. Since it is usually difficult to use classical mathematic models to understand these systems, scientists and engineers have to resort to simulations. Currently programming languages like CUDA C and OpenCL are available to run large scale simulations on a GPU architecture....master thesis 2013

Rose, C.D. (author)IHC Metalix, a producer of machined steel kits for the shipbuilding industry, is currently in the process of improving production efficiency by modifying an existing crane as well as by installing two additional cranes, a pallet conveyor, and a pallet storage rack. The exact effects of these improvements on the production process have not been...master thesis 2013

De Jong, L.E. (author)The objective of this thesis project is to analyze the traffic behaviour that the Shared Space approach assumes to enforce in a traffic space designed according to its principles, and to determine the impact of this behaviour on traffic performance and safety, isolated from location-specific elements. This is done by means of a new conceptual...master thesis 2013

Bakolas, B.V.E. (author)Electric vehicles only become useful in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, if the electricity used to charge their batteries comes from renewable energy sources. This thesis was conducted within the electric mobility framework of the Green Village, the project put forward to test the Green Campus Concept. The objective was to design a Station...master thesis 2012

Rodriguez Rodriguez de Guzman, J. (author)Accurate timing analysis of digital integrated circuits is becoming harder to achieve with current and future CMOS technologies. The shrinking feature sizes lead to increasingly important local process variations (PV), making existing methods like corner-based static timing analysis (STA) yield overly pessimistic results. While industry faces...master thesis 2012

De Bruin, W.J. (author)Simulations carried out for low salinity water flooding often do not include geochemical processes. Salt concentration, and thus the salinity, is modelled as a water tracer that does not react with the reservoir formation. The goal of this MSc thesis is to improve the understanding of the influence of geochemical processes on the mixing of...master thesis 2012
