van Leeuwen, Simon (author)All ships rely on many on board systems to reliably complete their missions (e.g. transporting containers, laying pipes or protecting the seas). However, for many of these ships, the detailed design of these systems is put off until the later stages of the design. For most ships, this will create no problems. However, for those complex vessels...master thesis 2017

Siccama, Joanne (author)Supercritical water gasification (SCWG) is a thermochemical conversion process in which wet biomass is converted into gaseous products as methane, carbon dioxide and hydrogen. For SCWG both the temperature and pressure of the medium are increased beyond the critical point of water (373.95⁰C and 220.64 bar). The supercritical water acts as an...master thesis 2017

Castillo Gonzalez, Hugo (author)Despite the fact of the outstanding efficiency of the perovskite-based devices, their current size is<br/>around a few square millimeters. The application of this thin-film technology in module scale requires<br/>an interconnection with optimal laser processing to create a channel for the photo current. In<br/>this project, the relation between...master thesis 2017

Stuurman, Pim (author)This thesis is about modelling citation performance using Bayesian networks (BN). As an approximation for citation performance, we will use the proportion of papers by an author that resulted in being one of the top 10% most cited papers. Using 15 predicting variables such as year of first publication and average number of authors per paper, we...master thesis 2017

Hordijk, Peter (author)A musculoskeletal model of the shoulder region, which uses kinematic data as an input an estimates muscle forces and joint loads as an output, can give valuable information on the pitching motion. This helps us to get more insight into the pitching motion and its biomechanical interactions and may also help in reducing the injury risk and...master thesis 2017

van Dijken, Franka (author)Topologische ruimten kunnen, ondanks dat ze wellicht compacte Hausdorff-ruimten zijn, heel andere eigenschappen hebben dan compacte metrische ruimten. In dit verslag wordt deze bewering toegelicht aan de hand van zes voorbeelden. Deze voorbeelden zijn ingedeeld in drie hoofdstukken: meetkundige voorbeelden, de Cech-Stone compactificatie van de...bachelor thesis 2017

Galvan Granat, Mirna (author)A research gap was found when addressing the literature on small-to-medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the construction industry. Subcontractors and suppliers are primarily SMEs and form the largest percentage of firms in comparison to large enterprises (LEs) in the industry. Many parties are mainly concerned with maximising their profit, reason...master thesis 2017
