de Groot, Patrick (author)Current service and installation activities for offshore wind turbines are carried out by jack-up vessels, which eliminate wave disturbances to a large extent. The use of these vessels imposes several disadvantages, including high operational costs and the limitation of operating in restricted water depths. An alternative is a crane mounted on a...master thesis 2024

de Groot, Sabine (author)Myopia is an eye disease that begins to develop at a young age, approximately between the ages of six and nine years. Children these ages spend a large amount of time inside school buildings. Two case studies have been studied to see what can be improved in school building design to get more light inside. Light measurements have been done to see...master thesis 2023

de Groot, Dimme (author)The work presented in this thesis investigates the creation of virtual sound sources in a room equipped with a limited number of loudspeakers. This limited number of loudspeakers is typical for consumer loudspeaker systems. Ideally, these systems can provide a listening experience in which localisation cues are completely present. However, in...master thesis 2023

de Groot, Tim (author)Preventive measures for a healthy population are becoming a trending topic in the Netherlands because of rising costs of care and an increasing population of elderly. Due to this, prevention methods in the built environment can help with minimising this problem. Urban area developments are ways for improving or developing new built environments....master thesis 2023

de Groot, Laura (author)As more smart city technologies are being developed, more attention should be directed on how to include citizens to align such technology with public values and facilitate contestability. This involvement can take place during different phases. To ensure the legitimacy of a machine vision system, citizens should be involved to discuss when a...master thesis 2023

de Groot, Luce (author)This study answerd the research question, What is needed to enable design students, particularly at the Industrial Design Engineering (IDE) faculty in Delft, without prior experience in Life Cycle Assessment to effectively incorporate the fundamentals of the LCA method into their design practices? Through empirical research (interviews and...master thesis 2023

de Groot, Jelle (author)With the rising demand for renewable energy sources the amount of wind turbines which are built on land are growing rapidly. Because of the repetitive nature of the foundation small design improvements can add up to large savings in material usage and building cost. The most critical part of the foundation is the connection between the metal...master thesis 2022

de Groot, Chiel (author)This thesis investigates the tissue sparing effect of FLASH (>40 Gy/s) radiation, as opposed to CONV (conventional, dose rates typically between 0.010.1 Gy/s) radiation. We irradiated zebrafish embryos (4 days past fertilisation) with 116 MeV protons. The aim was (1) to measure the effect, and (2) if the effect were significant, see whether...master thesis 2022

de Groot, Lucan (author)Visible Light Communication (VLC) has been gaining interest in the industry and academia for the last decade. VLC enables a high-speed communication alternative to conventional radio such as Bluetooth or WiFi and presents a solution to the 'spectrum crunch'. More recently, the combination of energy harvesting and VLC has been explored to enable...master thesis 2022

de Groot, Roy (author)Eleven out of twelve startups still fail (Startup Genome, 2019). Even though startups are a growing breed of companies. From 2016 to 2018, startups created $2.8 trillion in value, which is more than the annual GDP of the United Kingdom. In the same period, growth was at 20,6% increase from the preceding periods. Even though startups are growing...master thesis 2021

de Groot, Robbie (author)Last-mile delivery robots intended to operate on the sidewalk still require supervision because they are only semi-autonomous. If left to their own devices, they tend to cause undesired interactions. Our project proposes a design philosophy that can reduce the amount and severity of these interactions, improving the overall acceptance of...master thesis 2021

de Groot, Patty (author)Patients who suffer from Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, have to live with hand impairments for over 15 years. This significantly influences their ability to live independently. Currently, static splinting interspersed with stretching of the hand is the course of treatment for this patient group and developed active hand orthoses focus mainly on...master thesis 2021

de Groot, Frans (author)Although e-groceries is nothing new, the scale at which it is currently growing in the Netherlands has not been seen before. Over the past four years, the market share of online grocery shopping showed an average growth of over 20% per year. While it was already challenging to keep up with this high demand, it became increasingly more difficult...master thesis 2021

de Groot, Suzanne (author)Rivers provide many of our day-to-day needs. They allow, for instance, the production of drinking water and the movement of goods via inland waterways. However, river systems experience disturbances, such as droughts and pollution plumes. These disturbances can impair the functioning of river systems and their ability to provide the desired...master thesis 2020

de Groot, Marcel (author)Urban planners and decision-makers face several challenges in keeping cities liveable. Getting a well-working urban freight system is one of these underexposed challenges, where there is still a lack of knowledge and awareness among them. Current freight policies are insufficient to tackle the increasing negative externalities due to lack of...master thesis 2020

de Groot, Marleen (author)Historically, cities have played a major role in integrating newcomers into society. And in turn, many cities- including Amsterdam- have been shaped by migration. The conditions in neighborhoods in which many newcomers currently arrive do not offer the same flexibility. The graduation project proposes a strategy for the creation of inclusive...master thesis 2020

de Groot, Oscar (author)In this work we consider the problem of cooperative formation control between heterogeneous agents when time-varying delays and/or packet loss are present. Specifically, we introduce a control law for nonlinear fully actuated mechanical agents that separates the cooperative coordinates from the local coordinates, which removes the necessity for...master thesis 2019
