Influential stimuli characteristics on SNR in SSVEP-based interfaces: Thesis report: researching different aspects that influence the SNR in SSVEP-based interfaces

Different paradigms can be used to evoke brainwaves. These brainwaves can be interpreted as commands that can be used to control different applications. These frameworks that interpret the brainwaves are called brain-computer interfaces. Steady-state visually evoked potentials is one of these paradigms that uses external stimuli flickering at...

Stopping pattern and frequency optimization for multiple transport services

In my thesis, I have done research into the optimization of stopping patterns and frequencies of public transport services within a network. I have developed a model that takes both passenger and operator costs into account. The model has been run for a small fictional network and for the metro and train network of Amsterdam, to explore how the...

Evaluation of frequency and transient stability indicators in future power systems with high levels of wind power generation

This master thesis analyses different ways to perform assessment in frequency and transient (rotor-angle) stability when high penetration of renewables exists in the grid, based on researches done in the academic world and in industries. The goal of this research focuses on assess the distance to frequency and transient instability in power...

Seamless transitions of multiple micro-grids between the backbone interconnected and the islanded operational modes

The traditional power system has been undergoing fundamental changes during the latest years. The developments in the field of renewable energy sources, as well as in the power electronics industry, acted as drivers aiding the establishment of micro-grids. Nowadays, power production is becoming more and more decentralized, therefore loads and...

Erasing Borders, European Rail Passenger Potential

This thesis is assessing the potential of the European rail passenger market with a 4 step model, with a gravity based trip distribution and assessment of level of service characteristics to determine total potential in demand and supply commissioned by Train2EU and Royal HaskoningDHV. The scope has been limited to long-distance (>100km) trips....

The Electrical Network Frequency Criterion: Determining The Time And Location Of Digital Recordings

The topic of this thesis is the Electrical Network Frequency (ENF) Criterion as a method to determine both the time of recording and the location of an audio file when no or corrupted meta-data is available. This may be possible when the recording equipment is mains powered or when it is situated in electromagnetic field of the power grid. Then...

The effect of sloshing in partially filled spherical LNG tanks on ship motions

This report describes two methods to analyse the effect of sloshing on ship motions. The first method applies linear potential theory on both the barge and the internal tanks. For the barge the radiation, diffraction and incoming wave potentials are solved. For the internal tanks only the radiation potential is calculated, as there are obviously...

Acoustical Monitoring of Model System for Vascular Access in Haemodialysis

Stenosis is the main reason of the failure of a vascular access in haemodialysis. Its presence engenders an increase of the morbidity and an increase of the hospitalization for hemodialysed patients and its early detection consists thus in an important issue. Digital phonoangiography or digital acoustical analysis is an alternative to the...
