Privacy Protection and Performance Enhancement in IoT Applications using Blockchain and Machine Learning Techniques

The Internet of Things (IoT) is producing significant amounts of data. Protecting this data from adversaries is therefore a prominent field of research. This paper conducts a review of the current state-of-the-art in the field of IoT integrated with Blockchain (BC) and Machine Learning (ML). The review focuses on the use of privacy and...

Evaluating the effect of emotions on academic achievement in mathematics: A quantile regression and Bayesian quantile regression approach

Quantile regression is a useful method to analyse data such that the estimates are more robust to outliers and the conditional distributions are more reliable for asymmetric distributions with respect to the commonly used ordinary least squares regression. Besides this, the quantile regression analysis might also include extra information on the...

Characterisation of Transmon qubit chips

Quantum computing may be the key to solving many of the problems our modern world faces today. Just as regular computers boosted our computing power to scales never imagined before, so too could quantum computers allow us to solve problems that we just do not yet have the computational power for. However, a properly functioning quantum computer...

TelaSol: A Coach Cockpit Application

Team Sunweb, a professional cycling team and our client, is constantly looking for innovations to help them win races. They tasked us with creating an application which could assist coaches with determining the strategy during a race. This application, which we dubbed TelaSol, is supposed to run on a tablet that is mounted on the dashboard...

Beamlet and energy layer reduction in IMPT by sparsity induced optimisation

In Intensity Modified Proton Therapy, the number of energy layers and the number of beamlets determine the radiation time and the plan calculation time. The purpose of this research project is to test sparsity inducing terms to reduce both the energy layers and the beamlets.

Extending Honeytrap with Lua scripting: Honeytrap LUA implementation

This report describes the process, motivation and design choices made during the Bachelor End Project in collaboration with DutchSec. The project consists of implementing Lua-scripting into Honeytrap, which is programmed in Go. The following chapters will discuss which design choices were made, how the research was performed and how the final...

First steps in DC homegrid power management

A demonstration setup of the Tesla Powerwall has been installed by Eneco at the department of DCE&S at the TU Delft. This setup is used to investigate the functionalities of the Tesla Powerwall. As research is being done about transforming AC homegrids towards DC homegrids, it would be interesting to investigate how the Tesla Powerwall would...

Projectteam Zebro onboard navigation system: Part 1

This document describes the design process towards a functional Onboard Navigation System board, and the onboard communication with other modules in the Zebro Explorer. Furthermore the design process of the communication outside the Zebro consisting of a graphical user interface and the wireless communication is described.

Analysis of coupled grid methods for solving convection-diffusion equations

The error behavior of finite difference discretization schemes has been researched. Starting from the onedimensional case, where two particles of a fluidized bed were taken, the diffusion equation was numerically solved on a single grid as reference. Then the diffusion equation, a model equation for the real problem, was solved on a separated...

Analyser for technical analysis indicators using historical intraday values

Technical analysis is widely used among traders, financial professionals and financial institution as a tool to identify trading opportunities. However, the academic world does not share this point of view, since they claim the evidence to promote the usability of technical analysis is sparse and inconsistent. Noticing this impasse we decided...

Geoptimaliseerde Chaos

Hoewel James Yorke niet de eerste was die het verschijnsel wat we nu kennen als chaos waarnam, was hij wel degene die het de naam chaos gaf. Yorke kreeg in 1972 het artikel "De- terministic Nonperiodic ow"van een collega. In dit stuk beschreef de meteoroloog Edward Lorenz een simpel systeem van vergelijkingen, gebaseerd op vloeistof dynamica met...

Designing for TARA: The radar control unit

This thesis describes the work done on a control system for the Transportable Atmospheric RAdar (TARA), which is located at the Cabauw Experimental Site for Atmosperic Research (CESAR). It describes the way in which this radar control unit was implemented within the TARA, by making use of a high-level programming language. The control unit...
