KleinJan, J.G. (author)Ultra-compact is a valuable property in designs of assistive devices for people with Duchenne Muscle Dystrophy. Reducing the size of these medical devices will increase the cosmetic appearance. Current devices are large and stigmatizing in the eyes of the users. In other words, the users want a device to be small enough to be worn underneath the...master thesis 2013

Gezgin, Kagan (author)The Dutch government has issued a legislation that follows the Paris Agreement of 2016. This legislation means that all office buildings in 2023 must have minimum energy label C while the ambition in 2030 is to have energy label A and in 2050 zero energy buildings. It is estimated that currently more than half of the office buildings in the...master thesis 2018

Huijzer, Leonard (author)The Wanda software package developed by Deltares can used for simulating both steady state and transient fluid flow in pipeline systems. Steady state simulations are used for initial system design and transient flow simulations are used for doing water hammer analysis in pipeline systems. For both types of simulations a system consisting of both...master thesis 2018

de Caires, Alexander (author)This research paper was conceived having been introduced to performance art, becoming absorbed by it and believing in it’s potential for the architectural discipline. I saw the work of performance artists from the 50’s 60’s and 70’s as engaging in conceptual work which challenged ideas of the art object and process in the nowness of their events...master thesis 2019

Stubbs, Robby (author)Informal actors possess a practical knowledge of the city, a sort of ‘secret know-how’, of how to move and operate in an environment that is unwelcoming to them. How could this knowledge be used as a tool or input of urban design? By considering the knowledge and ways of operating of the informal actors in a city, the following research has...master thesis 2019

Thomas, A. (author)IWEX stands for Invers Wavefield Extrapolation and is commonly used in seismic exploration. Niels Pörtzgen[15] showed that this technique can also be used for inspection of welds. This thesis describes two domains in which the IWEX algorithm can be calculated. The time domain which has a quantization problem and the frequency domain which is...master thesis 2009

de Wachter, A. (author)Ram-air wings form an ever increasing market of soft fabric, air inflated wings. They are primairily used in air sports such as parachuting, paragliding and kiting. Ram-air kites may also be used for electric power generation by letting the kite pull a cable from a drum that is connected to a generator. An example if this principle is the...master thesis 2008

Van den Berg, A.H.W.F. (author), Verkooijen, A.H.M. (author)Large-scale coal-fired power plants are typically designed as base-load units. This means that they are traditionally run at continuous high loading levels, most often full-load. The current energy market asks for more flexibility as renewable energy sources continue to penetrate the energy market. Coal-fired power plants are forced to operate...master thesis 2015

Van Kersbergen, D.J. (author)The main aim of the research is to passively use the on-site energy to create passive climate comfort. Usually this these passive strategies are not integrated into the design process but added to the building design later on when the building design is already finalized. The main topic of this building technology research is to integrate...master thesis 2011
