Koel, Lars (author)A Helically wrapped structure is a hollow pipe structure that is made from a metal strip and the overlapping interfaces are adhesively joined. It is yet unknown how to determine the quasi-static strength and predict the fatigue life of this structure. A method was developed to determine whether either the adherend or the adhesive is critical to...master thesis 2023

Chen, Wen-Yu (author)Transport decision-making determines people’s level of accessibility and deeply influences an individual’s access to social and economic opportunities and the quality of life. Socially vulnerable populations are highly dependent on yet often more likely to have less access to transport services and experience lower accessibility. This creates...master thesis 2023

Mastouri, Marouane (author)This thesis aimed to investigate the potential of the EU’s carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM) to promote sustainable adjustments in the production process of semiconductor machines, considering uncertainties in carbon accounting. The research combines a review of existing literature, a case study analysis of a selected semiconductor...master thesis 2023

Brabander, Jesper (author)Automation within an industrial sector has now for years been an obvious factor. Everywhere mechanical instruments and sensors are implemented for fast and precise processes. The agricultural sector is some steps behind in relation to other sectors. Reason being that there are many irregularities which in other sectors have been made into...master thesis 2023

Slebioda, Marek (author)Offshore wind turbines have seen a significant increase in size over the past decades. A critical consequence of this increase in size is a substantial increase in the torque transferred from the wind turbine rotor. This leads to the necessity of larger and heavier drivetrains to adhere to structural failure requirements and subsequently to...master thesis 2023

Spek, Deanne (author)The national and international healthcare systems are in a transition. The healthcare problems of the future ask for doctors who can deal with complex challenges, connect to their patients, support societal health, have skills for lifelong learning, and take care of themselves (Lemmens et al., 2019; Nooteboom et al., 2020; World Health...master thesis 2023

Rodewijk, Koen (author)Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most commonly occurring arrhythmia in clinical practice and can have a significant impact on the current and future wellbeing of the patient. By placing an unipolar sensor array directly on the epicardium during an open-heart surgery to measure the electrical activity of the atrium, more insight about this disease...master thesis 2023

Mur Uribe, Pol (author)This thesis introduces a new method, called Mixed Iteration, for controlling Markov Decision Processes when partial information is known about the dynamics of the Markov Decision Process. The algorithm uses sampling to calculate the expectation of partially known dynamics in stochastic environments. Its goal is to lower the number of iterations...master thesis 2023

Lemaire, Chris (author)For algebraic effects and handlers, we know both small-step and big-step operational semantics and we are familiar with denotational semantics. But, what is missing is a structured showing that one is equivalent to the other. On top of this, most efficient implementations of algebraic effects and handlers closely resemble their denotational...master thesis 2023

Kanis, Job (author)The introduction of cloud hosting has made it possible to elastically provision distributed stream processing systems (SPEs). By dynamically scaling the different operators of the system, resource consumption can be minimised while meeting the system service-level objectives. In the literature, many different auto-scaling techniques are proposed...master thesis 2023

Paranjape, Aniruddha (author)As the world grapples with the challenges of global warming, there has been a significant push for the development of new methods of harnessing renewable energy. Energy harvesters have been a new avenue to generate electrical power locally for remote applications. An energy harvester is a device that taps into aeroelastic phenomena to convert...master thesis 2023

WANG, Junjie (author)AC-coupled amplifiers (ACCA) offer lower noise than traditional resistor feedback amplifiers, which benefits signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for audio applications. Due to the DC isolation of the capacitor, a feedback resistor is needed to set the virtual ground of ACCA’s amplifier. However, an external feedback resistor raises system noise and...master thesis 2023

Schouten, Janno (author)Patients who are admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) are extremely ill and at high risk of organ failure and death. Being admitted to the ICU is known to cause long lasting physical, cognitive, and physiological symptoms, which is called Post-Intensive Care syndrome (PICS). To provide better management of PICS, early recognition and...master thesis 2023

van den Heuvel, Gaia (author)Children with cerebral palsy (CP) commonly have bony deformities of the foot, which lead to pain and gait problems. One of the causes of such a deformity is an imbalance in muscle forces around the foot. In turn, the bony deformity can also alter muscle function, due to, for example, altered muscle moment arm lengths. In this study, the altered...master thesis 2023
