Architecture for the re-socialization of forensic psychiatric care: Building for the insane criminal

Architecture for forensic psychiatric care is about the fitted architecture for a specific target group which is in need of security AND a treatment environment. The research, partly literature, partly design, is focused on finding the best environment for these patients. The contracts between being locked down and feeling at home plays a...

MySeat: Development of a user focused aircraft seat

This master thesis shows the research and development of a user focused aircraft seat. The project is done in collaboration with Zodiac Seats US, an aircraft seats manufacturer. Contrary to the traditional technological approach used in the aircraft industry, this project has its focus mainly on the experiences of passengers during long haul...

Archipunctuur, een nieuwe impuls voor portieketage en het 'Van Eesterenmuseum'

Research on the ‘Van Eesterenmuseum’ in Amsterdam Nieuw-West. The research gives an inside why this area is protected and called ‘museum’ and focuses on the existing strong and weak qualities of this protected post-war area. This qualities are the base for the design interventions which are named ‘Archipunctuur’ and consist of two types of...

GonioTrainer for sport

De GonioTrainer is een systeem dat mensen helpt om een beter inzicht te krijgen in hun bewegingen. Het bestaat uit een sensor module en een feedback module die beide op het lichaam worden bevestigd. Ze worden draadloos uitgelezen en aangestuurd door een smartphone. Er is gekozen voor een Bluetooth Low Energy verbinding tussen de modules en en...

League Of Lasers

This report describes the development of a superhuman sports multiplayer game that makes use of augmented reality through the HoloLens. The game is a reenvisioning of the original League of Lasers, a pong/football-esque game for Android phones using camera tracking and special headgear for player positioning. The game was specifically redesigned...

Dit rapport is geschreven in het kader van de tweede fase van het vak ’Bachelor-eindproject’ van de bacheloropleiding Technische Bestuurskunde aan de Technische Universiteit Delft. Het rapport is geschreven naar aanleiding van het issue-paper dat ik voor de eerste fase van dit project geschreven heb over het bestrijden van financiële,...

FlexHH: A flexible hardware library for Hodgkin-Huxley-based neural simulations

In the field of computational neuroscience, complex mathematical models are used to replicate brain behavior with the goal of understanding the biological processes involved. The simulation of such models are computationally expensive and therefore, in recent years, high-performance computing systems have been identified as a possible solution...

The prospects for heat: Urban heat modelling as a means for a sustainable and equitable heat transition in the historic centre of Amsterdam

The city of Amsterdam aims to supply buildings in the historic centre of Amsterdam with sustainable, reliable, and affordable heat for space heating. However, currently only hight temperature heat from biomass and waste incinerators can generate sufficient heat to supply this area. This solution does not lead to reducing the carbon emission...

Improved current matching in all-silicon triple-junction solar cells for wireless photoelectrochemical devices

In a future energy system, chemical energy carriers that can easily be stored, like hydrogen, are of vital importance. One possible way of producing carbonneutral hydrogen is by direct solar to hydrogen conversion in a photoelectrochemical cell (PEC). Silicon based multijunction solar cells are a possible candidate for the photovoltaic stack of...

An aerodynamic analysis of Hyperloop breach using a scaled physical test setup and background oriented schlieren

This master thesis investigates the aerodynamic response of the Hyperloop breach failure scenario. Using a scaled physical test setup, the air pressure inside a Hyperloop tube is lowered to 10 mbar, emulating Hyperloop conditions. By opening a breach hole inside the tube, air will flow into the tube due to the pressure difference with the...

An Adjustable Force Limiting And Sensing Mechanism For Laparoscopic Forceps Graspers

In laparoscopic surgery, surgeons may cause damage to internal tissues due excessive pinch forces while using laparoscopic forceps graspers. Low mechanical efficiency, poor haptic feedback and visual perception errors causes surgeons to be unable to correctly asses pinch forces. In this study, a new force limiting device is designed according to...

Insights into the design of the two-phase deliver model in the design phase of infrastructure projects

Currently, the infrastructure industry is in transformation and moving towards new project delivery approaches. Aiming to improve the predictability of projects and due to a growing desire for collaboration between clients and contractors, the two-phase model has made its entrance in the industry and has been gaining popularity.<br/>During the...

Behind the Botnet: Evaluating Avalanche's security controls using a reconstruction of its anatomy from forensic evidence

How did Avalanche, a botnet with an active lifetime of 8 years while serving 20+ malware families, ensure a smooth operation of business? Avalanche had the attention of security researchers and law enforcement, yet it managed to persevere for a long period of time.<br/>In this work, we answer this question by analyzing Avalanche’s security...

Edible production potential of food forests in the temperate zone

Food forests have recently received an increasing amount of attention since they are seen as a possible addition to the Dutch nitrogen-sensitive agricultural sector. Food forests are claimed to positively affect local ecosystem services while producing food for human consumption. Most of the effects and the edible production, however, lack...
