LooS: co-producing youth mental healthcare

The increasing waiting times in youth mental health care pose a significant challenge, driven by a shortage of specialists and external factors that complicate diagnosis and prolong treatment. Shoshin, a multidisciplinary strategic design and innovation agency, has developed a solution known as the Fit Op Weg Poli (FOWP) to address this issue...

Pile foundations in the Netherlands: an analysis of the 4D/8D method through numerical modelling

TheNetherlands is a densely populated country and is located in an areawhere the shallowsubsurfacemainly consists ofHolocene and Pleistocene soils. To build permanent structures, enough bearing capacity is needed to provide sufficient support for these structures. However, Holocene (soft) soils typically do not provide sufficient support. In the...

The design of an Attitude Control System for the SPS-2 satellite: For the Rate Damping, Sun Acquisition and Sun Pointing Modes

This thesis covers the design of the Attitude Control System for the SPS-2 configuration, developed at Airbus Defense and Space the Netherlands. The start of the SPS-2 mission consists of three phases: rate damping, Sun Acquisition and Sun Pointing. The SPS-2 satellite has five available mounting places for different payloads. In the first part...

Improving the energy efficiency, emissions and maintenance costs of a deepwater DP-3 drillship by implementing an energy storage system in the energy distribution system

Deepwater drillships are nowadays capable of drilling to oil in water depths up to 4000m and reservoirs at 12000 m depth and greater. Active Heave Compensation at these large drilling depths and station keeping with the Dynamic Positioning system leads to large fluctuations in the electrical power system. The electrical power is now directly...

Lifting Gantries: A Study On The Structural Behaviour & Design Method

Several topics related to lifting gantries have been studied. These are the modelling of the structure, the structural behaviour of the gantry, the input parameters of the model and the standards used for the design. A hand calculation model, based on the analysis of built-up compression members in EN 1993-1-1, has been developed that describes...

The wasted Disposables in Dutch Hospital’s health care pathways

The Dutch health care system is a large drain on the Dutch national budget. With the Dutch hospitals costing 20 billion euros yearly. Six billion euros, of the total 20 billion euros are spend on goods and materials. If a part of these goods are wasted within the health care system, the costs of this system could be reduced by reducing this...

Functional Out-of-Home Eating: 'Towards product concepts to support people in making healthy food choices in the out-of-home context'

Food consumed outside of our home is an increasingly important part of our diet. Every day around 4 million Dutch consumers eat one or more main meals outside the household premises. More than half of these meals are not consumed when eating out of our home in a traditional way, e.g. at a full-service restaurant, but are what is called...

Design of an Offshore LNG Import Terminal

Natural gas (NG) is a hydrocarbon mixture consisting primarily of methane and ethane, both of which are gaseous under atmospheric conditions. After processing, the gas is cooled and converted to liquid at -162° C (LNG) to be transported by insulated tankers. At its destination, the LNG import terminal, the LNG is transferred from the moored ship...
