Factors in the behaviour of mathematics teachers that influence math anxiety amongst high school students

This study examines which factors in the behaviour of math teachers in their contact with high school students contribute to the developing, worsening or alleviating of math anxiety during mathematics activities. <br/>The study was conducted in the form of a survey involving $888$ high school students during their math lesson. The survey...

Knowledge in Building with Nature pilot projects: A Case Study of the Sand Engine

In this research, the creation, use and spread of knowledge acquired in Building with Nature pilot projects is researched, with the goal of providing recommendations to improve this use and spread in future Building with Nature pilot projects. To achieve this, a case study with the Sand Engine as the subject is performed. In addition to this, a...

The Grothendieck property of Weak Lp spaces and Marcinkiewicz spaces

In this master thesis the proof of Lotz that Weak Lp spaces have the Grothendieck property is studied. The proof is slightly modified to be more explicit and easier to comprehend by introducing lemma’s to better separate different parts of the proof that more clearly reveal its structure. Furthermore, the more general Marcinkiewicz spaces are...

Dynamic Substructuring for Efficient Vibrational Studies in Buildings

As a reaction to urban densication, light weight building is an attractive concept for optimally utilizing the capacity of the existing built environment. A common issue paired with light weight construction is the need to engage in vibrational design, in order to minimize hindrance due to human activities such as walking, that cause vibrations...

Explore Pole Vaulting Strategies by control optimization: A biomechanical model based exploration

The development of the pole vaulting record is only improved by 1 centimeter over the last 25 years. Multiple studies show signs of different control strategies in elite pole vaulters, without pointing out what the cause of the differences is The aim of this research is to explore pole vaulting strategies by a control torque optimization. The...

Definition and Response Validation of a Simplified Aero-Servo-Elastic Wind Turbine Model

Currently, the foundation design of offshore wind turbines is based on a simple cantilever beam model with a mass representing the rotor and nacelle, or by making use of wind turbine simulation software such as Bladed, which are built for rotor design. The simple models are unrealistic since the dynamic interaction between the aerodynamic loads,...

The effect of initial concentration on the consolidation behaviour of mud: A study on lake Markermeer sediment

Land reclamations in deltaric areas provide space to meet the demand for a safe place to live and work. Sand, a traditional filling material in some locations is becoming scarcer. An alternative filling material is mud. Mud consists of clay, silt, sand, organic material, water and gas. Therefore, it is a versatile material and difficult to...
