Couwenberg, Ruben (author)The Internet of Things (IoT) consists out of billions of devices. This vast size magnifies the security and efficiency challenges the IoT faces. Blockchain (BC) features like decentralisation, immutability and smart contracts can negate these IoT challenges. <br/>In this paper we discuss how BC based solutions can significantly increase the...bachelor thesis 2023

Vader, Kevin (author)The housing market in the Netherlands faces two challenges which are the housing shortage and the climate crisis. Modular construction can help solve these challenges due to the many advantages that modular construction has over traditional construction. The advantages that are most related to solving these challenges are the reduced...master thesis 2022

PAPAEVANGELOU, ELENI (author)Refugee camps’ design raises unique challenges. The populations that move to exile, are exposed, and often traumatized. The period of an emergency can not be defined most of the times, as well as the funds are likely to be deficient, and the design must also operate under constraints of both an institutional and pragmatic nature. This imposes...student report 2021

van Rijn, Vincent (author)Virtualization is the fundamental technology that enabled the widespread adoption of cloud computing. With the ever-increasing pervasiveness of the cloud computing paradigm, strong isolation guarantees and low performance overhead from isolation platforms are paramount. An ideal isolation platform offers both: an infallible isolation boundary...master thesis 2021

Maričić, Marko (author)Despite its potential benefits of reduced traffic congestion and discounted trips, incorporating ride-pooling in a city comes with a set of challenges that require thorough analysis, optimisation, and planning. Even though, services like \textit{Uber} have existed in Amsterdam for over a decade, city wide ride-pooling has yet to be implemented....student report 2021

Haddou, Assia (author)The environmental impact of aviation is a well-known issue scientists all around the world are desperate to tackle. The population that can afford air travel is growing and this demand is likely to double within the next 20 years. This increasing demand comes at a hefty price: the emissions of greenhouse gases cause climate change and local air...master thesis 2021

Looijen, Timo (author)Javelin throwing in the winter is not fun when the temperature approaches zero degrees. That is way javelin throwers move indoors for training. The problem with training indoors it that there is no room to throw a javelin 80 meters, so a different type of training is used. The javelin fitted with a rubber tip is thrown into a net. This way, the...master thesis 2020

Cioli, Marco (author)Biogas production issues are generally connected with poor maintenance of the plant, characterised by the unavailability of a daily and regular feeding activity, inadequate cleaning and stirring system, and inefficient use of biogas. In addition, the overlooking of socio-cultural values can contribute to the expansion of performance issues since...master thesis 2019

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

Zijm, Peter (author)Heatpipes are promising devices for geothermal energy extraction owing to their<br/>effectiveness to transport heat. The goal of this research is to validate an analytical heatpipe model with experiments and to investigate the difficulties in designing and constructing geothermal heatpipes. There is a lack of literature and research concerning...master thesis 2019

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

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

Ai, H. (author)In mass storage systems or certain transmission channels, such as optical data storage and non-volatile memory (flash), noise or interference is not the only disturbance during the data transmission, the error performance sometimes can be seriously degraded by the phenomena of unknown channel offset (drift) or gain mismatch, this is because the...master thesis 2016

Mast, D.E. (author)We present the design and implementation of a general framework that enables implementation and performance comparison of Authenticated Data Structures (ADSs). The framework guarantees that an ADS supports initialization, updates, and verification of queries. In the framework, we implemented the hash tree, skip list, and state-of-the-art SeqHash...master thesis 2016

Wibbens, B.P. (author)In the early 2000’s, the field hockey stick faced a transition from wood towards composites. Since then, the trend is to produce stiffer sticks by applying more carbon fibre to reinforce the composite. With the use of composites, sticks became lighter and stiffer, resulting in hitting the ball harder. However, the stiffer stick reduced the...master thesis 2016
