Given the building sector's significant impact on energy consumption and CO2 emissions, there is a clear need for a sustainable solution. Here, smart building technologies are emerging as a promising response, as they offer the potential to improve operational efficiency while reducing environmental impact. However, the development of smart...

In recent years, Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) have become a standard in robotic control. However, a significant drawback of large-scale ANNs is their increased power consumption. This becomes a critical concern when designing autonomous aerial vehicles, given the stringent constraints on power and weight. Especially in the case of blimps,...

The real-life Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) is the problem in which a set of vehicles needs to perform a set of tasks such that we have a shortest total driving distance. Such problems can be solved using construction algorithms. Finding the best-performing construction algorithm is time-consuming because these algorithms consist of many...

Aqueous electrolytes are most commonly used for the CO<sub>2</sub> reduction reaction (CO<sub>2</sub>RR), but suffer from a low CO<sub>2</sub> solubility that limits the reaction. Electrochemical CO<sub>2</sub> reduction in nonaqueous electrolytes can provide a solution, due to the higher CO<sub>2</sub> solubility of organic solvent-based...

What would you think if your neighbour, who owns a Tesla and therefore causes extra load on the already congested electricity grid and you would have to pay these costs? Feels unfair, doesn’t it? This is currently happening in the Netherlands and it concerns millions of households that consume electricity. Electricity consumers are currently...

Logistics of hydrogen is one of the bottlenecks of a hydrogen economy. In this study, a pressure swing adsorption (PSA) system is proposed for the separation of hydrogen from natural gas, co-transported in the natural gas grid. The economic feasibility of hydrogen supplied by a PSA system at a refuelling station is assessed and compared with...

Decreasing injuries in football is a topic of interest for the KNVB and KNHB. To reach this goal, the use of smart sensor pants is researched. The data will be used to develop models for finding injury risk factors that are related to movements. Currently, the system is capable of reading out the IMUs and storing the data on an SD-card, for post...

Shallow aquifers in many Holocene alluvial basins around the world have in the last three decades been identified as arsenic pollution hotspots, in which the spatial variation of natural (or: geogenic) arsenic concentration is conditioned by the meandering-river geomorphology and the fluvial lithofacies distribution. Despite the large amount of...

This article presents a novel smart sensor garment with integrated miniaturized inertial measurements units (IMUs) that can be used to monitor lower body kinematics during daily training activities, without the need of extensive technical assistance throughout the measurements. The smart sensor tights enclose five ultra-light sensor modules that...

Estuaries have always been important for mankind and therefore it is essential to have a good understanding of the flow and sediment dynamics there. The goal of this thesis is twofold. One objective is to use an existing model to gain a more thorough understanding of the flow dynamics in an estuary. The second objective is to extend the model...

Australia has a high potential for production of renewable energy, such as wind and solar. Due to the stochastic operating conditions, excessively produced energy can be used to produce hydrogen by electrolysis to store the energy, known as power-to-gas. This hydrogen can be injected into the existing natural gas pipeline network, providing both...

Knowledge of seafloor topography (bathymetry) is increasingly important as coastal environments are unprecedentedly stressed by climate change and anthropogenic pressure. The bathymetry of shallow nearshore waters is yet marginally monitored due to costly and time-intensive survey techniques. Methods to obtain satellite derived bathymetry (SDB)...

The resiliency of coral reef islands to changing environments associated with climate change is controlled by the delicate balance between the import and export of sediment. The majority of the sediment is derived from coral reefs for which the stability of these islands is directly related to reef health. Understanding the sediment signature...

Partial shading of monolithically interconnected Cu(In,Ga)Se<sub>2</sub> (CIGSe) modules can lead to the formation of reverse bias induced defects. These localized defects permanently reduce the output of the PV module. The formation and propagation mechanisms of these defects is studied. Understanding these mechanisms can help to prevent or...

The growing amount of plastic pollution in the oceans is worldwide a huge problem. There is an increasing amount of projects that try to clean up this pollution. To remove the pollution efficiently, it is useful to know how plastic litter moves, degrades and sinks. Models are being developed that can describe what happens with plastic in the...

The Motion Reference Unit (MRU) is an important component in the Ampelmann Operation B.V. systems. In order to assess the performance of different MRUs a test system is developed. By using a one Degree of Freedom rail, wave motions can be simulated in the sway, surge and heave direction of a ship. The test system is divided in three parts:...

Mooring of vessels is very important for safe and efficient cargo handling of ships in ports, just as safe infrastructure is important. Civil Engineers and Mariners used to have a different approach for the same problem: what should be the safe working load (SWL) of a bollard. Mariners use the Minimum Breaking Load (MBL) of their mooring lines...

Natural occurring arsenic contamination of shallow aquifer groundwater is a problem affecting millions of people worldwide. Long term exposure to high concentrations results in severe medical conditions. On-going research into the origin and spread of the problem, risk mitigation and problem solving is of great importance. Sediment eroded and...

Background For patients with suspicious lung lesions found on chest x-ray or CT, endo/trans- bronchial biopsy of the lung is the preferred method for obtaining a diagnosis. With the addition of new screening programs, a higher number of patients will require diagnostic biopsy which will prove even more challenging due to the small size of...
