Blom, Sjoerd (author)The Dutch energy landscape is becoming more complex due to various interacting factors and uncertainties, creating what are known as "wicked problems" that demand collaborative solutions. This study addresses knowledge gaps by developing a collaborative guide for fostering effective Multi-Stakeholder Collaborations (MSCs) that can endure over...master thesis 2024

van der Vliet, Willem (author)Digital twins (DTs) are a common way for city planners and citizens alike to visualize the impact of new policy decisions, simulate scenarios, and plan for disasters. The more detail these DTs have, the more useful they can be. Windows and doors, also known as building openings, are a critical detail missing in Amsterdam’s DT. While previous...master thesis 2023

Knaven, Hugo (author)Due to climate change, there is a push toward a reduction of greenhouse gasses. Through spatial planning, the province of South Holland plays a role in this process. However, this requires insights into relation between the energy system and the built environment that is currently lacking. This thesis shows how spatial clustering using the K...master thesis 2023

Groenendijk, Jurre (author)With the current state-of-the-art research, exporting a NeRF to a mesh has the side effect of having to evaluate a Multi Layer Perceptron at render-time, causing a significant decrease in performance. We have found a way to use K-Means clustering to pre-compute values for this MLP, storing them in multiple octahedron maps for the GPU to fetch...bachelor thesis 2023

Vilhjálmsson, Thor (author)This thesis aims to investigate the feasibility of developing a successful unsupervised Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) methodology to detect damage in structures, specifically bridges. Detecting damage, especially in its earliest stages, is challenging, thus prompting the need for robust and effective methods. The success of such a...master thesis 2023

Hulskemper, Daan (author)The Earth's landscapes are shaped by processes eroding, transporting, and depositing material over various timespans and spatial scales. To understand these surface activities and mitigate potential hazards they inflict, knowledge is needed of their occurrences and properties. Near-continuous terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) enables the...master thesis 2023

van der Knaap, R.J.H. (author), de Bruyn, Menno (author), van Oort, N. (author), Huisman, Dennis (author), Goverde, R.M.P. (author)Train passenger demand fluctuates throughout the day and week and these fluctuations are expected to increase due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In order to let train services, such as the line plan and timetable, match this fluctuating demand, insights are needed into how the demand is changing and for which periods the demand is relatively stable....abstract 2023

Mohammadi, Majid (author), Tamburri, Damian A. (author), Rezaei, J. (author)Priorities in multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) convey the relevance preference of one criterion over another, which is usually reflected by imposing the non-negativity and unit-sum constraints. The processing of such priorities is different than other unconstrained data, but this point is often neglected by researchers, which results in...journal article 2023

Jamaer, S. (author), Allaerts, D.J.N. (author), Meyers, J. (author), Van Lipzig, N. P.M. (author)Vertical temperature profiles influence the wind power generation of large offshore wind farms through stability-dependent effects such as blockage and gravity waves. However, numerical tools that are used to model these effects are often computationally too expensive to cover the large variety of atmospheric states occurring over time....journal article 2023

Halder, Subir (author), Ghosal, Amrita (author), Conti, M. (author)Networks of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are emerging in many application domains, e.g., military surveillance. To perform collaborative tasks, the involved UAVs exchange several types of information, e.g., sensor data and commands. The major question here is how to schedule the tasks under dynamic traffic flows to provide network services...journal article 2023

Kroese, Willem (author)Cloud droplet number concentrations change due to perturbations in aerosol concentrations. The strength of this correlation covaries with meteorology. Using polarimetric aerosol estimates and MODIS-2 cloud retrievals we compute the interaction strength per meteorological regime, which we determined using clustering techniques on MERRA-2...student report 2022

van Kessel, Bart (author)Dunes are the primary sea defence along the Dutch coast. This research investigated the development between 1965 and 2021 of the beaches and dunes of the Hoogheemraadschap Hollands Noorderkwartier (HHNK) area which stretches from IJmuiden to northern Texel. This research used an advanced data analysis on the annual coastal elevation data. The...master thesis 2022

van der Wal, Robin (author)Multiple Instance Learning (MIL) is a type of semi-supervised machine learning used recently in medical and multi-media fields. In MIL, instead of a single feature vector, a set of feature vectors has to be classified. Standard MIL algorithms assume that only some of these vectors are useful for building a classifier. This paper extends the...master thesis 2022

Gołyska, Urszula (author)Abrupt and rapid high-amplitude changes in a dynamical system’s states known as extreme events appear in many processes occurring in nature, such as drastic climate patterns, rogue waves, or avalanches. These events often entail catastrophic effects, therefore their description and prediction is of great importance. Nevertheless, because of...master thesis 2022

van den Bos, Sjoerd (author)Electrocardiography is the craft of producing electrocardiograms. These graphs give physicians insight into the potential pathology of the heart. In order to come to a diagnosis, physicians use electrocardiograms in combination with follow-up physical examinations. There has been extensive research into automated methods that can differentiate...master thesis 2022

Smit, Michiel (author)Coastal and offshore infrastructure must be designed to withstand extreme wave-induced loading conditions. Extreme Value Analysis (EVA) is often employed to infer probabilistic distributions that provide information about extreme design conditions. In traditional practices, EVA is performed under the assumption of stationarity. This means that...master thesis 2022

de Water, Joey (author)Energy communities are not yet fully self sufficient, mostly due to financial factors. Efforts are made to reduce these factors. Communities invest in community-owned assets, which provide more savings compared to individually-owned assets. Prosumers share their loads for better energy distribution, this can provide a significant impact. A good...bachelor thesis 2022
