de Vries, Lisa (author)Banks issue mortgages with an embedded option for borrowers to prepay a part of the loan. However, this behaviour poses a risk to banks as it disrupts the level and timing of mortgage cash flows. From an earning perspective, when interest rates decrease, customers are financially incentivised to prepay their mortgages, resulting in a decrease in...master thesis 2023

de Vries, Ate-Jan (author)Non-Euclidean spaces are spaces that do not satisfy all of Euclid’s postulates. An example of such a space is hyperbolic space. In this paper, a method is discussed to draw a tessellation of hyperbolic space in a manner that fits with the virtual reality game "Holonomy", a game which takes place in hyperbolic space. The main result shows that...bachelor thesis 2023

de Vries, Irene (author)Polders water canals are sometimes exposed to brackish seepage from the nearby saline sea (salinization). This is a problem because the canal water is used to irrigate crops. A characteristic of water is that less dense (fresh) water floats on top of dense (saline) water. In lakes and oceans, it is common that water layers with various densities...master thesis 2023

de Vries, David (author)Ethiopia’s energy demand is expected to increase sevenfold in the coming 30 years, resulting in increased variable renewable electricity (VRE) production by solar PV and wind. Energy storage acts as a buffer that mitigates the effects of over- or under-capacity in production by VRE. With 97% of global bulk energy storage, pumped hydro storage is...master thesis 2023
