Wibisono, A.M. (author)Biomass as a renewable energy resource and a carbon neutral feedstock has a big potential to replace fossil fuel. Gasification as one of thermochemical process routes in biomass utilization draws attention with regards to its broad product range. The circulating fluidized bed with the advantages of higher and rapid conversion performs as the...master thesis 2016

Doekemeijer, B.M. (author)Wind turbines are often grouped together for financial reasons, but due to wake development this usually results in decreased turbine lifetimes and power capture, and thereby an increased levelized cost of energy (LCOE). Wind farm control aims to minimize this cost by operating turbines at their optimal control settings. Most state-of-the-art...master thesis 2016

Baines, P.M. (author)There are still important knowledge gaps regarding stability and safety of bicycle riding. Every year around 60,000 people need hospital treatment for single sided accidents in the Netherlands alone. Supporting the need for understanding lateral bicycle dynamics. One of the prominent disturbances on lateral bicycle and rider behaviour is...master thesis 2016

Oud, M. (author)Models are an important tool for decision making. However, in order to get proper results, these models must be validated and only be used in situations where the conditions of the validation apply. Blind trust on a model can lead to unexpected and inaccurate results. Advancements can be made to reduce the number of situations where this occurs....master thesis 2016

Van Leeuwen, Y.B. (author)Maintenance dredging, as a result of port and channel sedimentation, can have a large share in overall maintenance costs of a port. A smart design can minimize the amount of maintenance dredging and thus improve the profitability of a port but also the long-term sustainability. As the preliminary design stages are often decisive for the final...master thesis 2015

Gawehn, M.A. (author)Coral reefs are hard structures that front many coasts in tropical and subtropical climates and protect them against wave attack and erosion. Despite reducing incoming wave energy by up to 98%, coral reefs are not a guarantee that mainland or island coasts are safe from being flooded. This was demonstrated by a series of wave-driven flooding...master thesis 2015

Neijenhuis, R.W.A. (author)Ieder jaar zijn er veel evenementen waar duizenden of zelfs miljoenen mensen op afkomen. Denk bijvoorbeeld aan muziek-, cultuur- en sportevenementen. Daarnaast gebruiken miljoenen mensen dagelijks plekken als stations of winkelcentra. Bij al deze voorbeelden ontstaan gigantische mensenmassa's die gecontroleerd moeten worden zodat de...bachelor thesis 2015

Van Dijk, M.T.P. (author)A mathematical model of the migration and deformation of cells on a cellular scale is simulated. The cells are represented by a boundary and a nucleus. The boundary and nucleus are divided into several points, where the boundary points as well as the nucleus points are connected to each other by a series of springs. The model considers one or...bachelor thesis 2015

Hulsman, P. (author)The Mara River originates in Kenya in the Mau Escarpment and flows through the Serengeti ecosystem into Lake Victoria in Tanzania; in total it is about 395 km long. In this river, human interventions have led to increased of agricultural areas. As a result, increased fast runoff and top soil erosion is expected. Consequently, more sediments is...master thesis 2015

Van Twillert, M.J. (author)This report describes two methods to analyse the effect of sloshing on ship motions. The first method applies linear potential theory on both the barge and the internal tanks. For the barge the radiation, diffraction and incoming wave potentials are solved. For the internal tanks only the radiation potential is calculated, as there are obviously...master thesis 2015

Nijhuis, P.J. (author)How could urban areas provide public charging infrastructure for the rapidly increasing number of electric vehicles? The objective of this research is to develop a tool that helps municipalities and market players to understand the need for public charging infrastructure, and to design an efficient solution for charging large numbers of electric...master thesis 2015

Kuijk, D. (author)The urban area is complex. It consists of buildings, roads, green areas and surface water. The subsurface is just as complex. Interaction between groundwater and drainage, seepage from deeper groundwater aquifers and interaction with surface water make it difficult to determine what is happening. The urban area is also sensitive to damages, both...master thesis 2015

Nonnekes, L.E. (author)To assess, and validate the most recent interpretations on the Panther Tongue\rq{}s depositional history we use the conceptual process-response model, 2Dstratsim. The focus of this study is on the Ksp040 parasequence which reflects the wave-dominated shoreface along the southern Wasatch Plateau. The associated Panther Tongue delta to the north...master thesis 2014

Nieuwenhuis, M.T.A. (author)During gas production offshore, also water is produced. There are gas numbers available per well, but the water production is only known for several wells together. This thesis tries to model the water production per well based on the available data. This is done through a least-squares method. The report shows that it is very difficult to find...master thesis 2014

Rousselot, L. (author)Stenosis is the main reason of the failure of a vascular access in haemodialysis. Its presence engenders an increase of the morbidity and an increase of the hospitalization for hemodialysed patients and its early detection consists thus in an important issue. Digital phonoangiography or digital acoustical analysis is an alternative to the...master thesis 2014

Van Nee, M.M. (author)In dit verslag wordt een wiskundig model voor tumorangiogenese gepresenteerd. Daarnaast wordt een model voor de zuurstofconcentratie en een model voor de tumorgrootte gepresenteerd. De angiogenese wordt op microschaal gemodelleerd door de verplaatsing van de toppen van bloedvaten per tijdsstap te berekenen. De verplaatsing wordt bepaald door...bachelor thesis 2014
