Thomaidou, Eftychia (author)In this research, we studied the impact of the 5'UTR sequences on translation. This is done by generating various features describing the 5'UTR. Those features are then used as input in regression and classification models, that have the Translation Initiation Rates as target. The reason why it is of such importance, is dual. Because is very...master thesis 2017

Breider, Bas (author)Motocross is a popular, but dangerous sport: improvements in performance and safety should be made to make it more attractive and less dangerous. By automatically recognizing activities of the rider on the track, riders can be informed about dangerous situations, and fans can be provided with insights into the performance of the riders. The goal...master thesis 2017

Choiri, Hendra Hadhil (author)Analysing attractiveness of places in a region is beneficial to support urban planning and policy making. However, the attractiveness of a place is a subjective and high-level concept which is difficult to quantify. The existing methods rely on traditional surveys which may require high cost and have low scalability. This thesis attempts to...master thesis 2017

Echaniz Soldevila, Ignasi (author)This master thesis aims to gain new empirical insights into longitudinal driving behavior by means of the enumeration of a new hybrid car-following (CF) model which combines parametric and non parametric formulation. On one hand, the model, which predicts the drivers acceleration given a set of variables, benefits from innovative machine...master thesis 2017

Vermeer, Kaz (author)Advanced tools such as machine learning are slowly finding their way into the modern scientist’s toolbox . In the design of mechanical systems however hardly any machine learning applications are being used. Research into the viability of such an application is therefore necessary.<br/>We have performed such research, using a specific type of...master thesis 2017

Carzana, Livio (author)When sunlight illuminates a body, a tiny pressure is exerted upon its surface due to the photons impacting on it. Such a principle forms the basis of solar sailing, in which the solar radiation pressure is used to accelerate highly reflective lightweight structures called solar sails. Similarly, a laser-enhanced solar sail is a solar sail in...master thesis 2017

van Heukelum, Robin (author), Oolbekkink, Gerben (author), Wolting, Matthijs (author)For traditional, manual real estate appraisals, the appraiser is required to provide a number of comparable properties (the 'Comps'). These comps act as a benchmark for the valuation as well as a provider of context in the final appraisal report. Traditionally, these comps are selected manually by an appraiser based on recent transactions within...bachelor thesis 2018

Coraddu, A. (author), Kalikatzarakis, M. (author), Oneto, L. (author), Meijn, G. J. (author), Godjevac, M. (author), Geertsma, R.D. (author)Condition Based Maintenance on diesel engines can help to reduce maintenance load and better plan maintenance activities in order to support ships with reduced or no crew. Diesel engine performance models are required to predict engine performance parameters in order to identify emerging failures early on and to establish trends in...journal article 2018

Sulzer, Raphael (author), Nourian, Pirouz (author), Palmieri, M. (author), van Gemert, J.C. (author)This paper investigates automatic prediction of seismic building structural types described by the Global Earthquake Model (GEM) taxonomy, by combining remote sensing, cadastral and inspection data in a supervised machine learning approach. Our focus lies on the extraction of detailed geometric information from a point cloud gained by aerial...conference paper 2018

Zhang, Y. (author), Hung, H.S. (author)With the tremendous progress in sensing and IoT infrastructure, it is foreseeable that IoT systems will soon be available for commercial markets, such as in people's homes. In this paper, we present a deployment study using sensors attached to household objects to capture the resourcefulness of three individuals. The concept of...conference paper 2018

Capelle, lotte (author)This thesis describes three different predictive frameworks which are applied to improve the interaction behavior between a robot and their users. Machine learning is used to train the frameworks. The training data contains information obtained from one user over a period of approximately 3 to 30 days. This work is applied to the LEA robot: an...master thesis 2018

Bontor Humala, Bontor (author)Providing detailed appliance-level energy consumption information helps consumers to understand their usage behavior and encourages them to optimize their energy usage. Non-intrusive load monitoring (NILM) or energy disaggregation aims to estimate appliance-level energy consumption data from the aggregate consumption data of households. NILM...master thesis 2018

Andriessen, Frerik (author)Space exploration could be significantly aided by combining the disciplines of machine learning and computer vision, but these disciplines need to be developed further for specific space-related applications to have merit. One of the applications for space exploration is the detection of certain structures designating areas of interest. This...master thesis 2018

van Hilten, Arno (author)Cardiovascular diseases and stroke are currently the leading causes of death worldwide. Atherosclerotic plaque is a mostly asymptotic vascular disease, but rupture of an atherosclerotic plaque in the carotid artery could lead to stroke. Automated segmentation of plaque components could help improve risk assessment by producing fast and reliable...master thesis 2018

Dukai, Balázs (author)There are several 3D city models available openly, worldwide. These models are used in various applications, from which many expects a homogeneous Level of Detail (LoD). Validating the accuracy of the LoD of a model requires the inference its LoD class and its conformance to the real-world object. This process quickly becomes infeasible for...master thesis 2018

van der Arend, Dennis (author)Traditionally a wind turbine’s power curve is used to model the long-term energy yield of the wind turbine and afterwards assess the performance of the turbine (power curve verification). But the current power curve is typically univariate: only dependent on the wind speed and slightly adjusted for site density, turbulence intensity and wind...master thesis 2018

Döpke, Max (author)In this research a global-coefficient non-linear eddy viscosity model (NLEVM) is studied. This model stems from the inherent inability of the Boussinesq approximation to model anisotropy and therefore flow features such as: swirl, stream-line curvature and secondary motions (Lumley, 1970; Pope, 1975; Craft et al., 1996). The focus lies on the...master thesis 2018
