de Vries, Volkmar (author)Shipping is, and will continue to be, the most important transportation method around the globe. A vital part of the logistic chain, it is also one of the main contributors to the worldwide CO2 emissions. Current propulsion technologies all rely on the same classic diesel driven technology, as diesel is widely available and has a high energy...master thesis 2022

de Vries, Roelof Jan (author)In the DST project, a deployable space telescope is designed for the thermal infrared spectrum. For this project, a new Systems Engineering (SE) approach was needed, since the SE was outdated and the project worked in silos. Important goals for the SE approach were that it was easy to use and minimizes the workload by automating as much as...master thesis 2022

de Vries, Lianne (author)Optical fibers form the backbone of our global data transmission infrastructure. As demands on global data transmission grow the capacity of these systems needs to be increased. The behaviour of light waves through these optical fibers is described by the Manakov Equation (ME), a system of nonlinear partial differential equations.<br/><br/>The...master thesis 2021

de Vries, Laura (author)Over the last years the Netherlands has often had to deal with droughts and water shortages during summer. This problem is caused by long periods without rain but with high evaporation rates and is enhanced by groundwater extraction for drinking water. Due to climate change, these droughts are expected to occur more often and become more severe....master thesis 2021

de Vries, Jitske (author)With a growing number of citizens and tourists, the scarce public space, roads, and public transport in Amsterdam are experiencing rising pressure. Instead of utilizing the conventional transportation routes, Autonomous Surface Vessels (ASVs) could transport goods and people via the 165 canals present in Amsterdam. <br/>However, urban canals are...master thesis 2021

de Vries, Jelle (author)Mobile soft robots show great potential for exploration of unknown and hard to navigate environments. Sadly, most of these robots are currently being held back by their power sources and control systems. These components, which are usually quite heavy and bulky, need to be integrated before mobile soft robots can cut their tethers and explore...master thesis 2021

de Vries, Yorick (author)With the increasing global demand for logistics, supply chains have grown a lot in volume over the last decades. To be able to operate effectively within the capacity constraints of the carriers, proper collaboration and optimization of order allocation is required. Van Berkel Logistics facilitates the transport of containers by trucks from sea...master thesis 2021

de Vries, Tessa (author)Biomedical researchers and clinicians are interested in (ab)normal foetal development because it can aid in better understanding human anatomy. To capture this foetal development non-destructive three dimensional (3D) imaging techniques like computed tomography (CT) are used. Visualising foetuses remains a challenge however, as foetuses consist...master thesis 2021

de Vries, jorrit (author)As part of the effort to make the Dutch waterways CO2-neutral, a consortium consisting of, among others, CRUX Engineering BV and Delft University of Technology, initiated a case study in which the thermal and mechanical performance of an energy sheet pile wall is studied. This technology allows for the extraction of energy from the water and...master thesis 2021

de Vries, Aksel (author)With the Fourth Industrial Revolution, new industrial automation technologies (Industrial IoT) may replace the existing standard (MES). Most literature analyses software vendor techno-functional design, or manufacturer’s digital transformation. This paper takes a novel approach, by analysing the Business Eco-System with a lens of 11 nontechnical...master thesis 2021

de Vries, Coen (author)Since the Industrial Revolution, fossil fuels have played, and continue to play, a dominant role in global energy systems, and thereby in the social, economic and technological developments worldwide. Unfortunately, these energy sources have their negative side-effects: local air pollution and global CO2-emission. The latter has never been this...master thesis 2021

de Vries, Niels (author)Bulk materials such as iron ore transported by bulk carriers are commonly unloaded by the use of grabs. The unloading process is time consuming and increasing the unloading capacity is of big importance for terminals. A validated co-simulation developed by the TU Delft in cooperation with Nemag enables to test grabs in the virtual environment....master thesis 2020

de Vries, Josephine (author)All museum visitors should be able to go to any museum they like and observe the artworks they prefer. For visually impaired people this is often not the case, even though museums have a social responsibility to make their collections accessible for everyone. Especially since the United Nations agreed on the rights of persons with disabilities...master thesis 2020

de Vries, Ismay (author)This thesis investigates different ways in which the productivity of a one-way bottling and packaging production line can be increased. This is done by comparing different configurations regarding machine capacities, machine reliability and buffer capacities with each other. This is done with both the use of a generic model and a case study. The...master thesis 2020

de Vries, Jannelie (author)Interobserver reliability is a problem in behavioural studies. In order to increase the interobserver reliability, a formal checker is used to study behaviour. Together with a clear ethogram of basic behaviours, this tool can be used to automatically check for more complex behaviours and thus reducing the risk of biases introduced by human...master thesis 2019
