Neven, Job (author)Nowadays, the number of robotic systems grows enormously. In order to execute their task, many of these robots need a fixturing gripper to grasp and hold objects. To reduce the environmental impact, the operational costs, the size of actuators and to improve the uptime of mobile robots, it becomes increasingly important to design robots for a...master thesis 2017

van der Spaa, Linda (author)Current robots consume a lot of energy. The work required for a task is generally just a tiny fraction of the total energy consumed. Most energy wastefully dissipated. Design of the 2 degree of freedom (DoF) Plugless Robot Arm shows that clever design can reduce these energy losses to a tiny remaining fraction. The Plugless Arm is designed to...master thesis 2017

Voorrips, Yvonne (author)In the PHD researches of Jasper Wesselingh and Phuc Vuong, an active air film positioning system for thin substrates was developed. To apply this concept in an industrial environment, this research has to be extended to include both a positioning and a transportation system. An important part for up scaling the system is having an accurate...master thesis 2017

Meijer, Ricardo (author)Container vessels arriving in a port before or after their scheduled time can cause problems in the container terminal planning and planning of hinterland transportation. This in turn leads to an increase of the costs in the supply chain. Vessels communicate their Estimated Time of Arrival via Automatic Idetification System(AIS) data to the port...master thesis 2017

Li, Ke (author)Due to the rapid increase of global trade and deepening integration within the European Union (EU), freight transport across the EU has had relatively fast growth. However, constraints of transport infrastructure, interoperability and governance issues do slow down the developments of freight transport. There is a need for transport planning...master thesis 2017

Nieto, Juan Pablo (author)The European Union (EU) has been regulating roaming since 1997, and has developed different policies aiming to promote transparency in prices and improve competitiveness across the members. With both positive and negative outcomes, the European Commission (EC) had a long learning process where different regulatory measures were introduced and...master thesis 2017

Kulkarni, Raunak (author)Outage scheduling for maintenance in asset management of electrical transmission and distribution system plays an important role in power system reliability. For instance, failure probability of transmission line may change from time to time due to exogenous conditions. Impact of failure or service interruption can be described by using...master thesis 2017

Vos, Jasper (author)Conversion projects are considered as a growing market within the new build and in particular the repair market within the maritime industry, due to ever more demanding environmental regulations. A development that Royal Niestern Sander (KNS) embraces and wants to exploit further. Although conversion projects are already being executed,...master thesis 2017

van Leeuwen, Simon (author)All ships rely on many on board systems to reliably complete their missions (e.g. transporting containers, laying pipes or protecting the seas). However, for many of these ships, the detailed design of these systems is put off until the later stages of the design. For most ships, this will create no problems. However, for those complex vessels...master thesis 2017

Siccama, Joanne (author)Supercritical water gasification (SCWG) is a thermochemical conversion process in which wet biomass is converted into gaseous products as methane, carbon dioxide and hydrogen. For SCWG both the temperature and pressure of the medium are increased beyond the critical point of water (373.95⁰C and 220.64 bar). The supercritical water acts as an...master thesis 2017

Alashrafov, Rustam (author)Touchless interaction has recently gained considerable attention by researchers as well as industry. Different domains are interested in implementing this technology in their solutions. Medical visualization has a special interest in this technology due to the sterile conditions in operating rooms. Exploration and detailed inspection of the...master thesis 2017

Castillo Gonzalez, Hugo (author)Despite the fact of the outstanding efficiency of the perovskite-based devices, their current size is<br/>around a few square millimeters. The application of this thin-film technology in module scale requires<br/>an interconnection with optimal laser processing to create a channel for the photo current. In<br/>this project, the relation between...master thesis 2017

Vişniuc, Monica (author)The present research applied a mixed approach for increasing the energy performance of retail spaces by setting new specific energy consumption targets and identifying what measures can be implemented at the building level to achieve the most energy gains. Energy benchmarking, a common practice of evaluating the building performance has been...master thesis 2017

Stuurman, Pim (author)This thesis is about modelling citation performance using Bayesian networks (BN). As an approximation for citation performance, we will use the proportion of papers by an author that resulted in being one of the top 10% most cited papers. Using 15 predicting variables such as year of first publication and average number of authors per paper, we...master thesis 2017

Hordijk, Peter (author)A musculoskeletal model of the shoulder region, which uses kinematic data as an input an estimates muscle forces and joint loads as an output, can give valuable information on the pitching motion. This helps us to get more insight into the pitching motion and its biomechanical interactions and may also help in reducing the injury risk and...master thesis 2017

Korteweg, Noortje (author)Tripick is an online platform which makes it possible to save holiday destinations from different tour operators and share them with travelpartners so jointly the best location can be chosen. Users of the platform will search for a holiday destination just as they normally do, but when they have found a potential location they can easily save it...master thesis 2017

van Dijken, Franka (author)Topologische ruimten kunnen, ondanks dat ze wellicht compacte Hausdorff-ruimten zijn, heel andere eigenschappen hebben dan compacte metrische ruimten. In dit verslag wordt deze bewering toegelicht aan de hand van zes voorbeelden. Deze voorbeelden zijn ingedeeld in drie hoofdstukken: meetkundige voorbeelden, de Cech-Stone compactificatie van de...bachelor thesis 2017
