Dicker, Jeroen (author)Beach nourishments or sand replenishments are applied by the use of pipelines or the rainbow method. Replenished sand is then moved and levelled by bulldozers. This is a passive approach to process the outflow of material. The land based equipment is dependent from tides and water levels, and significant effort is required to install and...master thesis 2017

Rastogi, Divyam (author)Reinforcement Learning (RL) is a general purpose framework for designing controllers for non-linear systems. It tries to learn a controller (policy) by trial and error. This makes it highly suitable for systems which are difficult to control using conventional control methodologies, such as walking robots. Traditionally, RL has only been...master thesis 2017

Gorter, Wilbert (author)Allerlei diffusieverschijnselen in de natuurkunde kunnen omschreven worden<br/>met de Poissonvergelijking op een gebied met te kiezen randvoorwaarden. Er zijn echter ook verschijnselen waarin er een gelaagdheid optreedt zodat er in verticale<br/>richting minder makkelijk diffusie kan plaatsvinden. Dit leidt tot een vergelijking<br/>met...bachelor thesis 2017

Rosanka, Simon (author)Aviation activities contribute substantially to the anthropogenic climate impact. Due to an increasing demand on aviation transport, multiple mitigation strategies have been established to reduce the contribution to climate change by aviation. One promising strategy is to re-route aircraft, such that climate sensitive atmospheric areas are...master thesis 2017

Admiraal, Max (author)The increase in greenhouse gas emissions change the precipitation behaviour causing either extreme wet- or dry weather. This impacts the fresh water supply for clean water production. Evides B.V., one of the Dutch water companies, anticipates to these changes with the sewer mining concept called ‘RINEW’ (Rotterdam Innovative Nutrients and Energy...master thesis 2017

Klein, Keith (author), Dúóng, Hung (author)This Document contains a detailed technical report on the design and test of a system that performs data acquisition and wireless communication. The system is specifically designed for an Inductive Power Transfer (IPT) charging system consisting of two control systems implemented in order to achieve maximum efficiency. One on the primary side of...bachelor thesis 2017

Adhitomo Sulistyo, Adhitomo (author)One proposed method to delay the onset of gravity segregation between water and gas in enhanced oil and gas projects and extend the period of effective macroscopic sweep in “SWAG” is by separating the injection wells into two parallel horizontal wells (Stone, 2004). In this “modified SWAG”, the water injection well is aligned at a distance above...master thesis 2017

Gupta, Parul (author)Android smartphones collect and compile a huge amount of sensitive information which is secured using cryptography. There is an unintended leakage of information during the physical implementation of a cryptosystem on a device. Such a leakage is often termed as side channel and is used to break the implementation of cryptographic algorithms. In...master thesis 2017

Chandrasekharan Nair, Sreejith (author)Speech is a natural way of communicating that does not require us to develop any new skills in order to be able to interact with electronic devices. With the evolution of technology, speech has become one of the primary means of communication. Speech recognition is a form of multimedia content analysis, where the information carried in a speech...master thesis 2017

Baas, Mathieu (author)Long distance ocean towing is a commonly used transportation method in the oil & gas and renewable energy industries. Barges with cargo, vessels and various offshore structures are towed from and to location. Boskalis participates in this industry through its subsidiaries Smit and Fairmount Marine. From experience with these transports, it...master thesis 2017

Garry Yuan Kwan, Garry (author)Idling instabilities of large wind turbines in extreme winds is a relatively well known problem for manufacturers, at least in terms of the results in calculations. However, many are still sceptical of how realistic such instabilities are in actuality due to limitations in the current state of the art aeroelastic tools.<br/>The overall aim of...master thesis 2017

Wanthanadamkerng, Thawatchai (author)The use of vortex generators (VGs) is a prevailing technology in large modern wind turbines due to its potential to increase wind turbine annual energy production [39] by re-energizing the momentum energy in the boundary layer and, as a consequence, delay the flow separation. Many researchers have been extensively studying the effects of VGs on...master thesis 2017

Li, Ang (author)The aim of this thesis is to evaluate the influence between the two counter-rotating VAWT rotors with the Double Actuator Cylinder (DAC) model which will be validated against the panel code. The DAC model is developed from the original Actuator Cylinder (AC) model which includes the Modified-Linear (Mod-Lin) correction. The original AC model for...master thesis 2017

Chavez Olalla, Juan (author)Aftercare of sanitary landfills represents a burden for future generations, for emission potential of leachate and gases remains for hundred of years. Treatment methods have to be developed in order to accelerate waste degradation and reduce emission potential preferably within the time-span of one generation. Aeration seems a promising...master thesis 2017

Sellés Alsedà, Dídac (author)As technology advances, industry and academia rely more and more on the output of computer simulations or physical experiments of engineering systems under development. In some cases, the relationship between input and output of a system under study is too complex to model through analytical expressions or numerical methods. In other cases,...master thesis 2017
