Supriya Krishnan, Supriya (author)Conventional spatial planning deals with hazards by bouncing back to the pre-existing situation. Intensifying manifestations of climate risk lead to unforeseen cascading effects that often surpass the level of protection offered by this type of approach (e.g. Hurricane Katrina) . In this thesis. spatial planning approach is developed that...master thesis 2017

van Goeverden, Koen (author)This research concerns the analysis of the organisation of transport of cut flowers from Dutch growers. The performance of transport in the current supply chain is analysed with a focus on the total transport costs, and the service level which is primarily defined by the lead time of products. Based on the assessment of the current performance...master thesis 2017

Zheng, Menghan (author)Climate change is a global issue that influences worldwide. Its impacts are expected to be particularly severe in coastal cities, which are the center of discussion addressing this phenomenon. While it is impossible to ever fully eliminate risks from flooding, there are many measures available to manage and adapt to those risks. The Embarcadero,...master thesis 2017

Lampadiari Matsa, Antigoni (author)The topic of this graduation project is the design of an adaptive fabric façade for a high-rise in Paris. The stimulus for this choice was the turn of nowadays towards lightweight materials and constructions, a trend that is growing tremendously. Glass façades always remain popular and are frequently used in all kinds of buildings. For instance,...master thesis 2017

Vroon, Jos (author)Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RD) is a sight threatening condition. In this type of RD a break in the retina allows liquefied vitreous to enter the subretinal space and the retina to detach. The prognosis concerning the patients' visual ability is better if the RD has not progressed to the macula. The patient is given a posturing advice of...master thesis 2017

Crielaard, Bram (author), Bruin, Chiel (author), Aerts, Taico (author)WebLab is a system where students can write and test code using an online interface. Course coordinators can create assignments and exams, where they can define automated tests to verify that the student code meets requirements. As WebLab only offered support for programming languages which run on the Java Virtual Machine, it was limited to a...bachelor thesis 2017

Garud, Siddhartha (author)In the previous decade, Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 (kesterite) compounds have attracted the interest of several research groups across the world. Their efforts have improved this technology from 5 % power conversion efficiency in 2004 to above 13 % in 2017 (communicated but not published) [1]. This thesis begins with an assessment of the current status of...master thesis 2017

Verkamman, Sjors (author), Kouwenhoven, Kevin (author)In this thesis, we describe the design process of a distance sensing system for the Deci Zebro swarm robots. We use a technique that transmits a radio frequency message and a ultrasonic pulse concurrently. Due to the difference in propagation speed of both signals, the distance could be measured using time difference of arrival (TDOA). A cone...bachelor thesis 2017

Kamphuis, Wouter (author)If we do not anticipate for a transport revolution within 10 years, we are forced back to autarkic ways of life. Transport and our built environment are greatly interrelated. What if we could look at transport from the point of urban development? Is it possible to assess why a mode of transport is right for a city based on an urban impact we...master thesis 2017

Robertson, Paul (author)The last couple of years it is very hard for students to find a proper and affordable home in Amsterdam. As a reaction to this matter, the government has built several student complexes which consist of transformed shipping containers. It is a very effective and quick solution in order to cope with the rising number of students who are in need...master thesis 2017

Overbeek, Daphne (author)Terminals are encouraged to redesign their operations to facilitate future growth of container freight. Routing of Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) can contribute significantly to this trend. Traditional routing, as implemented in real-life terminals, uses a topology of paths. To improve flexibility and scalability of the AGV system, a promising...master thesis 2017
