Bourguignon, V.A. (author)In 2011, Schiphol introduced the self-service passport control (SSPC), which now functions as an alternative for the traditional passport control (TPC) at four different locations within the airport. Travellers thus have to make an obligatory choice between the two types of services. At the Schengen/non-Schengen border between Lounge 1 and...master thesis 2015

Villar Lejarreta, A. (author)Until recently the European electricity system has been operating as a set of isolated national markets with divergent regulatory norms. Today, the day-ahead markets between South-Western Europe and North-Western Europe are fully coupled, enabling the trading of electricity all the way from Portugal to Finland. Moreover, policy-makers in the...master thesis 2015

de van der Schueren, Tom (author)The design space of power plants of naval surface vessels is ever expanding. As a result, the design space has become too large for a human design team to fully explore. Therefore, a concept exploration tool is introduced to generate and evaluate all possible concepts within the design space. An optimal solution is chosen based on ship...master thesis 2022

Keizers, Jurre (author)5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is a versatile renewable base chemical, which can be produced by the acid-catalyzed dehydration of fructose. At this time HMF cannot yet compete with oil-based analogues, such as p-xylene, due to the high costs of production. Future incentives to encourage the transition to a bio-based economy may increase the...master thesis 2020

van der Sande, Robin (author)With the increasing appearance of DC loads and DC sources in the MVAC distribution grids, the need for DC power systems is getting more and more pronounced. As a result, the MMC has become a promising and innovative technology that can serve as the interface between a DC and AC network. The MMC-based MVDC distribution link is one of the...master thesis 2022

Śliwińska, Zuza (author)Hong Kong is known for its skyline and urban context, interpreted through colonial history. However, its past, present and future are entangled with that of almost 700 villages scattered across the New Territory land and preceding the current Hong Kong population. With recent proposals to further develop the currently ‘rural’ northwest of Hong...master thesis 2023

Verhoog, Castor (author)Vibration attenuation in lightly damped blade-like systems such as cantilevers or end-effectors of robot manipulators can be dampened using Active Vibration Control (AVC). Piezoelectric patches in a collocated setup measure and control the bending modes of such a cantilever system using Positive Position Feedback (PPF). Tuning methods for PPF...master thesis 2023

van Schie, Twan (author)Though cycling as a transportation method is widely seen as a sustainable method, professional cycling and racing are not. Though the first calls for sustainable action are made and the first efforts start to appear, not much has changed yet in the complex world of professional cycling.<br/>This report describes the design of a sustainability...master thesis 2023

Chahar, A. (author)Transactional Memory is a parallel programming paradigm in which tasks are executed, in forms of transactions, concurrently by different resources in a system and resolve conflicts between them at run-time. Conflicts, caused by data dependencies, result in aborts and restarts of transactions, thus, degrading the performance of the system. In...master thesis 2012

Stout, M.I. (author)This thesis is about the pricing of equity barrier options under local volatility. We study Dupire's nonparametric local volatility model, which can be defined in terms of call option prices or in terms of implied volatilities. No-arbitrage conditions are derived for the call option surface, and equivalent conditions for the total variance...master thesis 2014

van den Ende, Luc (author)An unexploited rotational momentum, i.e. swirl, is present in the slipstream of propellers. Stationary vanes, called swirl recovery vanes (SRVs), have been proven to be effective in increasing the propulsive efficiency of propellers. There is however no conclusive answer in literature on the noise effect of SRVs. Additionally, as the propeller...master thesis 2018
