Leboucher, A. (author)In 1997, the descent of the lander Pathfinder into the Martian atmosphere revealed temperatures in the meso- sphere below CO2 condensation point. As CO2 is the main constituent of the martian atmosphere, the pres- ence of mesospheric CO2 ice clouds has been suggested, and then confirmed by spectro-imaging observa- tions coming from satellite...master thesis 2017

van der Peijl, I.V. (author)Multivariate simplex B-splines as a modelling technique provide more accurate models than standard polynomial models, which makes them an excellent modelling tool. Their coefficients, which are expressed in a barycentric coordinate system, are abstract. In this paper a physical transformation matrix is derived which can be applied to transform B...master thesis 2017

Koster, A. (author)is thesis focuses on the behavior of the CD20 building system during an earthquake. In order to calculate the forces on the system, first a detailed model was constructed of the characteristic CD20 connection in Diana. This model was used to determine the stiffness of the connection. This stiffness was then transferred into a model of the whole...master thesis 2017

Van den Heuvel, D. (author)Sometimes a complex combinatorial problem has easily identifiable subproblems for which methods are available. Often, strong interactions between these subproblems prevent us to use these methods in a straightforward way. In railway industry, finding a schedule for train service and shunting tasks is an example of such a problem with clearly...master thesis 2017

Bovendeert, A.J. (author)ASI is a total hip replacement procedure. Due to its intermuscular nature, it is difficult to approach the hip. To improve access to the hip, exposure table-attachments can be used. However, these table attachments suffer some problems. Firstly, surgeons cannot optimally position the leg and execute manual prosthesis checks. For the patient, the...master thesis 2017

Huisman, W. (author)The circular economy framework is made up of many loops and principles. There are different business model archetypes and design principles that can help companies to transition towards the circular economy. For a company with the intention to do so, the question arises what combination of all these aspects is most favourable. In this report,...master thesis 2017

Koopmans, H. (author)Over one hundred scour holes are located in the Rhine-Meuse delta. These scour holes have relatively large depths and steep slopes and could pose a risk to the stability of river banks and hydraulic structures, especially since some scour holes are still growing. Scour holes develop at locations where either the hydrodynamics or the erodibility...master thesis 2017

Mus, D.A. (author)In order to interact with environments and appliances made for humans, robots should be able to manipulate a large variety of objects and appliances in human environments. When having experience with manipulating a certain object or appliance, a robot should be able to generalize this behaviour to novel, but similar objects and appliances. When...master thesis 2017

Ramaker, S. (author)Biotope products are hermetically sealed environments with a plant inside and sufficient water and air to let the plant thrive. They water the plants for you so you don’t have to. However since biotopes products hold plants inside they are very difficult to transport, different from any other kind of product. The plants and soil have to stay...master thesis 2017

Willighagen, A.A.J. (author)Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) is a renewable energy technology which can operate as a base load source of energy in equatorial areas. By converting the thermal energy of the sun stored in the oceans into electricity, this technology provides a sustainable solution for tropical islands. One of the key factor to accelerate the roadmap...master thesis 2017

Magalla, M. (author)Cracks are commonly occurring phenomena in concrete structures. Cracks provide paths for the ingress of deleterious substances, therefore endangering the durability of the structure. When cracking gets excessive, manual maintenance and repairs are required, which are both costly and time consuming. The demand for durable structures and materials...master thesis 2017
