Balvalli, P. (author)The desorption step of the carbon dioxide absorption/desorption process is an extremely energy intensive process, which accounts for approximately 70% of operating cost according to Mofarahi et al. [2008]. Technip-ECN has proposed a solution of Heat integrated distillation column which will be adapted for the absorption process. In order to...master thesis 2017

Hodenius, L. (author)This study has been conducted in order to develop a method to determine in which situations and under which circumstances unbundling (i.e. the separation of traffic flows), can be used to solve bottlenecks on motorways. Although unbundling has already been applied in the Netherlands, success of this method has been varying. In this study...master thesis 2017

Azzopardi, M. (author)There appears to be something of a perfect storm on the horizon with a sense of drive and changing demand from consumers. The urge to act now mainly revolts around resilience to adapt well in the face of adversity. Fuel cells are a revolutionary technology which can be used as energy conversion devices for distributed combined heat and power...master thesis 2017

Monchen, G. (author)Adaptive Optics (AO) play an essential role in the field of astronomical seeing for ground-based telescopes, providing a corrected image from the disturbance caused by the light having to travel through the turbulent atmosphere of our Earth. To provide us with more detailed images, the sizes of these telescopes are getting increasingly larger....master thesis 2017

van de Leijgraaf, M. (author)Clients and vessel manufacturers are always looking for ways to increase the performance of their fleet. Therefore, a novel modelling strategy for the propulsion plant of naval vessels is explored here. This has been done by using the Linear Parameter Varying (LPV) framework. On one hand, a non-linear description is needed to fully understand...master thesis 2017

Prins, P.J. (author)Experiments in a closed-cycle cryostat suffer from vibrations caused by its pulse tube. To reduce this disturbance, a vibration isolator needs to be placed inside the cryostat. Since mechanical dampers do not work in a cryogenic environment, it requires active damping. This thesis is about the design of a controller for such an active vibration...master thesis 2017

Lonsain, J. (author)Aeroelastic analyses traditionally consider the airfoil of a wing to remain rigid, only allowing deformation in the span-wise direction of the wing. Recent investigations have shown the benefits of adding chord-wise flexibility in the trailing edge of a wing, however so far only two-dimensional studies have been carried out. Therefore, the...master thesis 2017

Mank, A.B. (author)To reduce the mortality rate of sepsis, treatment needs to be started as soon as possible. One should however first be sure about the occurrence of sepsis. Currently, the suspicion of sepsis in premature infants is based on non-specific physiological changes. The detection of alterations in the inter-heartbeat interval preceding sepsis can offer...master thesis 2017

van Alebeek, Sanne (author)This bachelor thesis is about binary error-correcting codes. A binary code is a collection words with the same length n that consists only of zeroes and ones. The error-correcting quality of a code is determined by the Hamming distance d of a code. A classical question in coding theory is: What is the maximum number of codewords in a code with...bachelor thesis 2017

Brouwer, I.N. (author)Sealing constructions are frequently used in reusable instruments to prevent the loss of fluids or gasses in a construction by obstructing flow through the glands in the interface of two or more separate parts, and may be applied to seal patients' body fluids. Patient material contains various types of microorganisms, and with the increase of...master thesis 2017

Gillis, Y.N. (author)The Emergency Department (ED) treats patients who have acute conditions and operates twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. At the ED department at the University Medical Centre Utrecht (UMCU), the patients are treated in single rooms. There is not always direct contact between patients and the ED team, because the team is responsible for...master thesis 2017

(author)In the southern part of Vietnam, where the lower Mekong Delta is located, coastal erosion problems occur. In the Bạc Liêu province, one of the twelve provinces in the Mekong Delta, the width of the mangrove belt between the sea dyke and the sea is reduced by 100 m in the last four years. By rehabilitation of the mangrove forest, the hinterland...student report 2017

Klespe, L. (author)Counter Rotating Open Rotors are a possible response to the demands of future aviation propulsion. Their benefit of low fuel consumption grants operation particularly for rising kerosene price. Detrimental is the high level of noise emission, especially tonal sound. For prospective development and implementation to modern aviation, noise...master thesis 2017

Putra Pratama Hartono, A. (author)One of the cause of slow download speed in the BitTorrent community is the existence of freeriders. The credit system, as one of the most widely implemented incentive mechanisms, is designed to tackle this issue. However, in some cases, gaining credit efficiently is difficult. Moreover, the supply and demand misalignment in swarms can result in...master thesis 2017

Fool, Fabian (author)Currently a lot of effort is put into developing matrix arrays which allow for volumetric imaging and new applications. There are however multiple problems. Compared to arrays currently in use which have in the order of 128 elements, matrix arrays can easily contain 1000 to 10000 elements. If all elements would be connected independently, the...master thesis 2017
