Koen, M. (author)Floating Production, Storage & Offloading (FPSO) units are extensively utilized in remote offshore areas for deep water developments where a pipeline infrastructure is not an economically viable solution. Traditionally, FPSOs are converted from oil tankers, which entails that they are not equipped with an appropriate mooring system. A spread...master thesis 2017

Taorem, S. (author)In the preliminary design phase of an offshore wind turbine, a complete aerodynamic model is not required to assess its feasibility. As a result, engineers often switch to a simple model which is reliable and efficient, economically and computationally. Such a simplified model is based on the research interest. The main objective of this project...master thesis 2017

den Boer, C.S. (author)There are many types of sequences on which classification algorithms are applied. Sequences of symbols with information on the relation between every two direct successors (referred to as link information) is one of these. A common approach for classification of such sequences is to only consider the symbols and disregard the link information....master thesis 2017

Ma, Y. (author)The rodent whisker system is becoming a prominent experimental subject for the study of active sensing. As a result of improved video recording hardware/software and progressively better neurophysiological methods, there is now the prospect of precisely analyzing the intact vibrissal sensorimotor system. The vibrissae and snout analyzer (ViSA),...master thesis 2017

van der Meijden, S.A. (author)A minimization of disturbance caused by aircraft noise events and a reduction of fuel consumption during the initial and final phase of flight. These are the two objectives that play an important role in the Flexible Runway Allocation Model. By taking into account fuel consumption alongside noise annoyance, this model enables to analyze and...master thesis 2017

Emmanouil, A. (author)The river Rhine is subject to a multitude of controls imposed by nature and humans. Natural controls refer to climate and tectonics, while human activity is represented by a series of interventions aimed at flood protection, navigation, land reclamation and exploitation of river supplied resources such as hydro energy and sediment. These...master thesis 2017

Wilson, B.A.H. (author)Wind turbines are often sited together in wind farms as it is economically advantageous. However, the wake inevitably created by every turbine will lead to an aerodynamic interaction between the individual turbines. Common practice in industry has been to control turbines individually and ignore this interaction while optimizing the power and...master thesis 2017

Van Es, H.E. (author)This study aims to improve the predictive capabilities of flow pattern and depositional behaviour of non-Newtonian, high concentration sand and fines mixtures. The depositional behaviour influences the geometry of the deposit and the distribution of sand and fines particles, which in turn influence the strength and consolidation performance of...master thesis 2017

Prabu Harsarapama, A. (author)As the number of large scale photovoltaic power plants (which also known as solar parks) is growing in recent years, standard activities related to the system such as the operation and maintenance of the plant and grid management have become more crucial. In order to ensure a standard quality of these activities, accurate irradiance measurement...master thesis 2017

Bekker, J.F. (author)A crown wall is a gravity based L- shaped concrete structure on top of a rubble mound breakwater. Functions of a crown wall are: reduction of wave overtopping, enable transport on the breakwater and placement of pipelines on top of the flat surface. Marine contractor Van Oord was awarded to extend a breakwater with a crown wall on top, located...master thesis 2017

Wieman, R. (author)Analyzing large numbers of log entries can be challenging, especially when there are many short log entries that each describe only one execution of the system, either successful or unsuccessful. How can one determine whether the system is working correctly, based on these logs? The logs that are of interest (e.g., log entries pointing towards...master thesis 2017

Bos, S. (author)This thesis describes how multimodal sensor data from a 3D sensor and microphone array can be processed with deep neural networks such that its fusion, the trained neural network, is a) more robust to noise, b) outperforms unimodal recognition and c) enhances unimodal recognition in absence of multimodal data. We built a framework for a complete...master thesis 2017
