Peeten, Vino (author)The offshore wind market is growing rapidly, and new offshore wind projects are being launched more than ever. To keep up with demand, parts for these wind turbines are being produced all over the world. To get all the parts needed to their destination on time, they must be transported on heavy transport vessels (HTVs).<br/><br/>Today, business...master thesis 2022

Eijsvogel, Nienke (author)Containerization, a lightweight form of virtualization, increasingly became more popular in the last decade. Containers can offer a level of isolation and privacy to the user, which are not always sought after. High performance computing workloads benefit from having a custom container filesystem, but would suffer from any overhead incurred by...master thesis 2022

Manivannan, Denesh (author)Socially compliant robot navigation in pedestrian environments remains challenging owing to uncertainty in human behavior and varying pedestrian preferences in different social contexts. Local optimization planners like Model Predictive Control can incorporate collision avoidance constraints, but they can only lead to socially compliant...master thesis 2022

Stoopman, Sam (author)What exactly causes the emergence of the attitude-behaviour gap, and to what extent, is not fully understood. Previous academic research has shown that many barriers to adoption remain, and that difficulty lies in the heterogeneity of consumers. Through the use of a simulation model this thesis explores the emergence of the attitude-behaviour...master thesis 2022

Kilkiş, San (author)Present Knowledge Based Engineering (KBE) applications do not facilitate collaborative processes due to lack of process formalization and orchestration capabilities, leading to ad-hoc solutions. This increases application development time, reduces re-usability, and increases the cognitive burden of users leading to decreased design efficiency....master thesis 2022

Chen, Dina (author)Recent works explain the DNN models that perform image classification tasks following the "attribution, human-in-the-loop, extraction" workflow. However, little work has looked into such an approach for explaining DNN models for language or multimodal tasks. To address this gap, we propose a framework that explains and assesses the model...master thesis 2022

Kuiper, Lucie (author)Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly helping people with all kinds of tasks, due to its promising capabilities. In some tasks, an AI system by itself will take over tasks, but in other tasks, an AI system making decisions on its own would be undesired due to ethical and legal reasons. In those cases, AI can still be of help by forming...master thesis 2022

Rutten, Stephan (author)The objective of this research is to evaluate what is required to make the operation of multiple robots feasible for large scale seafloor imaging campaigns. Three blocking issues were identified; high cost of subsea robots, limited handling efficiency and insufficiently performant localization technology. These are solved by applying, in order:...master thesis 2022

Kouzelis, Antonios (author)Electric vehicles (EVs) equipped with vehicle-integrated photovoltaics (VIPV) and EVs with vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology can support in overcoming power grid challenges emerging from the energy transition. Despite the widespread benefits that VIPV and V2G have to offer, their potential impact on battery life governs their economic viability....master thesis 2022

Li, Zhuoheng (author)Programmers usually write test cases to test onboard software. However, this procedure is time-consuming and needs sufficient prior knowledge. As a result, small satellite developers may not be able to test the software thoroughly. <br/> <br/>A promising direction to solve this problem is reinforcement learning (RL) based testing. It searches...master thesis 2022

van Neerbos, Tom (author)The main objective of this master’s thesis is to experimentally investigate the effects of dynamic inflow conditions on the wake of an actuator disc. Dynamic inflow is the unsteady wake in momentum theory. Dynamic inflow can experimentally be generated by a gust generator. During the experiments, in which Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) was...master thesis 2022

Goswami, Ishan (author)The expansion of urban PV systems brings up the concern that the reflection from PV modules will cause glare to neighbors. In a densely constructed city, glare can occur when you have PV systems installed on the rooftops of low rises where the solar reflections travel to the surrounding high rises. This issue is more detrimental at airports,...master thesis 2022

Firas Sameh Abdel-Karim Al-Share', FIras (author)Research about alkali-activated materials or geopolymers has increased in the past decade as they are regarded as a potential replacement to cement-based materials. This is due to the fact that alkali-activated materials possess several advantages over cement-based materials, and the most important one is that they are more sustainable to the...master thesis 2022

Dijkstra, Kevin (author)Existence of commuting THB-spline projectors is of importance in the field of numerical mathematics. These projectors are required to show that numerical solutions to the abstract Hodge Laplace problem are stable and consistent. We have introduced a local THB-spline projector based on Bezier projection, that commutes in the one-dimensional case....master thesis 2022

Xiao, Jiaqi (author)Due to the continuous expansion of the urban scale, the urban metro transportation system also needs to be constantly updated, especially those cities that need to carry mega-events. Larger carrying capacity, better collaboration mode and more optimized operation mode are required to handle the sudden increase in travel demand. The ever-growing...master thesis 2022
