Kense, Jasper (author)Our society is built around a financial system that includes debt. It is a classic saying that anyone can end up in debt, but it is how we treat those with debt that defines their well-being. With the current financial system, we are prejudicing a part of society, making an already vulnerable group even more prone to debt.<br/><br/>We have...master thesis 2022

Kothandaraman, Hrishi Narayanan (author)Nowadays, recent Integrated Circuit Technology demands a minimum metal fill inclusion across the entire die of each functional layer to have uniform planarity. It is challenging to numerically simulate the real structure using Electromagnetic (EM) solvers because the mesh size of an EM solver is inversely proportional to the number of vertices...master thesis 2022

te Nijenhuis, Frank (author)The efficacy of endovascular therapy in large vessel occlusion (LVO) of the anterior circulation is dependent to a high degree on the selection of patients who are likely to benefit from this procedure. To this end, functional outcome prediction based on clinical parameters is an active area of research. In the preoperative screening of LVO...master thesis 2022

van der Geest, Casper (author)Acid-gas capture systems are used to remove acid-gasses from waste gas streams from combustion or other chemical processes. A commonly used solvent is an aqueous solution with the primary amine monoethanolamine (MEA). Removing the acid gasses typically involves heating the solvent to approximately 378-383K in the stripping reactor. Using...master thesis 2022

Middelkoop, Sanne (author)This paper describes a real-time energy management system developed for a solar park in the Netherlands using an alkaline electrolyser. The optimization problem is split into a two-step optimization, taking into account the specifications of the electrolyser and allowing the electrolyser to respond to changes in the imbalance market. The first...master thesis 2022

Brunink, Soesja (author)Nature-based Solutions (NbS) have recently gained more interest in hydraulic engineering. It is based on the concept of using forces of nature rather than working against them. In addition, it focuses on using natural processes to fulfil co-benefits for the parties involved. <br/>One of the parties involved is nature. However, a quantitative...master thesis 2022

Wang, Wang Hao (author)Current speed of data growth has exponentially increased over the past decade, highlighting the need of modern organizations for data discovery systems. Several (automated) schema matching approaches have been proposed to find related data, exploiting different parts of schema information (e.g. data type, data distribution, column name, etc.)....master thesis 2022

Driessen, Fabian (author)Extensive electrification of the inland shipping sector is necessary to achieve the EU goals to be climate neutral and increase inland shipping by 50\% by 2050. This requires a thoughtful and large-scale roll-out of new charging stations layouts, for ships with relatively high and largely varying energy demands. Current approaches for optimal...master thesis 2022

Boekel, Mark (author)A new intense positron beam lifetime spectrometer is being developed at the Reactor Institute Delft that should be able to perform positron lifetime measurements with depth profiling. The positrons are generated by pair formation using high energy gamma-photons from the Hoger Onderwijs Reactor. This new positron lifetime spectrometer has a...master thesis 2022

Niehaus, Anya (author)Pistons for reciprocating compressors for industrial applications are often made of specialised materials. These prove to have problems with manufacture due to the high quality and short production times needed in combination with a low production volume per design. Additive manufacturing, specifically selective laser melting, could solve the...master thesis 2022

Rang, Thijs (author)Urban living has many advantages but also has its fair share of issues. This thesis tries to indicate the urban issues that can be solved by implementing vertical green systems (VGS). A literature review is undertaken, and expert interviews are held to examine socio-ecological criteria. The criteria heat stress, air pollution, water stress,...master thesis 2022

Haasjes, Corné (author)Ultrasound imaging is an important modality in ocular oncology, allowing for fast examination of the eye by the ophthalmologist themselves. It is clinically used to measure tumour sizes for treatment planning. However, ocular ultrasound is limited to two-dimensional imaging, and suffers from poor contrast between tumour and sclera, which...master thesis 2022

Pfeiffer, Marijn (author)To overcome the problem of wave-induced vessel motions on the crane tip, technologies have been developed to compensate for these motions. Most vessels nowadays, are equipped with dynamic positioning systems, these systems reduce the yaw, surge and sway movement of the vessel. This leaves, the motions roll, pitch and heave uncompensated. To...master thesis 2022

Castellino, Francesco (author)One of the main cost drivers of an offshore wind power plant are the support structures of the wind turbines, it is therefore of primary importance to optimize their design. Among the support structures available, the concept most widely adopted is the monopile-based support structure, whose design is often fatigue-driven. Offshore structures...master thesis 2022

van Ginkel, Manon (author)The Circular Economy (CE) has emerged as an economic paradigm that could provide a pathway to sustainable development. The transition to a CE is a complex process requiring wide multi-level and multi-stakeholder engagement, which can be facilitated by appropriate policy interventions. As value retention processes in the CE require additional...master thesis 2022
