Brabander, Jesper (author)Automation within an industrial sector has now for years been an obvious factor. Everywhere mechanical instruments and sensors are implemented for fast and precise processes. The agricultural sector is some steps behind in relation to other sectors. Reason being that there are many irregularities which in other sectors have been made into...master thesis 2023

Spek, Deanne (author)The national and international healthcare systems are in a transition. The healthcare problems of the future ask for doctors who can deal with complex challenges, connect to their patients, support societal health, have skills for lifelong learning, and take care of themselves (Lemmens et al., 2019; Nooteboom et al., 2020; World Health...master thesis 2023

de Gooijer, Matthijs (author)Policy making and the decision-making process has developed over the past decades to include more (scientific) evidence to support policy construction, such as the Cost-benefit Analysis or Environmental Impact Analysis. However, depending on the perspective of the policymaker as well as the evaluator, successful policies outcomes may be...master thesis 2023

Slebioda, Marek (author)Offshore wind turbines have seen a significant increase in size over the past decades. A critical consequence of this increase in size is a substantial increase in the torque transferred from the wind turbine rotor. This leads to the necessity of larger and heavier drivetrains to adhere to structural failure requirements and subsequently to...master thesis 2023

de Cocker, Emma (author)The island of Lamu is a part of an archipelago in Kenya’s southeast. In comparison to other parts of Kenya and the rest of the globe, it is a remote and rural area where residents do not have the same access to contemporary educational materials. The Kenya Red Cross Society’s IOMe005 Innovation Hub attempts to combat these disparities by...master thesis 2023

Botor, Justyna (author)A significant part of composite concrete viaducts was built in the 50s and 60s. This has led to an increasing need for the reassessment of the precast concrete beam bridges in the Netherlands. Many of those bridges are nowadays subjected to higher traffic loads and consequently, have a certain risk of not complying with the currently used design...master thesis 2023

KONG, RAN (author)In Dutch primary care, there is a dilemma that needs to be solved: caregivers using different digital platform in information system (DPIS) have difficulties in transferring necessary medical information. Although DPIS, as an emerging technology, assists in the decision making, coordination and control that occurs in the organizational...master thesis 2023

Verburg, Dylan (author)On the 14th of July 2013, a methane peak was observed in the Gale crater. This methane peak has been investigated in a non-biological context before. This study applies exoplanet research strategies and knowledge about biological methane production on Earth to investigate the biological context. Bayes formula is the foundation of the Bayesian...master thesis 2023

Mur Uribe, Pol (author)This thesis introduces a new method, called Mixed Iteration, for controlling Markov Decision Processes when partial information is known about the dynamics of the Markov Decision Process. The algorithm uses sampling to calculate the expectation of partially known dynamics in stochastic environments. Its goal is to lower the number of iterations...master thesis 2023

A Multi-Objective Optimization Model for Offshore Wind Farm Operations & Maintenance Fleet SelectionBloothoofd, Jesse (author)Until recently, tenders in Europe were awarded to wind farm developers based on the highest auction prices or the lowest subsidized bids. The wind industry has suggested that non-price-related criteria should be considered for tenders, like plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. As a result of the sustainable tender criteria, greenhouse gas...master thesis 2023

van Herwerden, Thijs (author)Fiber reinforced composites have been increasingly used in the aerospace and automotive industry, due to their potential advantages for designing flexible, strong and lightweight structures. More recently they are also being considered for the manufacturing of marine propellers. Since they have the potential to lower the weight, lower the...master thesis 2023

Lemaire, Chris (author)For algebraic effects and handlers, we know both small-step and big-step operational semantics and we are familiar with denotational semantics. But, what is missing is a structured showing that one is equivalent to the other. On top of this, most efficient implementations of algebraic effects and handlers closely resemble their denotational...master thesis 2023

Sigurðsson, Snorri Þór (author)Regular maintenance of civil engineering structures is essential for their safety. Current maintenance regimes involve periodic inspections at regular time intervals. In the time between inspections, there can be a critical development in the structural integrity of a structure, which can be expensive to repair or could even lead to structural...master thesis 2023

Nollen, Jacco (author)Strict regulations for carbon emissions from ships are introduced by the IMO and the EU. Various emission mitigation measures and low-emission fuel strategies provide solutions to reduce carbon emissions. This paper compares emission mitigation measures and low-emission fuel strategies for short-sea ships, within the constraints of regulatory...master thesis 2023

Hall, Alize (author)A method to help renewables flourish is mitigating the variability that is inherent in natural resources. To do so, we explore the intricacies of the relationship between airborne wind (AWE) and solar energy to uncover the possibilities of future energy-generating hybrid power plants (HPP). Which leads to steering away from fossil fuel reliance,...master thesis 2023

Kanis, Job (author)The introduction of cloud hosting has made it possible to elastically provision distributed stream processing systems (SPEs). By dynamically scaling the different operators of the system, resource consumption can be minimised while meeting the system service-level objectives. In the literature, many different auto-scaling techniques are proposed...master thesis 2023

WANG, Junjie (author)AC-coupled amplifiers (ACCA) offer lower noise than traditional resistor feedback amplifiers, which benefits signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for audio applications. Due to the DC isolation of the capacitor, a feedback resistor is needed to set the virtual ground of ACCA’s amplifier. However, an external feedback resistor raises system noise and...master thesis 2023
