Rugers, Thomas (author)Magnetic Kinetic Inductance Detectors (MKIDs) are very good radiation detectors which are even capable of single photon detection in the near-infra red and higher frequency range. MKIDs are currently used to detect exoplanets and the goal is to also retrieve information of the atmosphere of exoplanets.<br/>However, MKIDs don’t have the photon...bachelor thesis 2023

Qadriyeh, Ezzat (author)The method of Macaulay utilizes singularity functions to describe discontinuous forces acting on beam structures. This method has been extended to determine internal forces and deformation properties, where the beam is inclined at a certain angle or curved.bachelor thesis 2023

Coffeng, Lotte (author)Cancer is often treated by radiation therapy. There are three types of radiation therapy: external beam therapy, brachytherapy and radionuclide therapy. A downside to radiation therapy is its damaging effect on healthy tissue. A different type of treatment is photodynamic therapy. In PDT photo-active substances are being used to generate...bachelor thesis 2023

van Roessel, Milan (author)In this thesis, wealth distribution in a closed economic system is examined by studying the simple inclusion process (SIP). The simple inclusion process is a model coming from statistical physics that models the jumping of particles in a graph. In the model particles have attraction among each other and each site also has a characteristic...bachelor thesis 2023

Lomans, Gabriël (author)Extremely large telescopes (ELTs) are expected to be one of the most promising astronomical observation instruments when it comes to observing exoplanets. During observations, however, Earth’s atmosphere introduces optical distortion, which needs to be corrected. For this reason, a wavefront sensor (WFS) will be developed that comprises a 100 ⇥...bachelor thesis 2023

Snijders, Hanne (author)In the realm of fluid dynamics and particle transport, the control of particle trajectories represents a formidable challenge. It would be useful to be able to optimally navigate an oceanographic float from one pre-set location to another by solely changing its buoyancy. In this thesis, a first step in discovering whether this is possible and...bachelor thesis 2023

Boomaars, Greetje (author)Understanding the dynamics of bubbles in broth is crucial for various biotechnological processes conducted in bubble columns, such as the manufacturing of cultured meat. In this study, the drag coefficient of individual bubbles ascending in sodium chloride, sodium sulphate, albumin, and egg-white protein solutions was determined. This was...bachelor thesis 2023

Jankie, julia (author)Macaulay's method utilizes singularity functions to describe discontinue forces acting on beam structures. This method has been extended to determine internal forces and influence lines, making use of a single expression. The method can be applied to analyze all possible scenarios for both one-dimensional and two-dimensional constructions.bachelor thesis 2023

van den Biggelaar, Lars (author)Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a respiratory virus capable of infecting humans and causing mild to severe complications during and after infection, which collectively comprise coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). After an initial local epidemic in late 2019, the virus quickly spread on a global scale and was...bachelor thesis 2023

Wigmans, Bram (author)This paper examines whether complex high-dimensional data that describes the dynamics of a cantilever beam can be transformed into a less complex system. In particular, the transformation that is examined is the reduction of the dimension. An essential aspect of this study involves the implementation of a linear autoencoder, which is a type of...bachelor thesis 2023

van den Berghe, Marjolein (author)Geothermal energy can be promising to help the energy transition. Warm water is pumped up from a geothermal well and after it is cooled down, the cold water is reinjected into the hot aquifer underground. The temperature change could cause chemical balances to be disturbed and result in precipitation on the porous medium of the aquifer. This...bachelor thesis 2023

Duffy, jill (author)The Leslie model considers age-specific birth and survival rates to describe how a population size and age distribution changes over time. This thesis investigates the long-term dynamics of the Leslie model for population growth, utilizing mathematical theorems such as Perron-Frobenius, Doeblin’s theorem, and Branching processes. <br/><br/>The...bachelor thesis 2023

Corak, Nino (author)One possible way of proving the famous and important Riemann hypothesis would be to realize the Riemann zeta zeroes as the eigenvalues of some self-adjoint operator, using self-adjointness to show that the non-trivial zeroes all lie on the critical line. This is known as the Hilbert-Polya conjecture. Interpreting such a self-adjoint operator as...bachelor thesis 2023

van der Meer, Fos (author)This report investigates a scheduling problem where task duration is uncertain. The duration per task has a lower and upper bound, and is dependent on observed duration of other tasks. This tries to closer model real life. We reduce all possible different outcomes to a few extreme scenarios. The report compares two types of heuristcs: one which...bachelor thesis 2023

Ahmad, Amna (author)The Bayesian approach is a very important approach for tackling problems in statistics. It involves choosing a distribution that reflects the prior knowledge and thus takes all knowledge into account in contrast to the frequentist approach. It also assumes that the parameters (the regression coefficients) follow a distribution called the...bachelor thesis 2023
