Swart, P.D. (author)In engineering practice there exists no complete classification for pure limestone material. Although there are a number of classification systems, which rely on useful parameters, the problem is that there are no indications of quality regarding the requirements of the various engineering disciplines. In order to develop a classification system...master thesis 1987

Meun, K. (author)Increased technology scaling not only resulted in a performance increase of the microprocessor, but also led to increasing device vulnerability to external disturbances. Scaling accelerates ageing induced failures of CMOS devices and the average lifetime of electronic devices diminishes. This thesis describes the design and implementation of a...master thesis 2015

Kéri, B. (author)The study deals with the investigation of flow structures in groyne fields interacting with the flow generated by navigation. Groynes are traditionally constructed to ensure adequate water depth for navigation, so the interaction of navigation and groyne fields is nearly guaranteed. The Hungarian Danube section – which is part of the 7th...master thesis 2012

Paulissen, R.T. (author)Cerebral palsy (CP) is a physical disorder that affects the development of movement and posture, causing activity limitations. It is the most common physical disability in childhood with an incidence of 2-2,5 per 1000 live born children in the Western world. The Sint Maartenskliniek, department Toddler Rehabilitation, in Nijmegen, offers an...master thesis 2011

Boonzaaier, B.G. (author)Urbanisation trends in developing countries are synonymous with urban informality. This trend and the processes associated with it have a tendency to manifest themselves in a very specific type of socio-spatial structure, which is fundamentally an expression of urban political systems. Within the context of South Africa, and more specifically...master thesis 2014

Fan, Y. (author)This summary provides a brief account of the background, approach, analysis and conclusions of this thesis. Construction is characterized as a high hazard industry which contains a wide range of activities including construction, alteration and/or repair (Michaels, 2010). The organizations involved in construction projects are project owner,...master thesis 2012

Endhoven, L.A.M. (author)This thesis focuses on the properties of (multi-agent) task scheduling instances represented as Simple Temporal Problems (STP). By defining a subclass STP$_{\prec}$ of STPs that contain these task scheduling instances, existing algorithms for arbitrary STPs can be improved if applied to task scheduling STPs, allowing arbitrary schedules and...master thesis 2012

Mahalle, N.A. (author)With the continuous increase in the demand for oil and gas, there is a need for application of novel techniques such as Improved Oil Recovery (IOR) and Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) methods. Most of the secondary recovery processes start with water flooding. However, injecting gas along with water gives higher recovery than water flood alone. This...master thesis 2013

Hichert, M. (author)High rejection rates indicate that prosthetic users are not satisfied with the performance of their arm prostheses. In theory, one of the advantages of shoulder controlled prosthesis, compared to myo-electric prostheses, is that the user gets direct proprioceptive feedback about opening width and pinch force of his prosthetic hand. However,...master thesis 2010

Gadgil, Nitish (author)Increasing CO2 levels in the atmosphere due to over-dependence on fossil fuels is a growing concern. Its alarming impact on global climate has prompted the United Nations (UN) to set up its sustainable goal of carbon-neutrality. Electrochemical reduction of CO2 (ERC) is one of the solutions of carbon neutral cycle, which can be driven by...master thesis 2018

Natarajan, Puja Priyadharshini (author)The main objective of the thesis is to analyze the potential for improving the aerodynamic efficiency of Siemens SGT5-2000E turbine section by optimizing the blade shapes. An adjoint-based shape optimization is implemented at the mid-span of the axial turbine. The optimization is performed, for the stator and the rotor individually, to reduce...master thesis 2018

Jacobs, Bas (author)Antenna design for Ka-band SAR systems used in earth observation missions is demanding for two reasons. A narrow beamshape results in a large aperture, and the frequency band dictates a short spacing between neighboring radiating elements. In our case, this leads to a requirement of more than a million radiating elements. In this thesis it is...master thesis 2019

Boertz, Clemens (author)The shipping industry contributes significantly to the global greenhouse gas emissions due to the use of cheap fossil fuels. The booming cruise ship industry is forced to reduce the emitted greenhouse gases and emission of carbon dioxide to be able to access remote areas with higher restrictions and to comply with upcoming regulations. Fuel...master thesis 2020

Aten, Elsemiek (author)Hyperthermia is becoming a bigger problem with higher temperatures. It has gotten more attention in the news for the upcoming Olympic Games in Tokyo, and for big marathons where this is becoming an increasing problem. Whereas, able-bodied persons are able to dissipate heat by means of sweating, a tetraplegic most likely cannot. When the lesion...master thesis 2020

Ooms, J.C. (author)In this thesis we describe a general framework to determine counterparty credit risk. Interest rates as risk factor will in this framework be generated by a Monte Carlo simulation and described by means of a stochastic model. We describe three equilibrium models that can apply the interest rate simulation. The characteristics of these models on...master thesis 2015
