Kolthof, Roos (author)<b>Background</b><br/>Spasticity is a condition that affects patients who have sustained an upper motor neuron lesion. Such lesions include for example cerebral palsy (CP), of which 35% is affected by spasticity, and stroke, of which 90% is affected by spasticity. Pharmacological therapy often involves the prescription of oral baclofen. However,...master thesis 2024

Heumassej, Yannick (author)This study proposes the novel concept of recycling space debris as a means of supplying material resources for the establishment of a permanent Lunar presence while simultaneously cleaning up Earth’s orbital environment. This expands the scope of traditional debris mitigation efforts, which focus only on removing debris. As a first step, the...master thesis 2024

van Briemen, Ruben (author)Moss covered surfaces are a promising way to mitigate the urban heat island effect. A layer of moss on a building’s façade reduces heat absorption during summer, hence passively cooling the building and its surroundings. The startup Respyre wants to offer such moss layers as a commercial product. A bio-gel mixed with moss fragments is sprayed on...master thesis 2024

Maan, Gijsbert (author)Haptic bilateral teleoperation is a concept where operators can feel, interact with and manipulate objects in a remote environment. The latency, often introduced by a network over a long distance, on force feedback poses a problem when trying to interact with objects. Model mediated teleoperation tries to mitigate this latency, but introduces...master thesis 2024

Kukkola, Max (author)Heterogeneous materials are vital for both the modern engineer and inquisitive scientist alike. They make up a vital material class that can either form inevitably as a result of material processing (such as crystallization in metals) or can be intentionally designed for to gain desirable properties (such as anisotropy in composites). As such,...master thesis 2024

Lodder, Q.J. (author)Globally coasts are under pressure owing to stressors such as human use and climate change. From the 1970s onwards, Integrated Coastal Management gradually emerged as a strategic approach that strives for sustainable integration of the sometimes conflicting interests of human use, natural values and protection against flooding. Developing and...doctoral thesis 2024

Oulad Si Omar, Marouan (author)In this thesis a new efficient model has been developed in the thermal analysis of Laser Powder Bed Fusion, an Additive Manufacturing (or: 3D-printing) method that is used to manufacture metal products. During this process, a laser is used as a heat source to melt metal powder grains to each other, that are solidified when cooled down. In Laser...master thesis 2024

Gielisse, Eveline (author)The study emphasises the importance of understanding individuals' mode choice between train and car to reduce CO2 emissions. It addresses two significant gaps in the existing literature, focusing on the impact of detailed attitudes towards mode use over time and the impact of train travel time components on actual mode use. The study reveals...master thesis 2024

Iacoban, Paula (author)Federated Learning (FL) is a decentralized machine learning approach that provides a privacy-friendly way of training models by keeping the datasets of participating parties private. Some challenges FL faces are the lack of incentives to encourage participation in the learning process, as well as preventing potential cyber attacks that tamper...master thesis 2024

van der Wal, Nienke (author)Introduction- The global incidence of thyroid cancer has risen significantly, prompting the development of innovative surgical techniques. Transoral thyroidectomy offers a scarless alternative, with the transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOETVA) showing promising results. However, CO2 insufflation during TOETVA can lead to...master thesis 2024

Suresh, Aswin (author)Wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) can create large parts, due to its high deposition rate. WAAM can be used to create functionally graded materials (FGMs) such as a strong core of high strength low alloy (HSLA) steel and corrosion-resistant cladding of austenitic stainless (AUS) steel. However, HSLA and AUS steel are dissimilar metals with...master thesis 2024

Walinga, Hielke (author)The behavior of software systems can be modeled as state machines by looking at the log data from these systems. Conventional algorithms, such as L∗, however, require too much memory to process log data when it gets too large. These algorithms must first load all available data into memory, which is often way too much.<br/>The approach...master thesis 2024
