Geleijnse, Yuran (author)Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) stands as a widely adopted technique for monitoring displacements on the Earth's surface, providing millimeter-level precision. Several InSAR studies show the efficacy in retrospectively identifying hazardous situations, such as the failure of a structure. The next imperative step is to detect and...master thesis 2024

Jaarsma, Ruurd (author)Echosounders are used to monitor suspended sediment concentrations (SSC) in coastal management studies and to monitor dredge plumes. Due to the dependency on sediment properties like particle size, shape and density, performance of single frequency measurements is limited when sediment properties are changing.<br/><br/>Using multi-frequency...master thesis 2023

Boersma, Jaap-Willem (author)The main motivation for this research originated from two ambitions, which involve many challenges for which circular solutions have to be developed. First, the ambition of the Dutch government to achieve a circular economy, which also includes a circular construction industry, in the Netherlands by 2050 at the latest. Secondly, in line with the...master thesis 2021

Shorachi, Maurice (author)The stress on global food security is expected to increase. Hence, crop and drought monitoring will become increasingly important in the future. Synthetic Aperture Radars (SAR) are able to penetrate clouds and thus reliably provide data. Despite the extensive literature that can be found on the use of high spatio-temporal resolution SAR data, a...master thesis 2021

van der Drift, Maarten (author)One of the world’s biggest concerns is global warming, a solution to this can be wind energy. Offshore wind energy has advantages over onshore wind energy, however, the levelized cost of energy is higher. The maintenance costs are a major cost contributor. To lower these costs, research is performed on faults and its detection. Currently, little...master thesis 2020

van der Lans, Michael (author)To fulfil the new safety standards of the Netherlands against flooding in the future, a great deal of work needs to be performed to prepare the flood defences system, at a quicker pace than is currently achieved. For this reason the HWBP is researching methods which can improve the efficiency of dike reinforcement projects. This thesis was...master thesis 2020

Broere, Sophie (author)Plastic pollution in aquatic ecosystems is a global problem. Rivers transport large quantities of litter from land to the oceans. Plastics of different sizes and properties are widely present at various locations in river systems. Concerning macroplastics, previous studies mainly focussed on floating plastics, however, substantial parts of the...master thesis 2020

Verbeek, Joost (author)It is estimated that about 400.000 houses in the Netherlands – both shallow and wooden pile foundations – could be facing problems with their foundations. Although, house owners are becoming increasingly aware of the fact that problems (and thereby costs) can be prevented if remedial measures are taken in time. Monitoring of the foundation can...master thesis 2019

Wolf, Malte (author)Humanity is facing large scale environmental challenges emerging from the anthropogenic climate change. Greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) are widely considered to be the main driver of the changing climate. With the built environment currently being accountable for about 40% for our total GHG emissions there is a great urgency to act and change our...master thesis 2019

Verkade, Joost (author)Managing credit risk is a vital part of financial institutions. While the research into credit risk models is extensive, transaction data is a relatively untapped data source in these models. We investigate the explanatory value of transaction data for the Bank by developing default classification models for their small medium enterprises (SME)...master thesis 2018

Vicuña Contany, I.V.C. (author)Companion, a monitoring system for safety, health and mobility, which connects the HCP and the patient. The system is composed of two bands connecting the HCP and the patient, a patch for monitoring and a processing component called Abacus. Companion uses multivariate input, SpO2, RR, HR, acceleration, movement and location to look for several...master thesis 2016

Oikonomidis, P. (author)This thesis is focusing on the building damage parameters monitoring techniques and the validation of the current damage prediction methodology on building response next to deep excavations. Settlement risk assessments were done in Delft tunnel project to define and control the risk of damaging the adjacent buildings to the tunnel by following...master thesis 2015

Van Waning, H.W. (author)The last years have seen a few severe cases of structural damage to buildings in the Netherlands. A recent case was the shopping mall ‘t Loon in Heerlen. It would be beneficial if structural failures could be avoided, or at least be predicted. New satellite technology, Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR), proves that it is possible...master thesis 2014

Gourov, V.N. (author)Network monitoring is becoming more and more important as more Internet Service Providers and Enterprise networks deploy real-time services, like voice and video. Network operators need to have an up-to-date view of the network and to measure network performance with metrics like link usage, packet loss and delay, in order to assure the quality...master thesis 2013

Avramescu, D.I. (author)The number of wireless sensor networks is constantly increasing. In the deployment phase of the WSNs projects it is common for failures to appear. These can be caused by software or hardware faults or by environmental factors. In order to find the source of these problems, the WSN needs to be inspected. Since the deployments of WSN are often...master thesis 2012

Boullenger, B. (author)Seismic Interferometry (SI) with ambient noise is a recently developed method for subsurface imaging that involves cross-correlating ambient noise from passive seismic data to reveal the earth’s reflection response. Based on this technique, TNO aims at developing a methodology for efficient monitoring of CO2 geological sequestration in Carbon...master thesis 2012

Deen, G. (author)We have identified three fundamental monitoring dimensions for the maintenance and evolution of Maritime Safety and Security Systems, which are representing a class of systems that are required to be continuously online. The monitoring dimensions consist of: 'services', 'users' and 'time'. As traces crosscut these dimensions, we are interested...master thesis 2012

Van den Berg, R.L.J. (author)Buildings must be designed to meet horizontal deformation and vibration requirements when loaded by a wind force. These requirements can be governing in the design of the load bearing structure of a high-rise building. The structure can be optimized by describing and analyzing its dynamic behaviour. Information on damping is required to...master thesis 2012
