Rang, Jugo (author)This paper presents a novel approach for the estimation of conditional multivariate cumulative distribution functions (CDFs) within a nonparametric framework. To achieve this, we introduce a binary random variable that indirectly represents conditional CDFs and construct a dataset by pairing input vectors with the binary variables. We developed...master thesis 2023

Kaiser, Alina (author)Global temperatures are rising, and climate change is leading to an increase in extreme weather events such as heatwaves, droughts, floods, storms and fires (WMO, 2022). The increase in unusually hot days and heatwaves is also noticeable in Melbourne, Australia. By 2050, Melbourne is projected to have an annual average of 16 hot days above 35°C ...master thesis 2023

Borren, Noor (author)Introduction: Trauma-induced rib fractures are a common injury, affecting millions of individuals globally each year. Although anteroposterior thoracic radiographs are part of the standard posttraumatic screening, the most sensitive modality, and therefore golden standard for diagnosing rib fractures, is computed tomography (CT). Still, between...master thesis 2023

Lavana Perez, Matthew (author)Urban environments must be prepared to address the impacts of climate change and mitigate its repercussions. The rapidly surging rate of urbanization is expected to instigate significant land use and land cover changes, through expansion and densification of the built environment, on top of urban population growth. The Netherlands, a highly...master thesis 2023

Aguilera Chaves, Mónica (author)Breakwaters are built in coastal zones to alter sediment transport, or protect threatened habitats and port facilities. The rising sea level is causing more water to overtop these structures. Increasing amounts of overtopping discharge can compromise the security of people, or equipment standing on the crest of breakwaters. The overtopping flow...master thesis 2023

van der Poel, Fabian (author)In the early project phase, decisions are made when considering a port basin berth layout that affects the outcome and the success of the project. In order to make a decision regarding the berth layout, port planners create a set of variants for comparison and assessment in order to pick the basin berth layout that suits the project goals the...master thesis 2023

Delval, Mona (author)Food loss and waste (FLW) generation is a global issue that has recently gained an increasing attention. It has previously been estimated that approximately one third of all food globally produced is wasted. Recently, other accounts have been made, for various food products and focusing on various geographical scopes, sometimes disaggregating...master thesis 2023

Dissel, Robin (author)The Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management set up the ERTMS Programme and commissioned ProRail to realize the rollout. In Dutch vernacular, ERTMS is often used, but the system that replaces the legacy dutch system is ETCS Level 2. This rollout of ETCS Level 2 in infrastructure is currently being done on 7 sections of track in...master thesis 2023

Zhou, Wenyu (author)This study evaluates the performance of the CMIP6 models in simulating monsoon rainfall and moisture tracking in the Yangtze River basin. The findings reveal varying degrees of accuracy across different regions of the basin during the monsoon period. Downstream and midstream regions demonstrate higher accuracy, whereas upstream areas exhibit...master thesis 2023

Masouris, Thanos (author)Chess recognition refers to the task of identifying the chess pieces configuration from a chessboard image. Contrary to the predominant approach that aims to solve this task through the pipeline of chessboard detection, square localization, and piece classification, we rely on the power of deep learning models and introduce two novel...master thesis 2023

Þrastarson, Ásgeir (author)Silicon photonics have received more attention in recent years due to further development in CMOS manufacturing methods. The development allows silicon photonics to be smaller than ever before. This leads to smaller silicon photonic devices that can transceive light, which is typically done at a wavelength of 1550nm for silicon photonics. A...master thesis 2023

Garcia de Quevedo Suero, Beatriz (author)Apophis, an Aten-type asteroid, was considered a significant threat to Earth upon its discovery due to its potential impact with Earth in 2029. Although the collision has now been ruled out, Apophis will still perform an exceptionally close flyby of Earth that same year at a distance of 32,000 km from the surface. This event presents a unique...master thesis 2023
