Böhm, Dennis (author), van Kooten, Bram (author), Franken, Dylan (author), de Gans, Govert (author), Musters, Bas (author)Most courses in the Computer Science Bachelor at the Delft University of Technology make use of lab sessions. During these lab sessions students can ask questions about course material and get feedback on their assignment. Moreover, their knowledge about assignments can be orally tested. In order to properly help the students, teaching...bachelor thesis 2020

Tramontina, Gino (author)Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Functions, BRDFs, describe the reflectance of light on a ma-terial, and are widely used in computer graphics to render materials. Acquiring a full measured BRDF can be costly and time consuming, so this research aims to answer the question ”How can we approx-imate a full BRDF from a single slice (in-plane...bachelor thesis 2023

Struijk, Casper (author)This research proposes a new algorithm for mapping Normal Distribution Functions to Heightfields in order to answer its research question: ”Given an NDF, how can we generate a corresponding Heightfield using simple optimization algorithms?”. This research is important, as it helps us to gain a better understanding of how limited statistics-based...bachelor thesis 2023

Furer, Lucas (author)The micro detail on surfaces can have a profound effect on how rays bounce of it. In ray tracing, this micro-surface is normally approximated with statistical models. We wish to figure out what the effect of normal interpolation and Phong tessellation is on how rays reflect on the surface. This has been Done by creating a ray tracers from...bachelor thesis 2023

Ruijs, Marc (author)Creating photorealistic images is one of the ultimate goals of computer graphics. Previous work has shown that a material's microstructure plays a crucial role when trying to achieve photorealism. This is because a material's appearance depends on the roughness of its microstructure. Due to this dependence, effects such as masking and shadowing...bachelor thesis 2023

Vlaar, C. (author)Cities strive to move towards a more sustainable city. In the process of energy transition in the built environment, moving from usage of fossil fuels towards renewable energy is the process obstructed which results which result in little or no action. This research will focus on several cases in Europe and analyse the cases with a focus on its...master thesis 2016

Lin, H. (author)Nowadays, many Chinese cities like Shenzhen are experiencing intense spatial transformation. Downgrading neighbourhoods are being replaced by high-end housing, shopping malls and office in order to promote economic growth. The former socialist public housing is one of the redevelopment hot spots. However, such land-based development focuses on...master thesis 2014

Huls, Frederique (author)The use of citizen participation in urban regeneration projects in Western European cities is increasing. Particularly in Amsterdam, participation with regards to regeneration projects is stimulated by the city government. Although the literature shows that not all such participatory processes are of value to citizens, there is a lack of...master thesis 2022

Van Enk, C.E.W. (author)A transforming world The world is transforming as geographical locations are becoming less important as communication and transport facilities are expanding their domains, becoming increasingly efficient. The trend is clear; nations are opening their doors for people, trade, and knowledge in order to get involved in the world economy. We are now...master thesis 2011

Kirchert, J. (author)The amount and size of the Olympic facilities have outgrown the needs of host cities. most Olympic venues cannot be used after the event and maintenance is extremely expen- sive. Therefore cities cannot optimally benefit from the catalysing effect that mega-events, such as the Olympics, can have on host cities. An over-production of sport venues...master thesis 2014

Salma Khaled Hussein Elrouby, Salma (author)Orthodox economic models often linked the size of cities to their economies. However, this changed through the last quarter of the 20th century; cities grew bigger, side by side to unemployment, inflation and falling wages and productivity (Davis, 2006). In Egypt, urban migration was considered the root of the city’s density. In the seventies,...master thesis 2020

Verhoef, J.B. (author)The research sets out to study strategic behaviour in a post-disaster recovery period for long-term development that integrates communities that previously have been ignored. In a broad sense, the aim of this study is to gain a better understanding in how non-governmental organizations (NGOs) can set a community-based legacy in a recovery period...master thesis 2012

Chen, W. (author)When an architecture firm decides to enter a foreign market, an entry strategy needs to be adopted. This paper adopted cross-case study analysis by interviewing Dutch architecture firms and their Chinese counterparts to figure out the motivation of Dutch firms to enter Chinese market and the entry strategies which are adopted. It is found that...master thesis 2013

Spek, Mike (author)The first part of this thesis investigated different pre-treatment methods of the fine glass dust in order to increase the reactivity when it was used as a cement replacement in cementitious mixtures. The results showed that the optimal pre-treatment for the fine glass dust was a heat-treatment at 600∘C for 1 hour combined with a grinding...master thesis 2022

Steen, K.Y.G. (author)In recent years the concept of mixed-use has emerged as a popular planning tool for urban planners to develop sustainable urban areas. With reason, because a clear positive relationship between function mix and urban sustainability in social, environmental and economic sense can be established from research. In practice however, we see that the...master thesis 2016
