de Goffau, P.L. (author)The growth of traffic densities has increased the concentrations of air pollutants, especially in city centres. Although the natural immune system of the human body can withstand low levels of exposure to air pollutants, exposure to high levels of air pollutants can lead to adverse health effects and even death. These high exposure levels are...master thesis 2017

Oosterhuis, B.F. (author)In event-triggered control (ETC) the control task is only executed when needed to ensure performance or stability. A well known property of ETC is that it can reduce the number of control task executions while retaining similar performance. A large amount of research is focused on how ETC can be used to achieve energy savings in wireless...master thesis 2016

Wang, X. (author)Ambient energy-harvesting technology is a promising approach to keep wireless sensor networks (WSNs) operating perennially. Depending on the harvesting source, nodes can either be active (alive) or inactive (dead) at any instant in such Energy-Harvesting WSNs (EH-WSNs). Thus, even in a static deployment of EH-WSNs, the network topology is no...master thesis 2015
