Sathyanarayanan, Mahalakshmi (author)General anesthesia (GA) is an important medical procedure that induces unconsciousness to patients during surgery. Consciousness is a salient feature of the brain, whose neurophysiological features are difficult to be distinguished from unconsciousness. Though it can be defined as an event arising due to interactions in the nervous system, it...master thesis 2021

De Vocht, Roel (author)An important step in determining the performance of a commercial ship is to determine the vessel fuel consumption in offdesign conditions. In previous studies, the vessel fuel consumption is obtained using machine learning algorithms which use navigational data and meteorological data to train the models. Due to the inaccuracy of the weather...master thesis 2021

PAPAMICHELAKIS, MENELAOS (author)The dynamic behavior of structural components can largely change in the presence of damages. Understanding this behavior is of particular importance for critical engineering systems, and in particular bridges. Damage identification methods forms a key objective in structural health monitoring of bridges so many researches have been conducted in...master thesis 2021

Chün, Jean-Paul (author)The Dutch rail sector is one of the most heavily used rail networks in Europe. It plays a critical role in the domestic transportation of passengers. Disruptions in the operation of one organisation can have a cascading effect on others within the sector. Risk management needs to identify and address these weaknesses to prevent largescale...master thesis 2021

Schoots, Guido (author)The idea for this project was created by two Urologists at the Erasmus MC in Rotterdam. The design goal was to develop a diagnostic device that can be used to measure nocturnal (i.e. nightly) erections. The current device used to measure nocturnal erections was developed in the 1980s. There is a need for a modern tool that can be used in the...master thesis 2021

Rajendra Kumar, Shishir Chandra (author)The TSO of a power system is mainly responsible for ensuring the stability of the grid. Through continuous monitoring and control of the power system, the TSO maintains stability through emergency actions. Until now, the conventional Static State Estimation has been the Energy Management System (EMS) tool for estimating and monitoring the grid...master thesis 2021

Nikam, Maitheli Makarand (author)Solar energy is an abundant, scalable, and clean source of energy. With an exponential drop in prices of PV modules, more and more rooftop photovoltaic (PV) systems are being installed worldwide. Since these small-scale PV systems do not use expensive sensors, it is difficult to detect malfunctions for these systems. This could lead to lower...master thesis 2021

Ouali, Mouad (author)The Dutch infrastructure counts many bridges, the majority of which are built in concrete. These bridges have been designed and constructed according to safety codes. A lot of these bridges date from the previous century and have been designed conform outdated safety codes. Therefore, the main problem<br/>of these bridges is the uncertainty with...master thesis 2021

Bolhuis, Remco (author)An important subject in the research on the behaviour of railway structures is the validation of numerical models by means of in-track measurements. Many forms of track measurements have taken place all over the world, mainly in the sense of strain and acceleration measurements, but a more unexplored area is that of the direct measurement of...master thesis 2021

van der Horst, Tim (author)Software testing is an integral part of the development of embedded systems. Among other reasons, tests are frequently used to ensure that a system meets all the specifications, which is especially important when designing systems for the medical industry. Software changes that have a detrimental impact on a real-time system's performance can...master thesis 2021

Bilbao Nieva, Joaquin (author)Wind turbines are typically designed for an operational life of 20-25 years. The operation of the assets can be extended beyond their design life if structural components have sufficient reserves left. One approach is to monitor fatigue loads and compare these with design assumptions to determine the remaining useful lifetime of the assets. A...master thesis 2021
