Blankenzee, Regino (author)The planning of railway operations is a very complex process, in which timetables and other logistical plans need to be both reliable and robust to effectively prevent and cope with disturbances. However, research in the robustness of initial stabling plans, designed in an earlier planning phase, during the following planning phases, has been...master thesis 2023

Doesburg, Myrthe (author)Natural fractures play a crucial role in many sustainable subsurface applications, particularly in reservoirs with low primary porosity and permeability. Therefore, fracture analysis has become a fundamental aspect of geosciences, often starting with fracture interpretation from borehole image logs. It has been widely recognized that...master thesis 2023

Kim, Sungjin (author)Although automated segmentation of 3D medical images produce near-ideal results, they encounter limitations and occasional errors, necessitating manual intervention for error correction. Recent studies introduce an active learning pipeline as an efficient solution for this, requiring user corrections only on some of the most uncertain parts of...bachelor thesis 2023

Buşe, Florena (author)Thus far the democratization of machine learning, which resulted in the field of AutoML, has focused on the automation of model selection and hyperparameter optimization. Nevertheless, the need for high-quality databases to increase performance has sparked interest in correlation-based feature selection, a simple and fast, yet effective approach...bachelor thesis 2023

den Ouden, Ronan (author)Random walks have been used in a number of different fields for a long time. With the rise of of quantum random walks a lot of these applications have been made more efficient. Recently there have been a lot of improvements in the realization of these quantum random walks in real world systems. <br/>In this research, the effect of uncertainty in...bachelor thesis 2023

Kuiper, Tisja (author)The energy system is changing and is becoming more important in the spatial-economic development of the Netherlands. The current energy planning system is insufficiently equipped to deal with these changes. Therefore transmission and distribution system operators, provinces and municipalities have come together in the process of integraal...master thesis 2023

Jhatakia, Maanav (author)As the impact of climate change becomes increasingly urgent, conflicts over transboundary water resources have become more complex, particularly in light of the role of water in shaping socioeconomic and regional power dynamics. The challenge of optimizing objectives and strategic behavior across multiple stakeholders simultaneously makes it...master thesis 2023

Tunca, Kerem (author)This research has illustrated the abilities of incorporating robust decision making within train maintenance. Both scheduled and unscheduled maintenance processes of the Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS) have been examined, after which exploratory modeling and analysis enabled developing valuable insights for decision makers. Scenario analysis through...master thesis 2023

Makkinje, Andri (author)The goal of radiotherapy is to maximize the dose to the target while minimizing the dose to normal tissue. Treatment plans are optimized for this goal and dose delivery is improved in accuracy and precision. The optimization is based on the delineations of the volumes of interest on the medical images of the patient. The problem is that these...master thesis 2023

Minderhoud, Max (author)The maritime industry faces a lot of uncertainty, and the energy transition has only increased this uncertainty. Ships will probably have to be converted to an alternative fuel during their lifetime and methanol seems to be the fuel with the most potential for offshore ships. By preparing for this, Design-for-Conversion to methanol, the costs of...master thesis 2023

Ammoun, Mohammed (author)Because of the potential consequences of sea level rise, decision-making to set adaptive strategies to handle the uncertainty over these consequences is required. There are several decision-making methods to deal with deep uncertainty and attempt to contain the impacts of sea level rise in organized response as the future unfolds. These methods...master thesis 2023

Versteeg, Stanley (author)Besides global warming, climate change is expected to result in (among others) an increased number of extreme precipitation events and a rising sea level. In the future, this can be the cause for an increased number of high river discharge events in combination with high water levels on the North Sea, which goes hand in hand with an increased...master thesis 2023

Weenk, Thomas (author)Battery energy storage systems (BESS) that are integrated with the electricity grid have proven to be a suitable solution for reducing costs by providing flexible demand, but are often uneconomical when used solely for this purpose. Despite the research efforts showing the benefits of an energy-integrated harbor-area smart grid (HASG), the...master thesis 2023

Das, Barshaleena (author)Sustainability has become a prominent term in policy-oriented research as an expression of what public policies seek to achieve (Kuhlman & Farrington,2010). It has been a developing idea, frequently receiving attention from society, governmental agendas, and the innovative field (Tamak,2017). Organisations are now rapidly taking steps...master thesis 2023

Crooijmans, Bastiaan (author)Climate agreement goals set by the Dutch government increase the urge to reduce our greenhouse gases. To fulfil these goals on a residential level a reduction of the emission of carbon which is produced during household demand and transportation (commute) is required. On a residential level, the amount of photovoltaic systems (PV) and electric...master thesis 2022

Almeida Pignatelli de Avillez, Miguel (author)Quasi-satellite orbits (QSOs) are orbits around the smaller primary in three-body systems. The MMX mission (developed by JAXA, to be launched in 2024) will use QSOs to orbit Phobos, before landing on its surface. This work studies the feasibility of using the invariant manifolds of three-dimensional QSOs for designing landing trajectories, using...master thesis 2022

Trommelen, Joost (author)Sea level variations and storm surges are expected to increase as a result of climate change. 570 cities and some 800 million people are by 2050 estimated to be exposed to these phenomena when emissions do not decrease (UCCRN, 2018). It is, however, deeply uncertain if and to what extent emissions will decrease. Additionally, the effects of...master thesis 2022

Matthieu, Mees (author)On-demand ridesharing might be an effective solution to reduce traffic congestion and, as a result, reduce emissions to mitigate environmental issues. However, travel times are more uncertain in ridesharing services compared to non-shared transit services due to their shared nature. For example, at one moment, the users are informed that the...master thesis 2022

van Tol, Thomas (author)The COVID-19 pandemic has changed travel behaviour and mobility in the Netherlands. It is questioned if the mobility system is subject to long-lasting change in the near and distant future. This study aims to observe the development of mobility impacts over time with a quantitative approach.<br/><br/>Current traditional transport models have...master thesis 2022
