Uppenkamp, Gijs (author)Offshore wind farms are increasing in size and moving further from shore. Service operation vessels (SOVs) are used for offshore wind operation and maintenance (O&M) at these large far offshore sites. These large vessels typically have a smaller daughter craft (DC) on board that can assist them. This DC is however too small to provide the...master thesis 2024

Windrich, Silas (author)This thesis explores the influence of spirituality from the Dutch East Indies on Dutch architecture from 1890 to 1920. It investigates the interplay between Eastern spirituality, particularly through theosophy, and architectural theory, focusing on key figures like K.P.C. De Bazel and J.L.M. Lauweriks. Through an analysis of influences from the...student report 2024

Chin-A-Pauw, Laurens (author)In this thesis, we aim to improve the application of deep reinforcement learning in portfo- lio optimization. Reinforcement learning has in recent years been applied to a wide range of problems, from games to control systems in the physical world and also to finance. While reinforcement learning has shown success in simulated environments (e.g....master thesis 2024

Pham, Kim (author), Heijl, Merel (author), Lai, Madeline (author), Everaars, Luke (author), Pomp, Laurens (author), de Waaij, Yvar (author)In Vietnam, the fishery sector is vital for the economy. The government strives towards an increase in fishing activities in the coming years. The Quy Nhơn port, a key hub in central Vietnam, is set to accommodate more international vessels. This means local fishermen must rely on other ports like Đề Gi, which also needs upgrading to meet...student report 2023

Souroosh, Raha (author)By approaching the research from an user's perspective, De Bogaard in Rijswijk has been redesigned in order to attract pioneers that will aid in reigniting the attraction of the shopping mall. It has been partly refunctioned, in order to blow life into the area and stimulate the community. The new design focuses on the first phase of the...master thesis 2023

Kassels, Sander (author)The global ever growing energy demand, quest for renewable alternatives for fossil fuels and desire to reduce dependency on single countries has driven the increasing demand for offshore wind energy production. The advancing technologies that enable offshore wind turbines to gain efficiency go hand in hand with increasing sizes of components and...master thesis 2023

Schuring, Roman (author)A monopile installation project consists of the whole process of loading monopiles to vessels, transporting monopiles to the wind farm and drilling monopiles in the seabed. Each installation project has different characteristics as the weather at the installation location, the distances to the suppliers and the vessels that are available differ...master thesis 2023

Kapoor, Rushil (author)The thesis aims to investigate the role of the built environment with the help of design elements, in promoting mental health among young adults. The study will focus on how architectural design choices can contribute to- wards normalization and de-institutionalisation of mental healthcare facilities for the youth. The academic paper aims to...master thesis 2023

Ter Heide, Tim (author)The literature about public life is mainly focused on the city as a whole. This research applies the literature about public life to architecture by analyzing two case studies. The design elements of two building in The Spaarndammerbuurt neighborhood in Amsterdam, Het Schip (1921) and The Spaarndammerhart (2020) are related to the literature...student report 2023

Lageschaar, Joey (author)This work aims to infuse theoretical knowledge of queer space to further the understanding of the history of luxury retail stores. It analyses certain spaces of a metropolis inconspicuously connected to the history of fashion, by taking three Parisian boutiques of influential designers in the belle époque as examples of the origin of maison de...student report 2023

Ureña Baltierra, Gerardo (author)Mimetic formulations, also known as structure-preserving methods, are numerical schemes that preserve fundamental properties of the continuous differential operators at a discrete level. Additionally, they are well-known for satisfying constraints such as conservation of mass or momentum. <br/><br/>In the present work, a Mimetic Spectral Element...master thesis 2022

Eggink, David (author)The effects of standardization on entrepreneurship are a research field for which a lot still needs to be done. In particular, there is little research into the adoption of de jure standards by entrepreneurs. These standards are the product of committee-based standardization, which is when committees consisting of stakeholders that are related...master thesis 2022

Popa, Vlad (author)In an attempt to find alternatives for solving partial differential equations (PDEs)<br/>with traditional numerical methods, a new field has emerged which incorporates<br/>the residual of a PDE into the loss function of an Artificial Neural Network. This<br/>method is called Physics-Informed Neural Network (PINN). In this thesis, we study dense...bachelor thesis 2022

van Tatenhove, Rick (author)In this report a new enriched finite volume method is introduced. This method will be particularly useful for fluid-structure interaction problems. In engineering many problems are in the domain of fluidstructure interaction. Examples of these are water in sea locks, blood flowing in vessels and sailing ships. Fluid problems are usually solved...master thesis 2022

Bolhuis, Thirza (author)Layman Summary<br/>The goal of this paper is to study how waves move over a fluid in with an underlying current. Oceans displace debris and heat. Ocean models can be used to predict the movement of debris and even predict the effect of the movements of oceans on the climate. Modeling water can be improved by introducing more information from...bachelor thesis 2022

Stewart, Kayleigh (author)Over the past decades the act of play has taken on an ever-decreasing form of<br/>importance in society. This not only leads to the absence of its accompanying<br/>architecture, but also to more boring, uniform and hollow spaces. With the ambition of designing for the homo ludens of today, research was first carried out into the characteristics...master thesis 2022
