Gunce, Cem (author)Today's electricity supply falls short of current demands, leading to the utilization of gas turbines in both ground based and avionic infrastructures. Nevertheless, these often rely on carbon-based fuels, resulting in escalating CO2 emissions. However, adopting hydrogen as a fuel eliminates carbon emissions. Aside from zero carbon emissions,...master thesis 2024

Sterkman, Pam (author)Water management is an integral part of Dutch history, driven by the continuous need to reduce flood risk. Because a large area of the country is located below Normaal Amsterdams Peil (NAP), there is an ongoing challenge to safely discharge all the water to the sea. Therefore, flood safety policy has become crucial to protect the Netherlands...master thesis 2024

van Osch, Millen (author)Joint attention is the shared focus multiple people can have on the same object and it is subconsciously used by humans every day. The simple act of verbally or non-verbally pointing out an object to one another, is a form of joint attention. Its use facilitates human cooperation, such as when someone needs to hand over an object to another...master thesis 2023
