Nanhekhan, Kevin (author)Amidst the rampant spread of misinformation, fact-checking of diverse claims made on the internet has become a pertinent task to mitigate this problem. Manual fact-checking cannot scale up with this demand and is very cumbersome, therefore instead automated fact-checking can be used. However, existing work has primarily focused on the fact...master thesis 2024

Gu, Yajuan (author)In this thesis report, we delve into a contest game within game theory, where agents’ risk-taking capacity, rather than effort, becomes the pivotal variable. High-quality performance in the game is associated with a higher probability of leading to superior scores through the use of risky strategies. The application of this con test game to...master thesis 2024

Aragno, Aris (author)This research attempts to develop a space in the city that, outside of the dynamics of consumption, but not denying the dialogue with the city, seeks to intertwine with its overlaps, by defining the public space of dialogue and representation. On the morbidity of performance and expectation, we might say that the contemporary Utopian intent,...master thesis 2024

Hubers, Martijn (author)The small and lightweight Lunar Zebro rover must survive in the harsh lunar environment for several Earth days following its moon landing. The mission of the rover is to map the radiation environment on the moon. The success of the entire mission depends on the Power Electronic System (PES), which supplies power to all subsystems and charges the...master thesis 2023

Matai, Sagar (author)Abstract—Introduction: Surgical instruments are stored, transported, cleaned, disinfected, and sterilized in instrument sets. These instrument sets have a predetermined fixed size, which means they cannot be stored or transported efficiently when empty or used efficiently for different types of instruments. This report presents the design of an...master thesis 2023

Joseph, Sam (author)In 1987, Brundtland coined the term "sustainable development" to tackle the worldwide issue of environmental deterioration. Subsequent to that, swift progressions in science and technology have resulted in climate change, characterized by a rapid increase in global temperatures. The primary objective of the Paris Climate agreement is to limit...master thesis 2023

van Rooijen, Robbin (author)In the face of urbanization and limited space, traffic management grapples with challenges, especially heavy left-turn volumes at signalized intersections. The pre-signal strategy, proposed by Li et al. (2014), emerges as a promising solution. It involves an additional traffic light upstream of the main intersection, creating a "sorted area"...master thesis 2023
