van Doorn, E.C. (author)The main challenge of operators working with complex information systems is to gain sufficient situation awareness (SA). In this research project, we developed an analysis scheme to support a holistic study of SA. This analysis scheme was complemented with a method to process cognitive task analysis and observational research data to identify...doctoral thesis 2018

Nieuwenhuijse, Lennart (author)A popular strategy in structural dynamic modeling is breaking the structure down into separable, manageable substructures. By doing so, one can choose the most efficient way of modeling the substructures, before synthesizing the full system model. This method is known as Dynamic Substructuring (DS). One method of DS, is Frequency Based...master thesis 2018

van het Hooft, Thijs (author)The Sand Engine was constructed in 2011 with the main goal to enhance the natural dune growth. It is the first mega nourishment in the world comprising of 21.5 Mm<sup>3</sup> of sediment. There is a large difference between the predictions of the dune growth (25 ha in 20 years) and the actual measurements (1 ha in 4 years). Therefore a more...master thesis 2018

van Riet, Michel (author)The formation of NOx in diesel engines is heavily influenced by the amount of available oxygen and the combustion temperature. This thesis investigates the effects of the implementation of exhaust gas recirculation on the NOx emissions of a 4-stroke marine diesel engine. With EGR implemented a part of the fresh intake air is replaced by exhaust...master thesis 2018

Giordani, Alessandro (author)The last decade saw the rise of e-commerce trade and the shift of the manufacturing industry to the emerging economies, China first of all. In this context, the European Customs Authorities experienced an explosion of small parcels coming from e-commerce websites, often from China, and faced difficulties to detect fiscal frauds and security...master thesis 2018

Tanmay, Tanuj (author)The models with different fidelities for the siloed application of niche wind farm disciplines - rotor aerodynamics, aeroelasticity or wake aerodynamics - are prevalent in literature. These models are often used sequentially while designing a wind farm that may lead to a sub-optimal design due to their agnosticism towards the inter-disciplinary...master thesis 2018

de Vries, Anne Mathilde (author)Currently, the only effective treatment for end-stage liver diseases is liver transplantation. However, the waiting list with patients who are in need of a new liver is long, because too few good-quality donor livers are available. New techniques in the field of tissue engineering are being investigated to create a reconstructed liver, which...master thesis 2018

Oudshoorn, Remco (author)Virtual Reality (VR) is a hot topic; some argue that VR causes a computing revolution as impactful as the smartphone. The infrastructure industry recently adopted VR as a tool in the stakeholder process. This thesis defines Virtual Reality as a three-dimensional virtual environment in which one can interact. VR is applied in several projects...master thesis 2018

Mao, Mao (author)Seaports are important maritime commercial facilities and key hubs for national and global trades. There is a growing need for seaborne transport and, hence, seaport facilities, especially in emerging economies due to economic and population growth, such as in Africa. In sedimentary environments, port construction may induce coastal impacts...master thesis 2018

Mehmood, Umair (author)A first step in designing aircraft with optimal sound is the development of a module that is able to assess noise in a sophisticated way, which is the exact goal of this research. In this research the Audio Assessment Module (AAM) is completed with the addition of tonality, roughness and fluctuation strength. The AAM is now able to assess sound...master thesis 2018

van der Bok, Kees (author)The increasing transistor density of Integrated Circuits (ICs) ever since their introduction, has scaled the computational performance of microprocessors. As a consequence of the gain in transistor density, the power dissipation density has also increased to a degree that has become a limiting factor in further performance scaling. The prevalent...master thesis 2018

Nash, Michael (author)The rapid growth of the PV industry has meant that prices have been falling steeply, making them more accessible for a wider range of applications. The combined use of noise barriers as energy generating facilities, usually coined as PVNBs has been occurring since the late 80’s. It has not realised wide spread implementation, remaining mostly in...master thesis 2018

Wouterlood, Bob (author)With the arrival of the Eurocode, the calculations regarding shear resistance, have become increasingly conservative compared to former concrete standards. For example in Voorschriften Beton 1974 (VB 74), a former concrete standard, a shear resistance combination of concrete, stirrups and prestress was allowed. Whereas the Eurocode assumes the...master thesis 2018

Cleintuar, Nick (author), van der Krieken, Justin (author), Mahabier, Jamy (author)Grading can be a very time-consuming activity for teachers. For this reason, numerous tools exist to aid teachers in grading. One of these tools is Zesje, a web application that allows electronic grading of paper-based exams. A major drawback of Zesje was that teachers were required to create their exams with LaTeX, a popular document...bachelor thesis 2018
