Kong, Yiping (author)Nowadays, social interaction is often mediated by technology, which makes it possible for people to interact with each other when they are separated. However, most of these technologies target the interaction between 'weak ties' and they cannot support the naturalness and richness offered through face-to-face interaction. Recently, a new type of...master thesis 2018

Wittebrood, Alex (author)Energy storage systems (ESS) are expected to be one of the main pillars for a future renewable based power system. Since all sectors are electrifying and variable renewable energy (VRE) is being deployed more quickly than transmission and distribution operators are able to connect them to the electricity grid. Flexible capacity on multiple...master thesis 2019

Florescu, Dan-Stefan (author)Radical innovation is a critical source for creating competitive advantage and value for potential customers. However, radical innovation has inherent characteristics that make a radical innovation project difficult to manage, such as: increased generativity – the aspect that describes how radical innovation outcomes are creative and novel,...master thesis 2019

Kholodov, Yaroslav (author)This study investigated the potential of ex-post fare policy evaluation utilising smartcard data. It looked into how to identify and measure the actual outcomes of a policy, define the degree of its success, and even find some unexpected side-effects of high importance. The study is based on a case of the public transport fare policy introduced...master thesis 2019

Ramakrishnan, Pooja (author)In the coming decade, the Dutch government plans to broadly expand its wind farm real estate over the North Sea region. This is a significant undertaking because, from literature, it is understood that wind turbines can affect the local environment. These impacts include, but are not limited to, changes in variables such as wind speed and...master thesis 2019

Bots, Ellis (author)This project report describes the process of the development of an evaluation process for family exhibitions in the Maritime Museum Rotterdam. It is focusing on collecting qualitative feedback from families, consisting out of children between 8 and 12 years old and their parent or grandparents. The Maritime Museum Rotterdam has various...master thesis 2020

van der Hout, J.R.T.E. (author)Image2Speech is the relatively new task of generating a spoken description of an image. Similar to Automatic Image Captioning, it is a task focused on describing images, however it avoids the usage of textual resources. An Image2Speech system produces a sequences of phonemes instead of (written) words which makes the Image2Speech task applicable...master thesis 2020

Kolari, A. (author)Today market success and competitive advantage depends on information, and the proper flow of information using information technologies is critical to maintain competitive advantage. To improve their business processes and networks, organizations need to leverage new information systems/information technologies (IS/IT). These new IT systems,...master thesis 2020

van Arkel, Thomas (author)Our society is facing a number of great challenges which will require all of us to significantly change our lifestyle in the coming years. To support people in those transitions, next to systemic changes, new design interventions have to be crafted that intentionally aim to redirect behaviour for the common good. As changing behaviour...master thesis 2020

van Duurling, Koen (author)E-commerce has grown rapidly worldwide over the past decade and thus more parcels are shipped into urban areas. The last mile delivery of these parcels into an urban area create big problems such as congestion and pollution. In order to tackle these problems new solutions have been found by either changing the operations of the system or using...master thesis 2020

Wiersma, Pau (author)Global hydrological models (GHMs) have become an increasingly valuable tool in a range of global impact studies related to water resources. However, glacier parameterization is often overly simplistic or non-existent in GHMs. The representation of glacier dynamics and evolution, including related products such as glacier runoff, can be improved...master thesis 2021

Buckers, Tim (author)The music information retrieval community has long recognized the need for better evaluation. Frameworks as comprehensive as in the field of text retrieval are missing. An important problem of evaluation for music retrieval is the high cost. This work continues on the proposed low-cost evaluation model. The low-cost model allows for cheap...master thesis 2021

van den Berg, Michiel (author)This work analyses context effect in the evaluation of music similarity performed by human annotators to better understand the impact of context effects in the current annotation protocol of Music Information Retrieval Evaluation eXchange (MIREX). Human annotators are known to be subjective when giving similarity judgements. The Audio Music...master thesis 2021

Nonnemaker, Alec (author)To aid in damage assessment, creating 3D reconstruction from borescope videos of jet engines could be very beneficial. However, jet engines often have shiny and non-textured surfaces, and the performance of 3D reconstruction methods is unknown in this case. This paper aims to qualitatively and quantitatively evaluate Structure from Motion (SfM)...bachelor thesis 2021

Wever, Cas (author)Music indexing, the practice of identifying songs contained in an audio sample, is an approach that is widely used. As an underlying technique, "audio fingerprinting" can be used. In this technique, an audio sample is converted to a fingerprint; a smaller representation of the audio. This fingerprint is compared to a database of fingerprinted...bachelor thesis 2021

Kirschstein, Alex (author)Alternative forms of dwelling, and collaborative housing models in particular, are again gaining an increasing amount of interest in the architectural discourse. Although not a new topic, there is a noticeable lack of research on how existing cohousing projects, that were established decades ago, have developed in practice. Among other counties...student report 2021

Aldea, Anna (author)This master’s thesis reports on the development of a tool intended to support the evaluation of a Human-Machine-Interface (HMI) through the use of Virtual Reality Technology. The project was initiated and supervised by SWOV, the Dutch Institute for Road Safety Research, as part of the MEDIATOR Project, which tackles the challenge of developing a...master thesis 2021

Both, Julian (author)Nitrogen emissions contribute significantly to climate change, especially in the Netherlands around Natura-2000 areas, and one of the main contributors is manure. However, not only does manure usually have high nitrogen emissions, a lot of it is in the form of ammonia, which in itself is very energy-intensive to create. Therefore MEZT developed...master thesis 2022
