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

van Hees, Simon (author)On July 22nd 2018 the Noord/Zuidlijn, a metro line crossing the city center of Amsterdam, became operative. This entailed a transformation from a direct bus and tram network to a network consisting of a metro trunk line and bus and tram feeder lines. This study explores and uses interoperable smart card data from before and after the Noord...master thesis 2021

van Hooff, Céline (author)Online meal delivery platforms are growing worldwide. Nevertheless, the takeaway business model is currently the major source of plastic packaging waste generation. The alarming growth of plastic pollution leads to action among governments worldwide resulting in single-use plastic bans. A handful of start-ups offer reusable food container...master 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

Duijsens, Remy (author)Digital identity management has been established in a mainly centralized manner. In response to a lack of control in current identity management systems, the concept of Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) was defined to enable decentralization. Recently, this concept gained traction, and several implementations have been proposed. The decentralized...bachelor thesis 2021

Kadiev, Adam (author)The growing significance of microlearning in the context of digital education, higher education and lifelong learning makes it an interesting field for research. Microlearning can be described as learning through small chunks of learning activities which are designed to be concise and focused. In the studied literature, microlearning content...bachelor 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

Lieuw A Soe, Devin (author)With 3D reconstruction from borescope videos of jet engines, inspections can be made more efficient. Being able to reconstruct 3D models of the jet engines potentially contributes to making the inspections autonomous. Methods that will be used for this reconstruction require to be evaluated to ensure the accuracy of the 3D models that they...bachelor 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

Bes, Ruben (author)Many types of database management systems exist, but finding the one that is right for a specific use case is becoming increasingly more difficult. Benchmarks allow one to compare various systems, but in a world where distributed DBMSs are increasingly used for mission critical purposes, we find most existing benchmarks neglect fault tolerance...master thesis 2021

van der Ende, Dieuwke (author)Decision-tree evaluation is a widely-used classification approach known for its simplicity and effectiveness. Decision-tree models are shown to be helpful in classifying instances of fraud, malware, or diseases and can be used to make dynamic, flexible access decisions within an access-control system. These applications often require sensitive...master thesis 2021

van Delft, Selma (author)To be able to solve the increasingly complex problems, governments need to collaborate with various parties. This way of policy development is called interactive policy making. Citizen participation is a specific form of interactive policy making and focusses on involving citizens in the policy making process. A relatively new online...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

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

Maltha, Niels (author)Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage (ATES) is a geothermal technique that is an important component in the transition towards renewable energy in the heating and cooling industry, which accounts for half of the world's energy consumption. However, the technology has not yet been implemented in many countries. The main reason is that extensive...master thesis 2021

Sripathy, Kiran (author)Commercial FSI solvers employ partitioned FSI, wherein CFD and CSM solvers are used sequentially to resolve the coupling of interface displacement and stress/force. For strongly coupled problems, multiple sub-iterations of both the solvers are required for a stable and accurate solution. IQN-ILS framework requires fewer sub-iterations for...master thesis 2021

Heijnen, Tom (author)This thesis explores how the benefits and drawbacks found in previous government-citizen use cases of Participatory Value Evaluation (PVE) translate to a company environment PVE use case. This research is conducted at and with the help of Liander. Liander is one of three energy distribution system operators in the Netherlands. The following...master thesis 2020

Bakker, Paul (author)For real-world problems even the most complex machine learning models can only achieve a certain accuracy. This makes it important to understand why a specific prediction is made. Explanations can provide human decision support by allowing human experts to assess the reasoning of the model as well as the correctness. Specifically, in this thesis...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
