Pronk, Paco (author)This study introduces a novel system that leverages three photodiodes and ambient light to identify air-written characters on a resource-constrained device. Through experimentation, suitable methods of data preprocessing, machine learning and model compression were selected to recognize the first 10 characters of the Latin alphabet. The final...bachelor thesis 2023

de Ruiter, Jop (author)In recent years the global energy demand has rapidly increased and will continue to grow in the next decades. With the growing demand for energy and the international agreement to use more renewable energy, the offshore wind industry is developing rapidly. This causes offshore wind farms to be installed at locations with larger water depths and...master thesis 2023

Zwerver, Zola (author)Environmentalists recently attracted a lot of international attention with controversial actions, including throwing food against famous paintings in art museums. Which is worth more, art or life? The fragility of art is similar to the fragility of the earth itself. But as quickly as the bunch of climate activists appeared in all the newspapers,...master thesis 2023

Kos, Siem (author)Social infrastructure is crucial in repairing the fractured societies of today. Fragmentation of lifestyles has resulted in limited social networks between people from different backgrounds. A robust social infrastructure is critical to provide social connections and prevent friction between social groups, especially in multicultural settings....master thesis 2023

Yüksel, Serhan (author)Occupants are often unaware of window opening strategies that can enhance their well-being and reduce energy consumption. Window feedback systems that indicate when to manually operate a window have become a strategy for enhancing the indoor climate, occupant’s satisfaction and energy efficiency. These systems are recognized for providing the...master thesis 2023

Formidabile, Martina (author)TOP contoured nozzles, with large area-ratios, are commonly employed in rocket propulsion systems as they feature an excellent thrust-to-weight ratio. A significant shortcoming to this design is that, during the startup and shutdown transients of a LRE, the internal nozzle flow progresses through a series of overexpanded flow states - Free Shock...master thesis 2023

Harmankaya, Hüseyin (author)Commercially available Lane Keeping Assist systems fail to consider the driver's intentions since they mainly focus on minimising path tracking errors, resulting in conflicts between humans and automation. This often leads to users being unsatisfactory and turning off the assist, as a result diminishing the advantages such as reduced workload...master thesis 2023

Meijer, Judith (author)European climate goals to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celcius are unachievable in their current form because current green energy technologies needed for the energy transition rely too much on critical raw materials (CRMs). This thesis sought to design something that reduces the negative impact living has on the climate while making...master thesis 2023

van der Leun, Joanna (author)In advanced capitalist societies, nature has become more dependent on human influence. But some species are living in closer proximity than others. Including the Lesser Black-backed Gull. Throughout the 20th century, human activities have led to changes in the environment of this “synanthropic” species, a species living in close proximity to...master thesis 2023

Brummelhuis, Martijn (author)Aerial physical interaction opens the door for many operations at height to be automatised using aerial robots. This research presents a novel manipulator design mounted on a traditional quadrotor, which utilises both mechanical and software compliance to perform physical interaction on vertical walls and overhanging surfaces, such as those...master thesis 2023

Jansen, Tijn (author)This history thesis contains the research question; What are the design principles of the architects H.A. Maaskant, H. Dam and B.F.A. Dirkse, and Van Klingeren for secondary education buildings on the aspect of meeting in the Netherlands during the 1970s? This question is answered via a literature review together with analyses of archival...student report 2023

Ter Heide, Tim (author)The literature about public life is mainly focused on the city as a whole. This research applies the literature about public life to architecture by analyzing two case studies. The design elements of two building in The Spaarndammerbuurt neighborhood in Amsterdam, Het Schip (1921) and The Spaarndammerhart (2020) are related to the literature...student report 2023

van Heest, Martijn (author)Placed block revetments on dikes are used for the protection of the structure against wave loading. The dimensions of the revetment are determined with empirical relations and design tools. The stability of the design solution needs to be checked by physical flume tests to ensure the safety of the structure. However, these tests can be costly...master thesis 2023

Kulane, Suleiman (author)Search engines are used to gather and collect information. This interaction sometimes influences the user and changes their attitude towards a topic after such interaction. Prior work has shown that it is a complex endeavour to understand attitude change, as there are many things that can influence a user during a search session. One of the...master thesis 2023

Xu, Ke (author)The problem of assisting users in comprehending the robotic scenario information in a retail setting has been studied. To design the system, an integrated ontology composed of several IEEE standard ontologies and a labelled property graph (LPG)-based ontology modified from the Web Ontology Language (OWL)-based ontology was proposed to symbolize...master thesis 2023

Fenwick, Kayla (author)Cooking is an essential part of most people’s day-to-day lives. It is a dynamic activity that involves multitasking, timing of tasks, and flexibility. However, the available instruction methods for cooks who wish to follow recipes are quite rigid and linear. This project aims to create a design solution that provides instructions in a way that...master thesis 2023

Tallapragada, Bharadwaj (author)A popular class of methods for solving Fluid-Structure Interactions (FSI) problems computationally are the moving mesh deformation methods. These methods generally involve deforming the fluid domain so that it conforms to the structure as it undergoes changes. An efficient and robust moving mesh technique involves interpolation of displacements...master thesis 2023
