Mathur, Pulkit (author)The construction industry has always been plagued with a high number of accidents and fatalities. The Dutch construction is not an exception in this case and had the highest percentage of workplace accidents among all industries in the national economy, in the year 2019. The high number of accidents and resulting fatalities can be attributed to...master thesis 2020

Marcè Igual, Joan (author)Gang scheduling, has long been adopted by the high-performance computing community as a way to reduce the synchronization overhead between related threads. Gang schedulling allows for several threads to execute in lock steps without suffering from long busy-wait periods or be penalised by large context-switch overheads. If several threads use...master thesis 2020

Vădineanu, Serban (author)With the growth in the complexity of real-time embedded systems, there is an increasing need for tools and techniques to understand and compare the observed runtime behavior of a system with the expected one. Since many realtime applications require periodic interactions with the environment, one of the fundamental problems in guaranteeing...master thesis 2020

Cederhout, Q. (author)Dynamic Time Slot Management (DTSM) is a system often used in online retail to manage the delivery of goods to customers. With DTSM customers arrive over time and place orders. They get presented with a set of time slots and the customer picks the time slot in which he wants the goods to be delivered to his home. A DTSM system creates a time...master thesis 2020

Li, Martin (author), Wang, Wang Hao (author), van Rijn, Cas (author), Lee, Quentin (author)Recent times once more informed us on the relevance of capable online collaborative tools. For our online collaborative XML editor, we have looked into technologies for constrained block editing which, obeying schemas such as with XML, permit on- and offline users or agents to add, delete, copy, move, split and merge blocks of text. To that end,...bachelor thesis 2020

Alers, T.J. (author), Fennema, B.A. (author), van Breukelen, J.J. (author)Laryngectomised people (LP) have many problems with speaking in terms of intelligibility, volume and effort it takes. This thesis describes the design and simulation of a voice enhancement device which will improve the speech of LP with respect to intelligibility and volume. It only describes the chosen hardware peripherals in order to record,...bachelor thesis 2020

van Gelderen, Mick (author)Real-time realistic rendering requires the evaluation of the influence of many light sources. In case of dynamic geometry or light sources, this evaluation must be performed every frame. In this thesis I present enclosed clustering: an adaptation of Clustered Light Shading to stereoscopic rendering which cuts the per-eye cost of light assignment...master thesis 2020

Syed, M.H. (author), Guillo-Sansano, E. (author), Wang, Y. (author), Vogel, S. (author), Palensky, P. (author), Burt, G. M. (author), Xu, Y. (author), Monti, A. (author), Hovsapian, R. (author)Novel concepts enabling a resilient future power system and their subsequent experimental evaluation are experiencing a steadily growing challenge: large scale complexity and questionable scalability. The requirements on a research infrastructure (RI) to cope with the trends of such a dynamic system therefore grow in size, diversity and costs...journal article 2020

Gudi, A.A. (author), Bittner, M. (author), van Gemert, J.C. (author)Remote photo-plethysmography (rPPG) uses a camera to estimate a person’s heart rate (HR). Similar to how heart rate can provide useful information about a person’s vital signs, insights about the underlying physio/psychological conditions can be obtained from heart rate variability (HRV). HRV is a measure of the fine fluctuations in the...journal article 2020

Zheng, Huarong (author), Jin, Chen (author), Luo, Xiling (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author), Wang, Yuexuan (author)The demand for transport between terminals within port areas, known as inter terminal transport (ITT), is increasing. This paper proposes a dynamic rolling horizon scheduling strategy for ITT using waterborne Autonomous Guided Vessels (waterborne AGVs). The strategy is dynamic in that it can handle the dynamically arriving ITT requests and...conference paper 2020

Emmanouil, Stergios (author), Aguilar, Sandra Gaytan (author), Nane, G.F. (author), Schouten, Jan Joost (author)Installation and maintenance strategies regarding offshore wind farm operations involve extensive logistics. The main focus is the right temporal and spatial placement of personnel and equipment, while taking into account forecasted meteorological and ocean conditions. For these operations to be successful, weather windows characterized by...journal article 2020

Wang, Kan (author), Teunissen, P.J.G. (author), El-Mowafy, Ahmed (author)Ambiguity dilution of precision (ADOP) and position dilution of precision (PDOP) are two popular scalar-diagnostics used in Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) positioning. Where the ADOP is a predictor for carrier-phase ambiguity resolution performance, the PDOP is meant to predict the receiver-satellite geometry's capability for...journal article 2020

Liu, Lian (author), Liu, Zhou (author), Popov, M. (author), Palensky, P. (author), van der Meijden, M.A.M.M. (author)HVDC technologies are widely acknowledged as one of solutions for the interconnection of renewable energy resources with the main electric power grid. The application of the latest modular multi-level converter (MMC) makes power conversion much more efficient. Due to the relatively low impedance in a DC system, DC fault currents may rise to an...journal article 2020

Odolinski, Robert (author), Teunissen, P.J.G. (author)The key to precise global navigation satellite system (GNSS) positioning is carrier phase integer ambiguity resolution with a high success rate. On the other hand when the success rate is too low, the user will normally prefer the float solution. The alternative can be to use the best integer equivariant (BIE) estimator, since it is optimal in...journal article 2020
