Agarwal, Sakshi (author)Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS) are envisioned to become a pivotal transformative technology within the realm of 6G mobile networks. In this study, we introduce three heuristic algorithms designed to optimize radio resource management, ultimately enhancing throughput within a RIS-enhanced mobile network. Our findings demonstrate that...master thesis 2023

Belt, Britt (author)As climate change and resource shortages increasingly threaten our planet, the built environment sector is under scrutiny due to its significant contribution to carbon emissions and global raw resource extraction. A transition towards a circular economy, replacing the prevailing "take-make-dispose" model, is crucial. This research explores the...master thesis 2023

de Zeeuw, Nikki (author)This graduation addresses the need to improve living conditions in informal settlements, while also preserving the cultural and social identity of the communities living there. The question of how to improve the living conditions in these settlements while also respecting the cultural and social identity of the residents is a complex one. It...master thesis 2023

Jhatakia, Maanav (author)As the impact of climate change becomes increasingly urgent, conflicts over transboundary water resources have become more complex, particularly in light of the role of water in shaping socioeconomic and regional power dynamics. The challenge of optimizing objectives and strategic behavior across multiple stakeholders simultaneously makes it...master thesis 2023

Romeijn, Noortje (author)Rapid discharge of excess water has always been the core of Dutch water management. Due to climate change, a change in strategy is required. A future-proof drainage strategy consists of three steps: 1) retention, 2) storage, and 3) controlled removal. This thesis comprises the design and evaluation of an algorithm for groundwater-based Model...master thesis 2023

Kemerink, Renk (author)Construction resource management in the Netherlands is causing environmental concerns due to a high demand for infrastructure maintenance and carbon/nitrogen emissions. Insufficient optimization of resource management between projects results in more traffic and higher energy demand, but measures such as linking projects, program management, and...master thesis 2023

van der Steen, Jan (author)On the 13th and 14th of July 2021 a cold pit caused extreme precipitation along with record discharges in tributaries of the Meuse. These discharges caused floods in Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands.<br/><br/>Extreme precipitation occurrence and its intensity are expected to increase in the area due to climate change, increasing flood risk....master thesis 2022

Willard, Tijmen (author)The water quality of the Brantas river in Indonesia is of concern to several agencies on East Java. These agencies all measure its water quality in their own way in terms of locations, rhythms and parameters. The goal of this thesis is to find out if these agencies measure the same and if not, how these measurements differ. From these...master thesis 2022

Mukhopadhyay, Atri (author), Iosifidis, G. (author), Ruffini, Marco (author)The development of Multi-access edge computing (MEC) has resulted from the requirement for supporting next generation mobile services, which need high capacity, high reliability and low latency. The key issue in such MEC architectures is to decide which edge nodes will be employed for serving the needs of the different end users. Here, we...journal article 2022

Svenningsson, P.O. (author), Kruse, N.C. (author), Fioranelli, F. (author), Yarovoy, Alexander (author)Cognitive radar frameworks rely on the ability to quantify and reason on future uncertainty, which allows for the selection of an optimal decision policy. These methods require that the uncertainty estimates provided by the underlying statistical model are well-calibrated, i.e. consistent with true uncertainty. In this work, the utilization of...conference paper 2022

Svenningsson, P.O. (author), Fioranelli, F. (author), Yarovoy, Alexander (author), Martone, Anthony F. (author)In this article, a statistical model of human motion as observed by a network of radar sensors is presented where knowledge on the position and heading of the target provides information on the observation conditions of each sensor node. Sequences of motions are estimated from measurements of instantaneous Doppler frequency, which captures...journal article 2022

van der Heijden, T.J.T. (author), Lugt, D. (author), van Nooijen, R.R.P. (author), Palensky, P. (author), Abraham, E. (author)Participation in demand response (DR) has been explored for many large energy-using assets based on day ahead electricity markets. In this manuscript, we propose the use of multiple electricity spot markets to enable price-based DR for open canal systems in the Netherlands, where many large pumping stations are used for flood mitigation and...journal article 2022

Vande Putte, H.J.M. (author), Jylhä, T.E. (author)Purpose: Since corporate real estate management (CREM) emerged in the 1990s, it has been modelled in many ways. The Delft model views the corporate real estate management function as a coordinator of four distinct accommodation perspectives. Although the model has been used in education and practice for years, there is no consensus on its...journal article 2022

Dreef, H. J. (author), Shi, S. (author), Cheng, X. (author), Donkers, M. C.F. (author), Van den Hof, P. M.J. (author)Identifiability of linear dynamic networks requires the presence of a sufficient number of external excitation signals. The problem of allocating a minimal number of external signals for guaranteeing generic network identifiability in the full measurement case has been recently addressed in the literature. Here we will extend that work by...journal article 2022

Raja, A.A. (author), Grammatico, S. (author)In this article, we consider a sequence of transferable utility coalitional games, where the actual coalitional values are unknown but vary within known bounds. As a solution to the resulting family of games, we formalize the notion of 'robust core.' Our main contribution is to design two distributed algorithms, namely 1) distributed payoff...journal article 2022

Melarkode, Vishwanathan (author)One of the greatest challenges HR professionals face today is the management of a diverse multi-generational workforce. Each generation behaves differently at the workplace and requires different sets of strategies for effective management. Generation-Z or Gen-Z are individuals born in 1995 and after. They are called the 'digital natives since...master thesis 2021

Schöpe, M.I. (author)Recent advances in Multi-Function Radar (MFR) systems led to an increase in their degrees of freedom. As a result, modern MFR systems are capable of adjusting many parameters during runtime. An automatic adaptation of the radar system to changing situations, like weather conditions, interference, or target maneuvers, is often mentioned in the...doctoral thesis 2021

Krul, K. (author)Why do land reforms rarely achieve their desired effects? This dissertation posits that a key to solve this question lies in a closer understanding of the specific workings of property rights. The idea is developed empirically in China’s forest sector, where one of the world’s largest land-reform undertakings in modern times was initiated under...doctoral thesis 2021
