Lenselink, Pieter (author)This thesis explores what it takes to make innovation at ING’s PACE accelerator more effective. PACE is ING’s innovation methodology, combining design thinking, agile working and the lean start-up approach into one whole. Within ING’s corporate accelerator track PACE is used to develop disruptive value propositions.<br/><br/>Case-study research...master thesis 2018

Marcus, Tijs (author)Bicycle helmets reduce the chance of certain injuries such as skull fractures according to various research. However, they are not designed to prevent other injuries such as concussions or traumatic brain injury. This is due to test regulations, which only test for high speed linear accelerations. In reality however, low speed as well as oblique...master thesis 2018

Huang, Kangli (author)The multi-way hash join is one of the commonly used and time-consuming database operations. Many algorithms have been developed to accelerate this operation, some of which use accelerators such as field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). However, most of the previous work was focused on computation-intensive operations such as (de)compression,...master thesis 2018

Baksteen, Rick (author)The acoustics of a space contribute much to the perceived size and atmosphere of the environment. Modeling these acoustics in virtual environments can make a big improvement to the immersion of the player. There are very accurate models that can reproduce realistic acoustics in virtual spaces, but these are computationally very expensive....master thesis 2017

Wiegman, Linda (author)Since the 1950s, numerical models are widely used in reservoir simulators to predict and optimize oil recovery from petroleum reservoirs. Commercial simulators typically combine multiphase porous media flow models with a separate module for the transport of tracers. By decoupling flow and transport, the transport equation can be solved using a...master thesis 2017

Verlinde, Marijn (author)The building industry produces 40% of the total amount of waste in the Netherlands and almost all of this waste leads to landfill loading. This has been the start for this research into a circular biobased composite façade. <br/><br/>The question for building materials is expected to increase in the future and some common used materials impend...master thesis 2017

Henselmans, G.G.M. (author)Problem situation - Global population is expected to double its size in 2030 (EMF, 2013), so will global consumption. Resource scarcity and associated environmental impact has shown that the current way of conducting business is not sustainable (Bocken et al., 2014). A promising alternative is proposed; circular economy. This new economic system...master thesis 2017

Van der Linden, D. (author)An increasing environmental concern and a growing interest of environmentally friendly and renewable materials is driving the growth of the bio-based composite sector. From 2010 to 2020, it is expected that the use of natural fibres as a reinforcement in composites will be doubled. Bio-based composites are already widely applied within the...master thesis 2017

Overwijk, T.T. (author)Static balancing is a technique to create static equilibrium in a mechanism for any configuration. Auxiliary links and many springs are usually added to achieve static balance for spatial parallel mechanisms. This increases inertia and complexity of the system. This paper first presents a theoretically perfect static balancing solution for a...master thesis 2017

Broekens, K.A. (author)Future high-energy physics demands higher magnetic fields to attain higher beam energies and thus needs novel superconductingmaterials in accelerator magnet applications. Current superconductors operate in the temperature range between 1.8 and 4.2 K and attain 8 T in modern operational machines. Meanwhile, prototypes have been built to operate...master thesis 2016

Girardin, V.E.J. (author)The modelling of non-gravitational forces acting on a satellite (especially a GNSS satellite) started half a century ago. Their modelling to low Earth orbiters (LEOs), however, are more recent because of the dominating atmospheric drag, the modelling of which requires the precision of recent atmospheric models. However, this is not an issue for...master thesis 2016

Le, T.N. (author)Prototype single layer armour units on a breakwater slope are observed to break. To predict when breakage occurs, the objective of this research project is to obtain knowledge on, and measurements of the rocking behaviour and failure mode of single layer armour units. A single cube on a breakwater slope is subjected to investigations. An...master thesis 2016

Komen, B. (author)With increasing velocities of trains, passenger comfort starts to play a larger role in the design of railway bridges. There is little experience with the Eurocode passenger comfort criterion in the Netherlands. It is relevant for the industry to have a way to fulfil this criterion, also in an early stage of railway bridge design. A sufficiently...master thesis 2016

Van der Wijst, H. (author)In recent years the use of co-processors to accelerate specific tasks is becoming more common. To simplify the use of these accelerators in software, the OpenCL framework has been developed. This framework provides programs a cross-platform interface for using accelerators. The ?-VEX processor is a run-time reconfigurable VLIW processor. It...master thesis 2015

Van den Bor, J. (author)Image Processing is an emerging field: every year new applications are introduced, and these are pushing the hardware requirements. This thesis looks at the design of a hardware accelerator to accelerate several filters used in Image Processing: 2D Convolution, Census Transform, and Local Binary Patterns. At Intel, these filters are used for...master thesis 2015

Sluimer, A.T. (author)Electrical machines are used more often for many applications. This has caused the number of motors and generators to rise over the years. Reliability of these machines is an increasing demand, for industry relies heavily on the use of these machines. Maintenance is the best option to ensure reliability over the lifetime of these assets....master thesis 2015

Hovenga, M.J. (author)Turbulence distances are a major design criteria in the design of new freeways and the modifications of freeways. In the Dutch freeway design guideline (NOA) turbulence distances are applied to determine the minimal distance between on-ramps and off-ramps to enter and exit the freeway, or to switch from the one freeway to the other, and lane...master thesis 2014
