Koopmans, Jaap (author)According to the Rijksinstituut voor Volksgezondheid en Milieu (RIVM), there will be more focus on tackling the unhealthy effects of urbanization in the near future. This together with the presence of a large stock of vacant buildings and other developments within these urban areas and the challenges which are formed by the developments in...master thesis 2023

Boekee, J. (author), Dai, Y. (author), Schilperoort, B. (author), van de Wiel, B.J.H. (author), ten Veldhuis, Marie-claire (author)To mitigate spring frost damage, fruit farmers use wind machines to mix warm overlying air down to the vegetation. Up to this point, studies on wind machine efficiency have focused on air temperatures. The temperature of different plant organs during operation remains unknown, while critical for the actual degree of frost damage. With...journal article 2023

Gonzalez Silva, J. (author), Ferrari, Riccardo M.G. (author), van Wingerden, J.W. (author)As renewable energy sources such as wind farms become dominant, new challenges emerge for operating and controlling them. Traditionally, wind farm control aims to dispatch power set-points to individual turbines to maximize energy extraction and, thus, their usage as assets. Yet, grid balance and frequency support are fundamental in presence...journal article 2023

Kok, Sjaak (author), Amoozandeh, A. (author), Radaelli, G. (author)Elastic structures that can deflect without springback, known as neutrally stable structures, form a remarkable group within their field, since they require the energetic state to remain unchanged during elastic deformation. Several examples in the literature obtain this state of neutral stability by the application of pre-stress, either as a...journal article 2023

Schouhamer Immink, Kees A. (author), Weber, J.H. (author)We present and analyze a new construction of bipolar balanced codes where each codeword contains equally many -1's and +1's. The new code is minimally modified as the number of symbol changes made to the source word for translating it into a balanced codeword is as small as possible. The balanced codes feature low redundancy and time...journal article 2023

Bahgat, T.M.S.M. (author), Wilfert, P.K. (author), Korving, Leon (author), van Loosdrecht, Mark C.M. (author)The study evaluated the combined phosphorus, nitrogen, methane, and extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) recovery from aerobic granular sludge (AGS) wastewater treatment plants. About 30% of sludge organics are recovered as EPS and 25–30% as methane (≈260 ml methane/g VS) by integrating alkaline anaerobic digestion (AD). It was shown that...journal article 2023

Sinha, Pooja (author)Global electricity usage has been increasing exponentially over the last 40 years and with the current pace of population and economic growth, the same trend will continue in the coming years. However, the current electricity generation is predominantly fossil fuels based, which makes the overall process unsustainable and polluting, and is...master thesis 2022

Estrada, Daniela (author)According to the WHO, falls are responsible for over 38 million disability-adjusted life years lost each year, globally. Additionally, an estimated 684.000 individuals die of falling each year, making it the second leading cause of unintentional death. One of the most effective physical activity interventions to reduce the risk of falling, is...master thesis 2022

van Nes, Sjors (author)In this work, the possibilities to approach various nonlinear moment-angle characteristics with a kinematically indeterminate rigid body balancer with torsion springs are examined. These torsion springs are mounted on the axes that intersect the rigid bodies. The rigid body balancer is coupled to an inverted pendulum. Although the kinematic...master thesis 2022

Tielrooij, M. (author)Future concepts for Air Traffic Management (ATM) foresee—and even mandate—an increase in the distance from the destination airport at which the ATM system should start planning the arrival sequence and arrival time of inbound flights. By increasing the horizon beyond one hour before arrival, it becomes possible to timely adjust the flight path...doctoral thesis 2022

Rudlang, Julia (author)The Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) is an important component of the climate system and is a key contributor to future sea level rise, as it is storing frozen water that would raise sea levels by 7.4 m should it all melt (Bamber et al., 2018). Of particular concern is the amount of global warming we are facing now and in the future, as it is becoming...master thesis 2022

SURYAVANSHI, KARTIK (author)In this work, we present the ADAPT, a novel reconfigurable force-balanced parallel manipulator with pantograph legs for spatial motions applied underneath a drone. The reconfigurable aspect allows different motion-based 3-DoF operation modes like translational, rotational, mixed, planar without disassembly. For the purpose of this study, the...master thesis 2022

Prieto Viertel, Guillermo (author)The rise in urban stresses has prompted the need for preparedness of urban areas to face precarious circumstances. Consequently, the concept of urban resilience has grown in popularity not only to tackle sudden shocks but also to face long-lasting socio-economic tensions. To implement the arrangements for resilience policy, literature suggests...master thesis 2022

Siemensma, Ruben (author)As the share of renewable energy generation increases, the need for energy storage also increases. Therefore, there is a need for better storage representation in the current energy modelling tools. In the present day,<br/>the longer-term energy storage systems are not fully represented since, for existing storage systems, the self-serving...master thesis 2022

Rindhe, Pratik (author)Since the pre-industrial era, methane has contributed as much as 0.5°C to global warming. With a global warming potential of 28-34 times that of CO2 over 100 years, and with 80 times the warming power of CO2 in the first 20 years, methane has a large impact on climate change. Measurements from the satellite instrument TROPOMI help inform on the...master thesis 2022

van de Werken, Nathalie (author)A recent development in program synthesis is using Monte Carlo Tree Search to traverse the search tree of possible programs in order to efficiently find a program that will successfully transform the given input to the desired output. Previous research has shown promising results as Monte Carlo Tree Search is able to escape local optima that...bachelor thesis 2022
