Giordano, Fabrizio (author)In this study, plume experiments were conducted to mimic the thermodynamic conditions on Saturn's moon, Enceladus. The icy moon subsurface ocean and cracks in the surface have been simulated by using a liquid water reservoir and a narrow channel, while the low-pressure environment at Enceladus’ surface was achieved with a vacuum chamber. We...master thesis 2023

Moonen, Djoshua (author)Payment channels allow parties to utilize the blockchain to send transactions for a cheaper fee. Previous work has analyzed to which degree a party can profit by facilitating the transaction process. The aim is to increase the usability of the network and to be rewarded for providing this service. However, previous work focuses on maximizing the...master thesis 2023

Savu, Ioana (author)Side-channel attacks (SCA) play a crucial role in assessing the security of the implementation of cryp- tographic algorithms. Still, traditional profiled attacks require a nearly identical reference device to the target, limiting their practicality. This thesis focuses on non-profiled SCA, which provides a re- alistic alternative when the...master thesis 2023

Penning, Thijs (author)Gaze estimation is an important area of research used in a wide range of applications. However, existing models trained for gaze estimation often suffer from high computational costs. In this study, frequency domain channel selection techniques were explored to decrease these costs by reducing the size of the input data. The main research...bachelor thesis 2023

van Horick, Quintes (author)The awareness of climate change has grown worldwide in the past years. Possible consequences of climate change are sea level rise, heavier storms and high river discharges, but also prolonged drought. For a country such as the Netherlands, these water level variations, high discharges and droughts could have a great impact. Therefore, solutions...master thesis 2023

Nanninga, Stefanie (author)Floating ice shelves regulate Antarctic ice sheet mass loss by buttressing land ice discharge toward the ocean. Next to basal melting, iceberg calving following the propagation of rifts has the potential to reduce this buttressing effect. However, rift propagation is largely unpredictable and generally not resolved in coarse climate models. The...master thesis 2022
