Vriends, Robin (author)Context – Within the Netherlands, an urgent mismatch between supply and demand in the residential sector results in adverse effects such as high house prices and reduced affordability. This mismatch is anticipated to grow further due to an increasing number of households (between 300,000 and 1,000,000 until 2040) and the many barriers in the...master thesis 2017

Ursulean, M. (author)The thesis analyzes the design challenges that arise when developing high-speed ADCs and shows, through an extensive architecture study, that the SAR topology can be used with a sampling rate of 2.5GS/s if asynchronous processing and a multi-bit per cycle approach are adopted. The transistor-level implementation and simulation of a 6-bit SAR ADC...master thesis 2016

Shaib, S. (author)This thesis researches two main aspects: the characteristics of (national) spatial strategies and how they can be transferred, to learn lessons for the next Dutch spatial planning strategy of 2018 (NOVI). Taking the objectives that have been formulated by NOVI in content, process and product as a starting point, a comparative study is made...master thesis 2016

Nilsson, C.L.M. (author)The climate is changing and the rising temperatures are causing the polar ice to melt, combined with more and intense rain low-lying waterfronts are becoming vulnerable for flooding. Two urban waterfronts have been selected for the study: Frihamnen in Gothenburg and Stadswerven in Dordrecht. The two waterfronts have to be adapted to be able to...master thesis 2016

Zhang, R. (author)This thesis presents a 1-Mega pixels high-dynamic range and UV sensitive image sensor in 0.18 µm technology with 14-bit interleaved 64Ms/s SAR ADC. It can achieve 64 fps and 101 dB dynamic range. The pixel array contains three kinds of pixel: UV pixel, visible pixel and low blue pixel. Those three kinds of pixel form a special 4×4 kernel to meet...master thesis 2015

Vink, M. (author)The becoming of sacred places can be studied from the pragmatic, politic and poetic point of view. In this project, the third is done, stating that the power and qualities of an architect lie here, more than in the pragmatic and/or politic. Sacred places are therefore approached as places that go beyond themselves as objects. Sacred places have...master thesis 2015

Bin Kamis, M.H. (author)Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) is the most widely used tool for evaluating policy programs and capital expenditure. It involves estimating, where possible, the full direct and indirect private; and social costs and benefits associated with a policy action or potential project. The Netherlands is one of the countries that use CBA in transport...master thesis 2014

Aizenberg, E. (author)Detection of inflammatory lesions in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the spine in axial Spondyloarthritis (SpA) patients is a labor-intensive task. Current scoring methods often require an expert reader to visually assess 23 vertebral units (VU) on multiple MRI slices. Furthermore, monitoring of progressive changes consists of a manual...master thesis 2014
