de Ridder, Jesse (author)The offshore wind market is rapidly growing, resulting in increasing wind turbine sizes, increasing distances to port, and a shift to deeper waters. A literature study in this thesis shows that existing wind turbine installation vessels, vessels under construction, and innovative concepts will not be able to install next-generation turbines or...master thesis 2023

Pieck, Luca (author)In the Netherlands there is currently a high demand for affordable housing (Volkshuisvesting en Ruimtelijke Ordening, 2022). Earlier research indicated modular integrated housing can serve as a repercussion against this problem (Khan et al, 2022). The Dutch government wants to promote innovation in the construction industry to help solve the...master thesis 2023

van Stijn, Joep (author)The Ocean Cleanup faces a lot of different challenges during new deployments aimed to prevent riverine waste from entering the sea and harming surrounding ecosystems. These challenges are particularly evident when addressing entire river systems rather than individual rivers. An example of a currently challenging site The Ocean Cleanup faces in...master thesis 2023

Sennema, Erik (author)Intrusion detection systems (IDSs) are essential for protecting computer systems and networks from malicious attacks. However, IDSs face challenges in dealing with dynamic and imbalanced data, as well as limited label availability. In this thesis, we propose a novel elastic gradient boosting decision tree algorithm, namely Elastic CatBoost...master thesis 2023

Berkouwer, Laurens (author)For the installation of suction pile jackets, a new installation method initiated by SPT Offshore could extend the allowable size for suction pile jackets used as foundations for offshore wind turbines. This method involves installing the suction piles separately from the jacket frame. First, the suction piles are installed on the seabed. Then,...master thesis 2023

van Heusden, Joep (author)Due to the growing demand for offshore wind energy and the increasing wind turbine sizes, a shortage of capable installation vessels is anticipated by 2024. Consequently, the utilisation of heavy-lift vessels, previously not employed for bottom-founded or floating offshore wind turbine installations, may become imperative to realise the offshore...master thesis 2023

Choe, Yeonghwa (author)Korea had a history of wooden architecture for about 2,000 years before modernization. However, after the Korean War, the concept of modernist concrete high-rise apartments was radically introduced to solve the severe housing problem. In US, Charles Jencks declared the death of Modern Architecture, but it was a huge success in Korea. Apartments...master thesis 2023

Knoppert, Jordy (author)This master thesis is about health in the build environment focused on the occupant’s health in their own home. Dou to the increasing research about physical health and mental well-being it is getting clearer what is needed to create a healthy home. However, our homes are not becoming healthier. This is mainly because people do not know or...master thesis 2023

Topper, Friso (author)Boundary layer ingestion is an airframe-propulsion integration technology capable of enhancing aircraft propulsive efficiency. The Propulsive Fuselage Concept, a tube-and-wing layout with an rear-fuselage-mounted propulsor in the boundary layer ingestion configuration, especially takes advantage this. However, the relation between physical shape...master thesis 2023

Brink, Paul (author)<b>Problem definition:</b> In the car park industry, a new trend has emerged, shifting the demand for parking from permanent one-of-a-kind parking structures towards temporary modular structures (Drenth, 2020). Meanwhile, the building industry faces a transition into a more sustainable industry. This requires rethinking of the design process,...master thesis 2023

Kanniainen, Konsta (author)Various techniques have been studied to handle unexpected changes in data streams, a phenomenon called concept drift. When the incoming data is not labeled and the labels are also not obtainable with a reasonable effort, detecting these drifts becomes less trivial. This study evaluates how well two data distribution based label-independent drift...bachelor thesis 2023

Ackermans, Bas (author)Pectus Excavatum (PE) is a common deformity of the thoracic wall, characterized by a depression of the sternum. In the current golden standard for surgical correction of PE, the deformity is instantaneously corrected, causing severe and prolonged post-operative pain. The goal of this study is to design and validate a novel implant to slowly...master thesis 2023

Bonouvrié, Lars (author)The Netherlands is dealing with a severe housing crisis, in which there is a major shortage of affordable housing. The government has introduced many new regulations, trying to curb this affordability problem. Many of these measures seem to center around tempering market parties on the Dutch housing market. However, quite contradictory is that...master thesis 2023

Hirs Alvarez, Aldo (author)Currently, the energy transition is a topic for discussion and many organizations are taking measures to reduce the effects of climate change. Armed forces are exempt of these new regulations on the grounds of national security, but some have already started taking steps to reduce the amount of harmful emissions. Due to the high efficiency and...master thesis 2023

Matusovic, Marko (author), Parakkat, Amal Dev (author), Eisemann, E. (author)We introduce an approach for converting pixel art into high-quality vector images. While much progress has been made on automatic conversion, there is an inherent ambiguity in pixel art, which can lead to a mismatch with the artist's original intent. Further, there is room for incorporating aesthetic preferences during the conversion. In...journal article 2023

Molenaar, M.L. (author), Eisemann, E. (author)Sparse Voxel Directed Acyclic Graphs (SVDAGs) are an efficient solution for storing high-resolution voxel geometry. Recently, algorithms for the interactive modification of SVDAGs have been proposed that maintain the compressed geometric representation. Nevertheless, voxel attributes, such as colours, require an uncompressed storage, which...journal article 2023
