Papantoniou, L. (author)Climate change is already happening and represents one of the greatest environmental, social and economic threats facing the planet. The warming of the climate system is unequivocal, as is now evident from observations of increases in global average air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting of snow and ice, and rising global mean sea level....master thesis 2009

Kotobi, K. (author)The studies about the effects of multipath fading and shadowing for wireless cooperative networks are insufficient. Almost all real wireless networks can be modeled by changing the parameters of the composite distribution which models both multipath and shadow fading. This composite distribution makes the analytical calculation of bit error rate...master thesis 2011

De Koning, R.E. (author)The city of Amsterdam is broadly considered to be of great cultural and historic value. For centuries, it has played a vital role in the development of The Netherlands and Western Europe as the centre of the Modern World. Traditionally, the balance between government, freedom and trade is considered to be of paramount importance for the...master thesis 2012

Huang, N. (author)The research aims to redefine how adaptive planning approach can help traditional spatial planning system to deal with conservation and development land use conflicts through a set of adaptation plans. As most planning system in the world, spatial planning in Taiwan in concerned with both planning making and the control of development (Chen &...master thesis 2014

Van Oers, A.M. (author)A DGFEM discretization has been developed for the Hamiltonian dynamics of stratified incompressible linear fluid flow. The developed discretization can handle the numerical challenges posed by wave attractors: the three dimensionality of the domain, the focusing of wave energy and the incompressibility of the flow. The discretization is...master thesis 2015

Zarmpis, M. (author)Existing historic buildings, remnants of a past long gone are often still highly operational in our time, most likely at the expense of the environment. Without interventions, their energy performance is outdated – provided they are used in a contemporary way - and they contribute to the over-consumption of energy and the increase of greenhouse...master thesis 2015

Chang Lara, C. (author)Display cases around the world contain some of the most precious objects of our cultural heritage, from Leonardo Da Vinci’s La Gioconda to the Gutenberg Bible. We trust that these display cases will protect our objects of cultural heritage from vandalism, light, pollution and most importantly, moisture. Nevertheless, museums sometimes find that...master thesis 2015

Deklerck, M. (author)Structural optimization, first introduced by Schmidt in 1960, is a rapid growing factor in the development of new aerospace structures. This growth is established by the increase in numerical modelling techniques, cheaper computer power, the increasing cost of production and competition between companies. The combination of both structural...master thesis 2016

Zhang, Y. (author)Based on the recently developed mimetic spectral element method, we propose an effective numerical scheme for solving three-dimensional periodic incompressible Euler flows, which spatially preserves mass, kinetic energy and helicity. Preserving multiple integral invariants numerically will significantly contribute to the stability and accuracy...master thesis 2016

Van 't Hof, J. (author)SCOPE: A disconnection between the production and consumption of energy use makes it difficult for people to engage with the technologies related to energy. This causes that users can only engage with technologies by consuming the functionalities related to them. This is what Borgmann has been defined as the ‘device paradigm’. The goal of this...master thesis 2016

Khan, A.S. (author)The purpose of this research is to explore the role of LIDAR Technology and Digital Fabrication techniques in the field of architectural conservation, particularly for the patching of ornamental heritage. The information is compiled in the form of a guide. Information gathered via the aid of experiments and subsequent observations is also...master thesis 2016

Gilhuis, C. (author)Approximately 26% of all mammals is endangered and scientists estimate that half of the species will be extinct in 2100. Zoos have the potential to inspire, educate and influence a lot of people regarding wildlife conservation. Dierenpark Amersfoort, the most child-friendly zoo in the Netherlands, founded the Wildlife Fund. This fund raises...master thesis 2016

Adank, M.W. (author)Every year, 1.7 million woman are diagnosed with breast cancer worldwide. Breast Conserving Surgery (BCS) – where not the whole breast but only the tumour is dissected – is the most common and preferable treatment for these woman. However, 20 to 55% of the patients’ needs a second surgery because of positive margins. A dissected tumour has a...master thesis 2017

Gonzalez de Diego, G. (author)Turbidity currents are an essential agent of sediment transport from shallow to deeper waters. Detailed measurements of the velocity field or particle concentration are only available by means of accurate numerical simulations. In this thesis, a DNS solver for turbidity currents is presented based on the MEEVC scheme, a mass, energy, enstrophy...master thesis 2017

Wolswinkel, Judith (author)Monuments are often not energy efficient, yet improving the energy performance without harming the cultural values is still a complex process. By only conserving a building without making adaptations, a mismatch can arise between the demand of the user and the building. Next to that, using Building Information Modeling (BIM) to assess the...master thesis 2017

Hugtenburg, Stefan (author)Wireless sensor networks are commonly used to remotely and automatically monitor environments.<br/>One of the main challenges in wireless sensor networks is to use the limited available energy as efficiently as possible, to ensure longevity of the network. For such networks to survive their intended deployment period no energy may be wasted on...master thesis 2017

Hukeri, Meghna (author)Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer in women with about 1.7 million new cases reported worldwide in 2012. The two main types of surgical treatment for breast cancer are mastectomy and lumpectomy. In mastectomy, the entire affected breast is excised whereas in lumpectomy only the tumor along with a rim of healthy tissue is excised. This...master thesis 2017
