van Melis, Kris (author)To reduce food waste, it is important to know what strawberries to prioritise for harvesting. Size is an important quality attribute for strawberry. In order to know the size, the depth of the strawberry in the image must been known. To estimate the depth, stereovision gets utilized using binocular images. Since classic stereovision methods are...bachelor thesis 2022

Berger, Tim (author)The predestined energy transition will induce major changes in the energy system. As demand for electricity is expected to rise, the electricity grid expansion by the DSO is viewed as an essential aspect in the transition. It is argued that the DSO currently face two major challenges; an increased workload, and ageing and scarcity of personnel....master thesis 2022

van Helmond, Emily (author)To mitigate climate change and to reach Dutch targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions with 49% by 2030, emissions by the construction industry must be lowered. Developments regarding mass timber construction have increased the potential to do so. This thesis addresses the problem that the opportunity of reducing CO2 emissions by constructing...master thesis 2022

Haile, Abem (author)The Meuse is a river in West-Europe which rises at the Langres Plateau and flows from France through Belgium and the Netherlands. The river has always been an important shipping route, even though its navigability has been problematic in the Netherlands. To solve this problem seven weirs were constructed in the Dutch part of the Meuse. They are...master thesis 2022

Mingione, Fabio (author)Reaction wheels are often the main contributor to microvibrations on satellites. These vibrations are a source of pointing errors and therefore need to be limited as much as possible. The miniaturization trend in the space industry and universities fostered the production of very small reaction wheels, suited to Cubesat and PocketQube scales. A...master thesis 2022
