Guillou, Nicolas (author), Lavidas, G. (author), Kamranzad, Bahareh (author)Refined numerical wave energy resource assessments are required to reduce uncertainties in the evaluation of available power and energy production. However, to restrict the computational cost, a great part of wave hindcast simulations cover a limited time range (below ten years) or rely on coarse spatial resolutions while routinely ignoring tide...journal article 2023

Fečkan, Michal (author), Marynets, K. (author), Wang, J. (author)We study a boundary value problem for a Caputo-type fractional differential equation subjected to periodic boundary conditions. For an auxiliary problem with the simplified right-hand side, we explicitly construct its unique solution. In addition, based on the theory of the topological index, we prove existence of at least one solution to the...journal article 2023

Schouhamer Immink, Kees A. (author), Weber, J.H. (author)We present and analyze a new construction of bipolar balanced codes where each codeword contains equally many -1's and +1's. The new code is minimally modified as the number of symbol changes made to the source word for translating it into a balanced codeword is as small as possible. The balanced codes feature low redundancy and time...journal article 2023

Pavilons, David (author)The most violent breaking waves cause the largest platform forces at sea, however it is unknown which wave in a sea state leads to these forces if run-up is included. Offshore inspection platforms give access to wind turbine monopiles. They are positioned above mean sea level. Wave interaction with monopiles leading to runup causes vertical...master thesis 2022

Almeida Pignatelli de Avillez, Miguel (author)Quasi-satellite orbits (QSOs) are orbits around the smaller primary in three-body systems. The MMX mission (developed by JAXA, to be launched in 2024) will use QSOs to orbit Phobos, before landing on its surface. This work studies the feasibility of using the invariant manifolds of three-dimensional QSOs for designing landing trajectories, using...master thesis 2022

van der Zwaag, Marco (author)The transition to a circular economy requires reducing waste and rework in construction projects. Thereby, the evaluation of building circularity in the early design phase is of great importance. However, due to the current design workflow, such practice is hindered because there is not enough information to evaluate building circularity in...master thesis 2022

Geijsen, Kamron (author)This paper presents a preliminary study of the set of trade-offs of UC-Berkley’s RISC-V instruction set architecture experiences, due to its lack of the Scaled Index addressing mode. The strong majority of the popular Instruction Sets such as x86, ARM, MIPS and PowerPC include relatively complex ways to calculate memory addresses (addressing...bachelor thesis 2022

van Noord, Zomer (author)This thesis considers solutions to the discrete Nagumo equation u˙ n = d(un−1 − 2un + un+1) + f(un), n ∈ Z. For sufficiently large d, the solutions are of the form un(t) = U(n + ct) with c > 0. This thesis contains the proof of existence of traveling wave solutions of the discrete Nagumo equations and originates from...bachelor thesis 2022

Dirks, Rutger (author)For an Autonomous Vehicle (AV) to traverse safely in traffic, It is vital it can anticipate the behavior of surrounding traffic participants using motion prediction. Current motion prediction approaches can be categorized into object-centered and object-agnostic methods and are primarily based on deep learning. The former relies on a human...master thesis 2022

Vos, Roel (author)As a response to the dry summer of 2018, Witteveen+Bos developed a model for water demand prediction to improve insight into water demands. Validation by water board "Hunze en Aas" has revealed the predictive power of the irrigation model to be very limited. For this thesis project, we developed a methodology for the detection of irrigation of...master thesis 2022

Beck, Anthony (author)The Land Administration Domain Model (LADM (ISO TC/211, 2012)) is a conceptual model which supports the modelling of social relations with land articulated through rights. There are three principal concepts within LADM: the party (the who) that has a rights relationship (the what) with a plot of land (the where). As an abstraction the party...conference paper 2022

Roseboom, Jeroen (author)In my thesis I researched the potential paths and pitfalls of the newly created ``Taillardat index''.<br/>This index uses the tail characteristics of several CRPS-based distributions to rank forecasters on how well they forecast, with a slight emphasis on extreme events.<br/>From my research I concluded that the ``Taillardat Index'' in its...master thesis 2022

Ko, N.T. (author)Freshwater is a finite resource. It offers goods and services of fundamental importance for the development of human societies. In the developing countries, water-related infrastructure developed rapidly, which will bring prosperity to an impoverished country but also risks compromising the sustainability of the environment. The scarcity of...doctoral thesis 2022

Maffei, C. (author)Forest fires are a major ecosystem disturbance at global scale, put pressure on agencies in charge of citizens and infrastructure security and cause unvaluable human losses. Fires are controlled by multiple static and dynamic drivers related to topography, land cover, climate, weather, and anthropic activity. Among these, weather is an active...doctoral thesis 2022

Chen, Bei (author), Dong, Fuqiang (author), Yu, Xin (author), Ren, S. (author), Zheng, Changjiang (author)Today, high-viscosity modified asphalt (HVMA) is widely used in drainage asphalt pavements. However, due to its high construction temperature, HVMA is prone to thermal oxidative aging, which reduces its life cycle and increases the maintenance costs of asphalt pavements. In this study, the effects of warm-mix additives on the physical,...journal article 2022

(author)Landslides are a major geohazard in hilly and mountainous environments. In-situ inspection of downslope motion is costly, sometimes dangerous and, requires prior knowledge of the existence of a landslide. Remote sensing from space is a way to detect and characterize landslides systematically at large scale. Interferometric Synthetic Aperture...journal article 2022
