Ton, A.M. (author)Sandy foreshores, beaches and dunes play an eminent role in flood risk reduction in coastal areas, reducing the impact of wind waves and storm surges on the hinterland. In some areas, sandy protection is naturally present. In other coastal areas, engineering solutions are needed to provide safety. “Soft” sediment-based solutions often serve...doctoral thesis 2023

de Araujo Passos, L.A. (author), van den Engel, P.J.W. (author), Baldi, S. (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)Satisfying thermal comfort in indoor spaces is still a challenge in terms of energy saving, and several HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air-Conditioning) systems have been proposed for this purpose. This paper conducts an analysis to evaluate and optimize the long-term operation of a novel HVAC system installed at The Green Village, a living...journal article 2023

Ton, A.M. (author), Vuik, V. (author), Aarninkhof, S.G.J. (author)Low-energy, non-tidal lake beaches are known to be subject to longshore morphodynamics, but little is known about how they are driven by wind and wave-driven currents. Lake Markermeer is a shallow (∼4 m deep), wind-dominated lake, of approximately 700 km<sup>2</sup>. A gradient in wind-induced water level set-up at the leeward shore induces a...journal article 2023

Le Grand, Oscar (author)Sea level rise will increase the risk of flooding in coastal areas. This poses a risk to the coastal protection as well as rivers and lakes close to the coast. Solutions are needed to cope with this threat. The past decade, nature based solutions have gained significant interest. One of these solutions could be sandy foreshores. Due to the use...master thesis 2022

Prins, Nathan (author)The growing field of research into batteryless or intermittent systems has enabled Internet of Things applications that were previously impossible. For example, the FreeBie system recently introduced Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE)<br/>to intermittent devices, making medium to long range bi-directional communication a reality for the first time....master thesis 2022

van Kouwen, Niels (author)Many sand spits are morphodynamically complex cases that are hard to quantify. Therefore, most case studies on sand spits in a specific type of environment, are descriptive or even non-existent. As is the case for spits in low-energy lake environments, like the two spits at the Marker Wadden islands. Because quantification is necessary for spits...master thesis 2022

Barzgari, Mohammad (author), Ghafari, A. (author), Meghdadi, Masoud (author), Medi, Ali (author)This article presents the theory and implementation of a quadrature and differential RF front-end receiver. Combining balun, low-noise amplifier (LNA), mixer, and oscillator in a single stage, the proposed circuit, named the Blixator, is well suited for low-power applications. The baseband's transimpedance amplifier (TIA) also shares part of...journal article 2022

van der Linden, Jorn (author), van der Heijde, Floris (author), van Remundt, Koen (author)The design, production and testing of the Bluetooth Ultrasimple Gamepad, or BUG for short, is laid out in this report. In the current market, most of the controllers available are multi-button controllers with analogue sticks. These controllers are expensive and can not be used for many web browser games which rely on a keyboard input to work....bachelor thesis 2021

Paricio Ezquerra, Daniel (author)Near-Earth Asteroids (NEAs) have attracted the attention of the scientific community in the last few years. Not only because of their importance to life on Earth but also their scientific potential and possible economic returns. This work explores the use of quasi-periodic orbits to bound the motion of NEAs close to the Earth’s vicinity for...master thesis 2021

Wellen, Fleur (author)The Noordstrand of the Marker Wadden has been subject to much more erosion than expected. From our current understanding of this low-energy system we cannot explain what has been the cause of this. The goal of this thesis is to create a better understanding of the different processes responsible for the development of this non-equilibrium beach...master thesis 2021

Ton, A.M. (author), Vuik, V. (author), Aarninkhof, S.G.J. (author)The morphodynamic behaviour of low-energy beaches is poorly understood, compared to that of exposed coasts. This study analyses the morphological development of sandy, low-energy beaches and the steering hydrodynamic processes. Four densely-monitored study sites in the non-tidal lake Markermeer in the Netherlands offered a unique opportunity...journal article 2021

van Meurs, Tom (author)The Houtribdijk is a dike intersecting the IJsselmeer and Markermeer, and is partly reinforced by the construction of sandy shores. The sand eliminates the wave loads before they can reach the levee. Making use of sandy shores as flood protection in a freshwater lake environment is unique. The main goal of this thesis was to find the causes of...master thesis 2020
