Dijkman, Kirsten (author)The cycling industry is influenced by the approval of the tire pressure control system in competitive cycling. This system allows real-time adjustments to the tire-road interaction during races. The total rolling losses is the resistance resulting from tire-road interaction, incorporating resistance due to tire deformation and the dissipation of...master thesis 2024

Groeninx van Zoelen, Annekee (author)With the worldwide biodiversity decline and cities that should adapt to climate change, rewilding the built environment to restore biodiversity and increase the degree of natural areas is necessary. Yet, there is currently no established overview of potential rewilding strategies for urban environments. This study explores various opportunities...master thesis 2023

Weegink, Stefan (author)There is an everlasting struggle for organisations to remediate vulnerabilities in IT systems before being the victim of an exploitation. Organisations try to reduce this struggle by turning to specialized cyber organisations, which use their expertise to recommend resolving a subset of vulnerabilities. Unfortunately, the process of recommending...master thesis 2022

van Engelen, Yves (author)In the current digitalised society keeping assets secure is one of the most prominent challenges organisations face. In the ongoing arms race between attackers and defenders, software security patching is a well-recognised and effective strategy to mitigate vulnerabilities in software products. However, organisations struggle with the best...master thesis 2022

van Hooff, Sam (author)The growing number of software vulnerabilities being disclosed is posing a challenge to many organisations. With limited patching resources and only a fraction of the vulnerabilities posing a real threat, prioritization is key. Current prioritization methods, such as CVSS, are failing and are sometimes no better than random guessing. Exploit...master thesis 2022

IJzerman, Thomas (author)Marine structures are frequently equipped with rubber fender systems, which absorb the berthing energy in order to protect both the marine structure and the berthing vessel. These fender systems absorb the kinetic berthing energy by elastic deflection and the associated reaction fender force introduces a berthing impact load acting on the...master thesis 2021

Bout, Jelle (author)The increasing number of drones forms a more significant problem every year. Negative impact becomes more apparent during daily life as, for example, airport operations are shut down due to unauthorized users of drones. This report focuses on designing a new wideband antenna array as part of an integrated radar system to detect small objects,...master thesis 2021

Burgers, Bastiaan (author)Decreasing injuries in football is a topic of interest for the KNVB and KNHB. To reach this goal, the use of smart sensor pants is researched. The data will be used to develop models for finding injury risk factors that are related to movements. Currently, the system is capable of reading out the IMUs and storing the data on an SD-card, for post...master thesis 2021

Gianfranceschi, Giuseppe (author), van Dijk, Robbin (author)This research investigates the feasibility of a sensor patch for newborns. A sensor patch would be a device that is applied to the skin of the newborn. It can monitor the patient's temperature, heart rate, respiration rate, oxygen saturation and asses its general appearance of the skin so that it can check the newborn for jaundice. It should...bachelor thesis 2020

de Laat, Willem (author), Roeleveld, Rein (author)The objective of the bachelor graduation project detailed in this thesis is to develop a wireless sensor patch that monitors the health of newborns. The sensor patch replaces the monitoring tasks of nurses during maternity care. The patch measures temperature, heart rate, oxygen saturation and bilirubin. Many babies are born with high bilirubin,...bachelor thesis 2020

Vizcarro Carretero, Marc (author)Meaningful dual-polarized radar estimations suitable for radar meteorology require a cross-polarization discrimination (XPD) and isolation (XPI) in excess of 30 dB to reach a differential reflectivity accuracy lower than 0.1 dB. A planar dual-polarized patch antenna array featuring low cross-polarization is proposed to meet these requirements...master thesis 2019

Pugliatti, Mattia (author)The decision on the dynamical model used to design a spacecraft’s trajectory is a fundamental choice influenced by many factors. The complexity of such a model affects the accuracy of the designed trajectory but also the difficulty of the design process. One approach to simplify this task consists of splitting the trajectory design process into...master thesis 2018

Teng, E. (author)A road network is one of the core elements of urban environments, strongly defining their layout. Procedural modeling has been increasingly used to create such road networks. However, many procedural methods are complex and difficult to master by non-experts, often have a limited and hard-to-control expressive range, and require a variety of...master thesis 2017

Breukers, Y.P. (author)Software vulnerabilities are a major enabler for cyberattacks, and are therefore responsible for a sizeable portion of the risk for large organisations in cyberspace. Little research has been done on the dynamics underlying this risk. The goal of this paper is to find how organisations and software vendors can influence the overall risk level as...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

Den Engelse, J.A. (author)Load Sensing Bearing (LSB) units are based on the measurement of the elastic deformation of the outer ring of the bearing unit usually using strain gauges which are placed along the circumference of the bearing. The master thesis is aimed at estimating the lateral tire force of a vehicle wheel using the vehicle wheel bearing hub unit which is...master thesis 2013

Voermans, J.J. (author)Little research was done in the past concerning the propagation of three dimensional effect in shallow wake flow caused by a roughness patch. Today’s research on related subjects is dominated by emerging obstructions in shallow water where the flow can be assumed as (quasi) two dimensional. However the relevance of a submerged obstruction with...master thesis 2013
