Li, Wenkai (author)Concurrency bugs are easy to introduce but dif- ficult to detect, especially in implementations of distributed algorithms where concurrency non- determinism is an inherent problem. These bugs may only be identified under very specific order- ings of execution events, making them challenging to reproduce. Controlled concurrency testing tech-...bachelor thesis 2023

Bart, L. (author)Wind waves are capable of dealing damage to hydraulic structures. In the ultimate case, the loads never exceed the strength of the structure. Unfortunately it is often impossible (or uneconomical) to design a structure that will fit this requirement. That is why structures are designed with a certain allowable probability of failure, displayed...bachelor thesis 2013

Alwani, Neil (author)This study investigates the application of generative models for synthetic data generation in pathway optimization experiments within the field of metabolic engineering. Conditional Variational Autoencoders (CVAEs) use neural networks and latent variable distributions to generate new, plausible data samples. We adapt this model by conditioning...bachelor thesis 2024

Van Loon, P.S.P. (author)During this research a method is developed for finding the cost optimal design of a sea dike when a probabilistic method is being applied and flexibility is allowed in the distribution of the total failure probability over the various failure mechanisms. A probabilistic model has been set up to calculate the cost optimal design for a sea dike...master thesis 2014

CAUMO, GIORGIO (author)In the last decades, renewable energies gained an increasing interest due to the environmental awareness of people, especially in the developed countries. Moreover sustainable resources represent a long-term investment full of possibilities of use. <br/>In the Netherlands a technology which is getting more and more popular to produce green...master thesis 2022

Kool, J.J. (author)Jetties are designed by the guidance of the deterministic standards. These standards are based on the standardized values of safety factors (semi-probabilistic) and use the load and the capacity of every element as a standard value. The interaction of every separate element as a part of a whole is not taken in to account. The use of...master thesis 2011

De Lange, W. (author)The environmental impacts caused by suspended sediments are an important issue in the environmental impact assessment (EIA) of dredging and reclamation projects. This thesis is restricted to provide insight into the emission of suspended sediment particles due to the release of return water. This water is used to pump dredged material to the...master thesis 2011

Pol, J.C. (author)Design water levels are a basic concept in flood risk management practice. These water levels with a specified return period are used for the design of dikes and other flood protection measures along the river Meuse. Current practice is that these water levels are determined by hydrodynamic simulation of a standard design hydrograph at the...master thesis 2014

Franken, Kris (author)Subsea pipeline are extensively used for the transport of hydrocarbons from offshore wells, to platforms, pump stations and to onshore facilities. Because the installation of pipelines is time consuming it is responsible for a significant amount of the total costs of a project. Thus the workability of the installation is of great importance.When...master thesis 2018

van Dam, Menno (author)The authorities of the Port of Genoa have requested the construction of a new vertical breakwater for the Sampierdarena canal, as well as the subsequent demolition of part of the existing breakwater. The reason for this project is the need to expand the size of the canal, to allow larger vessels to safely use it. A choice is made for a vertical...master thesis 2022

Jasperse, Faye (author)Service reliability is one of the most important performance measures to public transport users. Detecting disruptions helps to measure service reliability, which can be used by public transport operators to improve this reliability. In this thesis, a methodology is described to automatically detect disruptions offline, using smart card data....master thesis 2020

Koen, M. (author)Floating Production, Storage & Offloading (FPSO) units are extensively utilized in remote offshore areas for deep water developments where a pipeline infrastructure is not an economically viable solution. Traditionally, FPSOs are converted from oil tankers, which entails that they are not equipped with an appropriate mooring system. A spread...master thesis 2017

De Nie, R.C. (author)The increasing demand for electricity offers many opportunities for renewable energy production, of which one alternative is tidal stream energy. Several feasibility studies have shown that the global tidal stream energy potential can contribute significantly to producing renewable energy. This tidal energy can mostly be produced at the 'tidal...master thesis 2016

Sijbesma, Floris (author)When designing hydraulic structures, engineers follow a structured and predetermined set of design phases, referred to as the design process. Within this process, the preliminary design phase is a highly iterative process, which requires many calculations. From these calculations many different initial designs of the structure are derived....master thesis 2019

Zijdemans, M. (author)A research thesis into how to determine the influence of data quality on business performance using methodologies form the field of data uncertainty and data quality. A model is explained and validated which uses principles of probabilistic databases to show the uncertainty of information used in decisions. This uncertainty is based on the data...master thesis 2013

Krousoratis, Konstantinos (author)The majority of existing infrastructure assets are ageing, and sooner or later, they will have reached the end of their service life. As a result, many asset owners are confronted with large-scale replacement projects in the coming decades. Annually, they allocate a significant number of resources, but these budgets are never adequate for...master thesis 2022

Bus, C.A. (author)Robustness has recently become a popular term in structural and hydraulic engineering. However, the concept of ‘robust design’ or ‘robustness’ has no clear definition. The aim of this thesis was to find a definition for a robust system and to use this definition to search for an added value of robust design in structural engineering. The...master thesis 2012
