Chiodo, Alex (author)Urban areas are becoming more densely populated. More than 50% of the global population is already located in them. The Netherlands is among the countries with the highest population density. In 2017, 80% of its population was living in urban areas. It is expected that by 2050 the Netherlands will need between 300’000 and 1.6 million new homes....master thesis 2022

Veen, Thijs (author)Indoor localisation is a growing field of interest in recent studies. While GPS (global positioning system) is a standard for outdoor localisation, no such solution exists for indoor applications. The literature provides several methods to obtain the location of indoor systems, often using optical sensors. A small number of recent studies use...master thesis 2022

Boomaars, Kay (author)Sea level rise causes more difficulties for coastal maintenance. Although hard structures were built in the past to prevent for flooding, nature based solutions are preferred more recently. For the application of nature based solutions, a better understanding of the coastal processes is desired. Dry sand is transported towards the dunes by...master thesis 2022

van der Linden, Nordin (author)Organisations worldwide are decreasing their Greenhouse Gas emissions. The maritime industry is also contributing to this and trying to reduce its emissions but has done this inadequately. Reasons for this are that the required decrease in emissions varies widely between different vessels, many workboats are currently avoiding emissions...master thesis 2022

Pollack, Justin (author)Nowadays, machine learning (ML) methods rapidly evolve for their use in model-based control applications. Model-based control requires an accurate model description of the dynamical system to reassure the performance of the controller. Conventionally, this model description is retrieved from first-principles modelling which can be problematic if...master thesis 2022

Bauer, Marlinda (author)Due to climate change, the growth in renewable energy is still accelerating and reaching new records each year. Not everything can be electrified, hence, the production of green hydrogen as an energy vector is gaining momentum. However, lowest cost hydrogen will not always be produced at the demand centres, necessitating transport of hydrogen...master thesis 2022

Muhamed Salim, Mehna (author)Sustainability is seen as one of the most important challenges faced by the world today (Silvius, 2017). Within EPC companies, there are quite some ambitions at the strategic level to integrate sustainability into project procurement, but implementation at the project level is still quite limited. Additionally, existing literature focusing on...master thesis 2022

VARGHESE, ZACHARIAH KIRAN (author)Recently, the construction industry has been confronted with changing regulations, especially with the advent of sustainability goals and circular economy ambitions. The Dutch government wants to accomplish its ambitious initial objective of using 50% fewer primary resources by 2030. Further, by 2050, the goal is to have a waste-free economy...master thesis 2022

Kloppenburg, Mayke (author)Nowadays, software is an integral part of many companies. However, the codebase can grow large and complicated and is often insufficiently documented. To gain insight, tools have been made to infer state machines and process models from software logs. These tools produce different types of models such as automata and Petri nets. The main...master thesis 2022

Fillerup, Chai (author)Quantum communication has been shown to be vastly superior to classical communication in many problems. However no general statements exist which tells us how much better quantum communication is to its classical counterpart. In this thesis it was studied the minimum amount of classical bits required to exactly simulate a quantum communication...bachelor thesis 2022

den Hoedt, Dirk (author)When a patient is in a hospital, it is very important to monitor their vital signs. Doctors and nurses use this information to assess the condition of the patient. Most of the existing vital signs measurement devices need physical contact with the patient. This thesis focuses on a non-contact vital signs estimation method. Using a mmWave radar,...master thesis 2022

Garcia Ezquerro, Ignacio (author)The number of IoT devices and their applications is projected to continue increasing in the future, creating a demand for low-power wireless communications that allow IoT devices to either be connected directly to the internet or to use other devices as a back gate to it. BLE is already one of the most used wireless communication protocols for...master thesis 2022

Rakesh Arya, Stephy Annie Curie (author)The earplug development followed by ALPINE, a hearing protection company is a trial and error method. This method leads to high material wastage. It is also a time-consuming and expensive development process. So, the objective of this thesis is to ease the error earplug development process by implementing a prediction model. The research is...master thesis 2022

Looman, Danny (author)Underwater position estimation is challenging due to the absence of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals. Underwater vehicles are typically equipped with a Doppler Velocity Log (DVL) that measures the velocity relative to the seafloor. Aside from the velocity, the DVL also measures the range of each of the four beams. When compared...master thesis 2022

OIKONOMIDIS, SILVESTROS (author)Climate change due to the extensive use of fossil fuels has led to the deployment of alternative green ones, such as hydrogen. Green hydrogen is produced by renewable electricity and is CO<sub>2</sub>-free. This thesis focuses on the production of hydrogen by implementing alkaline water electrolysis as the core technology. <br/>Due to the...master thesis 2022

Lyu, Haozheng (author)Fine sieved fraction (FSF) is a solid waste generated from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Cellulose fiber is the most important component of FSF, which can be fermented into volatile fatty acids (VFAs) and then be used as carbon sources in biological nutrient removal (BNR). This thesis measured and evaluated the aerobic & anaerobic...master thesis 2022

Koot, Kees (author)In this thesis the behaviour of a Bose Einstein condensate is explored that consists of bosons that annihilate. In order to do this a system where bose einstein condensation occurs is modeled as a Zero Range process which is a special case of a Markov process.<br/>First we made a single slow site Zero range process with uniform rates and see how...bachelor thesis 2022
