van Hout, Juul (author)While the benefits of adaptive reusing heritage are widely acknowledged by academic and practice, the process's complexity increases. Stakeholders are not willing to consider reuse as a strategy to deal with heritage vacancy. Studies have tried to grasp this complexity by identifying success factors, but till this point, practitioners have not...master thesis 2021

Kok, Emma (author)In the Waal bed degradation occurs, which is mainly induced by a large number of river regulations measures done in the past. Rijkswaterstaat develops possible measures and new techniques to stop riverbed erosion and/or mitigate the negative effects. One of the possible new techniques to reduce riverbed erosion locally is groyne field...master thesis 2020

Smith, Thomas (author)Stream processing has taken a prominent position in the software engineering industry. Many applications, from a small to large scale, embrace this paradigm to deal with the difficulties of responding to events that happen asynchronously: programmers define "operators" that perform small, independent tasks on individual events. These operators...master thesis 2020

Klein, Keith (author)Acquiring an accurate estimate of position is a challenging problem in coherent radar processing techniques such as Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR). Even more so, for light and agile platforms such as multi-copters. Due to their unpredictable flight path, their motion must be accurately measured during data acquisition, and compensated for during...master thesis 2020
