Hurtado Alvarez, Lorena (author)The explosion in e-commerce has been undeniable. Our current global situation has urged the different industries to adapt the way they provide their services & products, creating a higher demand for home delivery. With 66% of Europeans claiming to have shopped online more since the initial lockdown in March 2020 and 82% planning to shop...master thesis 2021

Grosveld, Marcus (author)The conflictual past of Beirut is being erased by the company of Solidere, which has a strong will to modernise, through a highly destructive reconstruction, in an effort to heal the city. With this project, a new approach is taken on, in which an old concrete structure, riddled with bullet holes, part of the great variety of dilapidated and...master thesis 2021

Roza, Rintati (author)This thesis aims to find out whether electrokinetic transport of a calcium chloride solution can be controlled by adding sodium ions by performing molecular dynamics simulations. The idea that electrokinetic transport control is a possibility originates from research that found that charge inversion is reduced when monovalent ions are added to a...master thesis 2021

Breurkes, Arthur (author)Database entity type recognition is the practice of recognizing conceptual entity types for which given data sets contain data. In big data or data lake settings, it is not always known which conceptual entity types are represented in each data set, making it difficult to extract value from the data. Depending on the logical schemas, each...master thesis 2021

Louer, Irene (author)Katoenveem is a former cotton warehouse in the Merwe-Vierhavens area of Rotterdam. As a harbour heritage site it has a high cultural and historical value due to its unique past function and the systems that were installed for the transshipment of cotton, but also for the innovative construction method that was used and the resulting overall...master thesis 2021

Arrundell, Dale (author)In previous studies it was shown that both pilots and non-pilots sometimes make roll reversal errors (RREs) when the aircraft bank angle is presented on a moving horizon type attitude indicator. This incorrect input has been shown to be caused by a misinterpretation of the horizon symbol on such an attitude indicator. The figure-ground relation...master thesis 2021

Doelman, Michiel (author)Background: Accessing targets through complex trajectories with multiple curves in series, remains challenging today in many application fields, like surgery, the Fukushima disaster, maintenance of complex tube networks, mining and space operations. Current steerable devices require control of an extensive amount of segments, while moving as a...master thesis 2021

Dhakal, N. (author), Salinas-Rodriguez, Sergio G. (author), Ampah, Joshua (author), Schippers, Jan C. (author), Kennedy, M.D. (author)Measuring the bacterial growth potential of seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) feed water is an issue that is receiving growing attention. This study developed and demonstrated the applicability of the flow-cytometry (FCM)-based bacterial growth potential (BGP) method to assess the biofouling potential in SWRO systems using natural microbial...journal article 2021

Slob, E.C. (author), Zhang, L. (author)Migration, velocity and amplitude analysis are the employed processing steps to find the desired subsurface information from seismic reflection data. The presence of free-surface and internal multiples can mask the primary reflections for which many processing methods are built. The ability to separate primary from multiple reflections is...journal article 2021

Srinivasan, Sudharsan (author), van den Akker, H.E.A. (author), Shardt, Orest (author)Using an immersed boundary-lattice Boltzmann method, we investigated the response of dense granular suspensions to time-varying shear rates and flow reversals. The evolution of the relative apparent viscosity and particle structures was analysed. The concentration of solids (ϕ<sub>v</sub>) and particle Reynolds numbers (Re<sub>p</sub>) were...journal article 2021

Mariot, L. (author), Picek, S. (author), Jakobovic, Domagoj (author), Leporati, Alberto (author)Reversible Cellular Automata (RCA) are a particular kind of shift-invariant transformations characterized by dynamics composed only of disjoint cycles. They have many applications in the simulation of physical systems, cryptography, and reversible computing. In this work, we formulate the search of a specific class of RCA – namely, those...journal article 2021

Davydenko, M.V. (author), Verschuur, D.J. (author)Waveform inversion based on least-squares reverse time migration (LSRTM) usually involves Born modeling, which models the primary-only data. As a result the inversion process handles only primaries and corresponding multiple elimination pre-processing of the input data is required prior to imaging and inversion. Otherwise, multiples left in...journal article 2021

van Ginkel, G.J. (author), van Gisbergen, Bart (author), Redig, F.H.J. (author)We study a model of active particles that perform a simple random walk and on top of that have a preferred direction determined by an internal state which is modelled by a stationary Markov process. First we calculate the limiting diffusion coefficient. Then we show that the ‘active part’ of the diffusion coefficient is in some sense maximal...journal article 2021

Javier, Luisa (author), Pulido-Beltran, Laura (author), Kruithof, Joop (author), Vrouwenvelder, J.S. (author), Farhat, Nadia M. (author)Biofouling is a problem that hinders sustainable membrane-based desalination and the stratification of bacterial populations over the biofilm’s height is suggested to compromise the efficiency of cleaning strategies. Some studies reported a base biofilm layer attached to the membrane that is harder to remove. Previous research suggested...journal article 2021

Mirra, M. (author), Ravenshorst, G.J.P. (author)The inadequate seismic performance of existing masonry buildings is often linked to the excessively low in-plane stiffness of timber diaphragms and the poor quality of their connections to the walls. However, relevant past studies and seismic events have also shown that rigid diaphragms could be detrimental for existing buildings and do not...journal article 2021
