Nie, Ping (author)This paper primarily employs Item Response Theory (IRT) to estimate item characteristics and the proficiency levels of students as reflected in the exam results. The process includes the application of algorithms for item characteristic parameter estimation and the utilization of statistical techniques for item selection from an item pool....master thesis 2023

Taylor, Elizabeth (author)Floods are the most frequent natural disaster and due to climate change the frequency and intensity of these events are increasing. Therefore, it is becoming increasingly important to obtain accurate estimations of extreme discharges. Statistical modelling is widely used to estimate extreme discharges by fitting observed extreme discharges to an...master thesis 2023

Zhang, Qiwen (author)Sewage systems hold a critical function within the fabric of urban infrastructure, primarily by ensuring efficient wastewater management. Within this network, sewage pumping stations emerge as important components. The performance of such stations is susceptible to being undermined by system failures and malfunctions, which can cause significant...master thesis 2023

Mastouri, Marouane (author)This thesis aimed to investigate the potential of the EU’s carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM) to promote sustainable adjustments in the production process of semiconductor machines, considering uncertainties in carbon accounting. The research combines a review of existing literature, a case study analysis of a selected semiconductor...master thesis 2023

Paranjape, Aniruddha (author)As the world grapples with the challenges of global warming, there has been a significant push for the development of new methods of harnessing renewable energy. Energy harvesters have been a new avenue to generate electrical power locally for remote applications. An energy harvester is a device that taps into aeroelastic phenomena to convert...master thesis 2023

Mota Lontra, Bernardo (author)The Netherlands is a northwestern European country. The location makes the Netherlands an important entry for trade to the European continent resulting in high traffic intensities [1]. The Netherlands has one of the densest road networks in the world, having over 139.000km of roadways [2, 3]. The understanding of the link between the functional...master thesis 2022

Koot, Paul (author)Climate change causes cities to deal with increased temperatures and more frequent weather extremes. Heat waves will occur more often, becoming a more prevalent issue in especially urban areas. The quantification of heat stress is a first step to define mitigation measures. For that purpose, a standardised method to assess the spatial influence...master thesis 2021

Oversier, Rachel (author)<b>Introduction:</b> Carotid atherosclerosis is characterized by the build-up of the so-called plaque tissue in the wall of the carotid artery. The rupture of carotid plaques can lead to acute manifestations, including ischemic stroke and transient ischaemic attack (TIA). The mechanism responsible for rupture is not yet unravelled, complicating...master thesis 2020

Tejedor Galindo, F.H. (author)In a globalized world, the rapid development in digital technologies and finance has enabled the successful growth of Airbnb around the world. The basic idea behind this growth is to take advantage of the underused assets —houses, apartments, or rooms and to profit from them. The spectacular growth in main cities has caused the social fabric of...master thesis 2020

Bierhuizen, Luc (author)Due to the presence of a monopile in a turbulent flow swirling vortices, known as horseshoe vortices, can form upstream of the structure near the cylinder-bed junction. Those vortices then travel downstream of the cylinder as they are being dragged along with the current. The horseshoe vortices can scoop up bed material surrounding the cylinder,...master thesis 2020

van der Kooij, Len (author)The design of offshore and coastal hydraulic structures is very much dependent on the hydraulic boundary conditions, such as significant wave height, mean wave period and wave direction, among other parameters. A proper design value of these parameters is required during the design process, based on the corresponding safety philosophy and the...master thesis 2020

Audenaert, Lisa (author)Automotive radar has an advantage over other sensors in that it is better at operating in bad weather conditions. To see the extent of the effect that adverse weather conditions might have on the statistics of the data a statistical analysis was performed on real measurement data. During heavy rain there is a shift that can be observed in the...master thesis 2019

Maas, Youri (author)In this thesis we are going to study outlier detection methods and propose a new method. Classical outlier detection is typically based on the assumption that the data is from a Gaussian/normal distribution. When the underlying distribution of a random sample is heavy tailed, so not normal , it is likely to have some extreme observations which...bachelor thesis 2019

Harinandansingh, Arjun (author)What is the actual value of a house and which factors contribute the most to it? In this thesis we do a thorough research and try to come up with an answer. We will set up models that approximate the current market values for all houses in the Netherlands. To do this, we use a lot of data from different sources. Various characteristics of houses...master thesis 2019

Sarkisian, David (author)It is said that Dutch winters are becoming milder and that we experience less severe winters nowadays. In this thesis it is attempted to test meteorological data on whether there is a significant trend. This is done by using the Mann-Kendall test and Sen’s slope estimator. In the last chapter the cultural impact of the changing winters on the...bachelor thesis 2019

de Wolf, Inge (author)In the Observational Method Ab Initio approach a flexible design and construction plan is established to allow anticipation to observational feedback during the construction phase. This way, the structural design can be optimized to the in-situ conditions which is beneficial from both safety and economic point of view. In the application of...master thesis 2019

van der Auweraert, Elwin (author)Trace metals appear in estuarine systems in two forms: dissolved and particulate. <br/>Describing the partitioning between these two forms is done by a coefficient, K_d, which relies on a number of environmental parameters, such as the salinity of the water and the seasonally dependent biological activity. Although this coefficient is known to...master thesis 2018

Perrenet, Yannick (author)A statistical approach to depict stock volatility based on general news headlines by exploiting Machine Learning methods such as sentiment analysis and neural networks. The results from the analysis are then used in the financial market with a particular trading strategy, called a bottom straddle. We conclude that not enough information can be...bachelor thesis 2018
