Lokin, Felix (author)Financial markets continue to see an increase in the share of trades executed by algorithmic trading systems. A key component of an efficient algorithmic trading system is its ability to accurately estimate the probability an order will be executed: the fill probability. This thesis aims to determine whether the dynamics of the order book can be...master thesis 2023

van Geerenstein, Mathijs (author)3D object detection models that exploit both LiDAR and camera sensor features are top performers in large-scale autonomous driving benchmarks. A transformer is a popular network architecture used for this task, in which so-called object queries act as candidate objects. Initializing these object queries based on current sensor inputs leads to...master thesis 2023

Mendoza Silva, Santiago (author)Bacterial identification is crucial for addressing infectious diseases and enabling effective treatment strategies. Conventional bacteria identification methods like MALDI-TOF, while efficient, lack the capability for screening the effectiveness of antibiotics. On the other hand, existing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) tests, despite being...master thesis 2023

Hepsaydir, Leyla (author)This research is rooted in defining the marginlands of Istanbul; comprised of the city’s backstages, cracks, and fissures. It proposes an intervention along the historic margins of the city’s Land Walls, now swallowed by urban sprawl and existing as an interstitial inner-city threshold. The lands of such margins harbour an air of latency, having...master thesis 2023

Peiró Torralba, María (author)Nowadays, children are growing up in a highly unstable world. In our popular, shared narrative, ‘the future’ seems to have become a synonym for socioeconomic crisis and environmental disaster. In the hugely globalized and intercommunicated reality we live in, this is a story that children can hardly stay oblivious to. A European Union-wide...master thesis 2023

Ileri, Zeynep (author)The increasing ease of mobility is progressively diluting the traditional notion of monolithic national populations confined within single countries, thereby fostering the evolution towards more diverse and multicultural societies. If we look back to the 1960s, there was a significant migration to Europe. Many people from Turkey, Morocco,...master thesis 2023

Bikkina, Deepak (author)Recently, there have been numerous DC microgrids coming up in every sector. Some of these microgrids operate as independent entities with their own renewable energy sources, active loads, distribution networks and energy storage units. However, they are not highly reliable as the renewable energy sources are location and climate dependent....master thesis 2023

van der Heide, Yamila (author)Currently, biodiversity is under worldwide pressure. The organization Naturalis Biodiversity Centre wants to discover ways to address the biodiversity crisis in their museum. <br/><br/>For the design process, the double diamond method is applied. Through desk research and interviewing experts, the concept of biodiversity is explored. To have a...master thesis 2023

van Wijk, Thijs (author)In this work we investigate two boundary-value control algorithms for the heat equation on the finite interval. The algorithms we discuss here are based on the unified transform method (UTM), a method invented by A. S. Fokas to solve boundary value problems of partial differential equations. We first inspect the boundary-value control algorithm...master thesis 2023

Gu, Tianyi (author)Mismatched architecture is defined as architecture whose current situations don’t match their original settings during transformation. This mismatch manifests itself as a mismatch in form, function, and context, among others. Mismatched architecture is a self-adapting process of architecture and society, it gives us an insight into the...master thesis 2023

Zeng, Sijun (author)Site characterization is indispensable in the design phase of geotechnical engineering projects. As a key factor in site characterization, the characterization of soil undrained shear strength (S<sub>u</sub>) is always in the spotlight. Various methods, including laboratory and in-situ tests, have been developed to measure S<sub>u</sub>....master thesis 2023

Kielhöfer, Marius (author)The ability to accurately forecast sales volumes holds substantial significance for businesses. Current classical models struggle in capturing the impact of different variables upon the sales volume. These machine learning models are also not applicable to more than one specific product. The Temporal Fusion Transformer (TFT) is implemented to...bachelor thesis 2023

de Beun, Martin (author)Increasing density of housing in postwar neighbourhoods can simultaneously help in reducing housing shortages, address social-economic issues and enable a 2000-watt-society. Shifting household compositions have seen household sizes reduced and floor space usage increase, which corresponds to higher energy and material use. Reducing floor space...master thesis 2023

Smits, Quinten (author)Rapid and uncontrolled urban growth has resulted in fragmented cityscapes, leading to the loss of a sense of place in cities like London. The relentless march of modernization and compulsive development has given rise to illegible spaces, where once-distinctive landmarks are being replaced by generic high-rise buildings and shopping malls. This...master thesis 2023
