A Literal Intervention in the Context of Centro Habana: The Collective (In)Between

The graduation thesis project seeks to develop a design methodology that could function in a sustainable way within the constraints of the context of overpopulated and heavily decayed building stock of Centro Habana, in the city of Havana, Cuba. The intention of the project is to generate transformation in the stagnated built environment. The...

On Wavelet Based Spectrum Estimation for Dynamic Spectrum Access

One of the important functionalities of Dynamic Spectrum Access is spectrum estimation. Accuracy and speed of estimation are the key indicators to select the appropriate spectrum estimation technique. In this thesis work, the possibility of employing wavelet packet decomposition as a basis for a new spectrum estimation approach is investigated....

Modeling of internal faults in three-phasethree-winding transformers for differential protection studies

The thesis describes the modeling of the internal faults in three-phase three-winding power transformer related to the differential relay protection behavior due to those faults. This transformer model is based on the mutually coupled [RL] matrix and entirely compatible with ATP/EMTP software. The model uses the real power transformer and the...

Transformation of DEMO models into exchangeable format

Globalized business development requires enterprises to have more flexible and interoperable information systems. The use of reusable and marketable business components has proved valuable for the development of a high-level information system. Business Component Identification (BCI) is the first step and a crucial one in the development of an...

Automating quantity surveying in road construction using UAV Videogrammetry

Due to changing contract forms in road construction, contractors feel the need for accurate and fast quantity measurement methods. UAV Photogrammetry is a potential answer for contractors. Photogrammetric measurement processing should be automated in order to reach its full potential in speed and obtainability. Automatic extraction of reliable...

Automated Reuse of SystemFunctionality Information for FPA andSystem Specification

In the process of creating an information system for a customer, the function point analysis workflow and the system specification workflow fail to take advantage of each others knowledge gained during these workflows. Analyzing the functionality of a system is usually a time consuming task, which is currently performed for each workflow...

Risk Management for transformation projects

A Risk Scan is developed for indentifying the most important risk when transforming office buildings into housing

From urban barrier to urban connector: How to intervene to dissolve the existing barrier of the former military base

After the Truce agreement following the Korean War (6.25.1950), Seoul, the capital of Korea has brought boasting of the rapid development with abundant human resources. It expanded to the point where Seoul houses 40% of the nation?s entire population. This gives the competi¬tiveness of Korea but at the same time, it has taken place at a rate...

Declarative Access Control for WebDSL

This thesis describes the extension of WebDSL, a domain-specific language for web application development, with abstractions for declarative access control. The extension supports the definition of a wide range of access control policies concisely and transparently as a separate concern. Access is governed to the various resources in a WebDSL...

Hotel des Postes: Transformatie van het postkantoor aan de Coolsingel te Rotterdam

With attachment: A0 poster. First design: Henry Teeuwisse 1911-1915. Actual design: G.C. Bremer 1916-1923. Majestic building with monumental facades, high ceilings and a unique central hall. It has been considered elemental to leave the facades and the central hall largely untouched. The floors are deemed less sacred. Changes are designed as...

Bouwkosten van transformatieprojecten: Modelmatig inzicht in kostengeneratoren

Kantoortypologie. Er kunnen geen verschillende typen kantoorgebouw worden onderscheiden, maar wel een aantal typologische eigenschappen, die kenmerkend zijn voor kantoorgebouwen die gebouwd zijn in de periode 1965-1985. Als de constante eigenschappen worden weggelaten, blijven er 19 variabelen over die het kantoorgebouw beschrijven en 18...

The transformation of GPS into NAP heights: Combining NAP, GPS and geoid heights to compute a height reference surface for the Netherlands

GPS is used more and more for height determination. Resulting ellipsoidal heights don't give information about how the water flows. Therefore traditional height systems are used. In the Netherlands this is the NAP. To perform a transformation between both height system a geoid model is needed. This theses looks at the following issues, regarding...

Vinex: Compacte stad met hoogwaardig openbaar vervoer? Een onderzoek naar de ruimtelijke samenhang van de doelstellingen uit de vierde nota ruimtelijke ordening extra tussen compacte verstedelijking en inpassing van hoogwaardig openbaar vervoer.

De Vinex-locaties zijn tot stand gekomen als uitvloeisel van de vierde nota ruimtelijke ordening extra (VINEX), een traject dat loopt vanaf eind jaren tachtig. Inmiddels is de vijfde nota ruimtelijke ordening aangenomen, maar is de uitvoering van de VINEX nog niet ten einde. In dit onderzoek is de uitvoering van de VINEX geevalueerd. De relatie...

A Fuzzy Decision Support System for Magnetic Component Design

In many areas of electrical engineering, magnetic components like transformers and inductors are necessary parts of an electrical circuit. Designing such a component means finding a suitable combination of a ferrite core and a copper wire, while a great variety of requirements have to be satisfied. However, finding the optimal combination is...

Energy dissipation in random breaking waves: The probability of breaking

The present wave transformation models for random waves make use of an explicit formulation of the energy dissipation. A time-averaged model has been studied in which the dissipation rate per breaking wave is estimated from that in a bore of corresponding height. The probability of occurrence of breaking is derived from a wave height...
