Denarié, Pierre-Antoine (author)Blind Source Separation (BSS), the separation of latent source components from observed mixtures, is relevant to many fields of expertise such as neuro-imaging, economics and machine learning. Reliable estimates of the sources can be obtained through diagonalization of the cumulant tensor, i.e., a fourth-order symmetric multi-linear array...master thesis 2022

van Onselen, L. (author)Junior designers may experience struggles with collaborative partners (e.g clients, managers, and stakeholders) who may prioritise values differently and which may yield frustration, conflict, and stress. Particularly, junior designers may find coping with value-based conflicts challenging as support is lacking. Senior designers can develop...doctoral thesis 2022

Zhou, Wenyu (author)Since the mid-19th century global temperatures have increased significantly, so does the intensity of extreme rainfall. Previous studies have suggested that by the end of the century extreme rainfall intensity would increase by 10.5% and 28.2% for the low and high emission scenarios, and the centennial extreme rainfall would increase by 13.5%...student report 2022

Banerjee, I. (author)In a dynamic or disruptive situation, such as disasters, a fully mobile and decentralized infrastructure-less network seems to be a viable option for communication. Citizens are confronted with challenges such as complicated deployment of these networks, resource-constrained mobile phones and mobility. This requires communication networks to...doctoral thesis 2022

Thorp, Katie (author)Like many cities in sub-Saharan Africa, Kumasi, Ghana is facing greater groundwater demands in part due to rapid urbanization. However, currently Ghana does not systematically monitor groundwater, which poses a challenge in management and implementation of science-based policy. Additionally, coordination among stakeholders in Ghana’s water...master thesis 2022

Grünewald, David (author)The housing crisis has resulted in a shortage of one million homes in the Netherlands. The dilemma: simply ramping up housing production fails to solve the problem, as common methods of construction and project development repeatedly prove to be socially and environmentally unsustainable. <br/><br/>Transit Village explores a variety of...master thesis 2022

Drozdowski, Tomasz (author)Artificial Intelligence technology offers computational, decision-making, and optimizing abilities that surpass every previously established traditional computation method. By being able to navigate across large amounts of data, the realized solutions learn on their own and provide results that would be unattainable with other ways. The complex...master thesis 2022

Bi, Haoran (author)Extreme precipitation can often cause serious hazards such as flooding and landslide. Both pose a threat to human lives and lead to substantial economic loss. It is crucial to develop a reliable weather forecasting system that can predict such extreme events to mitigate the effect of heavy precipitation and increase resilience to these hazards....master thesis 2022

Tuit, Charlotte (author)This study evaluates the face validity of the Participatory Value Evaluation (PVE) method. The PVE is an online method that enables participation for a large group of participants. This method is designed for citizens to evaluate a complex situation from a policy makers point of view. If a consultation lacks face validity, there is a likelihood...master thesis 2022

Sanderse, Yme (author)Successful development of the hydrogen economy would mean an effective cure for the world’s energy crisis (Abe, Popoola & Ajenifuja, 2019). Mazzolai (2012) found that one of the most considerable barriers to its deployment is the development of large stationary hydrogen storage systems. Researchers suggest underground storage in depleted gas...master thesis 2022

Velthoen, J.J. (author)In this thesis we develop several statistical methods to estimate high conditional quantiles to use for statistical post-processing of weather forecasts. We propose methodologies that combine theory from extreme value statistics and machine learning algorithms in order to estimate high conditional quantiles in large covariate spaces. In...doctoral thesis 2022

Cheng, D. (author)This dissertation collects three scientific contributions, already published in international peer-reviewed journals, plus some extra considerations and work-in-progress. First, we present a model based on reinforced urn processes, which conjugates to the right-censored recovery process, and empirically apply it to the time series of recovery...doctoral thesis 2022

Alberda van Ekenstein, Floris (author)This thesis sets out to support decision-making processes throughout the Dutch urban heat transition. Over the last few years, calls from both academic literature and practise have emerged stating that participation throughout these processes is of utmost importance. Not only to gain acceptance for implementation plans in the making, but also to...master thesis 2022

Huijsinga, Martha (author)The Russian invasion of Ukraine has created a renewed focus on both climate change and security of supply of energy. The European Commission’s Green Deal highlights the importance of the clean energy carrier ’low-carbon hydrogen’ to combat climate change. Simultaneously, in the new REPowerEU package, the European Commission emphasises the...master thesis 2022

Chen, Xinyue (author)While the performance of traditional confidence-based rejectors is heavily dependent on the calibration of the pretrained model, this study proposes the concept of feature-based rejectors and the whole pipeline where such rejector can be used in. Multiple design and development decisions along the implementation are discussed in the paper -...master thesis 2022

Kuit, Esmee (author)Living in the deep polders in the deltaic landscape of the Netherlands poses large-scale challenges. Biodiversity decline, weather extremes, sea level rise, salination, the housing crisis, and subsidence affect large parts of the Netherlands. These challenges should be tackled together through the integral question of ‘what does the area need?’...master thesis 2022

Huls, Frederique (author)The use of citizen participation in urban regeneration projects in Western European cities is increasing. Particularly in Amsterdam, participation with regards to regeneration projects is stimulated by the city government. Although the literature shows that not all such participatory processes are of value to citizens, there is a lack of...master thesis 2022
