Trahan, A.C. (author)Extreme value theory is commonly applied in ocean engineering to estimate extreme environmental conditions (e.g. wave height and wind speed). Extreme value models generally assume data are identically distributed and homogeneous in time. Because there are often different dominant generating mechanisms in different seasons, the sample...master thesis 2013

Asghari, H. (author), Van Eeten, M.J.G. (author), Arnbak, A.M. (author), Van Eijk, N.A.N.M. (author)Even though we increasingly rely on HTTPS to secure Internet communications, several landmark incidents in recent years have illustrated that its security is deeply flawed. We present an extensive multi-disciplinary analysis that examines how the systemic vulnerabilities of the HTTPS authentication model could be addressed. We conceptualize the...report 2013

Van der Spek, B.J.T. (author)The objective of this study is to propose a method that is able to deal with data poor environments within coastal studies. Numerical models are useful tools to get insight in the coastal processes of the system being modelled. Inaccurate or poor input data leads to inaccurate or even incorrect model results. By stochastic modelling insight is...master thesis 2013

Heinemann, H.A. (author)Concrete like materials were already applied during the Roman Empire. After the decline of the Roman Empire, a wide scale application of concrete only reappeared in the 19th century. Here lies also the origin of modern (reinforced) concrete. Since then, both concrete application and composition have significantly changed. Today, concrete from...doctoral thesis 2013

Rohe, A. (author)To solve problems in geotechnical engineering often numerical methods such as the Finite Element Method (FEM) are used. This method can be applied for example for the calculation of the strength of dikes, the determination of the stability of (rail)road embankments, the prediction of deformations due to landfills, or the analysis of subsurface...doctoral thesis 2013

Shen, Y. (author), Van der Weide, J.A.M. (author), Anderluh, J.H.M. (author)An advanced method, which we call Monte Carlo-COS method, is proposed for computing the counterparty credit exposure profile of Bermudan options under Lévy process. The different exposure profiles and exercise intensity under different mea- sures, P and Q, are discussed. Since the COS method [1] delivers accurate Bermudan prices, and no change...journal article 2013

Farhanieh, S. (author)Since 1990, this energy consumption in transport has been increasing at an average annual growth rate of approximately 1.6%. Freight transport activity, as one of the main contributors to this growth, is forecasted to increase by 50% by 2020. As a result, a number of policy issues have been raised, which can be summarized as follows: -...master thesis 2012

Pommeranz, A. (author), Detweiler, C. (author), Wiggers, P. (author), Jonker, C. (author)Explicitly considering human values in the design process of socio-technical systems has become a responsibility of designers. It is, however, challenging to design for values because (1) relevant values must be identified and communicated between all stakeholders and designers and (2) stakeholders’ values differ and trade-offs must be made. We...journal article 2012

Harding, B.T. (author)Dutch developers are thought to have been able to outcompete the owners of existing office space on rental pricing (the phenomenon). For tenants it was more inexpensive to move to newly proposed (not yet existent) office space than to remain where they are, or move to other existing office space. Three theoretical reasons were identified for the...master thesis 2012
