With new rovers landing on Mars, like the Perseverance rover in 2020, the interest in Mars has grown recent years. The atmospheric conditions on Mars result in challenging conditions due to its low density atmosphere and extremely low temperatures. With a density on Mars that is 1% of that on Earth, creating sufficient lift for vehicles to fly...

The focus of design studies has shifted from a product-centric perspective to a perspective in which value is defined by and co-created with the consumer, rather than embedded in the output. The reasoning hence focuses on the interplay between innovation and design processes. Moving from an earlier conceptualization of design-driven innovation,...

De Jong Gortemaker Algra, a Rotterdam based architectural firm, initiated this project. The company designs mostly for social projects, e.g. hospital buildings and schools. When designing a hospital building they have to consider multiple stakeholders. To them the patient experience was an area in which they had little expertise. They started...

Basic oxygen furnace (BOF) slag is a by-product of the steel conversion process in a basic oxygen furnace. A previous study at Tata Steel in Ijmuiden has discovered the inhibition effect of BOF-slag on the corrosion of cold rolled- and hot-dip galvanized steel. This inhibition effect and its mechanism was studied in this work and its was...

Photoelectrochemical hydrogen production from solar energy and water offers a clean and sustainable fuel option for the future. Planar III/V material systems have shown the highest efficiencies, but are expensive. By moving to the nanowire regime the demand on material quantity is reduced, and new materials can be uncovered, such as wurtzite...

A High-Speed Digital-to-Analog converter system is proposed that is controlled using USB 3.0. Possibilities to improve the refresh rate and resolution are researched to meet the standards of modern measurement systems. For instance, adaptive optics often uses a DAC in its feedback loop, but the USB DAC systems currently available provide...

This thesis was made for the Bachelor Graduation Project (Electrical Engineering). The purpose of the project was to design an audio-based game for visually impaired children. In this thesis the gameplay and the graph- ical user interface are designed. We choose to make a simplified dungeon crawler in the programming language Python. We designed...

This study investigates four numerical models to approximate the static and dynamic resistance of an unreinforced masonry wall loaded in one-way out-of-plane bending. From validation with experimental data it was found that for the combination of shell and interface elements with discrete cracking the static and dynamic behaviour of unreinforced...

This thesis experimentally assesses the inflow towards the propulsors and the pressure distribution at the propulsor fan-face for the boundary layer ingesting D8 aircraft, and examines the dependence of the model, the propulsor and the flight condition on the inlet distortion. Use is made of mini-tuft flow visualization and five hole probe...

Cloud adoption in the public sector is taking off slowly, which is perceived as a problem. Models of factors influencing cloud adoption are derived for better understanding using literature and results obtained via desk research and surveys by the Cloud for Europe project. We conclude that several factors require further research, such as the...

The use of natural user interfaces instead of conventional ones has become a reality with the emergence of 3D motion sensing technologies. However, some problems are still unsolved (for example, no haptic or tactile feedback); so this technology requires careful evaluation before the users can benefit from it. We argue, that the best benefits...

We create a new multi-language corpus for author verification based on Wikipedia talkpages, and evaluate the influence that differences in topic and time have on character n-gram author profiles. Topic alignment between two texts is found to increase author verification precision, and an authors writing style is found to change over time, but...

De Haarlemmerpoort in Amsterdam is in een isolement geraakt door stedelijke veranderingen door de jaren heen. Daarbij is de publieke functie verschoven naar een woonfunctie waardoor het monument in zijn geheel privé gebied is. Mijn voorstel voor het gebied schept nieuw stedelijk domein door het toevoegen van volume op het Haarlemmerplein en zet...

Future air traffic concepts foresee that in unmanaged airspace, to reduce workload of air traffic controllers and the resulting constraints on capacity, the separation task will be delegated to the flight deck. Technology-driven pilot self-separation support systems have been developed that present explicit automated solutions to deal with...

Communication and marketing professionals make strategic decisions in highly complex and dynamic contexts. These decisions are highly uncertain on the outcome and process level when, for example, consumer behaviour is at stake. Decision support systems can provide insights in these levels of uncertainty and the professional process of decision...

The metabolic pathways of living organisms produce biomaterials. Hence, in principle biomaterials are fully sustainable. This does not mean that their processing and application have no impact on the environment, e.g. the recycling of natural rubber remains a problem. Biomaterials are applied in a wide range of consumer products, varying from...

The aim of the research presented in this thesis was to infer design-related insights and guidelines to improve the use and effectiveness of home energy management systems (HEMS). This was done through an empirical evaluation of the longitudinal effectiveness of these devices and an exploration of factors that influence their use and...
