ten Have, Mark (author)In general, costs are an important aspect long before the construction of a civil project starts. In the conceptual phase, which is the first phase of a civil construction project, little cost information is available, and the cost estimate is at that stage of project development less accurate than when the project is almost completed. When a...master thesis 2021

YANG, MINGHAO (author)One-Shot Neural Architecture Search (NAS) is a promising method to significantly reduce search time without any separate training. It can be treated as a Network Compression problem on the architecture parameters from an overparameterized network. However, there are two issues associated with most one-shot NAS methods. First, dependencies...master thesis 2019

Ruysch, Iris (author)<br/>Currently, cities are in the midst of a transportation transition, namely, from human-driven to driverless vehicles. Because of the rapid development of technology, many systems are being automated or even becoming autonomous. Autonomous means that the system is able to perform each task automatically without any human intervention. Much...master thesis 2019

Overklift Vaupel Klein, Thomas (author)University students are expected to study on their own for large amounts of time. However a lot of these hours are not spent effectively by students. Eventually students who have trouble with self-studying in an effective manner may end up failing courses because of this. When students realise they have a (self-study) problem they can seek aid...master thesis 2019

Ripoll Sanchez, Andrés (author)There is no doubt that the smallest spacecraft platforms (CubeSats, NanoSats and microsats) are revolutionizing the market. The possibilities of developing spacecraft through standard platforms, commercial of the shelf components and then reduced the costs of development has allowed new organizations to enter the space section. On top of that,...master thesis 2019
