Jongbloed, Niek (author)Current yard crane models used for studies on various logistic processes in container terminals involving automated yard cranes do not take automation systems into account. The operational container handling performance of automated yard cranes are therefore inaccurately predicted by current models. To avoid logistical problems and financial...master thesis 2019

Aldin, Zainab (author)In spite of the fact that there are many advantages of alkali activated materials (also called geopolymers) over the cement-based materials, geopolymer concrete has been used in the past for construction purposes on a very limited level. Among the many advantages of geopolymers compared with the cement-based materials is less CO2 emission, it...master thesis 2019

Kooijman, Iris (author)Option valuation is one of the more applied areas of mathematics. Options are financial derivatives whose value depends on the value of an underlying asset. They are frequently used in hedging to minimize the risk when trading in the underlying stock and therefore require accurate pricing. Though quite some research has been conducted on...bachelor thesis 2019

Bouma, Jozine (author)This report is a graduation thesis for the master Integrated Product Design at the Delft University of Technology. Carried out in collaboration with Philips Design in the Netherlands. The project is about how to engage consumers in the transition from a linear towards a circular economy in which we make more efficient use of materials and...master thesis 2019

Gatou, Maria (author)Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) have the potential to make quality education affordable and available to the masses and reduce the gap between the most privileged and the most disadvantaged learners worldwide. However, this potential is overshadowed by low completion rates, often below 15%. Due to the high level of autonomy that is required...master thesis 2019

van Teeseling, Ivar (author)A new certification approach for bonded primary Fiber Metal Laminate (FML) structures is investigated: using bolts as Disbond Arrest Features (DAF)s to contain the growth of bond line damages so that they can be found and repaired by inspection before becoming critical. By fatigue testing with coupon specimens and model analysis, it has been...master thesis 2019

Wang, Johnny (author)The gap between predicted brain age and chronological age could serve as biomarker for early-stage neurodegeneration and as potentially as a risk indicator for dementia. We assess the utility of this age gap as a risk biomarker for incident dementia in a general elderly population. The brain age is estimated from longitudinal brain magnetic...master thesis 2019

Ahmed, Mehwish (author)Manufacturing systems are becoming increasingly complex with the involvement of several plants, dozens of production lines, and thousands of different SKUs. Products have to be stored between the production stages, and the export to the end-users. Within this context, storage assignment decisions are crucial in order to reduce the number of...master thesis 2019

Elpenhof, Chris (author)In the mining industry, sampling is an essential feature for the characterization of the material when all available material cannot be examined and only a small fraction of the total is evaluated. This study addresses how the minimum number of samples required to obtain a statistically accurate answer. This is important since less sample...student report 2019

Harmsen, Stefan (author)This master’s thesis project related inflow conditions to atypical fatigue loading of wind turbines. The research was fully based on experimental data obtained in another project. First an expected fatigue loading was defined based on the mean wind speed and the turbulence intensity. Differences between expected and measured fatigue loading were...master thesis 2019

Yang, Yaoling (author)Quantum computers hold the promise to solve some hard problems that are intractable for even the most powerful current supercomputers. One of the most famous examples is Shor's algorithm for factorizing large numbers, which has exponential speedup compared to its best classical counterparts.<br/>However, running such an algorithm will require to...master thesis 2019

Kienhuis, Hatto (author)This paper gives an insight in strategies for implementing, processing and producing Miscanthus x Giganteus, or Elephant grass as it is mistakenly called, on a mid-large scale in the Parkstad Region. The area is rooted in agriculture because of fertile löss soil. There have always been a tight bond between the villages and surrounding land. This...master thesis 2019

Tan, Li (author)In the coming 80 years, the rise of productivity will result in two main directions: first, decentralization of work and production; second, economy turns its focus to emotion and wellness. So we claim that “Pleasure and Leisure are becoming the next leading economy.” We envision Amstel to be a (P)Leisure City. Within this context, the Fun...master thesis 2019

Diaz Guasgua, Andrea (author)Worldwide roughly 80% of heating and cooling systems in the building sector are currently dominated by fossil-fuel technologies. These systems, known as Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems have contributed to global climate change and global warming. These effects are the consequence of the increasing demand of HVAC systems...master thesis 2019

Hagenaars, Kay (author)The information security (IS) risk assessment process is an essential part to organisation's their protection of digital assets. However, the fast changing IS environment causes for limited knowledge of eventualities, dependencies and values of systems and phenomena. Consequently, the IS risk assessment process is depending on the judgment of...master thesis 2019

Tigchelaar, Yvo (author)Travelling by air has become commonplace, and more and more people can afford themselves to fly. In twelve years time, the amount of people that were carried by airlines doubled to four billion passengers in 2017. At Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, the main gateway into the Netherlands and also a large hub for connecting flights, saw a growth of 20...master thesis 2019

Joshi, Vimarsh (author)This paper proposes a novel framework for Fault Detection and Isolation(FDI) of motor and propeller faults in multicopter UAVs by analysis of motor-stator current. Conventional methods used for FDI in multicopter UAVs are based on actuator effectiveness. They fail to identify and distinguish the type of faults present in UAV motor or propeller....master thesis 2019

Koekoek, Catherine (author)Politics no longer works like the democratic ideal presumed it did. We need to find other ways of doing politics: not just representational and abstract, but situated and performative. Architecture can help us doing this. This project focuses on the situation of Reyeroord, IJsselmonde, Rotterdam. I propose a building process of three theatre...master thesis 2019

de Voogd, Rein (author)High Temperature – Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage (HT-ATES) is a way to efficiently store heat with use of the subsurface. Region Holland-Rijnland has the vision to be free of the use of natural gas in 2050. A proposed high temperature heating network from the port of Rotterdam to the households of Leiden, combined with the use of an HT-ATES...bachelor thesis 2019
