Suh Heo, H.Y. (author)Various flood protection measures are studied across the globe, and nature-friendly and environmentally resilient methods are gaining more attention. As part of the building with nature initiative, the project BE SAFE (Bio-Engineering for SAFEty) studies the effects of a vegetated foreshore as a flood protection measure which is found to be very...master thesis 2016

Enganati, S.K. (author)Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMwPE) fibers are well known for their very high specific mechanical properties such as tensile strength and Young’s modulus. The solution spinning/solid state drawing process invented in the late 70s at DSM enables the production of these UHMwPE fibers with outstanding mechanical properties. The...master thesis 2016

Matton, R.Y. (author)Sustainable energy advice is provided in a market in which sustainable energy (SE) consultancies, such as the Energy Research Institute of the Netherlands (ECN), provide SE research for policies and public policy-makers demand for research. However, the Sustainable Energy Advice Market (SEAM) and the way in which the SEAM’s impact on SE public...master thesis 2016

Both, C. (author)Although DES has become a well-accepted tool for decision-making in the mining industry, the time consuming modelling work and high programming effort is normally only considered feasible for large-scale projects examined in project-based case studies. This is why Knauf has developed an adapted simulation tool for mining for the use on a cross...master thesis 2016

Liu, Z. (author)With increasing scale of usage for renewable energy resource, DC micro-grids system becomes more and more popular for the application of different kinds of power electronics in DC. However DC arc fault introduces major safety concerns due to the randomness and instability, especially absence of zero current crossing, which makes it is hard to be...master thesis 2016

van Hengel, I.A.J. (author)Background Due to an aging population, the incidence of total joint replacements has been increasing and is expected to double in the coming decade. Along with implantation, the incidence of implant-associated infection (IAI) has risen and forms a tremendous burden for health care. Therefore, effective preventive measures for IAI are desperately...master thesis 2016

Gonzalez, R.A. (author)The goal of this work is to develop a model that can accurately represent reactive adsorption, and to apply that model to determine the feasibility of H2 production using steam methane reforming (SMR). A 1-D model of reactive adsorption that takes into account adsorption kinetics, and chemical reactions of gas species in a non-isothermal ...master thesis 2016

Armstrong, M. (author)Non-invasive in-situ measurements can determine the soil properties in an undisturbed way, providing a more accurate characterization of the soil stiffness and damping. This report focuses on the multichannel analysis of surface waves (MASW) technique. The measured dispersion of a propagating seismic wave is used to characterize the variation of...master thesis 2016

Hovland, K. (author)Current electrosurgical instruments often lack the capability to be optimally customized to a certain procedure/patient. It simply wouldn’t be feasible to produce ten or hundred different configurations in terms of dimensions and geometry of the same device. Most instruments come in one configuration. This study aims to increase the flexibility...master thesis 2016
