Deloo, C.P.P. (author)Different evaluation techniques can be used in order to assess the quality of a multi-label classification task. The most commonly used performance measures in classification are the classic information retrieval notions of precision and recall. These measures assume independence between the target labels meaning that the assignment of a label...master thesis 2013

De Boom, L. (author)Flood protection of the land around an estuary has been important for the Netherlands since the floodings of 1953. There are several types of possible solutions. For example; levee heightening, construction of a dam or a storm surge barrier. All these solutions have certain disadvantages, like costs or environmental impact. Another option is a...master thesis 2013

Masy, E. (author)The experimental determination of the diffusivity of carbon dioxide (CO2) in an amine solvent is difficult as the CO2 diffuses and reacts simultaneously when absorbed into an amine solvent. As the knowledge of the diffusivity and solubility of CO2 is essential to design the absorption units based on amine solvents, the nitrous oxide (N2O)...master thesis 2013

Van Weperen, S. (author)In this research we investigate a class of systems which can only be controlled by dissipating energy. As an example, we investigate the control of a robotic manipulator without motors, but merely dissipative elements such as brakes and dampers. The energy source of the manipulator is the potential (gravitational) energy of the package which it...master thesis 2013

Chan, P.K.M. (author)One of the main challenges in Multi-disciplinary Design Optimisation (MDO) is the interoperability of heterogeneous simulation tools. Some researches have reported that, due to these interoperability issues, only around 20% of the product development time is spent on analyses and creative design tasks. Clearly, there is a lot to gain, when it...master thesis 2013

Visser, M. (author)Abstract—Content-based video retrieval is a complex task because of the large amount of information in single items and because databases of videos can be very large. In this paper we explore a possible solution for efficient similar item retrieval. In our experiments we combine relevant feature sets together with a learned Mahalanobis metric...master thesis 2013

Van Emmerik, T.H.M. (author)Currently, vegetation is considered a barrier to soil moisture retrieval by both passive and active remote sensing missions. Microwave emission and backscattering of vegetation is driven by the vegetation dielectric constant, which is a function of vegetation water content. The latter is a measure of root zone water availability. Understanding...master thesis 2013
