Cancrinus, Nick (author)For radar applications, MIMO is often used. The problem is that the amount of available transmit- and receive channels is limited. If each channel is connected to a single antenna element, the effective aperture is small, and therefore the beamwidth is large and the angular resolution is limited. In this thesis, a novel scheme is proposed that...master thesis 2019

van Schouwenburg, Sietse (author)Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM) algorithms provide accurate localization for autonomous vehicles and provide essential information for the path planning module. However, SLAM algorithms as- sume a static environment in order to estimate a location. This assumption influences the pose estimation in dynamic urban environments. The...master thesis 2019

Johnston, Julian (author)This report has the main aim of comparing the Mixed Finite Element Method to the standard Finite Element Method. The other aim is to let the reader understand what these methods entail. The latter is done by first journeying through the theory behind the FEM. It is first explored in one dimension to keep the setting simple. Next, the Mixed FEM...bachelor thesis 2019

Michielsen, Frans (author)In dit verslag behandelen we de Extrapolatie Stelling van Yano: een stelling die voor operators van de vorm T : f(x) -> T(f)(x) in bepaalde omstandigheden een afschatting geeft van de absolute integraal over T(f)(x) in termen van f(x) zelf. We zullen zien dat deze afschatting, en meer afschattingen van soortgelijke vorm, onder de juiste...bachelor thesis 2019

Hebbink, Thomas (author)In recent years, Dutch wage growth has failed to keep up with productivity growth which has resulted in a productivity-wage gap. This suggests that workers have not benefitted proportionately from their increased productivity. This thesis investigates how productivity and wage have developed in the Netherlands during the past 50 years.master thesis 2019

Pauli, Philippe (author)Subsea pipelines are critical for oil and gas production and transport, more than 100.000kmof subsea pipelines have been laid. These pipelines are laid by specially designed ships which can lay these pipelines at great depth and a high speed. However, designing the supply chain to deliver joints (pipe pieces) to these pipe lay vessels can be...master thesis 2019

Amanda Castolina Lahiraja, Amanda (author)Developing renewable energy sources entails new challenges which have not been faced previously by the traditional grid. One of the issues is the variability of renewable resources due to their characteristics of weather. The intermittent nature produces uncertainty in generation output, especially in solar and wind power generation. As...master thesis 2019

Limon De Jesus, Gianluca (author)The Internet of Things (IoT) will soon impact the lives of thousands of people as numerous IoT devices are emerging in the consumer market. Consumers goods consist of products designed for the consumption of final consumers. Even though IoT applications are expected to improve people's lives, security is often lacking in current IoT devices....master thesis 2019

van Sambeek, Boudewijn (author)The European Union (EU) landfilled and incinerated 600 million tons of waste in 2013, which could have been recycled and returned as raw material to the economy. Resource efficiency can regain this value and bring economic, environmental and social benefits. The EU has therefore adapted the Circular Economy Package with targets to stimulate the...master thesis 2019

Pezzato, Corrado (author)Dealing with inherently unmodeled dynamics and large parameter variations or faults, is a challenging task while controlling robot manipulators. Classical control techniques cannot usually provide satisfactory responses, and often external supervision systems have to be designed to handle the faults. Recent research has shown that active...master thesis 2019

Zhou, Zequn (author)Urban areas are rapidly expanding in developing countries. One of goals of the United Nations Human Settlement Programme (UN-Habitat) is to understand and guide urban development for some developing regions.<br/>Currently, the approaches that UN-Habitat is using cost plenty of workforce, material, and time. Therefore, UN-Habitat is interested in...master thesis 2019

de Groot, Stef (author)Technology developments are making it possible to start automating the last-mile of parcel logistics. This raises the question of how these autonomous technologies will interact with humans. The goal of this project is to design a concept of a delivery robot for DHL, that maximizes acceptance by pedestrians. <br/><br/>Literature research and...master thesis 2019

de Wolde, Lotte (author)This design project investigates how commoning can support the practice of urban foraging, resulting in a framework that describes the social characteristics of commoning and the abilities and opportunities for urban foraging. The framework led to a design showcase, called Get To Gather, which is an interactive board in public space to let...master thesis 2019

Wu, Ting Wei (author)Congestion in the landside air cargo supply chain occurs for different concurring reasons. Lack of coordination between freight forwarders, as example, might create truck congestion on the ground handler side. Horizontal collaboration between forwarders can be introduced and modeled via mathematical programming to mitigate congestion. Resulting...master thesis 2019

Boerenveen, Jair (author)The fracture energy for hardwood was modeled using finite element modeling (FEM) software DIANA. The results of the model was compared to the fracture energy experimental research performed by Boerenveen (2019). The fracture energy results obtained by the model are similar to the results obtained from the experimental research. An model fracture...student report 2019

Karthikeyan, Kritika (author)The ambitious energy policy goals set by the European Union have accelerated the pace at which energy efficiency and clean energy measures are being adopted. The Netherlands, lagging behind by a massive margin in transitioning to a green energy infrastructure, feel the need, now more than ever, to push the integration of renewable energy into...master thesis 2019

Nagda, Neel (author)Stringent control demands from the high-tech mechatronics industry have warranted the need to explore potentially advantageous non-linear controllers. Variable Fractional Order (VFO) calculus provides one such avenue to build non-linear PID-like controllers. VFO calculus is the generalization of integer order differentiation and integration,...master thesis 2019

ten Napel, Albert (author)Side-effect are ubiquitous in programming. Examples include mutable state, exceptions, non-determinism, and user input. Algebraic effects and handlers are an approach to programming that gives a structured way of programming with effects. Each effect in a system with algebraic effects is defined by a set of operations. These operations can then...master thesis 2019

Torres Di Zeo, Alvaro (author)The availability of photolithography machines is key in the semiconductor industry, as downtime generally incurs in immense economic loss. Time to market is also very important for suppliers of photolithography systems, such as ASML. Photolithography machines include numerous measurement systems that are frequently used for qualification and...master thesis 2019
