vailability of FPGAs is increasing due to cloud service offerings. In the wake of a new in-memory storage format specification, Apache Arrow, FPGAs are increasingly interesting for data processing acceleration in the big data domain. The Fletcher framework can be used to easily develop FPGA accelerated applications that access data stored in...

Many regions around the world are facing water shortage, low water quality, unsustainable overuse or other problems that may even cause conflict among different actors. These water resources are typical examples of common-pool resources. Leaders seem to play a crucial role in the emergence of community-based management of resources and...

An appropriate understanding of a machine's competences may be critical for safe use. Sharing measures of real-time function reliability could help users to adjust their reliance on machine capabilities. We designed a vibrotactile interface that communicates spatiotemporal information about surrounding events and further encodes a representation...

Machine Learning Control is a control paradigm that applies Artificial Intelligence methods to control problems. Within this domain, the field of Reinforcement Learning (RL) is particularly promising, since it provides a framework in which a control policy does not have to be programmed explicitly, but can be learned by an intelligent controller...

Context - In the construction industry of today, buildings are seen as finished products rather than ongoing processes. The business model of facades as a product service system is a promising strategy to change these practices. A pilot project at Delft University of Technology sparks the interest of Alkondor Hengelo, to explore their tasks and...

Frey and Osborne (2013) have researched the effects of current digitization and robotization of society and concluded 47 percent of American jobs have a high probability of disappearing between now and the year 2030. There are signs that these technological developments may lead to a fourth industrial revolution and consequently, unemployment...

Recommender systems are essential for filtering immense amounts of available digital content. As these quantities keep increasing, the impact of recommendations does so as well. In this work, we address negative impacts current state-of-the-art recommenders have. For the algorithmic filtering of items that are recommended to users, collaborative...

With the advent of high-bandwidth non-volatile storage devices, the classical assumption that database analytics applications are bottlenecked by CPUs having to wait for slow I/O devices is being flipped around. Instead, CPUs are no longer able to decompress and deserialize the data stored in storage-focused file formats fast enough to keep up...

This thesis report helps to identify which business strategies can make product-service systems a feasible business model for cradle-to-cradle certified products. Cradle-to-cradle is a product certification that highlights the material re-utilization and material health of any products. Product-service systems are the business models that...

Policymakers who work in the public health sector may rely on the help of quantitative models to support their choice of control strategy against a particular infectious disease. While policymakers have a large number of decision support models to choose from, hardly any of these tools are used to design an intervention strategy that can work...

In drinking water production, natural organic matter (NOM) is sometimes removed using ion exchange (IEX) resin. This treatment method has a limitation based on the exchanging capacity on the resin. Therefore, the resin needs to be regenerated when it is saturated with adsorbed NOM which leads to the production of brine. In general, NaCl is used...

We present a powerful approach for learning about uncomputability and undecidability in informationtheory. Our approach is to use automata from automata theory that have undecidable properties toconstruct channels for which an information-theoretic quantity is uncomputable or undecidable. Wedemonstrate this approach by showing that, for channels...

Global energy demand is on the rise. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), in 2018, the building sector alone constituted 28 % of all energy-related CO2 emissions. In an effort to reduce the carbon footprint of the building sector, the European Union has decreed that every new building from 2021 must be a nearly zero energy...

Today's coastal zones are densely inhabited as the majority of the world's population lives in these attractive areas. The shorelines in coastal zones are shaped by complex spatial and temporal variable interactions between natural forcings like changes in mean sea-level, tides, wave and wind conditions, and storm surges. Besides, natural...

The conventional evacuation modelling assumes that that family members are to be together in the face of tsunamis and evacuate as a household or each person evacuate individually. This assumption, however, can cause an inaccurate prediction when taking family gathering behaviour into account, which was reported to have occurred during the 2011...

In 2008, the crash of the housing market bubble lead not only to the collapse of the U.S financial system, but also to a Global Financial Crisis. The Eurozone was hurt, and the impact was not uniform. The “sick periphery”, and in particular Greece, still suffer from the consequences of this crisis. After three adjustment programmes and €293...

Societal and political attention to the effects of climate change and possible mitigation and adaptationpolicies has increased sharply in the last decades, resulting partly from increasing awareness about therole of humanity and partly from the ever more noticeable changes in our world caused by climatechange. This societal interest has...

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...

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...

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...
