For this research the main objective is to understand the effect fire would have on biocrete, as well as optimizing the amount of Miscanthus fibres into the mixture to make biocrete that is still strong enough for internal walls, as well as sub-research objectives that will be researched and accomplished …

Abstract BackgroundFrailty is a syndrome that is defined as an accumulation of deficits in physical, psychological, and social domains. On a global scale, there is an urgent need to create frailty-ready healthcare systems due to the healthcare burden that frailty confers on systems and the increased …

Recently, we have introduced and modified graph-decomposition theorems based on a graph product motivated by applications in the context of synchronising periodic real-time processes. This vertex-removing synchronised product (VRSP) is based on modifications of the well-known Cartesian product and is …

This report is the result of my internship at the research group Energy in Transition at The Hague University of Applied Sciences. The report shows the process and results from the development of a method to produce design and control advice to increase building energy flexibility based on open source …

Recently, we have introduced and modified two graph-decomposition theorems based on a new graph product, motivated by applications in the context of synchronising periodic real-time processes. This vertex-removing synchronised product (VRSP), is based on modifications of the well-known Cartesian product …

Graphs are ubiquitous. Many graphs, including histograms, bar charts, and stacked dotplots, have proven tricky to interpret. Students’ gaze data can indicate students’ interpretation strategies on these graphs. We therefore explore the question: In what way can machine learning quantify differences in …

This study aims to show that the approaches to culture and cultural differences usually referred to in IB courses at RBS are misleading in many ways. It aims at animating managers, teachers, and students of international business to develop an understanding of a different ‘culture’ that surpasses a superficial …

Key to reinforcement learning in multi-agent systems is the ability to exploit the fact that agents only directly influence only a small subset of the other agents. Such loose couplings are often modelled using a graphical model: a coordination graph. Finding an (approximately) optimal joint action for …

The research concerns a currently developed project of implementing a tidal power harnessing system in the structure of Brouwersdam. The system would exploit hydraulic head difference between two water bodies and using gravity caused flow, generate electricity. As a side-effect to such system, hydraulic …

Information about the sources of plastic litter found in the Zeeuwse Delta is still scarce. This problem is addressed by this study with the aim to identify the possible sources of plastics that washed ashore on a selection of beaches in the Zeeuwse Delta. For this study the source and origin of the …
