This research originated from the need to transform unstructured internship assignment descriptions from the OnStage dataset into structured insights that support a better understanding of SME challenges in the Zeeland region. The objective was to contribute to the desired future situation in which the …

Many modern unitised façades rely on structural sealant glazing (SSG) to accommodate building drift and slab deflection. However, when hung-and-sworded panels undergo racking, the resulting shear strains expose limitations in current design workflows. While it is common practice to use simplified linear …

The goal of this project is to investigate the feasibility and value of a modular tool system for the Roberine machine platform (seen in Figure 1). Currently, the Roberine is used as a mowing machine with a limited range of available tools. This may reduce its versatility compared to competing machines …

Hospitality and air transport are closely connected, and any disruption in the air transport network will have an impact on airport hotels. Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is becoming more and more constrained due to flight limitations, regulatory pressure, and disruptions. Hyatt Place Amsterdam Airport, …

This research held two main intentions, the first being to analyze what subsurface layouts have what kinds of effects on pipe length for the dike failure mechanism, and the second being to create a model using this information and knowledge. The first intention was completed using two different programs: …

With a growing world population and simultaneously degrading ecosystems due to unsustainable agricultural practices, and due to a limited available space and resources, sustainable food sources are increasing in demand. Seaweed has emerged as a promising nutritious and protein rich alternative of low …

In conclusion, the research objective was met. The objective was to identify and structure the key factors and value creation mechanisms that shape the prospects for financial sustainability of NbS interventions, or projects with a central NbS component, in order to support the assessment of what makes …

Shared Service Centers (SSCs) and Global Business Services (GBS) organizations are evolving from transactional, cost-focused units into strategic partners that deliver value through digitalization, analytics, regulatory compliance, and business partnering. Within this context, Purchase-to-Pay (P2P) has …

From March 2014 to September 2016, the instruments in the Rosetta Plasma Consortium (RPC) onboard the European Space Agency's Rosetta spacecraft measured the plasma environment of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko (67P/CG) in detail. Multiple datasets of these instruments show instances of asymmetric and …

CO₂ emissions from electricity generation in the Netherlands fluctuate on an hourly basis, depending on which power plants are active in the energy mix. Accurate next-day forecasts of these emissions would enable companies to align energy consumption with low emission periods, but reliable forecasting …
