What Big Tech companies are praised, psychologists/psychiatrists would end up in jail for. If they don 't want to end up behind bars, politicians must also have a very good story if they carry out an operation in which thousands of people lose their jobs, with all the social and psychological consequences …

The aim of this thesis is to identify and implement the best personalized recommendation system that will increase the engagement of Fitenium users. Based on the research, it was determined that the best personalized recommendation system for this use case is Amazon Personalize. Amazon Personalize …

The purpose of the model is to explore the influence of the design of circular business models (CBMs) on CBM viability. The model represents an Industrial Symbiosis Network (ISN) in which a processor uses the organic waste from suppliers to produce biogas and nutrient rich digestate for local reuse. …

This is a repository containing an agent-based model (code, data, documents and results) of Industrial Symbiosis Network implementation. The repository is related to the publication: Lange, K.P., Korevaar, G., Nikolic, I., Herder, P.M., 2021. Actor Behaviour and Robustness of Industrial Symbiosis Networks: …

This report describes how a PV module laminator for high-end flexible PV modules can be made from an existing machine base. In this report, the lamination cycle is explained and lamination tests are performed from which the requirements are set up. This project started with an existing machine base upon …

The past two years I have conducted an extensive literature and tool review to answer the question: “What should software engineers learn about building production-ready machine learning systems?”. During my research I noted that because the discipline of building production-ready machine learning systems …

This paper proposes a Hybrid Microgrid (HμG) model including distributed generation (DG) and a hydrogen-based storage system, controlled through a tailored control strategy. The HμG is composed of three DG units, two of them supplied by solar and wind sources, and the latter one based on the exploitation …

Renewable energy systems are a crucial technological development needed to combat climate change. This thesis covers the design and implementation of a mathematical optimization model, which calculates the lowest cost of hydrogen for certain renewable energy system configurations. The output of the model …

Over the last decades, the increased demand in beef by the growing population led to an industrialization and intensification of the production systems. This resulted in many issues such as environmental impact, animal welfare, consumers acceptability, resource-use efficiency, growing reliance on edible …

Hydroponic systems for lettuces production is a technique used more and more. However, this way of production is not free of environmental impact. The main substrate used today for the production is Rockwool substrate. However, Rockwool substrates are not biodegradable and generate pollution in their …
