An important consideration for future age-friendly cities is that older people are able to live in housing appropriate for their needs. While thermal comfort in the home is vital for the health and well-being of older people, there are currently few guidelines about how to achieve this. This study is …

Background: Parents influence their children’s nutrition behavior. The relationship between parental influences and children’s nutrition behavior is often studied with a focus on the dyadic interaction between the parent and the child. However, parents and children are part of a broader system: the family. …

This research, commissioned by Fox-IT, is focused on the development of a new concept in cybersecurity event monitoring to improve the detection capabilities of the CTM Endpoint Module. Additional background information of Fox-IT is provided in Chapter 2. The description of the research assignment and …

Abstract A setup is designed and constructed to perform specular reectance spectroscopy on an enzymatic reaction, while simultaneously monitoring the heat produced by the reaction using a FLIR camera. The spectrum of ethanol was recorded using two MCT detectors and showed clear overlap with literature …

Earth’s magnetic field, also known as the geomagnetic field, interacts with the solar wind, a stream of charged particles originating from the Sun. The interaction causes the geomagnetic field to undergo variations, called geomagnetic disturbances or geomagnetic activity. This bachelor thesis features …

The observed persistent soft X-ray spectra (0.5 - 10 keV) of anomalous Xray pulsars (AXPs) can be explained by the magnetar model (Woods and Thompson et al., 2002 [3]) where the emission is powered by the decay of an extreme high magnetic eld ( 1014 G). Because these spectra are relatively soft, measurements …

This thesis describes how the abundance of CO2 a ects the porosity of H2O:CO2 ice mixtures deposited at di erent growth temperatures ranging from 30 - 70 K. The mixing ratios of the used ice samples H2O:CO2 = 10:1, 4:1 and 2:1 are of astrophysical relevance. Laser optical interference is used to monitor …

SBM Schiedam is active in the design, engineering and construction of Floating Production Storage and O oading (FPSO) ships. Currently SBM has a few projects for Petrobras. Purpose of an FPSO is to produce oil from a subsea oil eld. The FPSO production process is split over di erent modules which can …
