Out of the urgent need to monitor the status of soil salinization, the Zeeland government and Waterschap Scheldestromen established a salinity monitoring project called salt watcher. This thesis presents a research on the design of an automatic switch system, which is one of the 3 sub-projects of the …

Waterschap Scheldestromen has a measurement device named Multiflexmeter. It uses the LoRaWAN technology to send the measurement data to the gateway. But sometimes, the Multiflexmeter can not connect to the gateway to send data because the line of sight is blocked. So the company is seeking a design of …

In daily life, the amount of carbon dioxide emitted from building heating, cooling and electricity consumption accounts for 47% of the total building carbon dioxide emissions. This makes people pay too much attention to energy conservation and emission reduction, which leads to the neglect of a pleasant …

Addressing and integrating human values into AI design and development processes in research and practice can be di cult, and a clear methodological approach can clarify issues of both theory and prac- tice. One such approach is Value Sensitive Design (VSD), an established theory for addressing issues …

This white paper is presented by the Ethics Working Group of the uNLock Consortium This white paper presents findings of the Ethics Working Group, from the conceptual phase of investigation into the ethical issues of the uNLock solution, providing identity management solutions for sharing and presentation …

This paper presents an innovative approach that combines optimization and simulation techniques for solving scheduling problems under uncertainty. We introduce an Opt–Sim closed-loop feedback framework (Opt–Sim) based on a sliding-window method, where a simulation model is used for evaluating the optimized …

This research explores current strategies and approaches directed to integrate innovative technologies in the home modification process to support independent living and ageing in place. The systematic review considered studies conducted from the perspective of architecture, smart technology, and gerontology. …

NL:  Tijdens het ontwerptraject van deze Tolhuijs stoel stond het woord simpel centraal voor zowel destoel zelf als de productietechniek. De intentie is om de stoel te laten produceren in socialewerkplaatsen. De benodigde materialen voor de stoel zijn afkomstig van afvalstromen van anderebedrijven, waarbij …

This study starts with a literature review on SLS-printed PA12 and how its ductility is influenced in the printing process as well as by post processing. The rest of the study focuses on one particular post processing technique, heat treatment under isostatic pressure, including an experimental phase …
