Interconnected and smart technologies complicate personal information management (PIM) because users delegate the storing, organizing, and retrieving of personal information to smart and mobile service providers. Meta-level PIM activities are required to maintain the privacy and security of personal …

The construction and transport sectors both have a substantial impact on the environment. The construction, maintaining and renovating of roads involves both these sectors and the environmental impact of this work can be reduced. The basic principle of a circular economy is to close material loops and …

Stormwater runoff can contain high amounts of Potential Toxic Elements (PTE) as heavy metals. PTE can have negative and direct impact on the quality of surface waters and groundwater. The European Water Framework Directive (WFD) demands enhanced protection of the aquatic environment. As a consequence, …

‘Horen door te kijken’ luidt de titel van dit onderzoek: luisteren met de ogen. Door gebouwtoegankelijkheid op een hoger niveau te brengen, kan men door te kijken alle auditieve zaken waarnemen, zonder het gehoor hiervoor te hoeven gebruiken.

Hierdoor kunnen er gevaarlijke situaties optreden, zoals het niet uitschakelen van een vermogensschakelaar …

A new bookkeeping system called Jiskefet is being developed for A Large Ion Collider Experiment (ALICE) during Long Shutdown 2, to be in production until the end of LHC Run 4 (2029). Jiskefet unifies two function- alities: a) gathering, storing and presenting metadata associated with the oper- ations …

Neighborhood image processing operations on Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) are considered as memory intensive operations. A large memory bandwidth is required to transfer the required pixel data from external memory to the processing unit. On-chip image buffers are employed to reduce this data …

Op het spoor in Nederland worden verscheidene componenten gebruikt om het systeem draaiende te houden. Het systeem komt geregeld in storing en hierdoor kan de normale dienstregeling geen doorgang meer vinden. Dit zorgt uiteindelijke voor vertragingen bij de reiziger. In deze scriptie zal worden in gegaan …
