Data of the i-MASTER project: A novel initiative in maritime education and training experience
No full texti-MASTER datasets.
The i-MASTER project is an EU funded project under grant agreement No. 101060107. The project's objective is to study and develop an AI-based intelligent learning system with learning analytics and adaptive learning function for students engaged in both remote (home-based) and on-site maritime simulator education and training. The project will give insights to simulation performances. The research will work on digitalised navigational performance assessments to provide unbiased student performance evaluation and to find new ways for students and instructors to understand the learning progress.
The project has a series of deliverables to reach the project objectives. Many deliverables have collected data as part of the studies of the respective deliverables. The data collected are part of simulation scenarios, interviews, questionnaires etc. The i-MASTER project is an open to public project.The data collected are stored in a database and made available to the public and researchers for re-use. Each deliverable has a ReadMe file to make it easy for users to understand the link between the data and project
Midwest Transportation Consortium : 2006-2007 annual report.
No full textIntroduction: The Midwest Transportation Consortium (MTC) began year 8 by having the funding it receives from the Research and Innovative Technology Administration doubled, and by losing its regional grant to a consortium led by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Fortunately, the MTC later won a Tier I grant through a national competition. In the future, we plan to continue many of the programs we have conducted in the past, reduce our number of partners due to a decrease in resources, and more tightly define our theme.MTC partners during year 8 (all consortium universities) include the Universities of Missouri at Columbia (UM-C) and St. Louis (UMSL), Lincoln University, and the University of Northern Iowa (UNI). The University of Missouri at Kansas City (UMKC) is officially part of the consortium, but due to personnel changes has largely been inactive
Data Related to Meta-analysis of up to 622,409 individuals identifies 40 novel smoking behaviour associated genetic loci
No full textHere we have included four sets of meta-analysis results: Meta-analysis of discovery and replication cohorts, combining genotyped Exome-chip and Axiom array content for (i) Smoking Initiation, (ii) Cigarettes per day, and (iii) Smoking Cessation, and (iv) meta-analysis of discovery cohorts for Pack Years.Smoking is a major heritable and modifiable risk factor for many diseases, including cancer, common respiratory disorders and cardiovascular diseases. We tested up to 235,116 single nucleotide variants (SNVs) on the exome-array for association with smoking initiation, cigarettes per day, pack-years, and smoking cessation in a fixed effects meta-analysis of up to 61 studies (up to 346,813 participants). SNV-trait associations with P < 5 × 10−8 in either analysis were taken forward for replication in up to 275,596 independent participants from UK Biobank. Lastly, a meta-analysis of the discovery and replication studies was performed. These novel loci will facilitate understanding the genetic aetiology of smoking behaviour and may lead to the identification of potential drug targets for smoking prevention and/or cessation.GSCAN; Consortium for Genetics of Smoking Behaviour; CHD Exome+ consortium. (2019). Data Related to Meta-analysis of up to 622,409 individuals identifies 40 novel smoking behaviour associated genetic loci.

Developing a Master Data Sharing Agreement: Seeking Student-Level Evidence to Support a Collaborative Community Effort in Education
No full text· A private foundation, a public school system, and a state university joined forces to address a difficult, long-standing challenge: closing the academic achievement gap between urban and suburban students.
· All parties agreed that sharing of longitudinal, student-level data was required to drive and evaluate multiple efforts to close the gap, but significant technical, regulatory, and political obstacles stood in the way.
· The parties worked through multiple challenges and forged a Master Data Sharing Agreement (MDSA) that will facilitate both daily intelligence for program staff and powerful post-hoc research capacity.
· This MDSA text has been released online for your use under the Creative Commons license (Community Research Institute, 2011a).
· Reaching the agreement required a shared vision, definitive research, genuine trust, true alignment, dogged patience, ample investment, iterative development, selfless collaboration, careful coordination, and fidelity to a common language: data

Development od an assessment tool for energy neutrality at a district level: Evaluation of master plans on sustainable energies applied to Merwe-Vierhavens, Stadshavens Rotterdam
No full textMSc Industrial Ecology at Technical University of Delft and University of Leiden. - This thesis research was conducted to complete the MSc of Industrial Ecology. Technical University of Delft and the Engineering office of the Municipality of Rotterdam (public works of Rotterdam) Ingenieurs bureau Gemeente Rotterdam) cooperative program ensured and provided guidance, information and tools to achieve this thesis. The subject of this master thesis report is the development a concept assessment tool to assist public authorities in choosing an energy neutrality master plan for district development. The port of Rotterdam is at the phase of relocation causing a redistribution of space and authority. The “abandoned” areas need to be redeveloped and change function usage. Municipality of Rotterdam sees the current situation of Stadshavens as an opportunity window for sustainable development. Energy neutrality at a district level is one potential proposal for sustainable district development. This development implementation will be held by a private consortium chosen by the Municipality of Rotterdam with a concession type of project. The pre-mentioned circumstances made a development of an assessment tool to assist the choice of energy master plans at district level a necessity.Technology, Policy and ManagementPolicy, Organization Law and GamingMSc Industrial Ecolog
Introducing Privacy-Enhancing Technologies to Consortium Blockchains
No full textBlockchain technology has revolutionized the way data is stored, managed, and shared across various industries. Its decentralized nature and immutability make it highly attractive in use cases that require transparency, integrity, and accountability. However, some applications demand confidentiality, necessitating the development of permissioned/consortium blockchains that try to strike a balance between transparency and privacy. Hyperledger Fabric is a permissioned blockchain that has gained popularity due to its modular architecture, performance, and scalability. Despite its strengths, the current set of privacy-enhancing features leaves room for improvement.Therefore, this master thesis aims to explore the potential of introducing various privacy-enhancing technologies to Hyperledger Fabric, including Dynamic Searchable Symmetric Encryption (DSSE), Multi Authority Attribute-based Encryption (MA-ABE), and Trusted Execution Environments (TEE). Based on the promising results of our study, we decided to implement DSSE and MA-ABE. The combination of blockchain technology with TEE was ruled out after the thorough analysis of two research papers on the subject.Our main result is the first implementation of a provable secure DSSE scheme in the context of consortium blockchains. Moreover, we developed a blockchain-enabled MA-ABE system that utilizes a novel and generic approach to foreign function invocation. Finally, the thesis discusses unexplored challenges in the field of logistics related to electronic consignment notes used in road transport. To address these issues, we designed a blockchain architecture that incorporates our developed privacy-enhanced technologies.Computer Science | Cyber Securit
