Reimann, Jesse (author)It was first shown by D. Potapov and F. Sukochev in 2009 that Lipschitz functions are also operator-Lipschitz on Schatten class operators S<sup>p</sup>, 1<p<∞, which is related to a conjecture by M. Krein. Their proof combined Schur multiplication, a generalisation of component-wise matrix multiplication, with the so-called first order...master thesis 2024

Reijers, Rico (author)Numerous traffic bridges have been constructed over the last 150 years. Because bridges are commonly built based on an expected lifetime of 75 to 100 years, a large quantity of bridges are reaching the end of their design lifetime, or even are far overdue. To ensure these bridges remain operational without experiencing catastrophic failures,...master thesis 2024

Arblaster, Thomas (author)Through exploratory scenario development, this study delves into the environmental impacts of European commercial aviation. Climate targets and the adoption of alternative aviation fuels (AAF) following ReFuelEU Aviation are assessed, considering e-fuel produced from direct air capture (DAC) and hydrogen aircraft. A novel method is applied,...master thesis 2024

Twigt, Tom (author)The European offshore wind industry has experienced significant growth in the past decade, mainly focusing on shallow areas in the North Sea to reduce the Levelised Cost of Electricity (LCoE) and compete with fossil fuels. However, as shallow areas become scarcer and the industry seeks greater independence from government subsidies, a shift...master thesis 2024

Gunce, Cem (author)Today's electricity supply falls short of current demands, leading to the utilization of gas turbines in both ground based and avionic infrastructures. Nevertheless, these often rely on carbon-based fuels, resulting in escalating CO2 emissions. However, adopting hydrogen as a fuel eliminates carbon emissions. Aside from zero carbon emissions,...master thesis 2024

Staelens, Michael (author)Cryogenic and semi-cryogenic propellants are the most commonly used liquid propellants for applications in medium-lift launch vehicles. Despite their high performance, the storage requirements for these propellants often lead to complex, heavy, and voluminous structures. The only storable propellant used in medium-lift launch vehicles, UDMH/NTO,...master thesis 2024

Qin, Xusen (author)Neural networks have made significant progress in domains like image recognition and natural language processing. However, they encounter the challenge of catastrophic forgetting in continual learning tasks, where they sequentially learn from distinct datasets. Learning a new task can lead to forgetting important information from previous tasks,...master thesis 2024

Verhelst, H.M. (author)Wrinkles are ubiquitous in the world around us. In our daily lives, we encounter wrinkles in various forms, whether in our clothes or on our skin. Wrinkles emerge as a result of a delicate interplay between bending, membrane, and foundation stiffness contributions within membranes. While experimental investigations provide insights into the...doctoral thesis 2024

Bruggen, Femke (author)Cervical Cancer (CC) is a preventable disease and is easily treated when detected early. Yet it is the second most prevalent cancer related death in Cameroon, causing an estimated 1787 deaths each year (Woks et al, 2023). Cameroon has implemented no national strategy to prevent this disease and so screening practices that are in place are...master thesis 2024
